Six weeks since last post...
That is totally believable. I ended up taking an overload class this semester because my department chair was having a difficult time staffing all our classes. I want to be a team player, but I'm not going to ever do that again. Even though I get paid extra for it, it is simply not worth it. I will actively recruit others to teach for her, but I simply cannot do this to myself. I don't have time for anything of a personal or social nature and it is running me ragged. The kids are missing out because I'm having to cut back on assignments in order to make sure I have time to grade everything. I hate it. I actually called in sick last Wednesday because I was so incredibly stressed that I made myself sick! Brian and I haven't had any down time in weeks and I haven't been over to his parents house in equally as long a time. We did manage to go to a friend's wedding last night. It was very sweet and she's been planning and dreaming about this since she was 12. I can usually make it through a wedding with no tears, but her fiance is the one who broke me. He started choking up on his vows and I wasn't sure I was going to make it through dry eyed....but I did. They played the imperial march of something like that from Star Trek as her wedding march. Yes, they are a bit nerdy, but I do love them both. LOL. I also babysat for another really good friend of mine last Saturday and took her kids to Renfest. That was an interesting experience. I had a good time for the most part, but I think it confirmed, once again, why I do not have (need?) children. At the end of September my Granny turned 94. We had a family luncheon for her at a local restaurant. She is fiesty as ever and proceeded to tell us all what's what. I hope to goodness I have her genes and turn out as healthy as she is at her age. It is time to go to bed, so I'll be refreshed and ready to go tomorrow.
