Man, I've had a wild go of it the last couple of days. Fortunately, these situations only involve me indirectly, so I just need to pray for them, but damn these things are pretty heavy and depressing me.
The first issue I can't talk about for a few weeks.
The second issue, my co-worker, the other 7th grade teacher, lost her husband this weekend in a car accident. She has two college-age kids, and I know the son very well - he was a senior at CCS the year I started working and he really attached himself to me, so after he graduated we've gone to lunch and saw I Am Legend and The Hulk together. So now, to hear this, I'm just devastated.
I'm watching two things on facebook - the growing number of comments from friends and family, which is nice and supportive, and the few updates watching the children struggle with the loss of their father. Oh, it's terrible. I can't even imagine, and my heart just breaks for them.
I also have ex-girlfriend issues, which aren't as bad as they sound, but it just adds another thing on top of all of this emotional stuff.
Ugh.
Oh yeah, Happy New Year. :)
