Illusion

If you hold on to the handle, she said, it's easier to maintain the illusion of control. But it's more fun if you just let the wind carry you.

5:43am Blogging


I like this list format... so here's todays:

  1. Waking up with cramps at 4:30am, having anxiety about the workday, and getting up early is not a good combination for Monday morning. However, this made me realize how much I like to pity myself when I don't get enough sleep. I should probably stop complaining since I have so many brand-new-mommy-friends who never ever ever sleep more than 2 hours at a time. But really, poor me!
  2. Ryan and I had an AMAZING weekend. I want more weekends like this one. We (a) went to a broadway show that exceeded my incredibly high expectations (Wicked!), (b) had a dinner out that turned out to be the best food we've eaten in months, let alone for a meal under $50 for both of us and drinks, (c) found Avatar playing in 3-D at the IMAX nearby and I had enough dramamine that I didn't even get motion sick... although I managed to doze off at some point yet again, and (d) made the most delishified strawberry cream cheese stuffed french toast imaginable - we even had powdered sugar for presentation! Let's do that all again, okay?
  3. Does anybody outside of School Counselors and Assistant Principals actually know how much work goes into being a test coordinator for a school's End-of-Grade tests? And my school only has 450 students. How on earth do you do it for schools twice, three-times that size? Really, even people I complain to constantly about it don't have a clue how much planning this involves. And despite my best efforts (and I'm pretty gosh darn organized) I still can manage to mis-count my test manuals and have my numbers 4 short before testing even begins. Can I say poor-poor-pitiful-me again please???
  4. I should probably stop procrastinating this day and get on with it. At least I had extra time to make a tasty egg-bagel-thin for breakfast (which, when you add spicy mustard is actually quite gormet-tasting!)

And now to leave us all with pleasant thoughts, I will practice what I preach to the kiddos and visualize this peaceful place to calm myself all day today...
