Sick Day

Circumstances beyond my control have come together so that the last 2 weeks of work have been "challenging." While I love the teachers I work with and the vice principal, my principal (new to the building this year) leaves something to be desired. Friendly and outgoing on the outside, she's also a master of manipulation, so that I suddenly find myself in situations wondering, "How did I get here?" So work has, as Kevin said, "been getting me down."

After I found myself taking it out on my kids in a way I wouldn't normally do, I took some good advice and declared today a "mental health" sick day. Which, by the time I got home from work at 8:30 last night, was obviously going to be a physical sick day, also. Oh well. Either way, I slept in till 9:00, drugged up, took a loooooonnnnnnnggggggg shower, and got dressed by....11:00. I feel recharged enough to hopefully tackle some of the other areas of my life that have been sadly neglected.

That's the plan, anyway.
