"We could keep things just the same
Leave here the way we came..."
- "Want To" by Sugarland
Piling On: That's what it feels like right now, like everything is just piling on. Here I am trying to feel better and trying to pick up my spirits, despite the sadness lingering over my life. And then I get another announcement from a friend about their impending happiness, or someone posts new pictures and I'm ten steps back from where I was. The tears come much quicker now than ever before. I've already cried twice today and I know I'll cry myself to sleep tonight. Sometimes you just know these things.
Baked Goods: My students made cupcakes and brought in pumpkin pie today for their class presentations! I was surprised that they followed through (well, the pie group. My cupcake group likes to bake!). I tried a piece of the pumpkin pie (did not like it and won't eat it again!), but I couldn't finish it. The cupcakes were tasty though and my students used the recipe I use for their buttercream. It came out nice (and they colored it). Sorry, no pictures for this one, I didn't have my camera.
Balancing My Life: I read the chapter that my students have to read for class on Thursday and it made me laugh because it reminded me that I needed to learn how to balance my own life. How can I talk to my students about balancing when I have none of my own? I need to find time for myself somewhere in my life. Even if I have to start doing things on my own, at least I need to start doing them.
