A Silent Period
i want to blog really badly, but work is destroying me. sigh.
Aaron
i’ve had a horrible week. i haven’t worked so much in about two months. so i bailed out of volunteering tonight, completely stressed and spent. i texted aaron and let him know that i was heading home. he told me that he’d come over and bring me dinner. in between his call and getting here … Read more
Exhausted
not sure if it’s the all-nighter that did me over or this school year, but it was more than difficult to return to school today. the kids were not in the mood to learn or cooperate. i’m glad we went back on a thursday (because tomorrow is friday). where’s my bed?

Comfortable
bob: you know, miss mark, you’re really close with your students. me: what do you mean? bob: well, i can talk to you. i can’t talk with other teachers like this… perhaps i am making a difference. or perhaps my sarcasm is just that attractive :)
Crazy Zone
after going to the leadership summit, a lesson that’s really stuck with me if that i shouldn’t be working in the “crazy zone.” it’s not a good example for others, nor is it healthy for you or your relationship with God. yes every few months this is where i find myself. is it the life … Read more
