Stressin'

Life can be complicated at times. It can also be downright stressful! This past weekend I was in a wedding (congrats T and Wagon!) It was wonderful to watch two people in love commit to each other. I think they have a great chance of having a long, happy life together, too. I had tons of fun at the reception, boogying down to almost every song played. I was exhausted by midnight, but it was so worth it! When else do I have time with my husband (away from the toddler) and have a DJ at my disposal? I danced the night away and smiled every minute of it.

That was good stress. Work is another story. My students are insane. They are downright disrespectful. They will be completely defiant right to your face and think nothing of it. I remain calm in front of them, but my brain is playing movies of me slamming their foreheads into their table again and again and again. Then there's the curriculum problem I've run into. Oh, you know, the fact that there ISN'T ONE. I have never written curriculum myself, so this is all new for me. I feel like a first year teacher again. STRESS!!!

And then there is the stress that most people probably roll their eyes about. I am turning 30 in 11 days. 11 days!! I know most think nothing of their birthdays, but 30 is a big deal to me. I feel.....old. I am freaking out a bit, but I can't slow down time, so what else can I do?

So yea, I'm stressin'. Just a little. Okay, maybe a lot.
