Fighting off a sense of anxiety today. Anxiety, frustration, annoyance and agitation, despite a lot of reasons NOT to feel this way. The drive to work was nothing to worry about, as well as the drive home — people were driving responsibly, and I was thankful for my tiptronic and my snow tires.
I had a small class today, due to a whole whack of our kids being sick. Instead of relishing this, I was annoyed. Annoyed that everything I did today, I’ll likely have to do again if the other kids show up tomorrow. I didn’t have my SEA today, and there was no replacement for her, so I fought/coaxed/wheedled my special needs student all day, which annoyed the living daylights out of me, and drained me. I spent most of my lunch chatting with a parent, did a painting activity with the kids, half of which didn’t listen to instructions and had to re-do their assignment (it wasn’t hard, and we were doing it step by step, so there was no reason they couldn’t have done it right the first time…argh!)
Then home to my damn sink still not being done, no call from the damn plumber to let me know he wasn’t coming. I want chocolate in the worst way, but have none in the house, and don’t want to go out into the snow to get any. And I’m restless. Restless and unsure.
Two days and a bit until Mexico, and I can’t wait to get out of here. I want some sun, and a book and not much else.
