S.T.R.E.S.S.

Ok...I have a confession. I have taken on too much or something. My plate is overloaded as they say....today at the end of the day, I looked down and my hands were shaking and my heart was racing. I had to make myself sit down and take deep breaths. Seriously...parent conference forms, conferences, a freakin' research paper, papers to grade that are piling up AGAIN (I graded for 3 hours last Saturday - there is NO catching up as a teacher), appointments, class tonight.....oh, and I'm turning 35 tomorrow. I need a secretary!

Busy Busy. I'm with you. Wished you lived close to me. Sounds like we both need a good long spa day.

Yikes!! You need a personal assistant and soon!! You should enlist the help of Kevin to help grade papers. I remember helping my cousin grade papers when I was young. I hope things settle down for you soon.

I KNOW your life!!! Hubby and I were just discussing how much my life has changed since I haven't been spending it grading and planning. That is all I did--I NEVER had a life. And here you are about to celebrate an awesome b-day. I hope you had/have a wonderful b-day--you so deserve it (remember, I've been reading your blog awhile, plus, you are a teacher!!!!).


******* HAPPY B-DAY!!!!!! *******
