My Job

I've spent an entire weekend trying to decide if I want to continue my job or not. I guess 1 more nite of no sleep won't hurt. It's not the work I mind - that's why I get paid - it's the lack of consideration from some people who just don't bother to think before opening their mouths! I can't even express how hurt I feel. I'm tired of crying and trying to justify their comments. I just don't know what I want to do. I tried relaxing for the entire weekend, but it didn't seem to help. I've got about 12 hours to make up my mind.

On Friendship

I had a very good friend. She used to come to the house on a regular basis. I used to go visit her on a regular basis. We chatted regularly. We shared crisis after crisis, and cried on each others shoulder. Now she's gone out of my life! I don't know why. No explanation. No - you did something to bother me. No you did something wrong. Just - several lies and no more friendship. Friendship means so very much to me - perhaps more than it does to others. My very existence depends on the love and friendship of those around me, and every friend is a valuable asset. Like the economy - I have lost a valuable asset, and it hurts me to the core. Yes - I have many other friends, but each one is special, and the loss of any one, is a tragedy.

I'm Afraid We Might Lose My Niece

My lovely niece, of 16 years of age has thyroid cancer. The problem is that it spread from one side to the other. Then it spread to her stomach. They gave her intensive radiation. Then it spread to her liver. I don't know what's next. She's going with her family to Hawaii on Wednesday for a vacation. Her father's mother paid for the entire trip. Her comment: "I don't know how much longer my grand daughter will be around for me to enjoy". It's so sad to me. A 16 year old has so much of life ahead of her, and to have it cut short seems so very cruel.

I Must Be Crazy!!

I probably should see a good psychiatrist about now! I volunteered! The one thing your not supposed to do - I did! Today I volunteered to double my teaching load - why? A number of friends had classes that were gigantic in size - not just big, but huge - class sizes of 45 and more. I volunteered to teach 2 classes of social studies to lighten their load, and I did this in exchange for them giving me another class of art! So I went from teaching 3 classes to teaching 6. Then again, its for the good of the kids more than anything. Kids can't learn in huge classes. In the eyes of the state, I'm qualified to teach this, but in the eyes of my mind, I just may have bitten off a lot more than I can chew. My blood pressure is up just in anticipation, but at least I am doing something I enjoy doing - working with kids!
