I Know What to Write About: STRESS

STRESS!!!! Do you ever get that feeling in the back of your shoulders that feels like you have been walking around all day with your shoulders at your ears and your head to one side???? You know that feeling where if someone asked you a question and you put your shoulders up to say that you did not know???? Anyway, that is how I feel. I had to literally hide and lie my way out of school today (I am a teacher and I do all my own stunts!). A coworker who I have lovingly names "Chicken Little" because the sky is always falling according to her.........was hounding me to talk about lesson plans, even though I had already done them. I kept telling her, "I am going to the copy room, be right back......" to which she proceeds to ask me why I am taking my purse and my lunch bag to the copy room. "I could not have pulled a lamer excuse out of my ass, but I said, "I am hungry and am going to eat whatever crumbs are left at the bottom of the bag and I need my purse to buy a diet soda while I am copying." She peered at me and said, "I'll go with you." I then said, the copy room is too crowded right now......(you think she would take a hint)" She looked at me and said (not the brightest lightbulb in the pack), how are you going to copy of you don't have any papers in your hand." Stumped, I looked at her and said, "I am going to get them from another teacher."
She left me alone to ponder if my story made any sense..........................
I then go to Home Depot to buy a geranium for my front yard and end up walking out with a ton of flowers I did not need! As I contemplate taking them back on my drive home, I am greeting by Aidan (2 yrs. old) at the door. "GO!!! OUTSIDE" VROOM!!!!" He says. I notice the huge scratch on his face given to him by no other than Cristian (4 yrs. old). I go out back to discover that Cristian has not only torn up the back yard and Aidan's face, but he has broken a tree that was the height of my two story house!!!!! YES A 4 YR OLD BROKE A TREE THE SIZE OF A HOUSE!!!!! I had to turn into a tree surgeon and begin to try saving branches.... You see now why I said I was a super mom.........
