Missing AHS

To all my former students,

I miss you! That is all. 

When my house is a mess

Right now, my house is a mess. A real mess. My children are finally asleep although we didn't follow any normal routine at all (baseball didn't even end until after 9:30). My hair is still wet from the first shower I've had in days and I won't dry it tonight or fix it tomorrow. Yet, none of that bothers me too badly. It's been a hell of a year, the details of which don't much matter, and yet I'm finding that very little bothers me. I smile at all those silly things not done on a normal to-do list. I giggle and revel in the little joys and blessings around me. My children are awesome; truly, honestly awesome. I look at them all the time and just smile. But then seep in those things that do bother me. Those big things. Should I teach next year? Should I homeschool Jackson? How can I help my children be moral and ethical in the matters that will soon face them (especially Brock who is in 6th grade)? What is the state of my marriage and how is it going to survive all that we've thrown at it? No wonder this messy house isn't bothering me. I think I just have no room in my mind for it. Wish me luck in all of this, please. Luck and prayers!
