I just checked the date of my last blog post. Okay, that's a good sign, means I'm busy and preoccupied with other "stuff". Good stuff! School has been busy and a bit stressful, as it's the end of a school year and there's things to catch up on and finish up. It's a time in special ed where the urge to "pull your hair out" (and you know that's not an option for me!) is uncontrollably strong! My solution? Everyday,last week, I took a "suprise" into work for the girls (co-workers, not students). Monday, it was little mini-Snicker bars.....Tuesday, it was my Wedding Picture Album (oh, Sue and Connie, you should SEE us!!! hahaha)........Wednesday, it was cabbage and apple salad I'd made to share at lunch.....Thursday, snap peas and dip to share with my friend. We would think of something GOOD about the day, instead of dwelling on the crappy stuff. Sounds simple enough, but often hard to do. But it's amazing how just one little, light hearted, uplifting "thought" can change your whole outlook on the day, the week..........and the rest of your life! Ask me how I know......
