Today I began to realize how anxiety-ridden I have been for so long when my body seemed to release some of it today (that, or I'm getting sick again?). I haven't been able to fully wake up today, I've been a little dizzy when I do get up, and my entire gastrointestinal system is a … Continue reading March 30: Release

March 25: Sunday Night Blues
I could really use another day in the weekend. Saturday was too full of things. I am not stressing out with the pit in my stomach the way I used to, but I have to admit, I have the Sunday night blues tonight. I'm avoiding going to bed because I want to stall. I'm reading … Continue reading March 25: Sunday Night Blues
Friday, March 23: Writing through it
If there was any day that I really didn't want to write, today was it. I stayed at work late setting up some really cool stuff for next week, then Annika and I went out for supper and went to the play at the school together (Willy Wonka - it was really fun). We got … Continue reading Friday, March 23: Writing through it
March 21: Trending
I didn't know what to write about, so I took to the Googles to look for some potential prompts. One that caught my eye was "What trends do you dislike?" And I thought "I can complain about things!" But I don't want to be too negative, so I'll try to add some trends I do … Continue reading March 21: Trending
March 18: A few things
A few things about ADHD brain: first of all, if something is out of sight, it's out of mind. Literally. I will buy a salad to fix and put it in the front of the fridge on the shelf, but then Dak will put it into the drawers. The drawers in the fridge are like … Continue reading March 18: A few things
March 17: Police on St. Patrick’s Day
So last night was one of the weirdest nights of my life. For those who don't know, here is the FB post I wrote just after the police left and we went back to bed. I was too awake to sleep, but writing it down helped: Just a few minutes ago, I woke up to … Continue reading March 17: Police on St. Patrick’s Day
March 16: Fun? At School?
Today, for the first time in a very long time, I had fun with every single one of my classes. My 9th graders are reading The House of the Scorpion and are getting into the creepy dystopian world, while my 12th graders just finished reading origin/creation stories from all over the world and comparing them, … Continue reading March 16: Fun? At School?
March 15: Wait, what?
Things are weird. Real weird. I agree with Marco Rubio on a policy issue. I've agreed with him on things in the past, but nothing substantial - just mainly that Trump is a terrible candidate and shouldn't be president. Ever. I also agree with him that when you are thirsty, you should take a drink … Continue reading March 15: Wait, what?
March 14: Walkouts Everywhere
Kids at our school joined kids across the country and world in walking out to protest gun violence and call for more gun safety. My son's school took part, as well, and I'm glad they did. Students and young people have been at the forefront of social movements forever. They have energy and unbridled passion, … Continue reading March 14: Walkouts Everywhere
March 13: Heart Palpitations and Vines
In case you hadn't noticed, I've been pretty stressed and depressed lately. The anxiety has begun to manifest itself in ways that are really annoying, which makes me just want to go to bed and not get up for three days: twitchy eyes, tight chest, headaches, all sorts of things. Today, I started having heart … Continue reading March 13: Heart Palpitations and Vines
