Off work all the live-long day! Woo hoo!! But have oodles of things to do that are time-sensitive. I love the days where i get lots done because i can go from one to another (bank-post office-library-grocery-fruit/veggie market-school) but time-sensitive errands (have Christian to CopperPointe at 1000, go to service at 445) put a crimp in that. Even meeting my friend for coffee-and-chat at 0745 is a crimp in my "flow" (although i can still do the grocery on the way back).So i can get my "gold star" for the day (i'm such a 5 year old!) for my good work.
The boy is still on my last nerve. I find interacting with him so frustrating. I feel it in my gut. I just want to vomit (and/or cry, but i do that a lot). The work that i do with him is my "bad". Whatever i do is wrong, every time. It is frustratingly new territory for this former-A student to find something that no matter how hard i try, no matter what angle i come from, i cannot succeed. Yes, i know that it's not all about me. But i want to help him to have an easier life than the one that he is making for himself with his choices. I can only hope that his stubborn streak will serve him well after he leaves our home (in just five years" for those of us keeping score in the stands", as they say in baseball).
Off to hop in the shower before throwing in the laundry. Gotta avoid the "ugly"!
