And if you've checked out my FB page, you'll also sense a bit of negativity. I'm in a wickedly foul mood. Mother issues.

I need another vacation, one on my terms to places I want to go. I'm tired of sacrificing my desires to meet other people's expectations.

Had a fabulous weekend in Charleston,SC: Spoleto, Shopping, Beach, Zac Brown Band.Now back to life as I know it. School's out. Need prozac.

I am to the point in my grading where a shovel would be far more helpful than my pen.

Just returned from a field trip with Kindergarteners. I'm beat, plus I now have a farmer tan. On the upside, I learned how to compost.

Now I'll get all of these devil worshippers following me because I said Satan. I'll get church people now because I said worshippers. Hahaha

Mr. Wrench, I'd like you to meet Mr. Plan. Mr. Wrench and Mr. Plan, I'd like you to meet Mr. Handbasket and Satan.

I'm not a big country music fan, but I am jumping on the Zac Brown Band-wagon.

I have been told twice now that I look like Kate Beckinsale. :) I wish I had her money.

Just had a great workout....and a great cupcake. I wish I had an at-home personal trainer. :(

I need a new profile pic but lack motivation.

So sad the weekend's over.I have so much to do this week that I had to sit down and type out my to do list. It goes all the way to next Mon.

Just read an essay for a girl who wants to get into UNC. How do I tell her that I hope her SATs are really high?

[lilybrooke @lilybrooke]

I have such a pile of essays to grade that I think I need a shovel instead of a pen.

[lilybrooke @lilybrooke]

I think I'm done. But you know, now that I DO actually have a moment for myself, I'm so tired I just want to go to bed.

Hanging onto sanity by a thread. Willing myself to be sane, actually. Rubber room looking like a great vacation destination.
