Anxiety

Today I'm feeling a bit of anxiety...more than just a bit I suppose. This afternoon I'm having a meeting with the school principal to discuss HT's year. I've never written about it here, but this hasn't been a good year. His personality and the personality of his teacher were not a good match, and she flat out told me in October that there were times she couldn't stand to be around him. Some people I've told this to can't believe that I didn't request to have him moved, but at the time I was just too stunned, and looking back now, probably in denial. Anyway, as you can probably imagine, it wasn't a great year for him, and my meeting with the principal is to express our sincere concern that this NOT happen again next year. Because the principal is also my "boss" (after all, he makes the sub calls!) I feel a little anxious discussing this with him. I have no intentions of making demands or asking for promises, but when it comes to my kids I can get a little emotional.

We also know that the father of HT's Godfather is expected to pass anytime now. It's always tough waiting on the phone call. Our family will of course attend the services and be there for "Uncle Nick" however he needs us. I've been saying prayers that he not suffer and the family can find some peace and comfort.

It also seems as though our house payment has been lost in the mail. This is SO frustrating! It was mailed 12 days ago and still hasn't posted on our account. We just refinanced in March, so this is only the second payment I've made to this bank. I do not want to have to get on the phone and deal with this. I know it's not a big deal, I can always make another payment and either stop payment on the first, or just have them apply the "second" payment to our principal. We are very fortunate in that the money is in our savings account and this isn't a huge issue...but it is a hassle.

There are a few other odds and ends happening that when added up cause some anxiety, but mostly I'm just trying to turn it over to God and remember that I'm not supposed to sweat the small stuff!
