I feel like today has just kind of been one emotional blow after another. First, I can't go into details, but a friend of the family has been experiencing some personal issues that, well I just can't say, but please understand it's just awful and heart wrenching. In addition, it's the two year anniversary of the passing of our friend's six month old. Even now, two years later, it still brings a kick-in-the-gut-take-your-breath-away-sick kind of feeling. My thoughts and prayers have been with them all day. There has been a school shooting in Charon, OH. This is absolutely nowhere near us, but as someone who's entire family pretty much spends their entire days in school, it's another sickening feeling. On a much lesser emotional level, the school hasn't been able to get my paycheck correct (AGAIN) and JC is having a miserable time in math and I am struggling in how to help her. I've gone through all my sure fire visuals and help and it still doesn't seem to be getting through. JR is running a fever (AGAIN) and I'm getting concerned. HT is having trouble behaving in school, and I'm getting frustrated that I've emailed teachers and the principal regarding some policies involving JR and JC and not only can I not get an answer, I can't even seem to get an answer about who to contact to get the answer. It's just a very frustrating feeling.
On the upside though, today was an absolutely gorgeous day outside. It was bright and sunny, and I think it got up to the mid 50's. Absolutely pristine for a February day in Ohio. I've kind of resigned myself to the fact that this winter wasn't really much of a winter, and as much as I love a good winter snow storm there just isn't going to be one. In that case, I hope that we have some beautiful spring days coming around before too long. In the meantime, I'm able to be at home, warm and safe, with the people I love the most.
