I think when you wake up on a Monday morning to news of what will turn out to be the largest massacre in modern American history, it's no surprise that it's a tough week overall. Today I subbed in three different English classes. I enjoyed the day overall, but it meant that I had to watch the end of Of Mice and Men three times. Honestly, it put a pit in my stomach this morning. And of course, it was a week with very little sleep. I'm grateful we are at the weekend, but honestly, it is bringing up some other tough emotions.
This weekend is Homecoming at school. The kids at school are all excited about their plans...their dinner and the dance, and for some parties that are afterward. Catherine is attending the dance with a friend, but they are only going to the dance. Robert is not attending at all. It's a little heartbreaking to witness my kids being so socially awkward. I know in the long run they are okay, but for right now, it's just been a tough emotional week. No matter what though, we have each other!
