This day is moving very slowly

All week I've been working in a math class.  I felt that the days moved quickly, although I couldn't specifically say why.  I just know that I don't remember feeling as though the days were dragging.

Today, however, is an entirely different story.  We still have two hours left in this day, and it feels as though it has really, really crawled today.  I usually really enjoy being in this class, but it has had some minor challenges today.  I'm also really tired from a busy week, and I'm sure that doesn't help.

I've also been doing a lot of praying for my kids today.  Thomas mentioned that he isn't sure who he is going to be able to room with on his D.C. trip coming up in May because no one wants to room with him.  He seemed okay with it at the time, but it absolutely broke my heart.  I try to remember to pray for each of my kids in what he/she might need each day, but that added to it.

And then I came to school today and have overheard so many conversations.  As a parent, they kind of scare me to my core.  Some of the things I'm overhearing about teens seem so dramatic, and some of the things just seem so mean.  More and more prayers.

I am hoping to be able to take a nap...and maybe even be off tomorrow!
