Today sucked. I woke up feeling rotten, all stuffed up and sneezing and all that. The kids at school were more obnoxious than usual. It was like everyone in the entire school picked up on the fact that I was irritable and not feeling well, because people went out of their way to annoy me today. Or maybe it was just my raw nerves. They made as much noise as they could with everything they did. They swore and talked about disgusting, inappropriate things so I had to scold them constantly. They wouldn't stop talking and take their government test! By the end of the day I was exhausted, crabby and had a bad headache. My jaw has also started hurting badly again. I went to the last class (English) and the kids there were particularly squirrelly. They always are, but today was really bad. I had to help a kid do his grammar assignment on prepositional phrases (my favorite kind of phrases) and he was goofing off with some other kids that wouldn't go away. The teacher wasn't doing anything to help the situation either. Then somebody knocked over a big water bottle, and a bunch of kids were walking in the water, then making loud squeaking noises with their shoes on the floor. That was it for me. I got up and walked out.
At home I took some ibuprofen and sat in the recliner with a blanket. Grace was sleeping, and all was quiet, so I fell asleep. I kept trying to get up but I was so tired. I finally made myself get up at 6:45 and make some supper. With Grace standing in her chair "helping" me, I made my third attempt at quinoa with black beans. After burning it twice (yes, twice), I finally succeeded, and it was heavenly. I ate it with a side of steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Finally something went right today!
Weird side note: I opened up a can of black beans, and what did I find? Cranberry sauce. Oh, yeah. Very strange.
Tomorrow is going to be better.
