Life Sucks, But...

Sucks:

-Grace has a cold and is whiny. Todd doesn't feel well and has had a really rough week. Nobody's very happy right now.

-Our neighbor is a cold-hearted bitch. Yeah, I said it.

-My coffee pot stopped working yesterday morning. I freaked out a little. I had to go to Kwik Trip before work and buy a big cup of pesticides among the other people buying coffee and donuts and crap.

-There is a lot of snow and it's cold.

-Christmas. Enough said.

-Short on money.

-For some reason, moths have taken over my food supply. I just threw out a shitload of food, including a baggie full of raw organic almonds and some vital wheat gluten, because it was full of moths or wiggling larva. Oh, yeah. They were wiggling. I don't know where the fuck these things came from but I'm pissed. And grossed out.

-Too much to do. Don't really care.

-My boys in English 12 are failing. That makes me feel like I have failed.

BUT...

-I shared my super-secret awesome band with my bff at school. Listening to them right now.

-I had a great idea for my book the other day and am planning on actually writing it down today.

-My loving husband bought me a new coffee pot last night.

-Last night inspiration for a poem came into my head while I was lying in bed. I need to write that down as well.

-Yesterday my students told me, "You're the only teacher we can talk to." I really don't give a shit if my co-workers talk behind my back about how I do things, if they say that I am too friendly with the kids, if they think I help them too much, whatever they think.

-Feeling strangely elated for the first time in months.

-Did I mention my own food column?
