Complaining about something*

Blech*
Oh lovelies, I don’t feel very well. I haven’t felt 100% for the last two days, and I feel all kinds of gross right now. It started Saturday night… when we went to bed I felt fine, but I woke up at 3am feeling awful. I spent about 45 minutes lying on the bathroom floor before I crawled back into bed. I woke up feeling fine on Sunday, and again today. Then out of the blue–BAM. About an hour ago it hit me again and I’ve been curled up on the couch with ginger ale ever since. I had every intention of writing something else tonight but I’m calling it…

Balance*
I don’t know how people do it. Juggle work, errands, housework, church, eating properly, exercise, spending time with your husband, your family–all while trying to squeeze in a little time for yourself so that you don’t go absolutely mad in the process. I feel like I have no time for everything–if my dishes get done, the living room gets neglected. If I spend time on my course, exercise is impossible. If I take the time to make a healthy meal, I forgo something else. I just can’t do everything. And I realize that that’s okay, but I’m not all that okay with it. I hate that I didn’t even have…

The Results*
When I got home from visiting with the fam, there was a message from my doctor waiting for me on my answering machine. No details, just brief message asking me to call the office when I got a chance. I was curious all weekend, even though I knew the message would most likely be something less than good. I mean, really now–how often do doctors call you after an appointment just to tell you how awesome and amazingly healthy you are? When I finally got a hold of her today, I learned that the results from my blood work were in. She was a bit concerned as I have low…

I Survived*
Today I had my first real appointment with my new doctor. I arrived on time, and was whisked into an exam room immediately. A funny, quirky nurse began my physical by asking me a million questions while taking my blood pressure, heart rate and all that fun stuff. I could tell she was cracking jokes to try and ease my nerves, but until I know I’m on my way out of a doctor’s office I’m always a stress case. She left me with a gown to change into, then I hopped up onto the table / bed to wait for my doctor. The waiting is always the worst part. I…

Patience*
Shortly before 4pm yesterday, the principal from the school I interviewed at called me. I knew that I didn’t have the job before he even finished saying hello. He was quick to let me know that I had not been chosen for the job. He then went on to explain why, citing that I hadn’t been detailed or specific enough with my answers. He further explained that while I answered every question “correctly”, I hadn’t used enough personal examples or dropped enough “buzz words”. (Rubrics! Assessment!) He referred to the way I answered his question about how I would handle an angry parent who called in to complain about a…
