Stress-less

My long weekend was certainly nice, and I am happy to report it's not killing me to be back to reality. I must say I caught a break, as we started our state standardized testing today and my schedule was a breeze, so I got a chance to ease back into the routine. So many Mondays or (Tuesdays) I can't wait to get out and get home, I'm practically counting minutes until my contractual obligation is done. (We need to remain 1/2 hour past the school day.) Today I was good. I worked for an hour or so after the last bell, then came home and did my exercise DVD. Now I'm watching Food Network and debating if I should just have a Boca burger or make some sort of shrimp and broccoli dish (I have both available). Leftover pizza (which came out excellent!) is also an option. That is, I have a stress free night at hand, especially since W is in a good way today.

It makes a difference when W is in a good mood, as he is today, which makes me happy too. He has a lead on a job at Tuft's Medical Center so it takes the edge off. Cross your fingers that it comes through...I'm not sure I can take the roller coaster ride much longer. I never know where he is going to be in the ride, and I worry about him. I feel like it should be his time; he's had enough leads that have gone nowhere and he's due for something to work out. Yet my friend K came to me today and told me her husband was laid off on Friday. It's just awful out there, but I don't want to give up hope. Speaking of hope....

I wonder how you are doing. Are you and J still GWAGA? Is M still at S's? Did you make the calls you were going to?...or are you hanging out listening to the Jonas Brothers, 'cause you know that would be okay, too...

Love you,
B
