Off my game...

I don't know what's going on this week. Maybe it's the suppressed emotions from it being the 10th anniversary of my father's death. Maybe it's senioritis. Maybe it's the fact that I hate my job. I suppose it's most-likely a combination of the three. My kids are on break from school this week, so Rich is babysitting while I'm at student teaching and classes, but today I'm taking a personal day. I've been at Starbucks all morning, trying to catch up on schoolwork. I don't know how I got so far behind. I was ahead with straight A's and the love of all my professors a week ago. The morning has been pretty nice so far- the smell of coffee, jazz playing in the background, eavesdropping on conversations... Definitely needed it today. Some other things I need:

I need good weather.

I need Nantucket sand between my toes.

I need all my loves to be in one place again.

I need to close this chapter of my life so I can settle into a new one.

I need to see my mama llama.
