I've never posted here before, but this doesn't warrant its own thread and this looks like the right place. I'm definitely having a 'day'. I accidentally backed up too far and nearly hit another car getting out of a parking lot, and I got honked at. My mom says I have nothing to worry about but it's scared me witless. Yippee, I'm going back to parking on the very fringes... I'm still shaking.
I think I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. Been all doom and gloom this morning. :s
I'd really like to go home and take a nap and try to reset the day.
Mostly just frustrated with all the decisions I've made in the last couple years that I regret, and wishing I could be free from this damn house.*sigh*

Today seems to be a day for being conflicted lol. I've been regretting a lot of decisions and yet really glad I made others...funny how that works. Mostly just contemplating where I want my life to go and realizing how impossible it is to make that happen
This was on another forum, so I thought I'd try to help out and post this where I can:
Little boy named Noah is in his last stages of a 2 1/2 year battle with neurobastima cancer. He is 5 1/2 years old. The family is celebrating Christmas next week. Noah's wish is to get a lot of Christmas cards.
If you'd like to send him a card his address is (yes, I got permission from the original poster to post this):
I am soooo looking forward to NOT being the chairperson for the pottery show next spring. I've been busy!
My birthday is coming up, and we are gonna go to Goucher to see my baby girl dance and then Thanksgiving is coming and Brian had swine flu, and Joe is unemployed and Cherokee is chewing on cardboard right now but..... I have not had a root canal, sorry Chrissy. Get better soon!
Well, today I had to go to a wedding. I spent a long time talking to a parent...(who was 3 sheets to the wind I might add...) about their son who has Autism. This student is the light, pride and joy in our classroom. He is exactly what our other students could have been with early intervention. I asked her if she has noticed any difference in her child since he has entered our program. She said that he gives affection more often and seems happier. It made us all feel really good. Top the night off she had her son (our student) brought in. I danced with him before I left. It was awesome.
Having the testimony of a parent who sees day in and day out the progress of our work...its just the best of all rewards. Considering this is a kid they never would have been brought to a wedding last year because it would have overwhelmed him; this year he was able to not only come to a wedding but DANCE with us was beyond anything that was expected.

Sometimes I just freaking love my job...
Congratulations on getting to experience the success of doing what you do
I'm still shaking.
