It’s been a very weird week.<\/p>\n
First, I understand why the hurricane efforts have been slow. I had the same mindset.<\/p>\n
My family, mother and sister, live in Jackson, Mississippi. I went to work on Monday, with no idea they were going to have any problems at all, other than getting some badly needed rain.<\/p>\n
Got home Monday, tried to call and the circuits were down.<\/p>\n
Well, they spent the day with someone with a generator and portable A\/C unit. They are fine, the houses are all fine, but they were without power on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
I think the whole rest of the US, went to work the same way on Monday, not thinking things would be bad.<\/p>\n
As to the rest of the week, we had “Meet the Teacher” night on Tuesday, which made for a very long day. I met quite a few parents. Most of which don’t speak English. Next parent night, we get me a translator for the evening.<\/p>\n
There was a fight outside my room on Tuesday — my kids. My kids keep wandering off from where they are supposed to be and I keep having to intervene. Friday, their 5th period teacher disappeared, and I still don’t know what was up with that.<\/p>\n
I am mostly just tired. I have been losing weight but have slowed that effort down on purpose. I don’t want to put my body in starvation mode. However, I started exercising again yesterday. I have been making a major effort in caring for myself this week — got a massage on Wednesday, a pedicure on Friday evening and this afternoon, I’m going to get something done with my hair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
