Fall Funk and a Moment

The fall funk is still in full swing here at Casa de Bucko.  It seems like we are still living for the weekends and just trying to survive Monday through Friday.  Bucko has put some new things in place that seem to be helping, but more on that later.  

Lately, I've been feeling pretty beaten down.  Work has been and still is crazy.  I had meetings after school everyday this week.  Today I was holding two club meetings at the same time.  It's been nuts.  I want to take steps back, but I still find it hard when my kids need me.  What can I say? I'm a work in progress.

But, today was a good day.  Today, I had one of those moments where suddenly it all made sense.  I helped a child today.  I can't really go into more detail than that, but tonight I sit here knowing that at least one kid's world is better, because I was there.  You can't beat that.

    Love those moments when questions like "is it worth it?" and "does it matter?" are answered and then some:)

    That is wonderful news about the child you helped!

    Hopefully you will feel less "beaten down" soon. Life does tend to get crazy busy at times.

    MORE ON THAT LATER????? sheeesh woman!

    Happy you hit a high spot with your student, to remind you why, and that you aren't 'merely' existing from Monday to Friday. Life gets in the way, but there is good to be had in that 'life' too. You'll find a balance, but you won't if you let the funk take over!
    love

      I know, somebody keeps telling me not to disappear. I should probably listen to this wise woman. :) She must be really smart.

      Love ya,
