Pearce Pastures: Where did I go?

[bonbean01]

Pearce, it sounds like it is time to take some quiet time for yourself and realize that some things are not in your control...it is humbling, and I don't mean to sound preachy or like a broken record here...but those are the times when I throw up everything in prayer and acknowledge that I need help. When I give it all up to God, things get better...hope things get better for you sweetie...let some of the world just slide off your shoulders

AP...so sorry about your friend

I am so sorry for all your problems. I will definitely keep you in my prayers. I wish we lived closer so we could go have a cup of tea or something. The best I can do is a

Pearce...
A girlfriend of mine has nonstop meetings as well. She hardly has any time to get her real work done. We often joke about it and TRY to get a chuckle or two out of it since that's all that can be done. It's unfortunate your students and family have to suffer for it though. Teachers already put in a lot of unpaid hours! I hope you're able to find a resolution for that issue.
Chin up with the boys. It'll all work itself out. Just continue to love and guide them. It's a lot...all at one time - for sure! Maybe you can use all that extra "meeting time" as your meditation time?! Just zone out and meditate...take a mental vacation while the meeting goes on....?

It really means a lot to have you all as support. Wish you were closer too Ksalvagno---tea sounds good. Sharing it makes me feel a bit less alone in it all and I have been kind of bottling it up. Just need to blow off some steam and refocus. and really, I do need to give it God---boy is that hard to do. I am sure that lots of parents feel like they just have to keep going full speed, and not rely on other people, not family, not friends. I am bad about that.

Yes, I sure hope that the administrator behind all of this nonsense retires or moves along (really, just retire though because no school should have to have this garbage). I should try to use the meeting time for something at least enjoyable or calming. Maybe I can find a good book to slip behind my computer to read---haven't read for fun in awhile.

Still feeling sad about the boys but things will be what they will be and I am just going to have to adapt and keep smiling for them. They are still my little sunshines. I just wish there was a way to change things for them.

Pearce, yes it is hard to give it up and realize that even as a Mom we don't have that kind of control. Your boys are going to be okay...I truly believe that ... have been praying for you and your family

My son is a teacher and he was so happy when one administrator retired...made his job go back to how he enjoyed it again...hope that happens for you too.

We're all here for you Pearce...you know we love you and care about you and your family

Hope you are feeling a little better today Pearce

Sorry Pearce that things seem to be so stressful for you right now. I despise meetings! When I was in a corporate setting we had meetings all the time. Rarely was anything ever accomplished in them. Takes so much time away from more important things that need to be done. I hope the administration figures this out soon.
