pro...crastinator

First of all, I'm becoming the procrastinator I never wanted to be but secretly feared I would. Damn... I guess I could blame my eyes, but that would probably be lame.

So the status> I'm in a good amount of pain. Seems looking at lots of adolescents daily takes a toll, so I'm taking the morning off tomorrow. That makes it 9 1/2 days total so far out of work for all of this eye stuff. I guess I'm cutting into all those pregancy leave days that I should be accumulating =) No, nothing brewing now, just looking ahead. Anyhoo, I think I'll try to take some half-days through April. It seems important. I know that doesn't sound convincing, but it is really a pain to write sub notes, and trust me, I've had to write my share lately. But I've left school the the last three days with pains on my eyeballs as well as a whole temple/cheek area range of headaches. Something tells me that's not so good for the rehab.

Abagail, lucky lovely Abagail gets to leave for Colorado tomorrow with her mom and Dustin. She informed me this morning that she is a little anxious for the plane ride =) I hope she has a lot of fun! Third grade and taking a real spring break... Much better than my week of packing last week when my district was out of school.

So I do have some plans to wax poetic on issues that have been on my mind, but that will come later. I figure it's pretty boring to just talk about the day-- I've just got to take the time. You could read Todd's blog in the meantime. He seems to find more time than me to muddle through some interesting thoughts...

On deck-- why it really bothers me that immigrants have to take menial jobs to support their families when they may have a much larger range of expertise. Then why it bothers me that I may just be making assumptions or feeling bad for people who don't want to be felt bad about. ANd why it really bothers me that returned troops are expected to fit right back into society when they have experienced a part of life that we have no grasp of.

abbey liked the plane ride for the most part, but the landing process gave her an earache -- "mom, it feels like i have an ear infection" -- not good, but it showed her that, even if she HATES gum, she might need to chew it for the return flight home.
