Rather a long and odd week

Still sick, but I suppose I'm somewhat better.  My symptoms got weird, so I was badgered into going to the doctor again.  Of course all my regular folk were not available, so I had to take luck of the draw.  What a lame waste of time that was!  So, yeah.  I'll come back in if I get worse.  Thanks for that.

This week has just seemed endless.  It's been a series of strange and difficult occurrences, mixed in with the occasional bit of joy.  Anna got her feelings hurt.  I got my feelings hurt.  Mark got his feelings hurt.  I guess it's a week where our family has felt a bit like pinatas.  We've all struggled with various and sundry sicknesses.  For the first time in I can't remember how long, we didn't get all our school work done this week. 

That was a tough pill for me to swallow.  I pride myself on really being on the ball with school.  But between sickness, a pseudo-holiday, and just life stuff, we didn't get it all done.  For me, like I said, that's a wow scenario.  But, I realized (and was affirmed by my husband), regular school teachers have that happen pretty much every week, so I should let up on myself.  Yeah, sure.  I can do that.

Maybe.

I donno.  Giving up, or letting myself off the hook just doesn't come easily to me.  Maybe it's because of my health, I feel like if I give any ground, I'll fail.  I am learning to loosen up a little bit.  A little.  So, anyway.  I'm rambling.  Thankfully, we have a rare weekend where we can relax at home.  Yeah, there's stuff to do, but I can take it at a leisurely pace.  Unless I get sicker.  Then I have to go back to the doctor.  I'll get right on that.
