Daily Difference

What is the difference between me and all those other teachers who can get ready for a sub in an hour or less? I was at school until almost 5:30 on Friday and then spent another three or four hours getting ready for my sub today and when I got home I still had to email a friend of mine at school because I forgot something...what is the difference?

What is the difference between a life not obsessing about a clean house and a living room I'd be comfortable inviting people into? In my quest to get ready for my sub my living room is still a pig sty...and my poor sick husband will be recovering in a mess.

So...tomorrow is Sean's surgery. It'll be a good day...I'm glad he'll finally be pain free of his gall bladder. I asked him today if he could remember what it even felt like before this chronic pain. I was counting it out today and he's been feeling this way for about a month now.

On my way home from school tonight (notice the darkness outside) I stopped at the recycle center to make a *difference*. At my old school we actively collected recycling. At my new school we don't...but I still do. So, I had to drop off my recycling...it had accumulated to a big bag full so it was definitely time :-)
