this is what happens when i get time off…lol
so i have still been on vacation mode (just ask bossman) all week despite the fact that i’ve been at the day job late everyday this week and worked monday and thursday nights. i did have a purrfect tuesday evening…thank u. and a really kewl wednesday evening.

yet, despite the good times i’ve been having i’ve been going back and forth between happy and sad…now there are definitely things going on in the day job to get me sad (one student arrested and one jumped- within a few days of each other) and i’m stressed over the conference next week but these are things that i know in the end i have no control over. the conference is coming along better than i expected and all i can do is be a support to my students.

still there is a part of me that is sad. and i feel as if it is deeper than just the stuff at work. it makes no sense because my life is good right now. really i have nothing to complain about and who knows, maybe that is why i’m sad. i know that this good time can come to an end suddenly but it’s not like me to get hung up in that anymore.

maybe i just have too much free time or maybe i’m just using my charmed one powers of empathy and tapping into the sadness of those around me. who knows but until i can afford that maid i need to get back to cleaning…

til next time…besos baby…

A rose in concrete…
So I was getting ready to leave work after a day of attempting to keep my eyes open with only 45 minutes of sleep. I had asked my staff to check in on a student who hasn’t been around for a few days. As I was about to walk out the door a member of my staff got off the phone with disturbing news. We ended up having a 30 minute discussion & I am heartbroken as is the rest of my staff.

Why is it that so many of our people trying to handle their business get caught up handling their business??? If you don’t get what I mean then it doesn’t concern you. There are so many roses growing in concrete just like there are so many trees growing in brooklyn. Unfortunately, there are people that are looking to harm the growth that is possible with the beauties of nature…the pesticides are everywhere & sometimes the growing plants will be exterminated but the strongest will survive…we might be a lil hurt but at the end of the day we will continue to stand tall & strong…
I know my rose is gonna be ok because he has too much support not to be…

Til next time…besos baby
