I have recently started back to work, teaching, and am adjusting to life as a busy person again... Today I came home and was really angry, I am feeling short with my kids and just want to yell or kick something! I journaled for a bit, didn't help too much... I think work today kind of triggered this for me, I let some things get to me that I don't normally let get to me. Mostly about the student's behavior, which I normally know isn't my issue... But today I took it personally as if it's about me, and once that thought went into feeling it was a done deal. Now I'm just dealing with the aftereffects of that and trying to process it so I can move on.

On a good note, I have told my boys (13 and 10, and who I am home alone with tonight) that I am in a bad mood and that it is not their fault. We are kind of all giving each other some space right now and I think I will start to calm down soon. I'm trying...

Thanks for listening, I guess I just needed to put my feelings out there.
