How nice to check back on my thread, and to see all your wonderful responses. THANK YOU!!

They gave us these really tough assignments this week, and then took away a day to get the work done.

I've been stressed all week, b/c the two classes I have been assigned to teach at my current employer start in two weeks.

I had two pre-school appointments, dentist and stopped at optometrist to get a new pair of glasses (of course these appointments were out-of-town -- I don't have a lot of resources in town).

Then I haven't volunteered to do any volunteer work since we moved here (5-1/2 years ago), b/c I have been trying to rebuild my life, and start a new career, teaching. Well last month I learned they needed a new church to distribute Angel Food here. I told the person at a local agency here, who administers the taking orders part, I would work to find a new church to takeover the ordering and food distribution part. This has turned into no small task.

Anyway with only two days left for the course, the only day the lady who has been doing this can meet with me is tomorrow.

Sabby, you're right I need another break -- I have taken several already.

Next week I only have a three-hour faculty meeting (two hours from home, one-way), a hair appointment in town, and an appointment with my foot doctor (also approx. two hours away, one-way). Sigh...

Maybe I will actually have less to do in two weeks when school starts!
