sisyphean

  • parent-teacher conferences
  • forms, endless, endless forms to fill out
  • take kids to get blood/urine samples for their physicals (which happened over a month ago)
  • bobby home sick two days
  • stella half day tuesday
  • both kids off thursday for veteran's day
  • keeping up the household
  • WORK: five classes. five billion ungraded written assignments. forgetting things, things slipping through my fingers. the threat of student evaluations. insane and slippery paperwork for four guest speakers' honoraria.
  • a bunch of other stuff i probably forgot.
  • oh, and grief slapping one upside the head, randomly. "part of the process"

Breathe! And write a list. That's what I do. Written. Down. So I can keep the list at hand and forget the details and keep some space for myself.

Of course you can do it!

i surrender to you my striving
i let go of all need to effort or to struggle
i relax deep into things exactly as they are
i accept life that it might move through me with grace.

Amy! Although I recently found your blog, I find it/you very inspiring! I'm only eighteen but my dream is to begin a writing career. Do you have any advice : )? Thanks!
