I have the kids journaling so Im taking a couple minutes to journal. It's been a bit of a testy week. Disciplinary issues with the teens and preteens. Also on Monday the parking tickets my family had somehow got mixed up and after unnecessarily walking a few blocks in the wrong direction in Philly, I got to the right parking garage only to find that the total cost for parking the car for the weekend was 350 dollars. Oops. Anyhoo, it got straightened out later in the day but we had to get going cause I had to teach the kids in the late afternoon. My dad had a minor heart procedure done today to check if his heart is ok and thankfully everything is just fine. When I get nervous, I breathe deeply over and over again. That is how I keep my anxiety in check. I also remind myself that I'm watched over and everything happens for a reason and when it needs to happen. 3rd and 4th graders up next. #cannot wait for the weekend.
