I am so tired. I am tired of not sleeping. I am tired of smoking. I am tired of this summer. I am tired of the loneliness. I am tired. I want to wake up tomorrow energized for a change. I want to wake up feeling prepared to face the day at hand, instead of feeling like the day already has me beat.
During the school year, I am more in control of myself. I feel like I have a schedule, and I can keep it. During the summer, I feel like I am in the wind, and I don't like it. I prefer the structure of my days. This past school year wasn't easy, but at least I knew what to expect everyday. I knew how my year was going to roll out. I am eagerly awaiting that first day back.
Well, that is just about enough whining for today. I think I will go finish my coffee, and I will take a nap or something.

It's Been Awhile
Well, it has been a long time. I have been working for over three years now in Cleveland and living in Lakewood. I teach 7th grade language arts. I really enjoy working with the kids, and I am also working as the school librarian. My friend and I started the library last year, and it is great. The kids enjoy it, and its a great resource for our teachers.
My little girl turned eighteen last year, and before she did, she decided to move back to Canton to be with her birth mother. It broke my heart, but I couldn't force her to stay. She lives with her boyfriend and his family now. I worry about her a lot, but I know that my family and I did our best for her, and I hope that she remembers everything we taught her, and grows to be the woman I know she can be.
I spent three days in NYC this summer with my friend Sam. We had a great time. We saw the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, the WTC Site, the Empire State's Building, two plays, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and we took a cruise. It was great. We had a blast.
Now I am looking forward to next summer when we are thinking about going to Turkey with my school. We will see. Okay, well, I believe I will be signing off now. I am going to try and keep up with a little better.
