Stress

Co-workers? Husband? Son?

All seem like contenders for the tension I've been feeling-- but no, they are not the cause of my stress.

I really think the worst stress is when you're on the periphery of a situation over which you have zero control.

I have a student that has been having a series of health issues. It seems like once the student begins to bounce back, more issues pop up.

The learning is totally not the main focus here. I'm in a twist about this terrific kid actually being able to make it to school and to feel like a normal kid.

There's been enough drama for this kid this year. If you have a spare minute, throw up a prayer for my student. The kid (and for that case, the kid's family), quite frankly, needs it.
