I'm Free! Maybe...

You know those days where you can't say anything right? I mean, everything you say comes across with a tone and possibly a scowl? Your temper is short and your emotions sensitive? Well, I had four of those days in a row this past Friday through Monday - the main reason I haven't posted since Thursday. :) I literally couldn't get anything out without regretting that I said it immediately afterward! An example? Sure, I'll give you an example: I was taking a nap on Saturday afternoon before Jacinda had some girls over for a girls' night. Jacinda woke me up during a nap saying, "honey, some of the girls are here early to make a cake..." My response? "IS THAT WHY YOU WOKE ME UP?!" It turns out that the only reason she was waking me up was so that I wouldn't walk into the living room in my underwear! Seriously, I was ridiculous. If I snapped your head off, I apologize.

Well, today it was gone! I had patience and grace and felt so comfortable in conversations. I also taught a 3rd grade class today ... for 6 hours. I'm so impressed with teachers. I have no clue how they talk that much! So now that I feel gracious and patient in my responses again, my voice is hoarse and I sound harsh even if I were to say the kindest things. I'm at a loss. If I bite your head off in the next few days, please accept my apology in advance. Even if I am angry, I'll blame it on my voice!
