Dentist and school

Did I ever tell you that I hate the dentist????? Well I do! I think they must enjoy causing pain. Why would anyone do that job? Must be for the money.
In addition to my new filling, I have discovered today that I have a fracture on my back tooth. YEAH! What can I say===another reason to visit the dentist.
Two days done for the new school year. A lot of students are going to give me a run for the money. I think with the new rules in place, everything will be ok. I hope that my harder edged students will learn ok.
Why would I put these two subjects together? Just a thought.
I think some of my neighbors are biggots disguised as do-gooders. They have close minds and do not want to listen for change. These people are close in age to me. I can't understand why they think the way that they do?

A New Day

I am planning my classes for the new year. I am going to have independent students and I hope these students will have a great work ethic. In the first few days of class, I am going to place this information so carefully into the brains of these students.
I am a little nervous this year with all the changes. I hope that I don't disappoint the powers that be. I am also hoping this year will be a healthy one.
Since mom died, I have not felt like myself. I feel like I continue to disappoint everyone. I feel tired and down every day. What can I do?
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Karl's death. So, I am going to start anew. I have continued to be in mourning for 20 years of my 21 year marriage. I have pushed others away from me and become almost hermit like. This is no way to live. I think that keeping the journal can only help me view what has happened and what can be done in the future.

"Blackness beyond Conception"

I heard this statement during a Discovery show about the astronaut's walk on the moon in 1969. There is something about this quote that has stuck with me. I think maybe it can be a title for a journal or book. I have always wanted to write a book and now with this technology--maybe I can. We will see as my mother always said.
Now it is time to start dinner!
