4 letter words rule my life these days...

As I sit here at 8:30 in the evening, it is still light outside and a couple of ball games are still going on right next door. How come I am truly ready for bed. and feel so guilty about that desire! As I am sitting on the edge of guilt, I am struck by how 4 letter words are ruling my life these days...
Here are some examples:
CRCT- it starts next week and I think I will lose my mind before it is over with!!
MEET- I hear this word on a daily basis these days...meetings to discuss students, meetings to discuss lesson plans, meetings to discuss the above word CRCT!
WORK- Housework, homework for online class, homework for regular school,--Somedays, it's just really hard to be single, have a job and other responsibilities and no one to talk to or help share the burdens that can be almost overwhelming at times. When I manage to "get it all together" however, it WORKS like a well-oiled machine. :-)
FOOD-I am upset with myself because it seems like I hungry all the time these days and it is so depressing.
HOME-how I love to come home at the end of my day-no matter what kind of day it has been.
PETS-I love the companionship of my Lacey and Skye. They are actually almost becoming friends these days.
KIDS- My own natural born youngins and my 82 "adopted" ones for this year. I also enjoy weeks like this one when I have been visited by about 8 of my former students!
TIME- how it is flying by...sometimes that is good, but it is hard to keep up with it sometimes.

Speaking of which. it is time to conquer my guilt and tell ya'll- I'm gonna go to bed!

At least pain is not one of your four letter words. One thing about the location of your house; it is right near the center of a lot of action if you get bored.

Nance, I guess I didn't mention it because I just have so much pain these days that it is a part of me. I have learned to live with the physical pain for years. Now, it is time for me to learn to live with the emotional pain.
