Sometimes...

Sometimes you get tired. And a little cranky. And you feel overwhelmed. And you think that if one more person sends you a nasty and negative political e-mail you might shoot yourself. Work is exhausting. LIFE is exhausting.

You know that feeling? Here's the antidote:

Hi, Mom!

I was just missing you and thought I'd say hello. I'm feeling much much much better than I was-- yay for Nyquil and cough drops! I think we've managed to save L****** (at least for a while) from being sick, so that's good news. Two of the girls in our hall have mono, though, which is... icky. How's your day been going? I worked with the kids at Wonder Workshop this morning; they're so much fun. I think I just might love my job, which is basically amazing after my SUPERB summer at Tower. Anything happening in KC?

Miss you! Love you!
<3 K***


I feel better, do you? My big ass grant was submitted today, one more (small one) to go, sister tomorrow, but awards coming too. Bye....

A much-needed shot in the arm, I'd say.

I just love things like that!

Well that even made ME feel better.

Good luck on your grants. Mine big ass grant just got approved by upper administration, so now I actually get to submit. And if it gets approved by the Foundation? Why, then I get to write a 20 page version! Woo hoo!

Sometimes they come through at just the perfect time. Don't let the politcal emails bother you. I was just thinking how lovely it was that on your blog you pointed out the positives of whatever the election outcome whereas the only blog entry I could come up with would describe how I would secede from the female gender if women were actually the reason that McCain/Palin were to be elected. Congrats on making it through the grant app, but more importantly, did #2 find a homecoming dress?

And thanks for being my lone reader!!! I appreciate it!
