I know I have no right to complain, since I’m employed and love my job, but I’m going to complain a little bit anyway.\u00c2\u00a0 Lately I’ve been hitting one of those low-ebb periods in life, where getting out of bed in the morning seems like a heck of a lot of work.\u00c2\u00a0 I bring a lot of work home with me: preparation for toddler storytimes (I’ve run out of the plans I created last year and am back creating new ones at home to add to my storytime library); preparation for book groups – and last week’s book selection of Tunnels <\/em>by Roderick Gordon and Brian Williams consumed a whole lot of reading time…though I DID love the book; and plenty of errand running, like buying bagels for book group meetings, purchasing felt for storytimes (that I buy with my own money, by the way), and buying a gazillion bags of popcorn and millions of cases of water for movie nights.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

And then there’s the prep for my tutoring, which suddenly has become more involved since Josie graduated from the Wilson Reading System and I need to study up on Latin and Greek roots, prefixes, and suffixes (not something that’s easily crammed, either, let me tell you).<\/p>\n

And then, as I write this on Sunday, I’m listening to some of the neighborhood kids – the loud, ill-behaved ones – SCREAM at each other.\u00c2\u00a0 SCREAM – SCREAM – SCREAM.\u00c2\u00a0 No rest for weary Abby.<\/p>\n

So I’m tired.\u00c2\u00a0 Very tired.\u00c2\u00a0 And uninspired.\u00c2\u00a0 Blah, really.<\/p>\n

I know I’ll get my mojo back, and my enthusiasm, but for right now I’m just tired.\u00c2\u00a0 Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
