Word of the Day: FRAZZLED

It's been a rougher past few weeks than I had thought, I guess.

Took the Kaimuki kids to a conference today, and all I have to say is that I am exhausted. And a little disturbed.

I was simply exhausted after a day of watching over and helping the kids through a day of speakers and various activities, so after treating the kids to McDonalds and walking home in drizzle, suffice it to say the only I wanted to do was SLEEP. So that's what I did. I put on my sleep-time CD (Kobukuro's Greatest), turned off the lights, and peaced out.

But I woke up realizing I had just had the weirdest dream - a nightmare of sorts.

Get this: I had to pretend I was unconscious or half-dead for 8 days to circumvent a group of people who would otherwise try and kill my family. And after the 8 days, when it was time to come to life, they made the life threat on my family anyway. So I can't tell if I ended up better off or not.

I woke up realizing it wasn't the middle of the night, and that it was 7:05 pm. Needless to say, that "nap" felt like a 10 hour full night's sleep. Heavy, and my body feels so strange. It's like, I'm awake but not really. Almost still dreaming. That kind of trippy grogginess.

Nothing makes sense right now. Maybe there was some drug-ness going on in those two filet o fish sandwiches I had....

Hopefully a night in alone will remedy that tonight. Perhaps some episodes of the Wire will wake me up. Will tell you after another season or so whether it's worth watching.

Speaking of my students, they totally get along now. But I am SO drained after each day with them. I don't remember it being this tiring last semester - or maybe I was but my memory made it seem less so.

Everything has been busy lately, and it's only gonna get busier. Higher powers, help meeeee
