Today the letter of the week for
Is Z.
It's so fitting. the words that come to mind:
Zero - the amount of energy I have right now.
Zany - my life lately.
But mostly...Zapped. As in, that is how I feel.
I am not just physically tired (though I am that) I am emotionally exhausted. My brain hurts.
For now I'm going to chalk this up to the end of the school year - a season much like "the holidays" in which everyone tries to squeeze in one last...whatever...before school ends. It is the culmination of a lot of work from the teachers, and the kids, and the parents, and it is downright overwhelming. There's quite honestly too much to be done each day...
It is showing in the frayed edges of relationships around our home. I've lost my grip on my temper more than I wish. The child is struggling. We are struggling together.
So sorry to end the alphabet on a low note, but I know I'm not the only one.The cool thing is most endings are followed by new beginnings. Z is for zapped and A is for Anticipating.. So hang in there, to all of my fellow zappees.
