A Long Night

How many months ago was my last post? I mentioned that it was 40-something degrees outside at the time and then I went to bed. I've been asleep for months in blog-time. I've been working 4 jobs for the entire school year, working 7 day weeks on end during this spring semester and giving much of my attention to other people's children or planning and prepping for classes in which I do just that for hours. These days my mind goes blank unpredictably and all I want to do is sit in the park and stare at the trees, grass, water, birds, butterflies and any other distractions that arise. I am teacher, hear me crumble.
