November 6

Ugh!  It feels like I just left this place.  Oh yeah, I did.  It was a late night last night, because we had a Pemberton Staff Meeting.  At least it was held in my building, so I didn’t have to go anywhere.  Still, it’s hard being at school all day and then having to stay for a nerve-wracking meeting at 6:00.  By the time I got home, I had missed dinner and spending some time with my children.  It was just time for them to go to bed.  At least I got to tuck them in and read with them a little bit.  Afterward, I was so tired I just wanted to crawl into bed.  Before I knew it, it was morning and time to head back to school.  As I said before, “Ugh!”

Despite the trepidation I had at spending any time in Beverly’s company, the evening was not without its entertainment, though.  Crystal made a BIG announcement: she and her husband are expecting a baby next spring.  It’s the first and only time I’ve seen Crystal happy, genuinely happy.  She was beaming.  I’m happy for her.
