this is my actual life.

today was in-service training day. a day with no children, but lots of seminars. mostly boring seminars.

the lecturer for one of them called herself "dr. feel good."

yes. dr. feel good.

and she made us pat ourselves on the back for being good listeners when she was done. "i want you to take your right hand, reach over your left shoulder, and give yourself a pat on the back!"

there was one good seminar where we got to spend an hour making crafts. i used glitter. markers. construction paper. i turned paper sacks into so many different magical things. fish. palm trees. bears. i'm still a little amazed with myself, if i'm allowed to say so.

this is my actual life. sometimes i feel like i'm observing it from the corner of the room, because it's too strange to be real.
