today I am the co-oping parent at my son’s pre-school. My husband usually takes this job, but he has been coughing a lot lately, and we thought it best he didn’t act like he was spreading germs.

I dread today. My nerves don’t tolerate well with 14 3-year-olds at my knees, jumping, yelling, and excitedly hopping about. I don’t have patience for the same thing repeated to me 10 times in a little toddler English. And after a tough day yesterday physically battling temper tantrums, overtired toddlers, and bad-weather, today I just plain don’t have the energy, and I am crampy.

I will survive. My quieter table of sewing and stitching will wait for me at home. I hope my husband feels better soon, and I hope to get out of this grumpy mood pronto.
