One day at a time

I'm amazed how the body can just keep going. Teaching, gym, and biking four days in a row has not killed me yet. I am in awe as I can barely walk. My trainer yelled at me yesterday, well not literally. She kindly chastised me for not eating enough (hello, I've always had that problem) carbs and protein while working out so much.

So in her honor, I ate some cheese, gluten free bread and popcorn. How 'bout them carbs!

Had a meeting this morning with a coworker who the team has been having issues with. Since I'm the team leader (over the teachers who teach 8th grade; yeah it's SUPER fun) I have to express my concerns and desires to the team, and to THE Boss when there are issues with people. Well, there were issues with a certain someone, so I, being the noble and fearless leader, brought it up to the boss. Well, a conversation ensued, yesterday with said individual.

What greeted me this morning, early and during my prep period? The request for a meeting with the Principal and Mr. 'So & So' because Mr. 'So & So' wants to 'clear the air' since he knows he isn't on the 'favorite list' of the team. Everything is fine now, but of course I got emotional.

Stupid me, when I get all fired up and heated, I cry. Yep, the eyes water, my voice quivers and I'm handed a box of Kleenex. Real professional I know. The 33-year-old leader is bawling in the boss' office. Probably best I never became the lawyer I dreamed of in high school. I'd be the only lawyer in the history of lawyers who cried while giving a closing statement.

Stupid hormones, stupid being a girl and stupid need to work out and just work in general.

You can tell I'm tired because my writing is lacking serious wit and serious insight.

Oh well. Maybe I'll go eat some more carbs. At least the trainer will be happy.
