I don’t have much time to write tonight, since I am in the middle of an incredibly-busy week! Tonight was a late Executive Committee meeting of the PTHEA. Tomorrow is a Morris Area Math Alliance steering committee meeting, followed by Eighth Grade Parents’ Orientation. Friday is an Asian Club dance. I can barely keep my head above water with all my work this week, and the stress is incredible! No wonder my back went out last Friday and I am in pain this week as well.

It does not surprise me at all that my chiropractor told me the most common occupation among her patients is teachers. A study a few years ago showed teaching as the second most stressful job in the country, after air traffic controllers! And business people have the nerve to complain about teachers having summers off!
