SAD...

I woke up this morning after 1:00 am because I had a horrible dream....one of those that are just soooo real that you can't go back to sleep.  It. Was. That. Bad.  It was so bad that it made me wish that my husband wasn't a cop.  So bad that I immediately sent him a text (knowing that I might wake him) telling him how much I love him and how happy I am to be where we are in life.

I finally fell back asleep around 4:30 am and was so tired when my alarm sounded at 6:00.  I knew then that it was going to be a long day.  I was at one of my high schools before 8:00 and spent the entire day presenting an Oklahoma Promise workshop to over 270 9th and 10th graders.  I didn't leave town until 3:00 pm and made it back to D town in time to read a few scholarships and prepare for seeing my students off to a student leadership conference. 

I finally made it home a little after 5 and must admit that I was so tired that I let the kids play the wii while I catnapped for 30 minutes....I need my mommy card revoked.  Once I woke up I decided that I would check facebook (yeah, I'm that addicted) and noticed a post from a former TRIO professional  that led me to believe that  a TRIO program in Oklahoma had been lost.  It is always sad when this happens....students that need services will no longer be able to receive the support and guidance that they need and deserve, coworkers have to leave jobs that they believe in and have invested so much blood, sweat, tears and time.  The saddest part for me is that these are people that I care about and I know that they are the kind of professionals that do the job for the all of the right reasons....and it makes me sad because there are students who depended on their guidance, but I'm just SAD because they are people that I LOVE. 

I am just soooo SAD.
