Today I have the focus of a gnat

I don’t know what it is about today, but my focus is nonexistent.

I could just blame it on the weather. Here in Nebraska we experienced a 70 degree day yesterday for the first time in six months. One of my colleagues commented, “Why do we live here again?”

It’s definitely not for the weather, my friend.

Continuing on with the weather thread, it’s going to be springlike through Friday and then Saturday is potentially this:

Seriously, 35 degrees for a high and snow. Mind you, I don’t think it’s going to be a lot of snow. But really, 70 one day and two days later 35. Not cool.

It’s exciting and stressful. We’ve lived in this home for 10 years. We will be leaving neighbors we love. In fact, we accused them of casting a spell on our house. We’ve had nine showings in less than two weeks with great feedback but no offers.

My husband and I are doing our best to not think about it, but it’s kind of hard not to analyze and wonder what else we can do to make our home even more charming than it already is.

I’m also doing an internal battle with myself on developing the habit of publishing a piece of writing daily. I don’t have a consistent time that I write. It’s easier said than done. I sit down to write at my desk and then I look around and think about what chores I could or should be doing around the house.

Yes, I could go to a coffee shop, but I also like hanging out with my husband in the evening.

I question whether what I have to say is worthy of being put into print or if I’m simply being a rambling idiot. Much like I’m doing at this moment.

And then I think about the students I will be leaving at the end of this school year. I will be leaving the ranks of elementary school counseling to work as a high school counselor in a different school district.

I wonder what I can do to make a positive impact on my kiddos in the last 28 school days we have together. I question whether I should tell them I’m leaving. For some, it’s yet another adult in their lives who is ditching them. Maybe I shouldn’t look at it that way, but I do.

But then I know how resilient kids are and they will have another amazing school counselor who will show them the love, compassion, and care they deserve. I know in my heart they will be just fine.

No one is irreplaceable.

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go hang out with kindergartners. That’s about my speed right now. :)
