It seems to me that a journal is meant to be a means of reasoning things out with myself. How I express myself in it is totally up to me. Sometimes I have to battle some pretty ferocious demons until I get to the truth. And there is more than one truth- it is relative to the situation.

I pray that my evaluation with the principal goes okay today. It was hard to write a unit and lesson plan for this particular group. I've never had students this low before. I'm grateful to get the opportunity for the principal to see us in action behind us. That kind of puts it in a whole new perspective. If I flub I'll learn from my mistakes. If I do okay, I'll know exactly what she is looking for.

I'm also grateful that I do not have to stay with the last group of children during bus duty today. I've got errands to do after school before I go to RCIA class. Some are gravely important.

The cats and I are down to next to nothing. We're not at rock bottom but we're pretty doggone close. Thankfully pay day isn't so far away. I saw far worse over the summer.

The principal was impressed with us. Once again I've had an administrator tell me that I am earning stars for my crown in heaven. Big eye roll on that one. I do not believe that I am earning anything. I am called to do this job and I do it.

Mom and I are going grocery shopping tomorrow. We each are in need of a few things. I'll be doing laundry at her house.

The deacon says I am on track with my studies in the RCIA class. We've talked about a lot of things today. I really enjoy talking about the things that bug me as they come up. It helps to get them out in the open before I become obsessed with analyzing them or they fester. He told me of a good bible concordance to get and even a better Catholic Bible to obtain. I, in turn, told him of a Christian bookstore that is closer than the one he's been going to. I will need to make a trip up to Yahweh's Garden soon, maybe on the 18th when I take off to finally get Mom's furniture moved.
