Deep Breathing

So anyone who knows me well, knows that this year has driven me crazy to the point of medication. That's ok, I guess that's what being in charge of 34 crazy 7 year olds on a daily basis will do to you:) With only 6 weeks left until most of my stress diminishes, I decided to discuss this with my doctor. Since the medicine I've been taking has caused a continual and mildly severe rash on my neck(which my students refer to as "my bumps") and has diminished almost all excitement that one could possibly have, I have decided to quit and hope for the best. The good news, I'm not clinically depressed afterall, I'm "over-worked and under-rested" as my doctor put it. The new prescription for this is 15 minutes of relaxed breathing and 15 minutes of aerobic exercise daily. I'm pretty excited about the fact that she didn't push another drug on me. I'm hopeful that this will help bring the calm that I need into my life and I'm optimistic it will get me through these last 6 weeks.

With this said, I'm off for a bike ride followed by a calming bath...
