Humor as an avenue...

Today, I did not want to leave school after my last class. I've taken a half day off as my appt. is this afternoon. My normal daily procedure is to come home on my planning hour, eat lunch, and then return to AHS to have lunch duty. I'm always eager to go home on my plan and let my hair down for a few minutes before I return. Today, I didn't want to leave. It's a strange way of avoidance.
When I got home, I happened to see my mother-in-law pull in the driveway. She's in town from Raleigh, North Carolina for her grandaughter's wedding, and will be staying with us for a week. It will be a delightful diversion having her here. I happened to see her just sitting in the car, and figured she was doing some processing. I decided to quickly arm myself with several snow-balls, and started pelting her while she sat in the car in my driveway. I've still got accuracy for a 47 year old middle-aged woman! I smacked the windows with a couple of snow-balls, and it was kinda funny to release like that.... Oh, to have seen the smile on her face.
I've to leave in a bit to go to the Doctor. I truly think I've my mindset prepared for the worst. I think it's a strange way to arm myself for the bad news, but in hopes that I'll be sweetly suprised with some good news somewhere down the road. It's a weird emotion.
Love and Prayers..
