I have always tried to approach each day with a full heart, but today, my heart is completely broken and empty. No matter how hard I try, I cannot find a way to comprehend what is happening in our nation - once again.
I have learned that my voice is hopeless in all of this. To live hopeless and heartbroken is a waste, but it's also the reality of every student and teacher in our schools.
Hopeless and heartbroken - a portrait of American education.
Finally home after a long day at school, I walked in through my front door and was greeted with an absolutely disturbing stench. "Oh my gosh! What the expletive could that be?" I sniffed around the house, trying to find the source - nearly gagging the entire time. What could it possibly be? I round the corner to my living room, and there sits my dog. Looking guilty as ever. And next to her sits my unopened bottle of Repels All . In case you don't know what Repels Al l is, it is used outdoors, after it is diluted, on garden plants, veggies, fruits, flowers, shrubs and trees. The primary use of Repels All is a repellant or deterrant for basically any type of animal. The label says it "repels squirrels, deer, rabbits, chipmunks, mice, skunks, rats, beavers, raccoons, porcupines, birds, groundhogs and even more pests!" Notice, it does NOT say dogs. And it most definitely did not deter my dog. I guess I should be thankful, because Repels All ...
I feel exactly the same way. Utterly hopeless and deeply heartbroken.
ReplyDeleteI find myself speechless time and time again because no one wants to hear the only solution that will make a difference.
