Yesterday was a weird day.  It turns out, it was weird for everyone in my family.  Well, immediate family.  My son somehow got sent to the principal's office, they said because he threatened 2 other students, but I'm not sure if that's really how it happened.  He's such a smart and sweet kid, and always feeling bad if he does something wrong, it was strange to hear he had done this.  It might have been a horrible misunderstanding.  Then my mood was weird, just pessimistic and dreary, more so than usual.  My husband and I had watched Changeling the night before, the movie directed by Clint Eastwood that Angelina Jolie got rave reviews for.  It was such a disturbing and frustrating film, it stuck with me up until morning, and then throughout the day.  I kept thinking how difficult some things are to change, and how little some people seem to care.  There is such a complacency about society, that few people act together to make things better.  It hurts me sometimes when I think about that.  How I know such horrible things are going on right now, that no one does anything about.  That feeling lingered yesterday.

But so far today is better, I can safely say now that it's almost over.  Doing laundry, my son is back to normal, and we'll see how the evening goes.  So just hang in there, if anyone's reading this.  I know I have very mercurial moods lately, but it's a difficult time for us.  We're working through it.
