Well, I was suppose to do RSP but they were short subs at Grimes today so they made me do Mrs. Buetos class first grade. I haven't really been wanting to do first grade these days unless I have to. The day started okay, but it got noisier and harder to control as the day progressed. The hardest and most anxiety ridden part of the day was when we were about to leave for the end of the day, and I let all the kids in a line go outside. One girl forgot something and I had to stay back. Well, the whole class decided to go without my permission to the gate outside. By the time I got back, the other first grade teacher was boggled down with her students and my students as well. Well, that got me feeling really anxious and it was hard to be present in the moment, and especially when I had to write down a note about what happened and when I left in my car for home. I was still a bit anxious when I got home so I went to lie down for a bit. When Mom came upstairs to tell me some news, I was doing fine.
Sister Knudsen reached out to mom in text today about Braden. He's been honorably discharged from missionary service and diagnosed with depression. He's home now in New York with Pres. and Sister Knudsen. I can only imagine how he's feeling right now. It shook up dad pretty bad. Sis. Knudsen wanted to understand how mom was feeling when I returned home. Mom let her know and also gave her some of the news about Jacob and how he's been feeling. It's pretty crazy how much I relate to different people, even without them knowing about it.
I went with Mom to El Pollo Loco. We ate and watched The Middle. Then I left for my Stake Priesthood Meeting. After the meeting, which was really good, I gave Brother Harris a ride home and then I went to see Sarah. We talked about her day and prayed. I expressed my concern that she went through someone else (Sarah Mable Jensen) to buy the ornaments instead of me. I also was concerned that she bought some without consulting my parents. But, it will be alright. She is her own person, and she doesn't need my permission for everything she does, and I do love her.
Took out the trash, and now I'm going to finish watching DC Legends of Tomorrow.
