Today

I hear it all of the time, 'You're doing such a wonderful job!"  But what they don't see is the struggle at home to make sure that the so-called "wonderful job" become a reality.  It's on days like today, that I wish for a lot of things.  But wishes aren't reality, and when I look at certain things, I wonder if things really will be okay.

Today is that day when "You're doing a great job,' becomes, "You're behind, and do you know how in the world you're going to catch up?"

Today is that day when "They're doing great," becomes "Are they really doing great?"

Today is that day when "What they need," becomes, "Will they get what they need?'

Today is that day when "Guidance" turns into "Failure."

Today is a lot of things, and I'm trying to turn them into a more positive thing.  But the reality is that most of what today is, is negative and I can't really fix it.  Today stinks.
