I feel like crap today!

Guys I feel like crap, I"m wondering if it is because 1. I racked leaves yesterday 2. I'm coming down with something 3. PMS or 4. because I attempted to play hacky-sack last night. So I tried to get the kids at the Annex (drop-in) to teach me how to play hacky sack and I pulled some muscles in my hips (hee hee) and now it hurts to walk. I use to be so flexible, I guess it just proves that even if I look as old as them it doesn't mean I can still do all the things I use to be able to do when I was their age. But.....I had a break through with one of them during my short lesson in hacky sack. One of the boys (we'll call Joe) is down almost everytime I see him, he just seems to skulk into the Annex with his shoulder's hunched. Joe was expelled from school and so he doesn't really have a lot of hope for the future. So I asked him to teach me how to hacky and he showed me a couple of moves, then he showed me a trick he could do. I praised him by saying "Joe you have some mad hacky skills!". His face totally lit up with this huge grin and all it took was a little bit of encouragement from me for his attitude to completly change. It is those little victories that I love to see!
Hey, I'm kind of afraid that this blog is going to take over my hand written journal I hope I don't get addicted to this because I think I am. But right now I don't have a whole lot of people to talk to so this is kind of good way for me vent and think.
