April 15

Long day.

I hate pictures like this.  It drives me crazy when I see them all over Facebook and Instagram.  I just keep saying to myself, "Certainly you can find a better way to take a picture of yourself than in the bathroom mirror."

This picture is a little different.  The one word that came to mind all day was "reflection." 

I found out today that Jayna will not even be given the opportunity to test in to Kindergarten in Center Grove.  I've wondered all along if we're pushing her too hard or if starting her slightly early was a bad choice.  Turns out that I don't even get a say in the choice.  Also, I'm the primary person who got her excited about Kindergarten and now I have to be the one to burst her bubble.  We're still exploring some other options, but it isn't looking good.  Looks like one more year of preschool.

One of my young (41 years old) coworkers was admitted to the hospital this weekend.  He has a brain tumor.  Everything is up in the air and uncertain right now, but just the fact that he's 41 with a life ahead of him and kids and a family makes me so very sad for him.  Also?  I kind of like the guy.  I am really thinking about him and his family today.  I've also been thinking about how life isn't promised.  Live it and tell people you love them.  They may not be around tomorrow. 

Lots of reflection for a Monday.  Lots of confusion and disappointment.  Tomorrow is a new day.
