too much input not enough control

I feel buffeted about by the world without enough power or ability to order my little space within it.

I have a stupid meeting tomorrow where everyone will be a chief - no Indians - even if you want to be one, it's not allowed. I had corner duty (Mrs. Rich, you said duty!)and the other teacher didn't show up. So I had to be a crossing guard in two directions at once. One test I gave today my students bombed because they were burned out and not careful - I gave them a second chance. Another test it looks like they bombed because the computer has the wrong answer key. I'll score those by hand. But I also need to explain the problem and I feel like an idiot. The test and the answer key match, but the answers in the computer don't. The test and key are from last year, but the computer has the updated answers. We just don't have the updated test.

The daycare my mom used to go to is trying to bill us for thousands of dollars. When she started there we were told it was covered by medicare. Now admittedly covered might not be the same as COMPLETELY covered. However, since she never got a bill we assumed it was completely covered. Once she stopped going, years after she started, they say she owes all this money.

I need to get a durable power of attorney before she gets any worse. I thought I had something like that, but after going through all the family trust stuff, I can't find anything.

We have a bottle of champagne. I want to drink it, but it seems wrong.
