Oh!  I am all a dither.  I discovered two things today at school that have left me in this state.  The first is that our "business manager" is resigning and taking a job elsewhere.  That doesn't sound like much but in a smallish private school environment it can mean lots.  He is more than just the business side of the school.  He is pretty much the Prime Minister to our Head Master's Queen.  (If you met our Head Master you'd know why that is sooo apropos. )  There was much whispering in corners and many coffee and bathroom breaks for the teachers today.  Gossip was swirling.   What with his having a hand in all the dealings in the school, changes are sure to come.

Then, a colleague mentioned that two mothers of students in our school believe their children to be Indigo Children.  Am I the only person who had never heard of this?  It's some sort of new age belief that aliens are seeding children born from 1990 onward to elevate us to the next level of consciousness.  They are called Star Children and under that title are divided into Crystal Children and Indigo Children.  Look this up.  It's fascinating.  Some genius thought this up and is now probably making gabillions on books and DVD's and public speaking.  Call me a cynic yet again but really?  What the #$@%$?  Anyhow, these two mothers have been pushing the school to treat their children as special entities and to see them for what they are, (emissaries from planet looney?)   I know one of these kids and in fact she is in Grace's grade.  This explains so much!  She is very serious and kind of a control freak.  It's probably her way of dealing with her insane mother.  Whoa. 

I am off to hide in the dark of my room and watch some television.  I don't want to have to think right now.  My head might explode.  xxoo me
