"A" is for Anxiety

Here are the things that have caused me anxiety this week...

A husband that has returned to a hectic schedule of work and school and has then decided to add more to his load by agreeing to tape his old professor's lectures during the evenings.
Naughty students who seem to think that they must talk at all times in order to remain alive. That's my only guess for the constant jabbering...
Xeroxing many papers that then had to be assembled into books that for some reason I just couldn't seem to assemble correctly. Children had books that were backwards and pages upside down. Oops!
Icky feeling child who the nurse sent back to me. When he returned to my room, he burst into tears and ran to the bathroom and *gasp* vomited. Good job nurse! Way to catch those fakers! (But at least he did make it to the toilet- thank heavens!)
E-mails that start with the phrase: "With all due respect." Interesting how that phrase rarely connotes respect.
Two boys throwing many fits on the way home from work this week (in the confined space of a car) and at home. One just can't stand to loose sight of me and is always flapping those arms. The other just can't stand to hear me say "no." (Not like that's an uncommon word for me or anything)
Young children who have coughing fits during the night that cause me to lie awake, unable to sleep until they end many minutes later.

I was hoping you'd go through every letter of the alphabet...I'm sure we can all think of 26 things that cause us anxiety. Sounds like you need a break. You should call out sick Monday and come hang out with me and hold Jaylee until 4.
