Can't get used to it in Just in Case

It’s been a while since I had reliable internet and a working laptop, so I’ve gotten out of the habit of coming here, but I miss y’all. Things have been ok here, We had some severe weather the other day. a tornado touched down right down the road from me, but missed e. Just before midnight my phone went crazy with a tornado warning. I knew it was supposed to get bad, so I slept in “nicer” pjs than normal lol. Lots of homes damaged and even lost, but no lives lost. There’s more weather again tonight, but it’s not supposed to be as bad, thank goodness. That was a long, sleepless night. Keeping up with friends and family to make sure they were all safe.
Sleep has always been a problem area for me. I’ve never been one who needed lots of hours. 6 or 7 is usually enough for me. An occasional sleep in is fun, of course. Lately, though, it’s gotten worse. I’m not sure if it’s just the bad dreams. (I’ve always had really vivid dreams that I tend to remember.) The past few weeks I’ve had a few nights where I can’t tell if I’m dreaming or awake but I’m having these weird moments where I feel like someone is there, but I can’t turn to look, like I’m frozen. It doesn’t last long, I’m not terrified, it’s just weird. I’m not living in fear of someone breaking in. I don’t get it, but I’d really like it to go away. I’m really over it. I don’t even feel like I’m super stressed right now. I don’t know.
Today started my first week of the week-long, all day STEM field trip that I take all 3 classes to. It’s different this year. I have a month before the other two classes go. Its a lot of work getting ready for (7 hours between Thursday and Saturday after school), but the kids love it. One of my kids, today, though, broke my heart. He’s in my homeroom, the group that was going today. Just as kids started coming in, the school secretary called me down to tell me that his mom had called and needed him swapped to another group. His grandfather had passed away, and he had no idea. They told him because he was going to miss several days to get his braces taken care of, we were moving him to a new group, but he knew something was up. Mom came up planning on telling him, but couldn’t. So I’m worrying about him tonight.
Ok, I’m going to head off and try to catch up a little bit more on some of y’all.
