I still love this song...reminds me of high school :-)

I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
tried to tell you
but you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
innocent and sweet.
Yesterday I cried,
must have been relieved
to see the softer side
I can understand
how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one

[Chorus]
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
when I start to make you nervous
and I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing

[Chorus]

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm an angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Euphoria

I can't even explain what an amazing change this new job has had on my life. It's not even that the job itself made that significant of an impact (although it's great), but I think the tough decision of cutting back on the job I hate to pursue my true passion in depth has made all the difference in my stress levels. I know it's only the beginning of the semester, but each day as I sit in class, learning about strategies for struggling readers, ideas for gifted students, integrating arts into the curriculum, it's like my brain goes crazy. I feel a little euphoric walking through the halls of the elementary with things to do that will enhance the students' learning. I am a more patient mother, more focused, I have more energy, and I'm just, well, happier! (I'm sure come March I'll be exhausted again) But for now, I'm gonna indulge myself !
