Last day of 2014 eh? Well, what should I do. I want to organize and get rid of stuff. It will help to put away Christmas stuff this weekend. I am also resizing the bookshelves in our bedroom so we can fit more on them. That way we can take some books out of the living room. Eloise and I went to Ikea yesterday and got some of those cloth bins that ( Read more... )

I'm loosing my aide at work because she got a teaching job. I hope she likes it, but I'm afraid for her that it will be terrible. It's at a charter school downtown and they have already asked her how she would handle a 'runner'. That job sounds crappy but hopefully I'm wrong. Anyway. That leaves me without an aide. I mean, they will hire someone ( Read more... )

So far this has been a great Thanksgiving weekend. So relaxing. Rick and Alice came over to the Elliott's for a good chunk of the day yesterday. Eloise and Alice don't skip a beat. It doesn't matter that they hadn't seen each other since Labor Day weekend, they just seem to pick up where they left off. You know, singing on the pool table, cowboy ( Read more... )

I had my meeting with my boss. Seems like nothing will change. My only hope is for some of the kids to move or end up in different programs. Found out that the testing I have to do this year will require 4-6 hours of testing one on one with my 14 kids over the course of about 30 school days. So, that's 56-84 hours which is about 12-17 full school ( Read more... )

Week 7...got to stay home Monday and Tuesday with a sick little boy. Grandma Elliott came down to help us out and she got to stay home with Benjamin today. My class was horrible for my subs. My class was horrible for me. I hate my job. I feel like a big failure there. I feel like a big ol' whiny complainer....maybe because I am. The vice principal ( Read more... )

At the end of the day I had to hide in a closet so that no one would see me tearing up. I hate work! I now have 14 kids in my class. Doesn't sound like much until you meet the kids. I am also extremely sensitive. When I got number 14's paperwork in today it said that he is a nice kid or whatever when things are going well but that his behaviors ( Read more... )
