Last week, one of my favorite former students (I have a lot of favorites- this one happens to be an 8th grade girl) had a meltdown. She is.... 14? I'm guessing here, maybe 13, maybe 15. Short - a few inches shorter than me, although she might have surpassed me over the weekend; they tend to do that. She is beautiful, but in that tough girl kind ( Read more... )

So, can someone explain to me why J, this guy I dated for maybe a couple of months about....5 years ago, and it never progressed beyond holding hands (who is now married) messaged me on FB suggesting that we get together to catch up??? (And yes, I should probably unfriendly him.)

Today (or really in the middle of last night) my aunt told a nurse at the hospital that she was going to call the police because she was being held against her will. So the nurse called my mom (at 3 am) and my mom spent a couple of hours at the hospital waiting for my aunt to calm down. Fun times....

She wants to come home really badly, but I'm not sure when she will be able to be released. She may need to go to a convalescent home for a while to rebuild her strength - she was pretty heavily sedated for almost a week so that' ( Read more... )
