Oh how I despise Mondays, If I could I would cancel it permanently.
(Oddly enough my kids and our dog agree with me on this)
Work today was hectic and I wanted to turn around as soon as I stepped foot on work property. Mondays are specially tough for Special Needs kids, just getting back into a routine is hard and they would rather just do things that they enjoy and who could blame them.Trying to keep them on task or just paying attention in general is tough, so we have to be creative and somehow it all works out. Whenever I question why I work as a Teacher's Aid I go to this website.http://carlysvoice.com/ She's Autistic, but have found her "voice" by typing on her computer. She explains why some Autistic kids act the way they do and how they feel.
One kid was having a really tough time today at school due to his eczema and hives, poor kid was covered in it and was itching so bad. Benadryl and all kinds of ointment was administered, but he was still in agony. This kid's parent was to busy to come get them or maybe she didn't know how bad this it was. I was on the verge of crying when this student was crying, he was hurting all over and all he wanted was for someone to be there to feel sorry for him and to take care of him. I could go on and on about this, but I won't because we all parent differently and I'm trying my hardest NOT to judge. ( I have bit my tongue and counted to 10 countless times).
Coming home from work today was such a relief, I got to snuggle with my dog and take a breather before I get my trio from school. I have almost broken down and gotten them from school early, because I miss them so much and I have no clue what they are doing. I wish I could be a fly on the wall or maybe equip them with a camera.. (I'm dead serious and I bet I'm not the only parent that feels that way).
Monday I still despise you, but It ended up being a pretty good day after all.
(Hubby who works late came home early to have dinner with us and to prepare for a PT test tomorrow)
