The pool party went off without a hitch. The friend's mom rearranged her schedule and got there about 2:30. The height of the action. No one tried to sneak into the woods. No one except Braden and his girlfriend. Twice I had to put the kabosh on a little "sneak away". I can't believe Braden is going to be in high school next year. Where does the time go?
Tonight's my book group meeting. I decided on my appetizers....roasted red pepper bruchetta, sweet and sour chicken and mini rosemary potato pancakes. Plus assorted crackers and dips.
I started the summer program this week. What an interesting bunch of kids we have. They're all high school kids in the partial hospitalization program. Serious mental disorders. And, get this....now try to keep up it gets a little confusing: There's one girl in my class who has dated three other female students in my class and one male student in my class. The male student has also dated one of the female students (who happens to be one of the three females that dated the first female). This female has never gotten over the serious relationship she had with the male and stares longingly at him all day long and cries when his bus gets called. Oh, and their relationship lasted a total of 4 days. And the first female is currently dating yet another female student in my class and all day we're either telling them to keep their hands off each other or counseling one of them after they get into an arguement. My days are just filled with FUN FUN FUN!

I think I saw that porn film,you wait til they bring the goat in then it gets really interesting
"you give love a bad name" was what popped into my mind.
But then I've been told that it's actually just love that gives love a bad name.
Schell, how often do you swim in your pool during the summer months?
Me personally? Not too often. I'm more of a dipper. Keith and the kids are in there almost daily.
How do you cope with your job? You must be some sort of martyr. I swear to god I would rather scrub toilets.
Schell,
you need to hunt down a movie called "it's so much work to be your friend" by rick lavioe. your school system or library should have it. it's about the lack of social skills among children who are LD and or ED and talks somewhat on what we can do about it.
One thing he points out is that these kids will meet, "fall in love" and plan weddings and rank baby names within minutes of meeting each other without even knowning a last name or anything really about the other person. they really just miss all of the socialization the rest of us just pick up on.
I am so happy i'm being moved to the mentally retarded program from the emotionally disturbed program next year. the bunch i had this year really wore me out, and i'm going to enjoy playing with the MR kids instead of the constant emotional drain from the ED kids. most of the parents are horrible people, but if i don't like it next june, i can transfer back to inclusion or put in to be a content teacher.
good luck with summer school.
love,
jilly
