Working Class

Chatting online with a child whom I've known since she could barely form sentences. Very strange indeed. She's this amazing girl with all of these thoughts and ideas and feelings of her own. But, she's still as...I dunno the word for it...sweet? Intense, maybe. She was always a thoughtful and kin...

Well, looks like I'll be back to the dr's office again this week. Not my thumb tho- it's not broken or anything, and the swelling is gone, so it only hurts if I touch certain spots or bend it too far (which I think is mostly due to the scab/scrappage on the skin, rather than…

WOOT!!! I get to keep working with Growlie!!! And, apparently, the teacher and aide knew already that they were thinking of changing me? (But I think it might've been a different situation) And the teacher actually talked to HER supervisor and stuff to find out how they could KEEP me! I feel spec...

I might not be Growlie's TSS anymore, as of tomorrow. They'll let me know during the day. I will have a hard time not crying if they move me. If they do move me, it will be to an autistic first grader. Whatever will be, will be and I'm sure I'll adore the new kid…

Thank frikkin gawd it's finally frikkin friday!!!!! Oi. Long week. Growlie wasn't awful this week- but he requires a near infinite amount of patience. Wears me out! Because he was absent one day and because he argues and refuses to do a lot of stuff, he didn't earn enough points this week to get ...

Well. TT is gone for good (supposedly). His mom came today and took him out and said he was never coming back. fun. But. Chatterbox is also (apparently) gone for good, too :( Rumour has it that his mom is going to home school him now. There's something fishy about the whole situation and I…

Today was such a long day. The Troublemaker was back today. He starts as soon as he gets in the room. Most of the other kids, mine included, generally are triggered by identifiable things. They may be small things and it might only be in hindsight that any of us see what it was. But…

Today was rather stressful with Growlie. At one point I had to get up and walk out of the room. (Well, I had to pee, too. But I was also up to my eyeballs in frustration.) He's like, Mr Negativity. And I realize that part of it is just oppositional behaviour. But holy begeesus. The…

Well. One week complete with my TSS client, who shall henceforth be named "Growlie". He growls when he is angry or isn't getting his own way. And I know he's trying to be mean and intimidating, but I tend to think it's rather cute. So. I think week 1 went pretty well. At least I…
