Tired

Today was just plain tough. I took it one moment at a time. Things just kept happening and all of my kids seem to go off. Maybe there is snow tomorrow or maybe I was just overwhelmed. No matter, the day marched on and so did I. There are things going on with my students and my parents that I simply am not allowed to post on a blog, but I wanted to note what an interesting day this was. The day was so crazy, I barely got to teach. I was called into meeting after meeting and all of them were tense. Finally, at the end of the day, I got a call from the BCBA for our district. She is the behavior specialist that gets paid a lot of money to tell me how to handle my students. I don't know what I would do without her. She told me that one of my students parents had called her and asked that I be protected from all that is going on. Her words were "Shari loves those kids and we love her." I am humbled and the mom is right. I do love my kids. I think that I share a special bond with them as day in and day out, we share the good and the bad on a higher plain than I would with the normal student. I would ask that all of you just say a little prayer for me. I know I am doing a good job and so do the parents of my students.

I went to the TMJ specialist and I don't need braces. Yeah!! My right jaw joint is out of whack, but can be fixed by me wearing a splint full time for a month or so and then just at night. I am so glad.

I am off to bed or maybe the hot tub so that I can end this crazy day. I am hoping for much better tomorrow.
