I've Been Working on the Railroad...er...wait...

This week has been a little harder than last week. The kids have been having more melt downs and there is one particular student who is capable of doing her work and behaving well, but is afraid of getting older and having responsibility, so she chooses to act out and can manipulate the system to get her own way. I can see through her and don't like letting her (or anyone) get away with breaking the rules, so I have been trying to calmly enforce the rules with her which makes her mad and she was really rude to me all day yesterday and the day before, not wanting me to help her, walk with her, sit with her, etc. And because she has an attitude with me it make it difficult for me to be positive with her. And because I'm frustrated at work all day, but can't take it out on the kids, I take it out on Tim afterwards. I become more argumentative than normal and just makes Tim frustrated and he's too nice to say anything to me about it. He really is wonderful and I feel bad for taking out my anger on him. So, my goal from now on is to be nice to Tim because he's not the one who made me frustrated.
One cool thing about yesterday was a family of moose walked by the front of the school on the front porch in the morning. One of the other TA's came in and told me they were walking by and I went to the window just in time to see the back end of the last one. It was pretty cool.
This morning I didn't set my alarm correctly and I slept until 7:30, which is the time I'm supposed to be at work! I called the front desk to let them know I would be late, and I made it by 7:53. I also get to leave early today, at 12:30 to go to the New Employee Orientation at the district's administration building from 1 to 4:30. Not that I'm excited about the orientation, but it will be nice to miss the worst part of the day, and get paid for working an extra hour and a half. :-)
I think I'm going to use this weekend to get a lot of wedding stuff done. I made a list of everything that needs to get done, but just haven't had much time to do it.
Well, back to work for me! Thanks for reading!
