I Be Illin'

Well I was illin' last night (a Run DMC song, by the way) but I'm feeling much better now.  My stomach started feeling bad at work.  Came home - felt better; walked Sami, did my thing on the treadmill and then my neighbor (two doors down) came over and asked if I could watch her kids for 45 minutes while she went to parent/teacher conferences.  I said yes...had to be there at 5:15.  Got there - all was fine...sat outside while the kids played. Jim came home and my stomach started up again. But I managed to keep it together.  My neighbor got home at about 6:30 (45 minutes my ass)...I went inside and started dinner...which I knew I wasn't going to be able to eat. In the end I managed to get a couple bites of rice down, a few green beans and some toast.  I felt better around 7:00 and slept through the night no problem.  The only thing wrong with me now is I'm hungry.  Hopefully this won't return.

In student news, I've been dealing with a loony tune!  I mean a real cuckoo bird!  Let's call her Daffy.  She is in my LA class and in the maybe 10 days of class we've had so far, she's probably made it to 5.  She's an apparent cutter, burner and all-around self-mutilator...oh and she tells anyone she meets.  Can you say "attention seeker"?  How many cutters have you met?  That's because they don't introduce themselves as cutters...they keep it hidden.  This girl is trying every which way to get booted from our school and sent to the behavioral school.  Yesterday she claimed that two boys from my LA class were harassing her and following her - proven not true apparently.  Weird.  Not sure what to do about this girl...she's not on my caseload but YOWZA!  Oh, and yes, she has therapists...two...lot of good they're doing.

In school news: Things are fine.  I can't seem to find the time to get my first IEP started.  I'm continually trying to answer emails, modify material etc., etc.  This Google Drive/Apps thing is getting to me too.  We'll be going all Google next year and to email in January.  I'm not properly trained yet and can't seem to figure anything out.  It doesn't help that I have my email at school another email with one name connected to school, another one that we will be going to in January - oh, and my gmail...can't keep anything straight and it's trying me crazy. 

And that's about all I've got.  I need to get to school and maybe start my IEP that's set for the end of this month...and email about 10 other parents to set up meetings.  UGH!  K - I'm out...later!
