Hmm...

Trying to think of something to write about. It's been a pretty boring couple of days - which I'm not complaining about. Things at school are moving along and I'm getting acclimated to these kids. I've almost become numb when it comes to the ADHD kid I've got in LA - I think I'll nickname him Schroeder (though that is an insult to Schroeder). It just sucks so bad that I have to consciously tell myself to be nice to him and try to treat him with unbiased hands. I have to remember that he can't always help how he acts. Like yesterday - I probably told him to get back in his seat 8 or 9 times and I'm NOT exagerrating. Part of this was him needing to look at the clock. He got up to look at 1:21 and then up again at 1:22. I constantly need to tell myself that he isn't being purposely disrespectful toward me but then I'm not sure. I don't give a shit if he likes me or not but I don't want him to NOT like me because I'm mean. I'm okay if it's because I'm tough on him - he obviously needs that - but it's a fine line. UGH! I know as a teacher one shouldn't have favorites (and that's a hard enough thing to avoid) but it's just as hard to not have those you loathe. And I'll tell you - it's been a LONG time since I've had a kid I've disliked this much. UGH! I just need to remember that there's a back story to every person that I'll probably never know about his.

In other news - I'm sending in the paperwork for my absentee ballot today. Early voting starts on Nov. 1st so that's an option too. I haven't decided if I'll vote early or not. It's going to be crazy at the polls so we'll see. I'll see what Jim wants to do. 

And that's all I've got. Hot here and I'm ready for Fall! I was sitting in the family room last night thinking about our first fire this year. I can't wait. 

K - well, best mosey. Happy Tuesday! Later!
