Date With Death

One of my students was so mad at me yesterday that told another teacher I had a date with death. This is the same kid who drew a picture of a devil cat and said I was a sorrowful kitten whose soul was dead inside. I mean, you can't make this shit up! This is a kid who is highly autistic. He's actually in the MH (multi handicapped) classroom but is pretty high (in terms of ability to read and write but certainly not emotionally or socially) so they put him out for a couple classes...my history being one. I've had him half the year and he is a hoot! Yesterday he was so pissed that he had homework (that's his biggest hang up) and kept scripting about it that I finally had to pull him aside and talk to him and warn him that if he continued, he would get extra homework. Well, that kept him quiet until the bell rang and he wasn't done with his work. He then started to run around the room (he's tall and lanky and moves like those tube men balloons you see in front of car washes) and acting like he was going to slam down his binder and crying. So...he got extra homework and a stern talking to! It took all I had not to bust out laughing at his antics. And wouldn't you know that he's up for his reevaluation and the school psyche had just left when he started his hissy fit!?

So happy it's Friday! No real plans this weekend. Jim's going to work Saturday morning and we're going out to dinner Saturday night (Jim wants Eddie Merlots) but other than that...nothing. Saturday was supposed to a lot nicer than it sounds like it's going to actually be and I was going to try and soak up some rays but who knows if that will happen now. Oh well.

Oh! I know what I wanted to talk about. Remember that mentally/intellectually challenged student I mentioned who set a record on time spent on an Air test...who was pregnant? Notice the word "was"? Yup, she had a miscarriage. I mean...please don't take this the wrong way (eye roll to people who would) but, THANK GOD! And this may sound horrible but good things do happen to stupid people! Truly! This "couple" should A) never have even gotten together and B) procreated. Oh, and supposedly, it was a pretty big miracle that she even got pregnant because baby daddy apparently has (according to his mother who likes to share inappropriately) a micro penis! TOO MUCH INFORMATION!!! Lets hope that was a one-shot deal. I hope someone talks to them and convinces them to use protection.

Okay well, time to get a move on on this rainy morning. Happy Friday! Later!
