Well, I just had the worse day of my teaching career! I have dealt with a student in my class that refuses to cooperate, follow rules, adjust to school, etc..... since day 1!! Mom is in denial and after having meeting after meeting with her on numerous times with admin. she came after me today and verbally attacked me, in spanish of course, and even though I couldn't understand her exact words, I heard her loud and clear!! (as did others that were around) Finally, another teacher went into the office and told them that I need an administrator out there ASAP. As they came out I left and told whomever was around, "I was done with that mom!!" It was her kid or me that was going to leave! Well, of course my fabulous administrators came in and told me, "well, it sure isn't you, she is nuts!" I agreed!! What it boils down to is this, her kid is a spoiled rotten kid that is allowed to do as he pleases and gets away with whatever at home, so as to not create problems with mom, and then he thinks he can do it in my class as well. I say NO! you have to follow rules just like the rest of the class. He doesn't like to do that! So he gets in trouble and mom thinks I need to be PATIENT with him, HELLO, it's NOVEMBER already, been patient enough! I wouldn't allow this behavior with my own grandkids, and I LOVE THEM!!! Anyway, Principal put him in another class and I know his life will become even more hellish, cuz, this teacher speaks spanish and will not put up with him or mom and their ridiculous excuses. So we will see how long he actually stays in our school. Cuz, by the way, he is an inter district transfer, with 12 tardies thus far in the year!!! Well, thanks for reading and sharing my anguish today! Tomorrow should be a breeze!! Oh, and I might add, when mom picked up her little 'angel', she gave me the dirtiest looks ever, whatever, go get a real life lady!
SO I am off to help John at the blood bank, later!

Well, the turkey is gone and everything is cleaned up, company is gone and all that is left are these adorable pictures! We had a busy and fun week. Misty came down last Sunday with the kids and stayed at Sarah's until Wednesday. Then she drove down here and met up with a high school friend for lunch. Marc flew in around 5:30. On Thanksgiving day, we had all the families except for Jeff's family. Missed you guys!!! We had turkey and all the trimmings! Nothin left out! We all enjoyed each other and I hope they all had fun here too! Families are such a great blessing and I am so happy they want to come to gramma & grammpa's, hmmm, I am thinking next year we should have it at Marc & Misty's! Whatcha think?? I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and see ya on the next post!!
