Craziness

The last week has been very frustrating. Maybe its because I have been so sick with allergies/sinus junk, that it just seems worse.
Most days I really love my job, and other days I just want to go home and crawl in bed.
Things at school are very chaotic-changes in the way we plan/teach, people conflicts, and student meltdowns.
It breaks my heart to see a child have a meltdown of negativity. How does a child learn to "hate" himself and the people around him? Now, I don't think he really hates everyone-but when he is frustrated-he can't see past his own anger.

Yesterday, I met with a parent who thought her child might have dyselxia. After reading Shaywitz's book this summer and the research for my paper, I actually felt like I could answer her questions and make suggestions-and I really knew what I was talking about.

I can't wait till Sunday...I am so ready for a vacation from school and everything else.

It is awesome to have the answers, isnt it? I love it when I do. Of course, there are so many times that I dont and I always wonder, is it really okay for a professor to say she doesnt know? I sure hope so because I do all the time! Your daughters are gorgeous!
