A good week.
Hively’s “other” grandparents took him out for shrimp yesterday. He is allergic to shellfish. I tell him to not eat it. He does anyway. Today his face is puffy. I have implored him to not eat shrimp again. I hope he will keep his word to me that he won’t. It must be so easy to be those “other” people. The ones who do not have to deal with these many chronic illnesses and issues on a daily basis. It must be so easy and nice.
This weeks meds:
Hydroxyzine 2x/day, Ranitidine 2x/day, Albuteral, Focalin XR, Synthroid.
Also, the teacher is going against the 504 and changing the expectations of him all on her own. No consulting with me or the psychologist. She is a real piece of work. I will be so grateful when this year is done. I will be happy when I do not have to deal with her anymore because she so obviously doesn’t care about my child or his success in education.
Not everyone is teacher material! It is a low paying job. You have to deal with a lot of administration crap. You may have a nice schedule but the trade off isn’t necessarily worth it. You get sick a lot because all children are carrier monkeys. It is truly a labor of love. It is a job you do because you love children, and you love the look a child gets when that light goes off in their head because they get the concept you are teaching. Not everyone is teacher material. I know I am not. I also know this teacher we have this year isn’t either. It doesn’t matter how many days a week she misses because she is in seminars or training. None of these are doing any good for her, she is just not teacher material.
