Its Friday. Thank goodness!! Not only is it Friday; it is payday Friday. Don't know why I felt so relieved when I saw that money in my account this morning but I did. Of course, I have to transfer some to our joint checking account, but I will do that tomorrow.

I'm sad. One of my favorite teachers has resigned. She has been dealing with some very difficult parents and finally one looked at her after an hour long meeting and said, "You knew my son was coming to you all summer long and you did nothing to prepare for him." Now, Dee had this boy last year. He is autistic and has some very challenging behaviors. She lost one para who called her and said, "Dee, I love you and your classroom but I can't face another year with C." Many people feel that way about C. But not Dee. She loves this boy. She does everything in her power to make school work for him and then she gets slammed like that. But this is only one parent of about 5 who has given her so much grief in the last two weeks. She just couldn't take it anymore. Now I worry for the kids, the status of that classroom and frankly for me. Dee and I were a good team. Now I am not sure what will happen. We have two weeks before she is gone so we'll see how it all works out.
