Thanks for the positive thoughts on my last Debbie Downer post. I had to vent and my husband, my grade partner (who would understand me), and my roomie were all gone. I was so angry last night and so hurt. What I don't mind is being questioned or asked about what is going on with a child, but I don't like when it feels like an attack. And when someone goes over my head to my principal automatically and every single time, it makes me angry. It makes me feel vulnerable and attacked. I hate that more than anything. I hate questioning myself and my job. I love my students...I don't want to feel like I am doing the wrong job because I know I'm not. I know that I love my job. I just know that I have 3 weeks left and that I am not putting up with being stomped on by this parent anymore. I'm done.
On a brighter note....it is GORGEOUS here right now. Yesterday was the most beautiful 87 degree day. This morning I took Truman outside and it was beautiful. When I wake up and hear the birds chirping, it's a good day.
I could use some strength right now to continue my day. I need to get ready, but if I put it off...maybe I could stay home. No? Damn. Lord, give me strength to make it through the day. And chocolate. Amen.
OH! Have you seen these plants? You can plant them, pot and all. They are biodegradable. I love these!

Big hugs! Today will be a better day for sure and it is FRIDAY!!!!!
Oh honey! I just read that last post and I am so sorry you were mistreated. I know exactly how you feel. I agree that the weather right now is beautiful and I too loved hearing the birds this morning as I laid in bed. I hope today goes better for you!
Aww friend, hugs!!!
I had the biggest ta do with a parent Friday after school. I had done absolutely nothing wrong, but she was upset that her dd could not attend the lock in that night. I was very firm with her as it was not my decision to make.
As you get more experience and have taught longer you will gain experience in dealing with difficult parents. I have to say that I am always firm and respectful, but never let them push me around.
Hugs and hopefully you can shake it off.
