Random School Weirdness
- Sent a kid home earlier in the week for biting (me, repeatedly) and using inappropriate language (kid knows some serious profanity) and throwing things at his classmates (one kid cracked me up by yelling "Incoming!" when a crayon box was thrown his way)
- This morning, the kid's dad meets me at the door and says, "I didn't give him his meds this morning. He didn't want to take them." Uh, huh?? I smiled and said, "Thanks so much, I'm sure it will be an interesting day." I was right.
- A refugee kid said something is his native language to another kid while I was passing by. It was easy to tell (by body language and tone) that what he was saying wasn't nice. I offered a random comment like, "Hey, nice words, please." Now he thinks I'm some kind of language whiz and speak his language. He keeps finding me and saying, "adhgkdhe...what I say?"
- A parent has decided the best way to make sure her kid behaves at school is to keep him sleep deprived. (Could I make this up?) He behaves. Of course he nods off every few minutes and doesn't get much done...but hey, he's not in trouble.
- I've applied for 3 jobs...and heard nothing yet. Should I take that personally?
- Kid came to school today with his eyebrow split open. Said he was hit by a baseball. No doctor, no stitches, just...baby powder. Who knew that was a first aid item?
- My homework that is due tonight is still not done. I've been too busy reading blogs. I may need a step program.

Who Am I?

About Me
I'm a wife, a mom, an educator and a normal (okay, relative term here) person who makes frequent mistakes. I have a lot to say, hence the blog. My kids were adopted as babies (one through an agency and one through the foster care system). I love to talk about adoption. My daughter has sensory issues as well as ADHD. I like to vent about parenting. I am occasionally rosy, usually blunt and sometimes I am simply downright rude. Don't read if it offends you. I may sometimes write about my school experiences so let me cover my bases. I don't live in your town, I don't work at your school, I am not talking about your child, you don't know me. If you think you've figured out who I am...ask me, I will lie and say you don't know me. email me at chocolatecoffeesleep@hotmail.com

Homework? What are you talking about? I thought the deadline was a SUGGESTION, not a hard and fast rule. It's almost 9 pm. I guess I should read something so I can post something.
Baby powder .... I'll start keeping that next to windex. That should cover everything then.
Jobs ... don't take it personally. It's early. And something will break when it is SUPPOSED to. Relax already. Go interpret more body language.
Have a nice night/day. whatever.
Mary's blissfully ignorant conscience.
