Relief

So today I had a big meeting with my admin and the special ed teachers. Although I hate going to admin about things, I felt it was necessary because these other teachers are not working with me and my kids are not benefitting at all. Basically my biggest complaint was that I had no idea if/when they were coming in to work with these kids and they would barge in my class in the middle of lessons, disrupting everything, and do what they had to do. Then they started just pulling my kids, which is technically against policy because we are an "inclusion school" meaning all kids are mainstreamed, and he told me they were doing that because they gave up on me. He also told me that I need to get rid of my ego and listen to him because he's been doing this longer than I've been alive. That irritated me to the max. I hate people like that. Ugh, whatever. So the meeting today went really well. Admin was totally on my side and we all reached an agreement. Now I know they're coming in EVERYDAY at the same time. Mission accomplished. I also found out that they were ordering this special pen for my student that can't read. It has attached headphones and when the ball of the pen (not an actual writing pen, but it looks like it) goes over a written word, it reads it aloud! So he can read things now without me or another student reading it for him! I can't wait to get it. It looks so cool.

I can't believe tomorrow is Thursday already. This week flew by! I'm hoping we're gonna have a low key weekend. Pat's starting phase one of a diet this week and he can't have alcohol so that doesn't leave us with too many options of going anywhere on the weekend. It'll be kind of nice to lay low though and not spend money.

On a super positive note, I found a solution to pay off my debt and I couldn't be happier than a pig in shit right now. This has been irritating the crap out of me for a long time and I can finally see relief! Now I can start saving money and feel like a real adult! Yipee!!
