Phew! What a day!

On Sunday the power went out in about 90% of the area I reside. Luckily we kept our power, but a majority of the students I have didn't have any. EVERYONE was at school Monday and today. Monday was pretty good, but we didn't have too many kids. Today was get on Ms C's nerves day!

"Br" is our resident whiner, followed closely by "Co" who tattles over EVERY. LITTLE. THING. ALL. DAY. LONG. They both are socially inept despite being in care for over a year which usually would acclimate children to that sort of thing. They try so hard to play with the other kids, but they aren't well recieved for some reason. So when they fall down, or the kids tell them to go away they whine and cry to me about it.

We also have my little buddies "D" and "B" who are sweet boys, but TOTALLY rambunctious. And last but not least "G" who is currently on ADHD medication. He is so smart, but has a horrible attitude with following instructions/rules. THen when I finally get a breather in the afternoon I get all the schoolage kids who are bursting at the seams to be wild. Ugh. I am so ready for school to be open and the power back on already!

So I doubt anyone will see this, but I have a dilema one might help me with. The aforemented "G" just started at our center last month. He has ADHD medication he takes once in the morning and again at 12 noon. The kid randomly gets attitude, refuses to eat, and hits kids. ALot of hitting kids actually. He's a "stealth hitter". He hits while he thinks we aren't looking at him then runs off to the other side of the room so when said hitee cries he can proclaim innocence. He will bold face lie about something I watched him do with my own eyes and he's a bit of a kleptomaniac. The last two days he's recieved a frowny face for the day which means he doesn't get to play with his fun stuff at home so he's been ticked. Mom today acted like she was irritated with me, but it could have been him. I really want to give him smiley faces, but I know if I overlook one smack he will drag it for a mile and it will regress us back. Just frustrated with him I guess.

Some funnies:

"T" upon hearing he has the most beautiful blue eyes, "I got them from my dad" he says in all seriousness pointing them out to us. Awww *heart*

My daughter this morning in the car when I was telling her about a trip my aunt will be going on, "I KNOW MOM you already told me 15 times!!!" Um no I didn't lol

My daughter this evening when i asked her to take her plate to the kitchen, "Yes SIR! Mr. Crabs!" lol

Well I must go off and put my kid to bed then work on lesson plans coming up. Later people!
