"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Colossians 3:23-24
I can tell it's getting close to summer. Not only is the weather fabulous, but the kids are getting crazy!! All year has been an adventure, but since spring break, the kids have been off the wall. I have one student, we'll call him Smoker...he has a problem with telling the truth. His parents believe everything he tells them, but has a hard time keeping his story straight. He really pushes my buttons. Smoker is extremely intelligent, but suffers from ADHD. And I understand that, but my gosh. Sometimes I just want to scream at him to sit and be quiet! Maybe if he wasn't saying obscene things, I would be okay with the talking part. Last Friday, he told another boy that his mom could suck his... I'll let you figure it out. Yesterday, he told a girl he wanted to touch her breasts...considering she doesn't have any, I think it's funny. But, my point in his post is to say that I must remember Colossians 3:23-24. I must remember to keep my patience, even though it's almost gone, and work as if I am working for the Lord. I can do it!! :)
Another piece of excitement happened at school today. There was a lock down. Yes, a lock down. If I were in Guntersville, I might not think too much about the secretary coming over the intercom and saying, "LOCK DOWN!!" But since I work in Birmingham, I was scared to death. I jumped up, locked the door, closed the blinds, and turned off the lights. Thankfully, my good friends Jessica and Barbara were there to keep my mind occupied. Lock downs are scary things when you are unsure of whats going on. But no worries, just a drunk lady walking around our campus looking for her kid. PHEW! Never a dull moment.
Tomorrow is Friday. Bus Duty. And IEP meetings. Tomorrow kicks off my IEP season. I have 2 IEP meetings every Friday from now until the last day of school. I have a few extra meetings on Thursday. I am going to be a busy lady...
