Hey Sprite! How are you?!
1:34 am
sprite

*hugs Kam* Hello dear one. I am okay, again a little bit better than yesterday. How about you? Did you see your doctor yet or is that tomorrow?
1:35 am
Kamanjah

It's Thurs - day after tomorrow here. I got a new salve that is really helping painful spots.
1:37 am
sprite

oh that is wonderful, I am glad you got some relief. And ugh, of course... sometimes I think you are in Oz instead of US.
1:37 am
sprite

ks killed
1:37 am
Kamanjah

Lately, I would rather be anywhere else, lol!
1:38 am
sprite

:D you should rob a bank and buy airplane tickets to me and rose. We'd make you welcome!
1:39 am
Kamanjah

Good for you killing those Ks. I'm too tired to get much further on this grid tonight. It will keep
1:39 am
sprite

oh yes. 24 hours each grid, I love that aspect of babble.
1:40 am
Kamanjah

Hahaha! I would love to come see you two! But we all have lives that happen to be scattered through both hemispheres...
1:41 am
sprite

ain't that the truth. I am ever so grateful I get to see rose and don again. Wasn't sure it would happen again in this lifetime.
1:41 am

2:07 am
sprite

*hugs rose* Hello my dearest friend. How was your day and how are you doing? How are you painwise and how is Don?
2:09 am
grannyrose

don is okay. behaving himself very nicely... loll me ?? still achy. booked into hospital December 10th for procedure on knee.... mwah, but no bed available for me to be in to have my infusion. won't be available until the New Year.
2:10 am
sprite

omg rose... honey that is awful. Are you on the waiting list? Many people cancel around the holidays.
2:10 am
sprite

oh and yay for the knee.
2:12 am
grannyrose

but.... i have been outside gardening 3 days in a row. we now have two beds of daisies in, a weeping wattle, a protea, two daphnes, and another small bush which becomes covered in small yellow flowers every spring.
2:12 am
sprite

that sounds so very pretty. Good job :)
2:12 am
grannyrose

yes, on waiting list. if anyone cancels i am first to be called.
2:13 am
sprite

*fingers crossed*
2:14 am
grannyrose

also have cut away dead and dying growth on ginger plants.i still have to work out where i want 3 prostrate plants to go.
2:15 am
sprite

some day, I will come over and admire your garden.
2:15 am
grannyrose

my neighbour came in and helped me pluck off the seed pods on the stinky iris. it has very pretty pale lemon flowers, but one clump is more than enough.
2:16 am
sprite

good neighbours are worth their weight in gold!
2:16 am
grannyrose

it's called stinky because the crushed leaves stink..
2:19 am
grannyrose

i have decided that endone and i are going to become very well acquainted...;loll. GP is going to have to suck it up. i simply cannot bear the pain .the thought reduces me to te4s.
2:19 am
sprite

had a thing with my beloved yesterday... he's been withdrawing, shutting me out, going on the downward spiral into depression again ever since the rotten talk with his boss. And then he went and said yesterday that he felt abandoned by me, and very alone... I said I have been there for him the whole time, and he said it doesn't feel that way to him. Sigh. Have offered to help him write emails and all, but it seems he wants me to check in with him every hour or so and ask if he wants to do it now... or now... or now...
Have held him and hugged him, but also told him that I am not responsible for how he is feeling. That I am there for him, but it is up to him to make use of that.
2:20 am
sprite

sweetie, that is what the endone is for. You take as many as you need and if your gp makes waves, refer her to the specialist who clearly said you need it.
2:23 am
grannyrose

poor Rob and poor you. so hard when you yourself are not on top of the world, and then are expected to hold up your beloved. it is so hard not to be resentful. i know. when don isn't a hundred per cent, my heart sinks.
2:25 am
grannyrose

you, me and kam... what a trio, eh?? my heart goes out to her and you.
2:25 am
sprite

I do not mind having to hold him up. But when he withdraws from me and then blames me for his feeling alone, things get a little messy. Had to clear it up for the both of us. My heart bleeds for him, and yet I cannot be responsible for how he feels. I can tell him I am here, and offer to help him tackle the emails and all, but if he does not take me up on that, he cannot blame me for that.
2:26 am
grannyrose

exactly, sprite. at least don handles his emails etc. in fact, i think his phone is grafted to his hand.
2:27 am
sprite

lol ikr? Boys and their toys.
2:28 am
grannyrose

although you are superwoman is disguise, i don't think mind-re4ing is in you job description.
2:29 am
sprite

absolutely not. One of the many things I have learned over the years in relationships... we do NOT have to mindread. The other person has to voice his or her needs.
2:30 am
grannyrose

yup... and..."i don't know" is not an acceptable answer to the question 'what is the matter?"
2:30 am
sprite

found a bug

hi again, sorry had to help a kiddo. his family has washed their hands of him - they are basically ruled by him and his behavior They do not require him to do ANYTHING at home, including homework, and have very much let us know that from 7:30-2:30 he is our problem
9:38 am
Trifioso

and I dont know if we are doing Mindset directly, dos, but we are trying walks when he gets overwhelmed, social work support, and disciplinary actions when appropriate - which is pretty much every day. NO ONE here has had a kid like him in school, ever.
9:38 am

Trif, are there any good times being a teacher
9:39 am

yes bichon, of course! have many happy moments every day

9:47 am

Back. Oh, Trif, I am so sad about that child. We see kids like him in our office every day. We call them feral kids because they have not been socialized or civilized by their parents.

Another term we use is perpetual toddlerhood syndrome--egocentric, emotionally labile, aggressive kids that have never advanced beyond age 3.
9:48 am
Trifioso

four of the paras have gone to administration to say flat out that they will not work with him. he has been moved out of one english class already, as he is so disruptive (reminder - it's november)
9:48 am
bichon

Can't the school place him in a different school?
9:49 am
Trifioso

we have to have a loooong backlog of evidence before we can suggest outplacement, or there has to be a major infraction. keep in mind - if we outplace him, we have to pay for the education

... it's probably illegal but ... is there any male teacher who is large enough to handle him and can be spared for a whole day maybe two ... put them in a small room and tell him to sit and then ignore him ... while the teacher goes on with some work and basically ignores the student letting him do what he wants as long as it's in this empty room ... ... after time ... then talk to him to find out what he thinks the problem is ....
9:51 am

Here we have alternative schools for kids in danger of failing or dropping out BUT the academic expectations are low which is what these kids want.

10:39 am
Trifioso

I would help him - i TRY, good god how I try - but he is too cool for school, and would rather fool around than admit he is desperately behind in all subjects and in real danger of flunking. He will tell anyone who will listen that the day he turns 16 he is dropping out, and finishing via night school. Spin earth, spin! I want the best for this kid, but he doesnt care - at all - his parents have tons of money, and he is so entitled and bossy that the real world will teach him more than I ever could
10:41 am

sad, but true. Every now and then one slips through, despite all efforts.

the lead teacher is MUCH more experienced than I am, and she is as tough as nails. She is all about "natural consequences" with heavy documentation. We can show that we provided or offered every indicated support, and he accepted NONE of them. The natural consequence becomes that he fails.
