[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 685503, member: 13260"] Good morning! I'm starting back to my first day of work after my spring break and I will be with about 80 difficult children until I get to go home. But, it will only be about eight of them at a time and their instructional aides will be there to help. We've all had our breaks and the first day back is usually kind of a hot mess. The kids have to adapt to being back in school and there's lots of elopements and meltdowns, and I'm hoping I don't get hurt because some of them really hit, scratch, and pinch hard. I hope I've brought enough different activities (you should see me when I arrive at a school--loaded down with equipment and I look like a pack mule) that I will be able to keep most of them on some type of task. And if all that fails, I have my bubble machine and that's always 99.9% successful, as long as I can keep the kids from drinking the bubbles or picking up the machine and throwing it and breaking it. I'm on my third one in 2 months. My daughter, the mother of difficult grandson, has really hit the skids, lost another job (every three months, like clockwork, she gets fired from her job as a dental assistant for being late, disorganized, and slow). She's so fantastic with the patients but the dentists have to make a living to pay her, so the day before she is due to start getting her benefits, they fire her. She's depressed, has no insurance to get back on her medications, and she is barely functioning. I'm so afraid she will start using again and I'll end up on two forums. Sigh. Monday. [/QUOTE]
