Sorry sorry sorry!
I forgot to make a post about the new job. I LOVE IT! I'm working with the 1st-3rd graders (all of whom are boys). They've been kicked out of their regular schools to attend this 4-8 month program to teach them coping skills, anger management, and deal with their mental health issues. I do a 45 minute group with them every day, individual sessions as needed, and family sessions as required/needed. Plus, fill in/help out in the classrooms as needed. There are 1-8 graders in the CREST program, which is the one I'm working with. THere is another one, called CHOICE, that is an assessment program, where kids come to see what their needs are, and to see if they qualify for the CREST program. The kids are so cute, but sooo bad. The words that come out of their mounths shock you. They throw chairs, tip over desks, hit, kick, bite.. basically miniature TCH wannabees.
The only part that SUCKS is the 7:30am staff meetings. I guess on non staff meeting days (2-3 days a week), we still are supposed to be there between 7:30 and 8am. But, we can leave as soon as the kids are gone at 3:30.. so it's not too bad.
I'll post more later.

Congrats on the new Job! I don't know how you deal with those behavior issues, but I admire you for it. I would probably end up throwing a chair back at them :)
