thanks you! We just try to focus on the positives but after 14 hours its kinda tough to do that. I saw over 45 families which is a positive. I went through a box of kleenex - negative. The next day my late box was full - positive. This weekend is definitely put your feet up time!

Oh Marcia....my heart goes out to you! As well....I am fully there...on the same page, nay....on the veritable same line when it comes to survival at school. There are days I must say....when some children are lucky to be alive lol
And parent teacher interviews....there are always a couple of close encounters! Hope you were able to put your feet up....have a restful night :)

So tonight is conference night. We start the day at 6:30 am and stay until 7:30 pm. LONG day. my lunch break is at 10:30 and my planning period is 1:00. I don't get another break until 7:30 at night -- parents are lined up before my 9th period kids are out the door, I don't get a break because these people are AGGRESSIVE. The parents 'serve' a dinner - a paper plate meal you have to eat in front of whoever is talking with you (rude) and its usually something I can't eat. So I bring my own snack that I can't eat. I try to close my door for 10 minutes around 6pm to take my meds in peace but usually the parents have a fit so I just wait and take them late. At 7:30 when they announce all parents leave - they don't. Security usually comes around and has to ask them to leave. what a night.

Just one diabetic student this year. We had a chat to be sure she had everything she needs. No problems. Great kid! My big "new kid" is a new teacher who is also diabetic. She was just diagnosed as a Type 1 (she's in her late 40s with two high school children) and just got a pump. So my message is don't just take care of the students - take care of each other, too! I made sure she knew all my procedures and that if there is a problem I've got her back. She was so happy to know she is not alone. This week, check your fellow staff and support each other no matter what the situation is!
