Crazy Weekend at work...

Let me see, where to begin??? How about Saturday... When I got to work, Polly (the weekend supervisor) asked me if I would mind going to work in the brain injury unit instead of the one I was scheduled for. I went because I knew that I didn't like the unit I was scheduled for for first shift. When I got to Pathways, the nurses said, "You will be behavior tech on Life Skills today." I though, Oh My Gosh! I had never done that, but it was not an 8hr shift. Instead it was a 12 hour shift, locked on a unit with people who are known to have behavior problems. On a normal basis, they will only put someone they have formally trained to be a bt over there. Not saturday. At about 2pm, Polly came over and said that Kim had called off for Sunday too, and would I do the first 8 hours of my day on that unit again for Sunday. I said I would do that, then on Sunday, she conned me into staying over there for the next four hours also. Let me tell you by the time I got home on Sunday night, I thought I needed to be admitted into a psych ward. Those people without understanding what they had done, had driven me completely nuts! I couldn't believe how easy it was for them to do. Maddie had a good weekend. Ryan said she just walked around the house yelling my name! She missed Mommy! Kenzie was a good girl he said. They did a great job staying home with Daddy. This is the first weekend they both have been ok and knew that Mommy would come home after she got off of work. Today, Kenzie got up and got ready for school no problems. She got on the bus and off to school she went. When she got home, she said, "Mommy, I didn't sit in the thinking chair and Mrs. Brittany is happy!" I took this to mean that she didn't have a bad day today like she did on Thursday. At about 4pm, I was working on a few things, and saw my e mail notification thing pop up, so I checked to see what I had. It was from Brittany, she said "Kenzie had an excellent day today." I was so relieved. I guess that does it for now. Hope to have more good news as the week goes on.
Love,
Dawnie

School is OUT!!!

Today was bittersweet for me.  I am happy its summer break, but that means we only have 2 years before we have a MIDDLESCHOOLER!  I cant believe we are that close already!  Both girls had a great day.  I got soaked walking to get Madispn, then the rain slacked off enough for me to have buckets of sweat rolling into my eyes!  It has been so humid here that i sweat as soon as i go outside let alone walk the more than 1/2 mile to her school.  We are starting a new walking track tomorrow... not sure how far but its gonna be fun to see

sad but true

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore Because the word "God" is mentioned...... A kid in Arizona wrote the attached NEW School prayer: Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd. If Scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights. And anytime my head I bow Becomes a Federal matter now. Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene. The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice. For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all. In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state. We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks. They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book makes me liable. We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,...
