You ever have one of those days were you just know you shouldn't get out of bed.....but do anyway and it's all just down hill from there.....well welcome to my day.I get to work to find that one of my students has been committed into a pysciatric hospital. I come to find out he has tried to kill himself twice this month (remember I have first graders) A couple of weeks ago he tried to jump out of a window and this past weekend he tried to hang himself. He came to school on monday with rope burns on his neck. I hurt so bad for this kid. Can you imagine what is happening to a 6 year old that he wants to kill himself???? I have been crying all day.Then I come home to find out(his mom and dad came to talk to me to tell me this) billy has lost a job he started last week because he failed a drug test (surprise, surprise) He was getting a one week paycheck because he worked for a week prior to this, and got paid yesteday. His dad told him he was to give me his check.....well guess who showed up at his parents house at 2:30 a.m. drunk as all get out. He drank his entire check away! We all discussed it tonight and everyone is cutting him completely off. No giving him money, no talking to him, and his parents are not going to let him stay there at all..... I can't believe it has come to this....although I am not surprised. I have completely cut him out of mine and eli's life and now he is losig his mom,dad, and sister. (he was offered rehab but he refused he doens't think he has a problem)Also talked to my mom and dad and pretty much had to cancel plans to go home to see them (haven't been home since christmas and was planning to go for easter) but gas is going to be at almost 4.00 a gallon here by them (it was 3.50) today. Now that I am a single mom I just can't afford to spend that kind of money in gas (they are in central PA, I am in ohio) They are going to try to come visit us soon, but that sucks big time. oh and my whole weekend is already gone....hair appointment and wedding on saturday, and a wedding shower on sunday...OH JOY!Ok...I am done being a whiney baby. On the bright side...my baby girl used the potty 2 twice yesterday on her own and tried a couple of times today. She hates wearing a diaper so hopefully this potty training thing is going to come a lot sooner than I excepted.

sorry this is going on right now for you Jenn. Its not fair to you or Elijanna cause I am sure she senses something is going on. Take care of you and her before anything, you two are the most important. Too bad for Billy, one day he will regred all of it, but it will be too late.I am also so sorry to hear about the little boy in your class. I can't believe a 6 year old knows about such horrible things. I will pray for him.

sorry you had such a bad day, but I'm so glad Eli is potty training...Abby has NO INTEREST and since I have already potty trained 2, I am not rushing her and figure, eventually she will let me know when she is ready....and I feel so bad for that little boy...I hope he gets the help he needs {since Ben is a 1st grader, I can;t imagine my littl eguy going through that}...hope your day tomorrow is much better {{{HUGS}}}

On the potty training side, I'm envious... Jonathan's older then Eli, isn't he... It's a boy thing - they're always late...
