In a terrible mood-Vent

Ugh I am just in a funk! Work was bad today...I had 2 kids go at each other and one had bad scratches all over his face. One kid I just cannot get through to and I have no idea what to do, I've asked for help and everyone said they will help but no one has. So when this happened today I get the blame even though I am trying but don't know what else to do! (Did I mention this kid is 4 YEARS OLD and no one knows what to do with him...he tells me he is going to kill me everyday)

My dog is the biggest freak ever and is afraid of anything and everything. So when the house creaked today she decided to diver under my feet as I was walking causing me to trip.

I'm trying to finish my class christmas presents and I cut myself up doing it so I am bleeding as I write this

DH was trying to tell me all about my day as I clean the kitchen (another crappy job) and we only have a galley kitchen so I am walking into him the whole time.

All of this in a 2 1/2 hour period. I know oh woe is me but I just want a vacation!! Sorry I just had to vent!!!!! I hope to have  a better evening!

Re: In a terrible mood-Vent

  • Aw!  I'm sorry you are having a bad day!  Try to look at the bright side... there is only a few more days until Christmas and you will get to relax and enjoy the company of your new husband!

    Regarding the unruly child, have you talked to his parents or the principal of your school?  It sounds like he needs to be further disiplined.

  • I have talked to both his mom and our administrators. Mom says it is because he is in a single parent home so all he gets its constant attention, when it a group of 16 kids he has no idea how to handle it (that is pretty much the deal too...he thrives on attention)

    Since he thrives on attention, he loves going to the office and being the only kid in there. He will throw a bigger fit just to be sent to the office. So now, they don't want him sent there so I get to deal with him!

    On any other day all of this would have not have bothered me....just one of those days! Hubby said he would fold laundry for me so that made me happy :-)

  • I'm having one of those days too.  I just texted DH that I needed him today (I haven't heard from him all day) and he responded "I've been really busy.  I love you!" and I almost started crying because my bad mood/one of those days mind took the text as "I'm too busy for you."  Goodness.  Here's to a GREAT night!

  • Aw cheer up!! Just look at it this way, tomorrow WILL be a better day. Get that mindset and I promise it will be better. On the unruly child, I would suggest giving them special "jobs" in the classroom, pushing in chairs, wiping tables, helping other kids, passing out things, etc. Maybe if he feels like he has a place and gets attention by doing good things, he wouldnt be such a hassle. This is prob something you've already tried but just thought I'd throw it out there in case!

  • Oh I SO had a crappy day yesterday, had a little cry fest in my car after work.... and then went to kick boxing class.  Punching and kicking things makes me feel better, is that bad??? Big Smile  I agree with the special jobs.  AND I hear ya on the gally kitchen!  So annoying......   Deep breath!  Tomorrow is a new day! 
  • Ugh I had a bad day too. First thing this morning my mom calls and we get into an argument. So then after I calm down I call and try to smooth things over and we get into another argument. Both of which upset me and made me late getting out the door. Then I had to go to the bank, bring hubby dinner (he's working until midnight) and return a movie at redbox...thats it 3 things all on the same road, should have taken me 20 minutes TOPS. Nope 2 hours and 30 minutes!!! Traffic was insane. Plus the roads are still all icy from the big snow over the weekend. So that put me late to go to dinner to meet my friend who was in town just for the day and I haven't seen her in 6 years...(plus it was her and her man and I had to go w/o DH so I was already bummed and stressed b/c I'd never driven to this restaurant before and I always get lost). So DH told me it would take 15min to get to the place we were eating and I thought I will leave 30min early just to be safe bc of the traffic. Yeah then I got lost ended up on the side the road crying was an hour late meeting them and then they had to go like 30min later. I was so sad we didn't have more time to catch up plus I felt like a jerk b/c they made plans to come see me, waited for me for an hour, brought me a wedding present, and paid for my meal and I was the jerk who made them wait forever! Ok vent over. I think we all need to have a drink!
  • Lets just all fly to Vegas and get wasted and go clubbin!   yes... :)
  • I bet if the school recommended putting him in special ed, he and his mother would find a way to fix the situation.  My friend is a special ed teacher in Brooklyn, and your special one sounds far worse than any of her students.  Maybe I should hook you two up to talk suggestions.

  • I had a terrible day at work today too.  I guess my boss thinks I'm a mind-reader... I wish I could send him to the principal's office!  Sometimes I wish I drank - I feel like it would have been a nice release tonight. :)  Hopefully tomorrow will be better.  It's my last day before Christmas break, so it's gotta be, right?!

  • Vegas sounds like an AMAZING plan!!!

    He seems to be on his way to special ed....I have 5 at-risk students and he is one of them. He has horrible anger issues.  He literally walks in my room, pushes everything off of the shelves and then punches the walls. I'm like...you've been here for 30 seconds!! My aid is no help, I am in the process of getting a new one.

    Yes....Vegas seems like a good choice now

    Hope everyone has a better Wednesday!!! Drinks

    (Did I mention this kid is 4 YEARS OLD and no one knows what to do with him...he tells me he is going to kill me everyday)

    I'm sorry, but a child like that needs psychological help.  Therapy of some sort.

    And what a cop out for the mom to give an excuse like that!  DISCIPLINE YOUR CHILD!!!  How can people do such a disservice to their children by not teaching them how to behave!?!?! 

    My 5-year-old daugther is the type that thrives on attention.  If she's not getting enough positive attention, she will try for the negative.  So, I have to be different with her than I do my 4-year-old son.  That's just part of parenting.  But THIS hellion of a child is in need of some serious help.  If something isn't done at this young age, he could end up being a next generation school shooter.  And that's no lie.
