So, this week kind of blew by me at top speeds. The first back after a break usually does though.

Monday the husband had his bad day at work, Tuesday stayed home, Wednesday another bad day.

His head boss, the principle of the school, refused to speak to him out of anger that he'd called in the day after getting attacked and forced him to have a meeting with the next step down to "process" his feelings. He'd processed his feelings with me the night before (hence to crying together at 2am) and really didn't want to get into it with someone else after he'd typed a very rational, logical and calm email about what he was feeling, but he didn't have a choice. The second from the top is a woman, one that basically the entire school hates because of the fact that she treats all of the staff like they're dumber than the clients, and their lives mean less to her than the clients. Example- kid can beat up another kid and get sent to jail, kid can beat up a staff (the husband) and go to the movies that night after spending 30 minutes in time away-literally happened in the husband's old class! MESSED UP!

Anyways, she informed him he obviously wasn't good enough at his job and not stable enough to handle these types of kids, she was shocked he'd made it this long (4 months in this class) because she never thought he was good enough. So, she "sentenced" him to be a float for the next two weeks until she can figure out what to do with him. She tried to get him to take another position in a new department opening up, that she "honestly doesn't think will last long", but would be much easier for "someone like him" if he's willing to make a commitment until June.

Do you see why no one likes her? I've met her in person once, and spoke with her ten minutes tops, and was insulted directly twice, and backhandedly four more times. Once when the husband got hurt and I picked him up, she told me it was "too bad I work so little that I could come get him so easily" (at 11am before my first lesson) and that she was "surprised I wasn't more professional since I'm self employed" (I'd come straight from the shower after working out in a hoodie, jeans, ponytail and no makeup). Then continued to make comments about "couples like us" like young married people who actually care about each other and didn't just get married cause the bride was pregnant are a bad thing.

Yeah, jerk, though I have a few other words that would easily describe her that I refuse to say out loud or type if you know what I mean.

Anyways, he's floating from class to class as a back-up, sub, relief person, and it is a million times easier than his normal position, and less dangerous because kids rarely try anything on the "new guy" because they don't know how strong he is.

So, it's been an easier week, just trying to get by the annoyance of it all.

On another note, I've been telling my students I'm leaving this week, it's not easy, not by any standards and I'll probably re-cap you on that once I'm done this weekend.

Prayers would be great, it's been a crazy, stressful, emotional week around here.
