Disappointment

My week hasn't started off on the best note. Yesterday I got a new kid who threw a fit all day, tried to run out the door, tip over wheelchairs, threw chairs, threw toys, attacked another kid for no reason, and then the MOST fun was when he bit me on the leg which left bite marks that lasted until evening (thankfully I had on thick corduroy pants). Well I've also been sick for 2 weeks and THANKFULLY my wonderful new boss whom I *~*LOVE*~* told me to stay home today and get well--
So I'm home today and tomorrow, on lots of medicines---
and I got news that the lady who has been volunteering in my class out of the kindness of her heart, who has been HOPING and praying to get the aide job if the uppity ups in special ed ever get a clue and realize we MUST have another aide in there ever open the position... she has taken another job.
I am SO bummed. I really,really like this lady. She has been volunteering her time and she is SO good with my kids, better than anyone in my class has been before. My aide has been absent for 2 weeks so she has been filling in just to be nice. I've been bribing her with free jewelry and chocolate
I was hoping we could be friends.
But she needs money to live on, obviously.
So ... she's going to be gone in a few days.

This year has started out really rough. I keep waiting for things to get better.
