Yep, I am indeed still alive. The students haven't drug my bloated corpse into the back of the library to never be seen again. Yet.
The school job is certainly keeping me busy and I am usually worn out at the end of the day. But this job isn't exactly what I envisioned when I started in August. For the past few weeks, and likely for the rest of the school year, I have been working as a one-on-one student assistant. I work with one student all day long, every day.
Lucky for me he is a great kid. Unlucky for him, he sees me all day long, every school day. He has a complicated medical history that makes it necessary for staff to always have "eyes on". And it just so happens that those eyes are mine 95% of the time.
In the past I have worked with loads of kids with behavioral, physical, emotional, medical and whatever-other issues but this is the first time that I have spent this much time working one-on-one with a specific kid.
Anyways, we are a few weeks into the new job duties and so far, so good.
In other family news, Flag football seaason is almost over. High school football is nearly over. The University of Texas Longhorns football team has tanked for the season. And then some other stiff happened last week, too.

Oh yeah, we had pot roast for dinner last night.
Now you are up to date.
I'm glad someone is finally paying you to work, but I really really liked it when you did the pro bono domestic thing. Maybe because I knew someone else as samrt and groovy as me was cleaning house too.
