Hey Babe!!!

I'm wiped...Sorry I'm not feeling very profound tonight...just got my period so my body feels like it got beat up. I guess you are probably facing the same deal, eh...yours should be due any moment now. It knocks you for a loop on a good day, let alone with the utter exhaustion you are feeling due to your stroke right now. You have my empathy, my love.

 

Got a ton of work done today at school which was good. I didn't work out like I thought I would because I was so nauseous and tired this morning (took a nap instead) but I got to the office around noon and got a lot of teaching stuff out of the way so I'm taken care of through next week... :Clap-Hands:

 

I went to a parent orientation at Margaret's school...I like her teacher...she is very nice and I like her philosophies about education and the classroom. I think this should be a good year for her at school...FINALLY!

 

Sam got in trouble at school again...using his hands...sigh. Trying to keep him under control... I punished him when we got home. NO TV and he had to stand in a time out for a while. HE's only 4 so there's only so much you can do to him, you know? But I spoke sternly with him and told him he was hurting his teacher's body and her feelings...I think that got to him. I'm going to try to set up a reward system of some sort...good days gets a special treat...bad days means no treat. We'll see how it goes...I think he'll calm down eventually but right now I think things are just upsetting and new to him.

 

Tonight he wanted me to tell you he loves you and wants you to get better soon. OH...and he still wants to go to a hotel with you!! LOL!!!! He misses you...a lot...

 

I am going to just pass out tonight...as I said, not feeling profound and I have to teach tomorrow morning.

 

I love you, I think of you every moment of the day...I want you to get better!! Sweet dreams and I am holding you in my arms!!!

 

XOXOXO

When my grandson was younger we set up a couple reward baskets

one for daily if he got thru school with no time outs or problems... small things in the basket from envelpes with 25 cents, a favorite teat, a hot wheel car. then a basket for Friday if the whole week was good, with a choice of a large reward or treat. It really worked well and was an incentive to try harder to go for the week basket.

When I think about it, reward works better for me too!! I'd rather work to do better and get rewarded than to think about getting in trouble!! I think the reward system also gives a little one a chance to learn to think before acting. We all need to learn that when we are young and many times we don't.

 

Great blog!!!

Thanks...that's what I was thinking...I'd rather reward positive behaviors than punish all the time...its discouraging!

 

Thanks for the support!!!!!!!
