The two meetings that were scheduled for today went pretty well. I think I surprised my superiors with how professional I could conduct myself. The meeting with that parent that always wants to scream, "Lawsuit!" went the best. There were no major problems. I sat between the two loose cannons. The speech teacher, whom I was once the mentor for, asked me to punch her if she said anything objectionable. The regular ed teacher, who has such a huge resentment against the mother for how badly she has treated everyone, was calm, cool, and collected. I was proud of all of us. The second meeting went on as scheduled without the parent present, per her request. I'm wiped out mentally but I'm feeling pretty good about work.

Finances are my major concern right now. I really need someone to sit down with me to figure things out. I'm caught up in some things but still behind in others. It's not looking rosy to me. You know what I mean?
