I cannot say much about work

Because I work with physically and mentally handicapped children and they are not my own, I cannot legally or morally say much. Just some days.
Oh, and I cannot say much about their familis either.
Suffice it to say two of the three I worked with yesterday had complicated days.
I really do not look for today to be any better.
Temperatures in the twenties F. right now. Headed up to 50 something this afternoon. Shining sun always helps.
I have to catch the bus now.

Back in the days of bubblews and blogjob I used to do the landlady posts, That is when you find out which tenants creeps the landladies doings online. They would get mad at me. 
, I guess they knew I was talking about them without saying their name.

If the shoe fits, wear it, I guess. I am not sure the families with which I am involved have the energy or resources to be online. I am sure that underlies some of the issues.

It is not easy on the days when I would rather go back to bed and sleep some more. As coworkers we work in an understanding team.

@GardenGerty At least you seem to have good relationships with your coworkers, that is very important.

With a sunshiny afternoon and horses to care for and work with we had a pretty good day.

Cold and the handicapped. You are a saint. I sure could not do it. I just don't have the patience anymore.

Nope, not a saint. One of my kiddos even told me today that I talk too loud and too much.Gave me some insight and actually helped the day. I needed a job, needed to get out of the house. This is what I know how to do.

It takes very special people to work with the types of children you work with. I have utmost respect for you for doing it. I would not be able to handle it. I used to work as an instructional aide (as well as a one-on-one assistant for a boy with behavioral problems) with elementary school students, and I saw what the aides working with the special needs students went through. I loved working one-on-one with the one little boy, but he sure was a challenge.

Your last sentence sums it up perfectly. What do you do now?

It actually was better. I have a feeling that I have friends praying for me.

Hope you have a good day. Working with physically and mentally challenged children can be frustrating and rewarding at the same time.

Yes, I do. I am one of these people who wants to know the "why" of everything, too.
