Challenging day. Scottie was totally "off" and seemly sick, but finally perked up. Work was stressful juggling multiple issues and demands but that's winy the call it work. What's hard is seeing some of the sausage being made and wondering how much longer we have and there's lots of anxiety within the teams being conveyed through the management team. Meanwhile I felt thrilled that Tommy managed to pull his grade in World History up, yet I let myself get 'triggered' by his ignoring my request that he not have friends over on weekdays when, why not? What else could I want other than that? Nothing. Stupid and controlling on my part, and I regret making a big deal about it but hope I can restore his trust, I'm sure it's hard not knowing what's OK or not. I have to stop being triggered by what I perceive as disrespect and not model it in return.
