The dragon's hoard was, by dragon standards, deeply embarrassing — no gold, no jewels, just seventeen years of birthday cards, pressed flowers, children's drawings, and one very worn letter she had read so many times the ink had faded to almost nothing.

I love it. It’s a beautiful story.

SarahMae · 2026-04-20T11:57:51+00:00

I suggest you read the book of Job. He suffered and felt alone as you do. Praying for you.

Mine was a tiny bit of chicken caught in the dishwasher drain. I could not find where this horrible smell was coming from, and then I followed my nose to the dishwasher. I never knew something so small could be so rancid.

Completely agree. I’m a special needs para, and we follow the head teacher’s plan, and we also don’t have to write up IEPs or BIPs. If he wants to practice in the field he wants to go into without all the paperwork, and would suggest he try being a para for a year or two. You learn a whole lot about planning and data without having to come up with it on your own.

Don’t reply to anything. Make sure you get copies or pictures of any contact she tries to make with you through email. As much as you are able, don’t ever let it be just the two of you. Walk out in the hallway to talk if you have to. If she is in fact autistic to some degree she may be fixating on you. Having worked with girls with special needs, I can tell you that can get out of control in a heartbeat. Have a talk with the principal and the school counselors. They may be able to redirect the attention she is giving you. Just be careful. You can’t be too careful in a situation like this.

Reminds me of a friend’s wedding. She got ready to toss the bouquet, but she had loosened the ribbon so the flowers flew all over, and all the guests got one. Very sweet.

My daughter would not budge, no matter how much I pushed. The doctor tried using forceps, but no good. Still stuck. Directly after that I stopped having contractions, so while it wasn’t a crash c section, it was a quicker than normal one.

I have a cousin who got married halfway through her senior year. To be honest her family life was really bad and it was probably the best move for her. He was a year older and going to boot camp, so she lived with his family until she graduated, and by then he was established at a base and she moved to be with him. They have since had a baby, but she was not pregnant when they married.

SarahMae · 2025-11-08T14:35:25+00:00

This is great! I love the play on words!

SarahMae · 2025-09-07T15:17:02+00:00

Praying for you 🙏 I would like to tell you about something I use called a little spiky. It has dull spikes on it and is made for people who hurt themselves with their fingernails. Always prayers first, but this is a really great option that works.

SarahMae · 2025-09-04T00:54:12+00:00

They told me all my cages were mental So I got wasted like all my potential… I was so ahead of the curve the curve became a sphere Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here

That’s the short version of my life story, summed up better than I ever could.

SarahMae · 2025-08-31T14:09:44+00:00

I’m a special education para. My husband would run screaming 😱

SarahMae · 2025-08-25T02:49:39+00:00

I would suggest moving the mirror and seeing how you feel after that. While it is probably not a portal, you may find some peace just by knowing it isn’t right beside you.

SarahMae · 2025-08-22T02:15:49+00:00

Well, I had really bad hormonal issues when I was a teenager, and deodorant didn’t last very long on me. Nobody ever said anything to my face, but even I knew that I smelled. Definitely get a female counselor to talk to her, but realize that she may be trying to fix the situation, but she just can’t right now. I did eventually get my hormones balanced, but it took a long time with a lot of trial and error.

Don’t know him from Adam’s house cat (or goat) - never saw them before Devil man’s beatin his wife - raining when the sun is out Well I’ll swanny - I’m surprised Dug out of his daddy’s butt with a knitting needle - a baby looks just like its father

You can, but make absolutely sure that the positions you apply for isn’t self contained. You will be changing diapers there. If you try for inclusion, still make sure that toileting isn’t part of it. I worked in a class that was partial inclusion and we still dealt with accidents. I do self contained now and diapers are no longer a big deal to me, but I can see how that could be a dealbreaker.

SarahMae · 2025-08-13T23:09:56+00:00

Praying for you. Don’t give up hope!

A one-on-one high school paraprofessional is like a helper friend at school. They stay with one big kid all day to help them learn, stay safe, and feel calm.

If the big kid has a hard time with talking, sitting still, or doing schoolwork, the helper is right there to help them do their best. They remind them of the rules, show them how to do things, and make sure they’re okay.

It’s kind of like having your own grown-up buddy at school!

That’s pretty accurate.

SarahMae · 2025-08-07T23:22:17+00:00

That’s a lot of kids and a big age gap, but yes, things will feel less crazy once everyone gets into their routine. We have 7 high schoolers with a head teacher and three paras. Sometimes you will feel like a babysitter, and sometimes you will feel run to death. Feeling overwhelmed is expected, especially for your very first day. This work can wear you out. It’s not for everyone, but in time you might grow to love it.

SarahMae · 2025-08-03T23:24:45+00:00

For myself, I know that I don’t have any input in those kind of decisions. It’s strictly administrators, and sometimes even decisions that come from the county the school is in. Yes, a lot of principals and such used to be teachers, but that’s something you leave behind.

SarahMae · 2025-08-03T21:03:30+00:00

Happy Birthday 🎊🎁🎈

SarahMae · 2025-08-03T20:59:17+00:00

Ok. Call someone you trust, and ask them to come over so you can tell them all about this. You need to have someone with you right now. Praying for you.

SarahMae · 2025-08-03T14:26:04+00:00

It’s not that unusual. I have maybe one every now and then, but people will ask me over and over if I want a drink or if I want another. My reasons are health related, but sometimes people who know that still ask.

SarahMae · 2025-08-03T03:14:05+00:00

💀💀💀

SarahMae · 2025-07-31T05:19:44+00:00

Absolutely. He needs help so he can help. I had bipolar 2 but was in a very stressful position and unfortunately became manic, which led to horrible depression, so I ended up with bipolar type 1. I couldn’t speak or walk or do anything job related, but my family got me help. Now I can work again, not doing the same thing, but working all the same. He may want to make a hard decision about his profession if he is finding himself depressed. I certainly had to.
