I work as a house mother to 8 boys ages 8-14, the state of Massachusetts have taken these boys from their parents and due to their ( children) aggressive behaviors they are put in a residential program under my care. I love my job most of the time , I used to have to hold them in safe restraints, now i don't have enough strengh to do so. these kids have been abused by their parents , phyically,sexual, & mentally ...so they carry a lot of anger in which I try to teach them , we play with the playdoh as a helpful stress relief aid. one moment these kids are good as gold , but when they are having melt downs i'm usually the target . by the way , I too am I child from then abusive home peace, gayle whom is out trying to catch rainbows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I'm sorry you had a bad day, Gayle. When you're in pain all over it puts your emotions on the edge of a razor blade and it doesn't take much to fall off. You work with kids? I'm a home licensed daycare provider. I can go in the bathroom and fall apart while one of my teens watches the kids and then I can come back out and play with playdough the rest of the afternoon and feel better. Do you have any playdough? Just kidding. laura rainbowgayle@... wrote: Gosh, i wish i was feeling better. I went into work and my whole body was screaming! I got very emotional towards one of the boys whem i take care of , he gave me attitude and i totally fell apart saying " i can't do this today, i'm not feeling right " i started to feel as if i was going to vomit. so once when the kids went back to school I went to my supervisor and told him that there was no way i could stay at work . I came home and slept the day away . I did talk to my doctor earlier this afternoon, she's calling in a med for me and said that she will write a note if I need one for work . however the blood results that she took all didn't come back , just my sugar levels (i'm a type 2 diabetic) seems that i'm highly allergic to one of the meds i've been taking " gloupage " it has " sulfa " in it .. yesterday all I did was sleep , it seem that even if I tried to put toothpicks in my eye lids they would had slam shut any ways .so now i must again climb into my bed (soft flannel sheets ) are calling me toodles for now ......oh i'm just wondering if this group has a chat room that we use? peace, toodles for now , Gayle in MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
