Yesterday and Arguing with Fools

 It was an interesting day yesterday.  My boss came in and said that I was not in charge of the classroom yet I had to spend half the day in the other sped room.  Then my co-teacher took 20 more minutes on her prep leaving the kids with nothing to do.  I also took ALL the children to music with no help from the other aide.  The day in the other room went well.  The kids in my classroom are finally realizing that when the other teacher is gone they behave because I am a loving person.  I did everything at lunch, snack and cleaning up everything.  The other co teacher did not show up until an hour and a half that school started.  They still talk behind my back that I can sometimes hear.  I purposely tune it out and focus on the children.  I am also going to do a rebuttal on the walk through.  I found my last one so I am going to show that it is was not a true indication of the room. 

Also after sitting on her bumm I am starting to stand up for myself.  She refuses to let Nelson take more than Mikalia's back pack and when her one charge left the room she blamed me.  I disagreed with her but I kept silent because it is foolish to argue with stupid.  You will never win. 

Proverbs 26:4-14 In-Context

2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim.

3 Guide a horse with a whip, a donkey with a bridle, and a fool with a rod to his back!

4 Don’t answer the foolish arguments of fools, or you will become as foolish as they are.

5 Be sure to answer the foolish arguments of fools, or they will become wise in their own estimation.

6 Trusting a fool to convey a message is like cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison!

7 A proverb in the mouth of a fool is as useless as a paralyzed leg.

8 Honoring a fool is as foolish as tying a stone to a slingshot.

9 A proverb in the mouth of a fool is like a thorny branch brandished by a drunk.

10 An employer who hires a fool or a bystander is like an archer who shoots at random.

11 As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness.

12 There is more hope for fools than for people who think they are wise.

13 The lazy person claims, “There’s a lion on the road! Yes, I’m sure there’s a lion out there!”

14 As a door swings back and forth on its hinges, so the lazy person turns over in bed.

15 Lazy people take food in their hand but don’t even lift it to their mouth.

16 Lazy people consider themselves smarter than seven wise counselors.

The interview went well and the pay is slightly lower than now but it is so much closer.  I also have a lot of opportunity to get continued education.  This is good.  Mike thinks I should grab it. 

Well five more days till spring break.  A lot can happen between then.  I am thankful for my loving children but I am learning to not allow other people's opinions affect me.  Last I am learning not to dwell on it.  That is a sin.
