Oh, Kansas...

Now today it was 64 degrees outside. What sense does that make? It was also ridiculously windy. Tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 30s. I understand that Kansas is indecisive and I am patiently waiting for it to decide to be warm, like it does (eventually) every year.

In other news, I am actually reading my textbooks for once. What the heck is that about? Maybe it will wear off as the semester goes on, who knows. I bought my books online and I'm pretty sure I saved some money. Too bad several of my professors demanded that we buy brand new editions of our books. Bummer.

One of my kids at work has been acting really strange lately. He's been overly aggressive and angry, and always looks sad. He hasn't smiled very much at all. I told him it was time to go today and he said, "Where?" and I said, "Home." and he said, "I hate going home." I asked him why but he wouldn't respond. I talked to my boss about it but she didn't seem to care very much and I'm pretty sure she's not going to say anything to his parents. He said something a few weeks ago about wanting to jump off a roof. I am going to keep pestering my boss until she does something. I made a note for his classroom teacher so maybe she'll talk to his parents. I never get to see the parents or else I would do it myself. He's a good kid and I don't want anything to happen to him. I just wish I could protect all these kids from how harsh life can be...I know I can't do that, but I will at least try to figure out ways for them to enjoy the little time we have together. Maybe our after school time can be the positive side of their days.
