Today i worked from 3-6 and had a lot of 5/6th graders talking about what they are learning in their health classes (very triggering for me) so i spent a lot of time tyring to keep their talk appropriate, telling them this is not health class - since they argued with me. I didn't have a panic attack, or switch. But i did mess up some paperwork and also @_@ left a little k or 1st grader outside at 5:30 when we went in to the computer lab. He joined us about 5 minutes later, but i have *never* ever forgotten a kid before. not ever. in my 20 years with kids. I am shocked. No harm came to him. but that is so not the point... i forgot him!! @_@ I knew he was there just minutes before, was watching him (separate from the other big kids) but I hurried them in because i felt i was losing me... it was more of mini fugues.... I knew getting the big kids on the computer would get them to stop that kind of talk. It still didn't change my personality - but it really concerns me that I forgot a kid. =( that those fugues caused me to lose him in that moment. That can't happen again.
