Bathroom Break??

The school year is officially one week underway and I am feeling extremely incapable overwhelmed. I am not sure if it’s because it’s the beginning of the school year, a new set of students, my new aide, or if it’s just me. But this post isn’t supposed to be about the beginning of school blues; it’s supposed to be about my new aide. This is the first aide that I have had (I went through three last school year) that is way much older than my mother, is SUPER serious, and treats everyone, including me, like a 4 year old. Today was a perfect example of this, here was the conversation:
Aide: Do you need a bathroom break?
Me: No (thinking if I needed to go to the bathroom, I would let you know and go)
Aide: Are you sure you don’t need to go to the bathroom?
Me: Yes, I am sure (I am definitely old enough to know when I need to go to the bathroom by now)
Aide: Well then, do you think it would be okay if I went to the resource room to punch out these circles for you, I might be gone a little while?
Me: That would be fine

Apparently she doesn’t know about the iron bladder that teachers develop…it comes with the job!
