Well I've been working for over a week now. I finish in the area I'm at on Friday and move on to another area for a month. It's been fun. It's hard leaving my little man though. He cries and even though I know he stops after I leave it still breaks my heart. Yesterday when I asked if he wanted to go bye bye he said "no, no" and ran away. Usually he likes to go places but I'm pretty sure he knew what was going to happen.
And he's been a little turkey lately. He's been having more temper tantrums and stuff. The other day when he wasn't doing what I asked I started to count I said "One..." and he said "oo fee!". And then yesterday when he started to do something he wasn't supposed to he said "un, oo, ee!" before I had a chance to start counting.
On another note. I finished my class. I now have completed all the required credits to graduate with my AAS degree. (People who've read the comments on the last post will already know this) I am now more qualified (according to Bush) to be a teacher's assistant than someone who has been doing it for 15 years but doesn't have that "degree" even though my degree was not specialized in any area of study, let alone education. Oh well that's a post for another day.

Congrats again Cassie! Glad work is going well for you. Try not to stress over Jack, he's a clever little one who is just testing you, it will be worth it in the long term :)
Congratulations, Cassie! And an AAS is a "real" degree--it's the first one I got, and I was glad I walked, if for no other reason than to give my family an excuse to cheer for me.
Well done!
I didn't walk for my graduation. Of course, the circumstances were different: my roommate got married that day and I was a bridesmade.
You don't have an excuse, so get your hiney in line with the rest of your fellow robe-wearers and celebrate your achievement!
As for Jack, yes, it is hard on both of you, but he will get used to it and, eventually, look forward to it when it becomes part of his routine. (In the meantime, though, act as cheerfully as possible so he can see that Mommy likes these people, so it's OK for him to like them, too--easier said than done, of course, when your little on is clinging to your leg crying.)
Now, see? Many people agree with me and think the same thing. And remember, your son's crying is nothing compared to your niece's fits. She threw some good ones when we started taking her to Daycare, starting with getting in the car!
Walk and get your degree. Let everyone celebrate your graduation. It's all about you for the day, that's a good thing.
Greetings Cassie!
Your brother (who led me here) will hate me for saying this but my feeling is that if you'd rather not walk - don't.
Congrats on the degree - WHICH by the way is a completely valid and REAL degree and one you should be quite proud of.
I went as far as 48 credits before having such horrific panic attacks that I could no longer attend classes. I could kick myself for never returning (I'm better now, for the most part).
Without even knowing you at all, I'm proud of you that you set your mind to this and did it. Good for you!
Walk or no walk - you've already earned your degree and you'll get it either way. :)
Thanks everyone! I am glad that I got it all done. And Jack will be fine, I know. I've been spending some time "rough housing", if you can call it that, with him a little in the evenings and it seems to be helping. It lets him get rid of some of that negative energy while laughing and running around.
I'm going to walk, I've decided if everyone wants to celebrate with me I should count myself lucky that I have people who care about me and let myself celebrate too.
Check out this book with stickers: "The Good-bye Game." It might help with separation.
