communication
i made several phone calls home yesterday after playing enforcer for what seemed like the entire day. started this morning off with an intense parent-teacher-student conference that ended decently and i was totally unprepped for the day, but managed to pull it off. things were a bit better. i remembered to show some empahty and compassion and smoothed over some rough edges. also a couple of those phone calls home last night were positive and that helped. got to do more of those. got to let 'em know i care.
