Em, are you cheating on Education with Math?

antibiotics for two different kids and for three different asthma meds, two nebulized and one oral

ACK! Parenting is more complex than the frickin' brochure claimed!

I think that it would be best to combine pre-algebra, Algebra I, and Algebra II into a two-year sequence, then follow that with geometry, and then trig and pre-calc, then calculus.

I think there should be multiple tracks. With HS science classes, if physics wasn't your bag you could at least think, maybe biology will be more interesting. Deciding to take algebra2/trig in 10th grade meant I had to take pre-cal in 11th grade, and I had to take calculus in 12th grade. Well, or fail completely and retake a class, but that wasn't an appealing option. When I rule the world, there will be the standard algebra-trig-calc track, or you can take stuff like stats, logic, & economics instead. Which is shit more people should know, anyway.

Plus, then the people who are taking algebra would either want to be there, or could comfort themselves by thinking, "At least it isn't statistics." Knowing you have a choice makes a difference, even if you're only choosing the lesser evil.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Her heart belongs to Education but sometimes Math just smiles that certain way and runs its fingers...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

My nyquil just kicked in.

Whee!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Math is hard.

A sneeze woke me. Now I have to play "where'd the snot go?" and do a search so when I go back to bed I don't get a faceful of boogies on my pillow.

Does anyone still want to talk about eggs?

I've skipped a couple of hundreds of posts, to ask: am I correct in remembering that today is Emma's first birthday?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Allyson has the boogie fever. She caught it from that boogie woogie bugle boy, and now she's bugling too.

My being woken up by coughing that sounds like a seal barking seems so much better now. It's all in how you look at it.

Em is 1 today! Happy Birthday MiraclePrincess!

Happy Birthday, Em!

I don't know what woke me up.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Kim Possible was renewed, after having been cancelled by Disney.
