'Underneath'
Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yay baby!
Baby! Pictures! Ellie pictures, too!
Yep. I think that's all I've got. I just got home from work. Back to School Night kills me ded. 14 hours is TOO LONG to be at school.
14 hours is TOO LONG to be at school.
WORD. Although for us it was only 12, and really we could have had a couple hours off. Did your parents actually show up? And by "your parents," of course, I don't actually mean YOUR parents.
Probably about half of them did. You?
About 10.
Sigh. I'm sorry, sweetie. You're working in a school without a lot of parental support, from what I've gathered.
Kristin, where is your tag from? I may need it as a mantra.
Not entirely -- I mean, the parents care a lot. But they also work a lot, and they rely on their kids to keep them informed, and I think in some cases the kids just didn't tell the parents. And a lot of the parents rely on the kids to translate -- one girl did bring her mother, and proceeded to give me attitude during Back to School Night, in front of her mother, because she knew perfectly well her mother wouldn't understand. She's on my list of people to ask our parent liaison to call, but the list is so long... I've been to a bunch of parent conferences, and I have one tomorrow (the second in three weeks about the same girl, and unlikely to be much more help this time than the last), and some of them involve parents who are ready and willing to send their children to Mexico or Guatemala to live with relatives and go to REALLY strict schools if they don't behave. It's just so hard for the kids to fight the peer culture of the school, which is that goofing off and giving attitude is the normal thing to do.
Um... right. What was the question again?
Oh Em. The question isn't important. The answer is how much you rock despite difficult circumstances.
Daisy, it's from LA Story, one of my all-time favorite movies.
