Guys, for a little pespective on how you all don't suck as parents? I'm FINALLY able to snatch a little time on the net today (HI!!!). This week, a students was killed in a drive by Sunday night, two girls cousins students ran away from their uber-strict parents and are still missing, and another student was missing Sunday night (is back and ok). And on Wednesday, one of my favorite students stayed home with her baby AND the baby of another 16 year old girl whose baby daddy kidnapped her the night before and was on the way over to the house the next day so I had to call the police from school to go over, and now this boys has threatened both girls.
And I have been sick.
This week has SUCKED. And you know what? You guys aren't bad parents, so don't beat yourselves up too bad.
Trudy, the most important question, though, is -- does Nice Boy like carrots?
Nice Boy works in the same neighborhood that I do and we're going to go to the green market together if he can actually take lunch on a Wednesday and THEN WE'LL KNOW!!!!!!
squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Joni Mitchell's Twisted:
Love that song. Love the Better Midler version of it, too.
Good gods, Erin. That's a week, all right.

Jesus, Erin. That's seriously fucked up. How are YOU doing?
Looking seriously forward to doing nothing tonight and sleeping in tomorow. It's been a stressful week. But I also have a metric fuckload of schoolwork to do -- it just never seems to stop. I can't wait till Xmas break. When I will adapt "Romeo and Juliet" into Romeo and Juliet: Kansas City 2007 version for the spring play. Which will actually be pretty fun, I think.
In brighter news, I have bookcases for my classroom and a crapload of books to organize into a library next week!
And I showed "Welcome to the Hellmouth" to my 1st and 3rd hours, because so many students were at the funeral that I didn't want to do anything new.
Happies to Sail!
That's quite a fucked up week, Erin.
Hmmm, inner tape. Lately it's mostly, "Do you want kids? If you do, DECIDE RIGHT THE FUCK NOW! You are getting old and even though you'd adopt, you don't want to be some old lady with a little kid. So what's it gonna be? Huh? Huh? HUH????!!!!"
