It's hard. I'm student teaching right now and trying to make a good impression and all that.
Oh, honey. I'm so glad you stayed home, today. Stay home tomorrow, too. People make such a better impression when they don't have freaking pneumonia.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

This is true. Particularly because I can barely talk right now. My voice has gone kaput because of all the coughing. Also, my students can sense my physical weakness and are taking advantage.
Seriously, I assigned 4 classes an essay on Tuesday to be completed for homework and due on Wednesday. Out of my 110-ish students, 30 turned them in. Thirty.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
If you were writing to someone with a disability to tell them you had two sick people at home, would you use the word "cripples"? I'm not upset or angry, it just struck me as an odd word choice to use.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I had a totally romantical/lovey dovey (but not sexual, really) dream about Dwayne from Little Miss Sunshine last night. Except, he was this really odd hybrid between Dwayne and one of my exes.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Teppy, that's the best kind of doomed!
I just got back from visiting a preschool. I liked it. We can even afford it. It's all free-play learning and they don't even require potty training for 3 year olds. It appeals to my inner hippie.
Now to fill out the registration and hope there's a spot for Owen.

I agree it's an odd word choice. I suppose the bright side, if you can call it that, is that your friend doesn't equate you and your disability with "cripple." If s/he did, I'm certain s/he wouldn't have used that word.

How old is the person using the word?

Very good point.

Our wings are not tired.
Awww, Teppy is soooo doomed. That is just so sweet.
Like I said, selfish = me. Especially when it comes to sleep and/or not having to clean up bodily fluids.
Snuggles with AmyLiz.
Looks sternly at ChiKat... take care of yourself missy. You won't do those students any good if you are in the hospital.
Yay for a good preschool! It makes such a difference.
I have to do something about Bobby's hearing again. I hope it is just wax or something. He was hearing delayed and speech delayed. Now years later he flunked his hearing tests, twice and they sent a note home. I'll do the drops and flushing thing this weekend and send him for the big hearing test next week. justwaxjustwaxjustwax

That sounds perfect! Damn my not-living-in-Ohio-ness.
Sara is all of a sudden demanding to go to preschool. Every. Day. She wants to "paint pictures and have snack and run around and paint pictures and..." So cute. I've been telling her she has to use the potty all the time before she can go, and she's much more motivated now.
Also, the promise of "big girl underwear" is pretty tempting, I think,
