One of the things I think I learned at school was how to deal with things I didn't like to do. ( not nessicarily well, but I sort of figured out what the consequences were- and if I wanted to pay them)
Yeah, I don't think I ever actually got that. The first time I ever got a B or higher in every course in a single semester was in college, when I got to pick my own courses. (And I'd taken enough AP exams to place out of most of the requirements -- pretty much the only things I still needed to do were one science, one "Foundations of Western Culture," (I took something like "Women in Victorian Literature,") and one "Non-Western and Latin American Civilizations" (I took "Modern Middle East."))
(I remember getting annoyed that courses in ancient middle eastern history that focused on Jewish history did not count as "non-western," but courses on the same place and same time period that focused on any other group did count as "non-western.")
I have skimmed. I have no meara cause I have no brain.
This afternnon started out with a haircut and ended with a rush trip to my mom's doctor's office. Her nurse rocks for staying late and saving us from a trip to ER and possible hospitalization. Seems mom has peritonitis - a fairly common thing I now learn for dialysis patients on PD. She was in a ton of pain, which they were able to treat and get her started on anti-biotics.
We are now home. I'm exhausted. She is exhausted and still not entirely out of pain. And I leave town tomorrow night for 2 days. Blarg.
Health~ma for mom would be quite appreciated.
All my health~ma are belong to you.
All kinds of health~ma for your mom, Suzi. And big hugs for you.
Man, I have to go to bed. I don't know why it's so hard tonight.
Tons of get-well~ma for you mom, Suz.
And some added try-not-to-stress-too-much~ma for you, sweets.
Man, I have to go to bed. I don't know why it's so hard tonight.
Me too. Both counts.
And some added try-not-to-stress-too-much~ma for you, sweets.
It is like you know me.
But without stress, I would fall apart. Stress is my duct-tape.
Congrats on the job, juliana! Although I haven't met you in person, it sounds great for you.
Happy Birthday, ND, albeit on the late side. I hope you had a great day!
Health ~ma to your mom, Suzi, as well as to all who need it. There seem to be a lot of ill Bitches right now. That's not good.
I have fallen head over heels in love with
Drive.
I know, that last bit should be in Minearverse, but I just had to share the love more widely.

I'm not exactly an advocate of child-led education. I know where my kids would lead me if they could.
Ha!
Interesting discussion, as we've been talking seriously about home-schooling or unschooling. Especially since schools appear to be quite dangerous places...
I tend to be opposed to home or unschooling, because I think the socializing aspects of school, while not always pleasant, are valuable; because I never bought what Rousseau was selling anyway, and you absolutely cannot have a purely savage upbringing in the first world; because I don't plan on not teaching my son, I just plan on supporting and complementing what the school teaches; and because if I were to homeschool him, I would get paid even less than a teacher, which is a pretty amazing feat.
Get well wishes for all you sick Bitches!
Congrats, juliana!
Cheerios:
Happy Birthday, beth!
and *flail*!!! I just found out I'm probably leaving post NEXT WEEK. Aieee....
