The doctor's are back to saying that Nephew J needs surgery. It's scheduled for Thursday. The blockage wasn't as bad as the doctors in TX thought it was, but they feel it still needs to be dealt with. Please send all the surgery-ma you can spare to Boston on Thursday.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Thrive to spite them
Em is so cute! And I love hearing the progress of Aidan and Kara.
I got to see cute nephew pictures -- so cute and some of the onesies he's wearing are for 6 mth! but he's only 6 weeks! Long torso that one.
I'm outside on my deck with the laptop, I finally figured out how to adjust the brightness level (it was on 20 so no wonder everything looked dim and horrible) but now it's better. Except there are still mosquitos so I may go inside.
Since my cat keeps trying to escape out the front I decided to try supervised balcony time for her... she tried to go inside right away. 19 years as an inside cat I'm not sure what she would even attempt to do outside.
Teppy glad the job situation is a bit better.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Emeline photos have killed me ded with cute.
The drawback to creating your own curriculum and materials and activities and etc.? Copies. Lots and lots of copies.
This. So much this. Combined with not having a planning period this semester is killing me.
guess the kids are too young for e-mail distribution, huh? Or an online forum where they could check for those kinds of things?
I would love to do this. My district is too cheap and too backwards. This place is overflowing with backwoods, hillbilly rednecks.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
That's fantastic news, Tep, but I'm afraid I still hate all their guts for jerking you around in such a shitbaggy way over the last couple of months.
Still, go you for making them suck it and eat all their nasty little words!
This! Very much this!
GG - my friend used blogger to set up a class website for her Year 4 (Grade 3) kids, so kids could get information on what their spelling words were/topics/homework reminders/links to handy websites etc. I mean, not ideal, but free and easy.

Thanks, Fay. I've been looking at some free sites to be able to do some things like this.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What Fay said, GG -- there are tons of teachers using free online tools where they don't have the budget for the proprietary education technology that's usually not as good anyway. I'd probably suggest a pbwiki (which has TONS of templates etc optimized for education, and better ways of handling documents and access control) over a blog, but either way -- if the fuckers are going to be backwards on you, go be forward on them. Or something that means the same but makes sense.

HA! I totally get what you are saying. That is me on a daily basis. They get all grumpy whenever I do something that even seems slightly 'progressive' and then act like they are so supportive when it works and is successful.
One of the biggest problems this year is lack of time. Not having a planning period this semester, and having what amounts to 7 preps as well as 2 productions is killing me.
