'Why We Fight'


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.

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?

CJ is in elementary - 6th grade - and is expected to go online each night for homework.

Unfortunately, I can't do that. I teach in a low income district and many of my students don't own computers let alone have internet access. Shoot, some of them don't even have phones.

I do have a web page on my school's site and I put in homework and some downloadable stuff, but it isn't used very much.

Our school does have an email listserv, but we also have to send everything home via hard copy (written in both English and Spanish).

Combined with not having a planning period this semester is killing me.

Seriously. I have one planning period and it sucks (I teach 6 classes and one 30 minute advisory period). I can't imagine not having one at all.

having what amounts to 7 preps as well as 2 productions is killing me.

Holy crap. I have 4 preps and will do 3 productions this year. And I thought I was busy.

Just got home from ordering t-shirts for the fall show, getting a pedi and my brows waxed, and going out for Mexican food with the vocal music teacher (my co-teacher). It was a lovely afternoon/evening.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Teppy, I'm glad for your bosses noticing that your work deserves to be compensated better. But I do hope you get free of them soon.

sj, much surgery~ma for the little one.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I talked to T again and then talked to J's mom. The surgery is going to be open heart surgery (rather than using some other method to clear the blockage), and I think I will be able to visit J in the hospital on Saturday or Sunday. I'm so worried, but I'm going to try to concentrate on what I can bring to spoil him instead.

Thanks Windsparrow and Nora. The brave little dude is currently running around his hotel room like a crazy man because he had to be still for tests all day.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I teach in a low income district and many of my students don't own computers let alone have internet access. Shoot, some of them don't even have phones.

I face a lot of this, too.

And the 2 productions are just for this semester. Next semester will bring 2 more and one of those is a musical.

I'm totally taking Friday off for my mental health, and to help Hub get my car ready for a show this weekend.

Dude. Seriously? 4 shows? In a year? Dude.

The 3 I do are all musicals, but it's middle school. And, as a friend reminds me 2 weeks before opening and the show sucks, I could put the kids on stage and have them do nothing but fart and their parents would be proud.

You need it. I'm taking Friday off to go to the EdTA conference. It's here (Chicago), so I can easily make it.

All kinds of surgery ~ma to your nephew and calm ~ma to you, sj.
