My OJ spilled this morning--I was distracted, I swear!
Buffy: How was school today? Dawn: The usual. A big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
At least we're not penguins, because then we'd have to worry about being eaten by walruses as well....

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We had some flurries this morning, but nothing major. We'll see what comes next.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
it would have been nice to go one week before getting a behavior report from afterschool.
I am horrified of how he acts toward me once he has gotten a reprimand from the teacher - it's something I need to get over my worries of "oh how this much look to the other parents", but I know how it would look to me, he lashes out at me verbally, talks back, makes me wait out in the cold while he refuses to come home - he is all puffed up chest and bravado and "that teacher better mind her own, she can't tell me what to do.", "you don't make the rules, I will do whatever I want and you can't stop me.".
I mean compared to the verbal garbage I have gotten in the past that is nothing, but in front of other parents and kids, the level of disrespect is not what is often displayed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It is so incredibly depressing that I arrived here when it was dark, and it will be dark again when I leave. Bah, winter.
And I'm going home this weekend, when home will be in the middle of a historic cold snap.

Because books.
Oh msbelle, I sympathize. And I know it's hard to remember, but the other parents probably witness plenty of questionable behavior from their own kids. I think once you're a parent, you really get that you can't judge what anyone else is going through with their kids, because you know how hard it can be, in so many different ways.

Ugh msbelle, s'not fun sometimes.

Now tagless for your comfort.
msbelle, when the worst behavior happens with my kids in public, I usually get tunnel vision--I can't even look at other parents to gauge their reaction. I'm sort of thankful because that's stuff I just don't need.
The disrespect thing kills be the most. As much as we sweat and sacrifice for our kids, they just don't get it and can really treat us like shit.
But then they have the nerve to look cute and save their asses.
