Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I got my new tattoo done! Looks good. Am happy!
Yay! I probably missed a discussion about this while I was away. Is it something that's been in the works for a while?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Back of my neck. It's just beautiful. Kristen says she will take a pic.

Can't wait to see it!
I'm trying to remain not angry this week, but:
1. Grace's GI ordered for her to get all of her food over an hour instead of over 2+ which is what is going on. The advantage is that it's more normal for her to get a bolus feed and also she can get more time not attached to something. The doctor on this week at TK has said to not change her feeding order. GRRR. hulk smash.
2. Kids want out of my class because it's too hard (fair enough). Their parents enable them because they just "want their kid to be happy." One called the school board (!!) and the school board member said to move them out of AP. Seriously?
3. So the solution to #2 is that they have renamed my class from AP to Honors for this one child whose parent's complained. But she is remaining in the same class and expected to do the same work. So, essentially she'll do the same work and get LESS credit.
4. There is no way we are ready for academic decathlon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap.

I have to say it's actually hysterical. She came to me with the slip to sign her in and sign her out. Technically right now, we aren't even in A.P. All my kids are taking Literary Analysis this semester. So she went from 2nd period Lit Analysis to 2nd period Honors Lit Analysis. I pointed out that she will have to do the same work etc. And she was crushed. Then I said, "But since everyone else in this room is in regular and you're in Honors, I'll have to have a tougher grading scale for you."
hahahahahahahahahha.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
But wait...AP classes are specific, right? I mean, you have to be accredited to teach them,and won't this fuck up all the OTHER kids' credits? Or is it like a college class that you can take for grad or undergrad credits -- you just add a research paper or two?
