Strength~ma, smonster. You didn't ask for it, but it's there for you to call on for those around you.
I can handle the Oz Full Monty. I mean, not 'handle' handle.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

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.

Oh, smonster. Good luck with the drama. So many teachable moments, so little time.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good luck, smonster.

the drama is the work, the drama is the work, the drama is the work...
I second WindSparrow's strength booster, smonster. You don't need it, but it's there for you.
The thing I love about Frank McCort's book Teacher Man and the way Cesar Millan works with biting dogs is that each embraces the reality that drama is when stuff really changes.
Bless your heart and the work you do.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I have to trek out to my car and get my bag with all the papers to grade in it.
I think I'll salt the stairs and walk again. I know I'll have to shovel tomorrow, but maybe DH won't kill himself getting into the house today, and there'll be a little less snow to shovel tomorrow.
Maybe.
I think I may park in front of the TV with a cup of hot chocolate and watch episodes of Clean House while grading papers.

I know! I feel kind of bad about it -- "MOR SNOW NEWZ! -- but it's kind of the Big Thing going on right now.
My window is right here by my computer in the office, so I just keep watching it pour down.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Blizardpocalypse isn't supposed to start here until 4 PM. But it sounds like it could be the biggest snowstorm in Chicago history. So, exciting!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
We're still getting lots of sleet tickety-ticking against the windows. No snow yet, but it will be here soon. Apparently, we're right on the edge between the snow and freezing rain in this storm, so we're getting a patchwork of wintry stuff across the St. Louis area.
