Yeah, that's where I'm having a throwdown with my hs chem teacher. Mother of boys! She's all hurt that being a mandated reporter, telling your boss is insufficient. I'm coming down hard... -er, tomorrow. Bed now.

Though I did turn my son into a bar tender cause I couldn't reach the bottle. Bad-mom.
Pfft! Unless you also poured a shot of Fernet down your son's throat, you're coping with stress while also teaching CJ valuable bar tending skills. I say awesome-mom.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Suzi, I'm sorry. And shrift's right, you're a good mom.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don;t know how much longer I can deal with waking up jolted into such a state of anxiety. I have a sleep psych session tomorrow, and a call to make to my GP. Neither look to be pretty, but if I'm taking twice the sleep meds because I need to go back to bed every night, something's really wrong.

ita, I'm sorry sleep is eluding you too.
I am trying to think of this as my opportunity to watch over my family. Really, i am just cranky.

I just don't know if I'm working tomorrow, and if so, from where. Food this week is up to: untold Gatorade, an apple, and a piece of bread. Of course I've got postural hypotension. But I can't get this headache broken today. It's too soon.
Wave at the sleeping fam for me.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
ita, pretty or not, I hope the sleep psych and the GP call produce some results. That all sounds unbelievably miserable.
Suzi, I hope something gives KCD a wakeup kick to the ass.

Downtown last night ended up being an actual riot -- people throwing rocks, tearing down streetlights, and tipping over a news van. At least one fire started, but it was put out before it got out of hand.
It's actually not that big a percentage of the students here, but on a campus of 44,000 students, even 5% is a whole ton of people.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
Suzi, I'm so sorry. You are definitely a good mom.
ita, I'm sorry, too. I wish you could get some sleep, and eat, and everything.
Hil, I'm amazed at the mob mentality of the students. I like to think that wouldn't happen here under similar circumstances, but I can't say that it wouldn't.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
This incident is making me think about how it is really drummed into us at my university to NOT call 911, but to call campus security. I always assumed that it was to reduce extraneous calls to 911, but now...
