So sorry, Kat. That's A LOT of suck to deal with at once.
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Kat sounds awful. Past a certain point you can't make the students do what they choose not to. So hope your emotions catch up with what you already know, and realize it is NOT your fault. I strongly suspect, not having seen you first hand, that you ROCK as a teacher. Test scores don't capture everything. Finland, which has some of the best results in the world, deliberately does not do this kind of uniform high stakes testing.

That is a pile of suck, Kat. I'm sorry.
I think that iPhone is perfectly sensible. I'm not inclined to work when it's 102F either.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In completely random news, why did John C. Calhoun look so goddamn scary?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Can't do a neti pot. Tried once and it wasn't pretty.
Neilmed. I tell you Neilmed. Also Rite-aid now has a generic Neilmed. Which means other drugstore have generic neilmeds.
"Neilmed" = squeezy bottle? (Because Neilmed the manufacturer makes neti pots, too, so I'm confused).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Kat, I'm sorry. What a pile-on of crap. YOU do not suck, but I do know that it feels that way when everything around you is a suckfest.

My kids are going insane, I need to get them out of the house for a bit, packing or no.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
So, it must just be a day for crap...I just got written up at work. 2 items, one is kinda bogus (implying lots of mistakes because there was one recewntly that made my boss angry) - the other is completely bogus because my boss forgot he approved my June vacation in April and is mad because my email reminding him was not early enough. That one I have rebutted in writing to HR already with attachment screen shots and timesheet references. Still, crying, so there's that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh ugh, msbelle. You are still awesome.
