I love Oakley! (I also lived there. About the only place in Cincy that I haven't lived is the West side.)
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

by my own rules I cannot celebrate any win over mac except in my head. He is beyond slightly annoyed before the winning move is finished. It's a shame.

I can see where this aggressive kid gets it from, if the mother threatened you. Nice modeling!

Good lord, Aims. People.
I was supposed to work from home today, which I kind of did (technically from Tom and Nora's), but I was super sleepy and came home and napped. And now I'm trying to decide what to make for dinner - I have cabbage and potatoes that I need to use. And green beans.
Hey, isn't it time for "What are people doing this weekend?"

I was the kid who would stomp off when losing (note the tense, before the game ended), complaining about how "it wasn't fair!!!!1!!1!" Have I mentioned here that my parents nicknamed me "Sarah Heartburn?"

It is! I am ::hangs head in slight shame:: going to see Dark Shadows tomorrow. Somewhat against my better judgement. But but but ... Tim Burton eyecandy! Vampires! ... it's going to be dreadful, I'm sure.
On Sunday I'm going to a monthly open house thing some friends host. I get to see one of my favorite three year olds!

I had hoped to go through my craft closet and take pictures of fabric and yarn, then scan in sewing and kitting patterns so I could match up project ideas on pinterest, but none of the 11 people I emailed about coming over to help and hang out can make it.
So maybe mac and I will go see Avengers. Parental child appropriate meter from anyone who has seen it?

Jilli, all the reviews are uniformly bad. But it does seem obligatory for you.
I'm probably goign to see The Avengers again. And sit with my folks. Do some reading. Not an exciting weekend, I guess.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We have been having a hard time with this kid since January. Acting out, tantrum throwing, sometimes gets violent. The other para in the room and I spend more time handling him than we do working with the kids we are assigned to. Couple of weeks ago, he threw a fit and mom came to get him around noon. She decided what they were going to do was sit in the classroom and work on his work and she would stay with him. Ok, fine.
So they did that for an hour or so and then he started in on one of this tantrums and mom? Well, she snatched that child up by his arm and WAILED ON HIM in front of the kids. Me, Mrs H, and Mrs G were so flabbergasted, all we could do was sit there and stare. We reported it to the principal, but nothing happened.
We know what the issues are. The whole crisis and intervention team knows, but we aren't getting ANY support from them. AT ALL. It sucks for us but it totally sucks for the kid because he isn't getting support at home either.
I have been advised by an outsider that I should call CPS, but ... I am hesitant. I'm not sure why, but I am.
