Can You Say “Incoherent?”

That’s what I am.  Still.  And the one thing that keeps going through my head is–that bastard’s going to get away with this, too, isn’t he?  Because I’m betting not enough people remember how to say “impeachment.” I’m not kidding.  I’m outraged, furious, and horribly dismayed.  I’m writing this Sunday, because Saturday I could not […]

Are You Paying Attention?

This is how it happens, folks.  Persons unnamed (as I try to keep the profanity to a minimum), have tacked the bill about drilling in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge onto the defense appropriations bill currently on the floor.  Next election, anyone who fights that bill now, is going to be pegged as “unpatriotic” because

Seventeen

That’s how many kids I have to withdraw because they are moving or going to charter schools over the winter break.  Seventeen children starting over in a new school halfway through the year.  I hope, anyway.  At least three, I wonder if they will go to another school at all.

One More Week

I can make it.  One more week.  This time next Monday I’ll be home for two weeks, and I can breathe and think and try to figure out how to patch up the sinking ship that is my job.  Right now I’m sure there is no answer–but I’m going to have to find one. One

Only if You’re Insane

House in good shape, food made, laundry done, child bathed–yeah, you could say I’m ready for the new week.  Only if you’re insane. I can’t believe this.  Here it is almost the end of the semester, and I still hate my job.  It’s horrid.  I spend all day running around in circles, I have less
