You know what really chaps my ass? At least (the very least) VC knew enough to say she was ashamed of what she did/said/broke bread with.
Meanwhile joenali comes in here all whistling Dixie, bold as brass, without a shred of remorse.
When she literally left saying she “couldn’t be here for heavy drama” (racists targeting posters here is just internet drama, right?) and “people should be more vigilant with their private information” then comes here begging for T&Ps and telling us all about her personal medical struggles.
Like, bitch pick a lane.
Oh boy. Let’s resort to name calling.
Many of you are seemingly great people, some of you haven’t changed. Don’t worry, I’m not leaving any time soon. It’s fun to read up on things, ask for advice, commiserate, etc. i haven’t begged for any thoughts and prayers. Trust me. Just advice and you know maybe some support from others who have gone through the same thing.
DH and I have the week off for midwinter break. I’m working out in a bit and then meeting my mom for a bit of shopping. Tomorrow we are going on a quick overnight trip which hopefully will be fun.

Jessica is the literal worst. I got so mad when they were in Mexico, in the bar, and the producers puller her away to talk. Then she compared what Barnett’s trip would be like if he’d been with her—Jessica— so much more deep, blah blah blah. She’s awful.
I’m a daily glasses wearer with astigmatism and nearsightedness. I have no idea what my prescription is, blind I guess. I have decent vision insurance but it usually never covers high index lenses. I will pay full price for thin lenses for sure. I usually get the scratch coat but I don’t like the anti glare lenses. Every little smudge shows up on them. It’s annoying.
Are you in Colorado? My son was just telling me that some schools in Colorado have 4 day school weeks. He's a HUGE proponent of that, lol. He talked to his teacher about it and she told him these schools still go to to school the same amount of days a year. Is that true?
No. You do not want to go to this. It impacts instruction time and makes it more difficult for kids to get everything in. It's also incredibly hard on basically any working class family without a SAH parent.
The district we moved out of when we moved to this house had a funding measure on the ballot in 2018. Thank God it passed because if it hadn't, they would have gone to 4 days weeks. I don't know what the fuck we would have done. Not to mention, it's a pretty clear indicator in most districts that they are severely underfunded and can't afford to pay staff for that 5th day.
And an 8 hour school day mon-thurs. no thank you. So for a teacher that really still means you are coming in at 7:15 and not leaving until 6pm because you have to prep an 8 hour school day! And yes, it means there’s no money. Pay teachers less and they have to work twice as hard.

Is Friday still a work day for teachers? If not, I wonder how many teachers come in unpaid anyway? Are the days longer?
DH and I have the week off for midwinter break. I just booked a quick overnight to get out of town for a quick bit.
I’ve had a busy week and I’ve just been heartbroken over a diagnosis one of my students just received the other day. The family is devastated, the school staff is devastated. It was truly hard to teach this week. The family should be getting more information on the next few days and everyone will know more.
I found out yesterday that one of my students was just diagnosed with a deadly genetic disorder. Meaning they may die in the next couple of years. I am devastated. We knew something wasn’t right at the beginning of the year and they have become progressively worse since September. I’ll see the mom this morning. She sent a quick email yesterday she is beside herself and doesn’t know what to do. I could not imagine what they are all going through.
It’s a private school. They don’t have to honor anything. Is it really shitty of them? Absolutely! But they don’t have to make accommodations like a public school would. I don’t think lawyer’ing up would help anything, except cause you to spend more money when you could go to another school private or not that would honor his need for accommodations.
We still have to follow ADA laws.
But if they don’t have the staff to support a student with health accommodations, they can’t do it. And don’t have to do it.
A dad of one of my students was on the bachelorette years ago. He’s hot. He’s a fire fighter. He owns a gym. During conferences it was hard not to stare. His wife is not as pretty as I would have thought. She’s nice though. Lol!
Because someone can't be nice and hot? Are they mutually exclusive?
And not everyone thinks the same features are attractive. I'm sure he finds his wife incredibly hot.
I know this is a confessions post, but you must have known this post would make you sound like a jerk.

I have an appointment with my gyn today to get more information about a possible hysterectomy. DH and are also talking/deciding about using a donated embryo to get pregnant, but we still haven’t decided. We are still very much in the information gathering phase... still. I’m 42
I also took a personal day and slept in until 8! My normal wake up is 5:30. So yay! Sleeping. I needed it. I’m going to work out at noon I think.
We have had 3/3 recesses inside. I’m about to lose my mind. I’m taking tomorrow off. I need a mental break from school. I’m also getting really crampy after not having my period for three months: I feel so darn irritated with everything, everything. Indoor recess did not help my irritability. Now I have to write sub plans. Which is irritating. Ughhh.
Sarah Mclachlan was absolutely amazing! It was just her, her piano, guitar and her back up singer who played the cello. If you can catch her short tour, I highly recommend it. She sounded amazing as usual!
I am surprised at the responses too. Doesn’t J-Lo typically dress like that on tour?
I was impressed by their stamina, I was out of breath just watching them
Sure, she does. But this should have been a little different because it's a family event. Their talent is undeniable but they can show that off without bedazzled ass cracks.
Oh please. It’s not like there was gratuitous humping on stage or a boob reveal. I didn’t see an ass crack. Or even a nipple.
I'm very "unclenched" in general but I thought it was way over the top sexual. Why the crotch touching? Asses right in the camera? And don't try to tell me that's "traditional Latin-inspired dancing". Our friend's 9 year old son left the room, he said he was uncomfortable. He did that on his own, no adult had made a comment about the show until that point.
It wasn’t like their butts were just out. They were covered with skin colored tights. It was really not over the top sexual. I’m proud that these two women are sexy, sexual, and talented even in middle age!
