The downside of being hypercritical of everyone else is that I am even more so of myself. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I really dislike who I am as a person. The issue is that I frequently find myself enumerating the reasons I really don't deserve to live. I won't recount even a partial list here, for several reasons, but I am... Read More
Quand vous blog en Francais il est difficile pour mois troplu. Si vous le faites a nouveau veuillez certaines images donc je sais pas ce qui se passait.
I was remembered today!
A two year old (technically 31 month old) recognized me today after having not seen me for 7 months. Which is nearly a quarter of her life, for reference. Of course, professionals do NOT have favorite children, and I certainly love them all equally... *cough*. Some children are more equal than others.
She would always call me "mami" because our real... Read More
Chicago is a great place to play, anytime.
If y'all decide to give it a go, let me know, I bought my tix today, and am seriously excited - - in case you couldn't tell . . .
I really really love both my jobs. Working with kids is the best thing I've ever done, and my coworkers are amazing at both jobs. I don't think there's a better feeling than when I was in a classroom with a child who had already been (in my humble opinion mis-) labeled at age 3 as difficult and a behavior issue, who listened to me,...

I have my first teaching job!!!
On call substitute for the program I've been volunteering at. They hired me on the spot at the interview, since I had glowing recommendations from the volunteer coordinator
So it's not super glamorous or anything, and I'm still in retail for a while longer also, but I'm going to get paid for doing basically what I've been doing for... Read More
I totally get it! That's kind of the reason that I don't talk about myself much, but also I've always been private and guarded. I'm not the life of the party but can engage in conversation for hours in a private corner.
I've had pain in my left side and chest for about a week, and then developed a respiratory infection, so yesterday I went to the local urgent care center. When three medical professionals in a row come in, look at you, and say "you look REALLY uncomfortable", you know you were right to go in. So a... Read More
He got called out on the Opie and Anthony show about some of his antics were faked. Hes such a douche you just have to read it. I finished World War Z that was a good read
My friends give me the warm fuzzies. Even though I lived in NY for almost 20 years, I have about 3 friends from there who I met offline who I really consider "friends" beyond the facebook term (And of course, Ekka is one of them!). Here, even though I mostly only know people from work, they are wonderful, amazing people. There was a baby shower/party... Read More
So, the boyfriend didn't like being referred to as my "old" boyfriend Though clearly I meant it only in the sense that we've been together long enough that the relationship is no longer new- not that he is my ex, or that he himself is aged.
Car is still the best thing ever, but that is not why I'm blogging! Tonight, I am here to... Read More
She's has a "boyfriend" for a while - - even went to a dance last night. However, now that she's almost an official teen [on the 25th] I'm afraid - - truly afraid - - that I'm going to have to remove the quotation marks
I probably ought to tell you all that I will have my car on Friday or Saturday.
It's a 2007 Ford Focus hatchback, in fantastic condition.
I will be mega ultra broke afterwards, of course, but I will own a car that is neither death trap nor eye sore.
As for the rest of life, it's been interesting. I'd bitch, but it really is a... Read More
I'd like to hear the bitch with the understanding that it is not boasting.
Thank you! My daughter is 15-months-old. She has my blue eye color set in her mother's eye shape. The miracle of genetics is amazing, yet I wish for her to not carry my Bipolar D/O gene. I waited until later in life and had almost decided not to have a child because of the fear of this. Now, regardless, she is my precious angel!
Take that for what it's worth.
