Tc @ MindSay

Gee, I wonder if he's had any experience with this... (it actually broke my heart when I found this poem today.  Everyone wrote things similar to this, but this one, especially knowing that he is ALWAYS being picked on...)

BULLIES - by Chris

Bullies
Unreasonable
Lawless
Languish
Ignorant
Enemies
Sad

And now, I feel completely justified that I went on for SIX PAGES this weekend about 'Chris would do better, have confidence, and finally learn to read if he was in a classroom where kids didn't beat him up and make him feel terrible all the time'.

I hate that I'm NOT Superwoman; that I am acutally pretty powerless to save my kids from these terrible situations.  That I will compliment them to no end, and then they go home and have a mother who calls them stupid.  That William can write a poem with the line '4 sisters and a brother who is up in heaven' and that the brother's suicide anniversary is right about now, or that one of my boys hasn't been seen in 2 weeks because he has to be on medication to rid him of the skin disease he contracted from not bathing...
I wish people would stop reading People Magazine and wasting money on designer clothes and instead help fix the school systems.  To stop and think about what is REALLY important in life.

 

Have you run across this television show on BBC America? It is worse than the crocodile hunter or fear factor for putting the fear of anything and everything into you. Sometimes I have to put my hands over my eyes and watch through the cracks as these two british Dames enter a house that has been left to crud and mold for  what seems like eternity. They scrub the whole thing down and they even take bacteria cultures to show the owners how filthy their homes are in order to frighten them into keeping it clean. it seems to work.

 

 

Now these are not ordinary dusty homes like all of us- these are houses where no strangers  can step foot because it looks worse than an alabama frat house after two weeks of binging. The worse program recently showed how much candida (  as in yeast infection?) and fecal matter was in the woman's carpet, furniture and washing machine. OMG. doesn't that make you sick? well of course it SHOULD make you sick. Imagine going to someone's house and catching a yeast infection from the dining room chairs. ack.

 

Now I confess that I am one of those people who would only stay in a cheap motel if the alternative was the street on a snowy night. and I travel with my own small down pillow and a silk thing called  a sleep sack in case the sheets are icky. and I would NEVER EVER EVER sit naked on a hotel bedspread. Not even atthe ST Regis.  I put down a towel first because at least I imagine they get washed before I checked in.

My house isn't pristine but I dont think it's a quarantine zone either. a little mess, some dust kitties and maybe the toilets should be swabbed today. but I ont think  you can get juicy cultures off my furniture- just some cat hair. some strawberry blone hair and - from my husband - no hair.  no there ARE beard hairs in the sink sometimes.

 

so maybe my cleanliness ick factor is different than yours in which case ignore this blog and continue believing that having a a filthy house builds your immune system.

I somehow got 2 of my 4 grad school applications completed and in the mail this morning.  Yes, I AM proud of me right now.

 

 

Tonight = O.A.R. concert.  Now...ask me if I like O.A.R...
