Thursday Fun Times

[wannabmama]

nuggetrn that was my thought exactly when I left him this am...ok buddy pull yourself together by tonight and all is forgiven. (I'd also like to get some and I refuse to even try if he's sulking, it's an anti-aphrodisiac).

[badwolf]

Sorry for everyone having a rough day today.

Is anyone having issues with ProBoard's website? I tried to log in and it just times out. Didn't know if it was just my connection or PB?

[nuggetrn]

So many ((hugs)) rablissful, I'll be thinking of you and all of those students today as you work through some of this together. It seems like your school has really stepped up as far as having counseling available and meeting with all of the teachers to prep.

[wannabmama]

rablissful ((hugs)) that is so rough; one foot in front of the other, you'll and make it through today.

I am up entirely too early to drive to this certification exam. Wishing I had pit it off two more weeks so I could take a noon exam AND had more time to study.

Who am I kidding. I would still have put studying off until the last minute.

Mom called last night. My half brother is flying in from Boston the week of my birthday. Trying to decide if I want to 1) go visit them Sunday and hate myself the following day, 2) go visit them the Saturday before he leaves and only get to hang out with him that one day or 3) take a vacation day during the week and drive down. I'm using vacay days like whoa this year, and usually I hoard the shit out of them, so it makes me uneasy.

rablissful sending hugs. I'm trying to not have a crazy stressful day today. I finally got rid of my migraine and would prefer it didn't come back. Work has just been nuts. But...today is faux Friday!

This week needs to end.

**trigger warning: suicide**

Found out who the student was who committed suicide. She has no older siblings that I am aware of and she was new to the school this past year from what I gathered from my homeroom students. I knew who she was from bus duty, and she did have mental health issues from what I have overheard out there. We luckily have extra counselors here today for everyone and they are letting students go home if they need it, but so far my kids are sad but not devastated. This was best case scenario for me. The eighth graders, however, are a mess (as expected), especially since many didn't know until they walked into school this morning. I do have freshman at the end of the day that were friends with her. That will be hard. The whole situation is just heartbreaking.

**trigger warning done**


Andplusalso it's CD1. Fuck this day.

So much love to you.

MH is the moodiest man alive. Seriously, women get the bad rap for pms but even at my worst I've got nothing on broody-mcbrooderson. I have learned to just wait it out but I have to literally bite my tongue to keep from blurting out "wtf is wrong?!?"...of course usually there's nothing wrong, he just feels like being a sourpuss. I'm in a great mood dude, don't bring me down...esp if there's absolutely nothing to do to make you snap out of it. Ahhh, vent over.

I think your hubby and mine are related because mine gets the same way. Such a buzz kill when you're in a good mood. I love him to pieces I just wish he didn't feel so down/frustrated/moody. Of course I'm sure I have my moments where he's thinking 'wtf' too.

It's Thursday. I woke up thinking it was Friday and got super sad. This week seems to be dragging.

[wannabmama]

teraiin that's it exactly...down/frustrated/moody. We have a pretty awesome life, seems like a waste to spend it being grouchy. Occasionally we all feel that way of course, but you gotta snap out of it and be grateful. That fucking glass is half full!

[sleepymonkey]

rablissful - That is so tough. My thoughts are with your school and the entire community.

Frig. I am really sorry to hear about this rablissful. Dealing with the death of a student isn't easy and can be especially touchy when they died by suicide. I hope you, your students, and the girl's family have a strong support network and can find some peace.

[cakewench]

Hugs for you, your school, and your community rablissful.

You pretty much summed up how I feel and what I usually try to tell him!

DH was getting so worked up about the stupid xbox freaking out and then not letting him log in and the whole situation was just so stupid! The worst thing though is that he knows it was dumb and he felt bad afterwards... but he spent TWO hours screwing with it and just being in such a crappy mood! Not worth it at all!! He just is very intense sometimes and when he starts something he wants to finish it and he can't see that he needs to take a step back and really reevaluate what is happening.

Thanks for all the love and hugs everyone.



It just blows that this is how we're going to end the year. I feel so horrible for her family and everyone close to her. She seemed like a great kid from the interactions I had with her. It's going to be a rough few days.

I am now really looking forward to the cast party tonight because it will take my mind off things and I can go around and give hugs to all those kids (because that won't be as creepy).

[requiressnacks]

Good morning lovelies! I am so happy its Thursday. Tomorrow H and I are having a date night. A new salsa dance studio opened up in our neighborhood and I"m trying to convince H to take a beginning lesson. He's not into it. Boo.

[SheilaTheTank]

So many hugs for you rablissful. My thoughts are with you today.

That's exactly how mh can be. He likes to see a project through to the end, to the extent where if something goes wrong with it then he feels like it's the end of the world. I on the other hand tend to give up and try some thing else. Which isn't necessarily better sometimes since my stuff doesn't get completed. He's been getting so many of our big projects done lately!

[goldenlove3]

*HUG* rablissful I'm so sorry. That has to be tough to deal with. T&P to you, the family and students.

femshep hope DH's colonoscopy goes well (as well as possible, I guess)!

Thank you!  He has Ulcerative Colitis, and I have Crohn's Disease, so they're a pretty regular occurrence around our house.  The worst part is the prep, which was yesterday-today he gets knocked out, so it could be much worse.

[SheilaTheTank]

So someone left a mumbled message on our work voicemail and their first and last name combined sounded like Jamiroquai. So I laughed and said to one of my staff, who is 22, "Jamiroquai called and needs service." She looked at me like I had 10 heads and said who is Jamiroquai. I feel so old.

That is good that he is getting projects done!!

I love DH and I am so thankful for all he does for us, but when he is mean to me in the process of getting things done it becomes a little hard to handle. He always feels so badly after and apologizes but really that doesn't mean that much. If you know you are being a jerk just stop being a jerk!!

Oh god...if an electronic isn't working it's like the whole world just collapsed. He once broke his iPhone by slamming it on the counter bc the internet wasn't working fast enough...on an island. I was like, you do realize it's a miracle the Internet works at all here, right? He can laugh about it now and realizes it was dumb, but I can't even imagine being that mad at an electronic device. I'd just put it down and walk away...

[femshep]

I am so very sorry rablissful, my thoughts are with you and your school today. Sending you love and creepy Internet hugs.

I seriously need help dressing myself today. It's going to be hot, and there's a problem with the AC at work. I get to dress casually, but I'm not good at matching shit. I bought this skirt at a thrift store (it's dark red, just above knee length, a light fabric with a second layer added at the bottom and a slightly asymmetrical hemline). I'm trying to figure out if I can wear it with a plain, dark gray cotton t-shirt. I never buy or wear skirts. But it's going to be hot, and I'm not in the mood for a dress! GDI.

Ugh, I think if DH ever broke his phone because he was being dumb he would be phoneless. Seriously as an adult that kind of behavior is just not ok with me. I can't imagine getting that mad at something either.
