Thursday *****fest

ACKKKKK! My DD is having trouble with her math teacher and the principal thinks this teacher is perfect and just can't imagine how my DD is having such a difficult time.  It's a mess!!!  She's been learning the math thru a tutor all year, and then DD finds out this woman is going to be her math teacher again next year.  GRRRRRR...

Oh no!! Can you or DD document what's happening, maybe just take notes about what happens in class, when she tries to get extra help, that sort of thing? Maybe having it in paper for the principal would be helpful.

We met with the principal this morning and she listened really well and took notes.  She said she'd talk to the teacher, and then the teacher, DD, the principal and I can sit down so that DD can tell the teacher everything she wants to say.  Then they can work on rebuilding their relationship so that hopefully next year things will be better.  I guess I just have to wait & see.

That's really encouraging that they're at least coming up with a plan to address the issue. :)

This may not be the issue, but with the new standards and worse, testing, teachers have little flexibility and are often told how to teach.  It gets worse year by year over the past few years - esp at HS level. 

What gets on my nerves?

• stupid people
• whiners
• taxes
• audits

I am tired of my friend complaining she can't lose weight as she stuff her face with bread, while drinking 3 glasses of wine with dinner.. no she didn't finish the dinner - "see -I don't eat much".. but she ate most of the bread with butter,  salad,  part of her dinner and my french fries...  all of them..

I am tired of people complaining about not being able to afford something / being broke , while they eat out a few times a week, stop at STbucks for coffee and have their mani/pedi done once a week...   and they are too proud to buy clothes in thrift stores... 

I am tired pf people telling me it is easy for me to not eat some foods because i have allergies.  Just because i am allergic it does not mean I don't want them.    Except if i eat them - I may need to double on allergy pills or suffer the consequences (itching - pain) that come hours later.  One woman **** me off  so much, that after once again she told me she wish she got reaction to cake - I told her my biggest side effects from eating a cake is getting fat.... and I don't like that....

I hate most SC drivers... 

"I'm allergic to cake" is pretty much the best line ever. I'm stealing this!

my favorite line to some people who are trying to push the cake/pizza/food pon me...

"O no , can't have "cake", I will get a reaction to cake"..

they typically ask "what reaction?" "I get fat" .. and if they comment "but you are not fat.. go ahead" - I tell them "because I don't eat the cake"  I only use that on super annoying people, who feel very comfortable commenting on my eating...  

Your friend who can't lose weight reminds me of my ex. He was always working out, but never lost weight. He'd always **** and moan about it. He never even considered that his eating McFreakingDonald's twice a day 5 days a week wasn't helping at all. Dumb ass.  

Blah, I'm with you on SC drivers... today I was taking my bf's mom to work, and some idiot driving a truck, pulling some kind of machine, pulls out in front of me and I have to slam on brakes. Then, he proceeds at about ten miles an hours, when it is 35 speed limit, only to pull over at the railroad tracks about a 1000 yards from where he pulled out in front of me. He was working on the railroad. 

REALLY?! They couldn't have let me pass THEN do all that?
