Overheard
Today was the first day back to school. While my kiddos were in learning centers I overheard one little girl make the following statement to her friend, "I couldn’ hear NOTHIN’!"
I can overlook the dialect, since we are in Texas it is to be expected that g’s and some other endings get dropped. I did, however feel a need to correct the atrociousness of the "nothin" so I as I passed I said, "I couldn’t hear anything."
She looked at me very seriously and asked, "Ms. A, are you Deaf??"
Happy New Year! 🙂
Reminds me of this phrase we use in our office when discussing certain clients of ours that can’t figure out how to plug in the terminals that swipe cards, or other simple ****. CFS – you can’t fix stupid. Being as it’s your job to fix stupid, I don’t envy you. Happy new year to you as well.

..i do totally have a tendency to berate myself when things go wrong, when i break down and cut or starve, or when things are messy. it’s hard to break yourself of that habit. i definitely internalize everything and blame myself whenever anything goes wrong. it is nice though to be on OD and read other peoples’ diaries who have similar problems.

ryn: i really don’t know how to hide it, although bracelets would definitely help. my problem is the cuts go from my wrist up the insides of my forearms until about an inch before my elbow. and i have one HUGE mark right around where they’ll take the blood (from the scary blades…which is totally going to be a huge scar and it’s sooo red even 3 weeks later). i can’t believe the nurse just….
