Best Comment Tonight
Comment from Violent Acres post:
And the Mama stands up and applauds! I think a lot of crazy shit, and only ballsup and do it occasionally, which explains most of the mouthy nonsense that comes out of me, like the faculty meeting favorite: "All I wanna know is WHO'S GONNA TOAST HER NUTS?" when the personnel director for the school district sent out a memo that teachers who ran the state test prep sessions for 6 weeks after school every day were only entitled to 75% of their pay for that after school time, not time-and-a half like other people who have worked a full day and are putting in overtime. That one's going to show up at my retirement party, definitely. The best part of that one was when the principal covered his crotch with one hand while he was staring at me after I let that one loose.
If I did it more often, they'd commit me.
No, seriously.
Some days that might not be a bad thing.
"When the worst that can happen to you for acting like a bitch/asshole is having to deal with another bitch/asshole, you don’t really have enough incentive to stop being a bitch/asshole.
Odds are you feel you can out-bitch/asshole the other person.
But Bitch can’t beat Crazy. Crazy wins every time."

Thought we were done with this for a while...
Got a call 2 weeks ago from beloved baby sister. She was in the hospital after exploratory surgery where they found a sizable tumor in her uterus (and through it, and headed for other places). It's fast-growing, ugly, and causing a lot of hemorrhaging. They didn't catch it earlier because no one paid attention to her complaints because of her age -- she's 37. At this point, she's looking at radiation, chemo, and a fullblown hysterectomy. I have a feeling that due to her age they will give her the nastiest, ugliest chemo/rad combo they have in order to cure her. They did that with Lulu, and she went 17 years...
Called Hubby to come home early from work so I could take Mom out and tell her. Selfishly, that was a horrible call to make and an even worse conversation with Mom. It's been 2 weeks of hell getting phone calls that I am desperate to do something about (like go get myself arrested in Texas for reaching down her first radiologist's throat and ripping that whore's lower intestine out through her teeth). On top of that I kept it from FIL and company because I did not want anyone asking Mom any questions before she flew home this past Wed., or have her worry that they would even if I told them they couldn't. Told UM, but he has plenty of sense about that so trusted him, and he came through with flying colors. Told OFL this week and he was supportive. The best thing I did was to set up the teaching schedule with Eeyore so that I did NOT have to teach first marking period -- I teach all the classes 3rd, she's doing them all 1st. So if I have to leave and go to Texas (looks like I will) than the worst I will have to deal with is setting up a schedule of dropoffs and pickups with FIL and Hubby, making up for lunch duties when I return, and making sure UM takes the kids on the weekend for a little while to give Hubby a break while I am gone. I'm not planning to be gone more than 4-5 days grand total once or twice, and I have no idea how I will pay for the plane ticket(s), but I DON'T CARE. Told FIL tonight. He is supportive --anything I need. I doubt that includes my plane ticket, but maybe he will help me get to the airport (esp if it is Kennedy -- maybe he will call Rudy's for me and have them drive me).
Fucking cancer.
