Hi MJ. I am here today. Although I am not fully here I could not sleep well last night. I don't know if you saw my post but have you seen Sue/Enester on here lately? I have a question for her. It is way cold here to -2 and it feels colder than that. I need to go start my coffee and I will be right back. Good morning to ya
Hey Jane no Im sorry I havent seen it What post?I will gladly read it.
My life has gotten so busy but I feel an empty spot when Im not on here ya know?Go get some coffee & come hang.My BIL is spending the night yet I dont feel like cleaning up yet.
Besides I want to VENT about a teacher.But first tell me the post so I can read it Im sorry for not seeing it

The post was nothing other than me looking around for Sue. I did a search and found her email but I am not sure she even posts anymore. Just looking for her. Go ahead with the venting on the teacher my ears are wide open
Its not so much venting but Ill admit Im very proud of how I handle this situation.
Well I guess this"so called"teacher called his students(my Anne included)a bunch of SCUMBAGS!!!.Now Im proud because Anne said to him what I suggested which was..."Your getting paid to teach us not to put us down"& she walked out of the class.Please keep in mind if it was ONLY my daughter I heard this from I probaly would of reacted differently,but 4 other students also told me.
Well the first thing I did was call the Superintendent of the schools & told them I wanted to lodge a formal complant.Well they were like...You need to talk with the princable about this.Well I told them flat out I wanted it ON RECORD that I called & why so they took the info down.Than I went through channels & call the Jr High,the Princable was in the lunchroom so I told the office people I wanted to lodge a formal complant & why.So they said they would have (Mr X)call me back....Well about 1 hour later the teacher himself called & he tried to make himself look innocent,So I said to him...Do you really think that kind of talk is approperate for a teacher?And he went on & said well after your daughter left I did tell my class that sometimes I dont handle things well...So I said to him Well MY DAUGHTER didnt get a chance to hear that did she?Do you really think you have ANY right to say such things to our children?And he kept saying he was sorry so I said to him...I expect my daughter to get an apolagy & he was like Of course Of Course.
So finally I said to him..."Look I understand you may not have the easiest job but I will suggest that in the future when you are speaking to OUR children you CHOOSE YOUR WORDS carefully"
Sorry this is so long.
Anyways I guess he waited at my daughters locker for 2 periods just to tell her he was sorry,.
I still am upset to some degree because it was only a couple months back these same teachers were thinking of striking for more pay etc?Its like THESE are the people teaching our children.I just feel call our kids scumbags is something NO TEACHER has a right to do
(almost done)
Needless to say I was very proud of how I handled that & it hit me that if I was still usen I probaly would of went to the school & made a scene.But Ive come so far
Sorry I guess my bragging gets boring huh?
So after all this.......How are you Jane?Whats happening in your world???

MJ that is wonderful You went through the proper channels and you showed your daughter how a healthy person handles these types of situations. Some teachers don't have the temperment to be in the field they are in. In Jr. High High & High School. I don't think they pay them enough to put up with the s*** that they do. IMHO. You were right to stand up for your daughter. Not only that you handled it with such class, I am bowing to you. Good job. It's not always easy when your child is caught up in it to remain objective but it sounds like you did.
Me I got a better job offer this week and it stresses me out. Because I love where I work and it will be hard to leave but it is for a little more money and better benefits. I have to keep in mind that I am working for the money not because I love it. I need to take the risk but it can be scarey to try new things you know? That's whats on my mind this morning I am seeing some change and lord knows how I can resist it but it is for the best.
What's on your plate today?

Geez- MJ..when I went to both grade school AND High School, we had corporal punishment..not sure if they even still do that..
Jane thats great(in a way)more $$ is always a plus.I commend you on taking the risk ya know?thankfully Im in a position that I can look for a job(with kittys)& its something I love.I mean please dont get me wrong,I enjoy volenteering & caring for those beautiful cats,& I love knowing that I make even a small difference in thier lives,but if I can find something like that ,that also works around my daughters school than how wonderful.Shes 14 & though shes a pretty good girl I enjoy being here when she gets in from school ya know.I was a single mom for so long & missed out on so much.
Lets see today Mikeys brother(my BIL)is suppose to spend the night.We are so proud of him.He was in rehab for 9 mth due to his drinking,& hes now at a half way house.Its funny Ive known him longer than Mikey.I told him this past week how nice it is to spend time with him now.He looks so healthy & well Im just so glad he desided to live ya know?.
Right now Im very content sitting here talking with you,but where are all the other beaners???Did Janet WAY oversleep!!!

Hey Danny GOOS to you.Heck no theres none of that now a days.Shoot parents cant even spank thier child without risking CPS comming after them.
I still remember my moms wooden spoon & my dad had this THICK white belt!!!! Geez!!!
I understand I truley do that teachers dont have it easy,& there are kids who are really a handfull,but to say something like Scumbag,Or lowlife etc...its just not right.

Good for him! Isn't it amazing the change that occurs when we are healthy spiritually and physically. How nice that he has you for support.
Taking care of cats would scare the HELL out of me. I know your a cat lover but everything about cats scares me! It's a good thing there are people like yourself who love them unconditionally.
I am doing the single mom thing now. I am sure I will miss out on some things. I have to look out for them financially too right now. Since you probably know the no child support issue fromt he dad. Wich I understand lots on here have put up with for long time. You sound happy. I am glad.

High School was worse than grade school..I got punched on a regular basis in high school...I'll give you some example:
1. If caught smoking in the boys room (which of course I did), it was "Slug or Jug". "Jug was an hour after school copying the bible. Slug, of course, was a punch to the chest. You had to stand their and let Father punch you. I always took the slug. It hurtless than being after school.
2. If you had a wise mouth, you got the "Board of Education". The Board of Education was cricket bat/milk paddle thing, with Board of Education painted on it. You had to lean over, grab your ankles and WHAP on the a**...and hard too..
3. If you got into a fight with a classmate, it wasn't settled by a handshake. You and him (and any other classmates that wanted to watch), went down to the wrestling room, put on gloves and frigign boxed. Yep, a regular little match...
4. Another thing they did is if you wised off was to make you put your back to the wall, get into a sitting position (with no chair), and cross one leg over the other so you onlly had one leg on the floor..and NOT move or make a sound..try it..it is extremely hard..
That was in addition to normal face slaps or whatever as the Priest/Brothers walked up and down the classroom isles..
This was 1973-1977 for christ sake...and my kids think they have it hard..

Boy can I understand that & I want to say how sorry I am for you.My X owes over 20,000...yup 20,000 but to me Id rather my girls be safe.They havent seen him in 10 year which was thier choice.I guess as they grew they started to remember things(Id rather they didnt)
Being a single mom I know first hand is one of the hardest things,But it also brings a sense of just how strong you can be.For me finding a balance(between work housework kids & sleep was the hardest.
As for the cats...Awww Jane I can understand.I cant tell you how many times this one cat got me good last week.She was doing better as far as becomming social,than we got 4 kittens in & BAM she just flipped & I was her main target.
For me ANY type of animal is theraputic to me.I enjoy just that feeling they bring.Like when you see a deer with her babies?Its a beautiful site ya know?
May I ask,work wise do you work day hours?I did for so long than I switched to midnites!!!! I think thats why I still have trouble sleeping & I havent worked in 7 years I think???

Mon-Fri 8-5. Just 40 hours a week. I live close to my daughters school so she just walks home or walks to my moms around the corner. My son has a bus stop on the corner that takes him to Jr. High. I also go to school every other day till 8pm. But there dad (at least when he works in town) takes them on the nights I have school. He hasn't been in town since July. So its been hard to find the balance. but I try. I have to keep doing something to stay out of trouble. The minute I loose having goals my spiritual and mental goes down the tubes.
How wonderful that you haven't had to work. It would be nice to have someone share the responsiblity although at this point. They would probably have to fight for some of it. I have become too independent. I get all fiesty was it hard for you to make that transition?

i remember getting spanked with a huge tennis racket looking padel, and i guess that was about 87' 88'... they can't do that now....
Jane I wish I could say its wonderful but really the reasons Im not working is because of my health issues.Between the Chron & whatever it is with my throat it was impossable to work.Ive had my voice back now for over 10 weeks so that Im sure has made a difference.
The funny thing with me is...Ok I have someone who will take care of me bill wise ETC,but yet I need or I feel I need to work for me ya know?Im sure alot of women would love to be able to stay home & be taken care of but I feel I need more?crazy huh?
I was ALWAYS the type that swore Id always be able to take care of me & the girls & (actually it was just last month)it hit me that if anything (god forbide)should happen to Mikey Id be in trouble big time.And I really started to dislike the fact that I had someone caring for me.so thats why Ive been looking for part time work OR school.I need to do this for me & I feel FINALLY as if Im truley ready to live again.
