First, let me thank you for the wonderfully supportive and insightful comments several people left on yesterday's post. I am much better today, and I had considered a lot of those things myself. I think she does this when she's totally overwhelmed, the way a child can lash out at mommy, always secure in mommy's love. We'll be okay. It's just a rough patch. But I think I will try to go back to my therapist for awhile.

School. I almost posted from my phone this morning, but it would have been rude, so I wrote it down for later. And now Gmail's down, so I have to post from the phone anyway. Here's what I wrote:

8:55, in the auditorium

In what must be a cost-cutting scheme, we have no keynote speaker to kick off the year. But the superintendent is summarizing -- with power point -- a keynote speaker he saw somewhere this summer. Seriously. It's hot and smelly in here.

Good news so far: Every single person I've shared greetings with since I got here at 7:15 has said "I love your hair!" Conclusion: everyone at home sucks.

Mediocre news so far: The principal says to close the library when I go to lunch until he works things out. Good for me. For the kids, not so much.
