Meddling with education....

I really don't like it when people who think they know everything about education but know nothing and start things that are suppose to help but in the end, WILL HURT EVERYBODY INVOLVED.

You idiots, you were after a few people with your grand jury trial and now your ill-advised adventure will affect every single administrator, staff member, and student at the school.

How smart you are? And, there you sit with a big ole grin spread across your face because you have no effing clue what kind of problems you have created. And, even worse, those of you that do know the damage that this could cause, sitting with those smug looks on your face--educators you call yourselves--throwing people under the bus for personal reasons. You make me want to vomit.

You idiots, who is going to run the school. You got the main person you were after, but you had to keep on. Now, some public officials may be removed from office, a couple others will probably step down. There will not be enough board members left for a quorum and without a quorum of board members, the school can do nothing---yep, NOTHING! They can't pay bills, they can't make improvements, they can't pay the employees. How freaking smart you are.

Will you ever understand what you have done? Will you ever understand that your selfishness has cost the school and everybody involved with it, dearly? Good, very good people are being punished for one person's stupidity and your selfishness.

You went after somebody for over-spending. That is understandable but, the trial was unnecessary. This person and the school board members you are after have done some very good things for the school district. Teachers have had everything they need, kids have had the chance to go places they wouldn't get to go, you have new classrooms at all the schools and a new activity center that has the state begging to use it for all of their state championships.

IDIOTS! Now, you will probably lose some very high quality teachers and coaches.

I would take my cap off to you but I can't because it was blown off by the news of what you have done. You have done far worse than over-spend (which by the way, you are forcing the school to SPEND thousands and thousands of dollars meant for the students and teachers to defend itself against your selfishness), you have ruined everything.

This is what happens when people think they know everything about education and they know ABSOLUTELY, FREAKING NOTHING. IDIOTS!

Another stage

I have added a little more. I may add more this afternoon but haven't decided just yet.

And I could go on and on, I'm so pissed. }:(

What I am working on...

I know, it doesn't look like much now but, when I have finished this saw blade, it will make me and another person very happy. I will try to remember to post photos as I go. I think you will be surprised and I think you will like it. :)

How to dress

Today, I was watching Rachael Ray. I don't watch her often, mostly because I forget about her being on, but I am glad I saw her show today. She had the plus-size model Emme on with three ladies that wear plus-size clothing. These women are as frustrated as I am about the choice of clothing that large women have. The selection is almost disgusting. Emme is a size 14, still small for plus-size but she understands the problem(s).

First, she understands how demeaning it is to be large and trying to buy something fashionable to wear and there is nothing. She gets that most plus-size women do not want to buy clothes that only their grannies would wear.

Second, she understands that plus-size clothing is not being modeled effectively when it is being modeled by a size 10 model. It is commercial sabotage. I want to know how it looks on someone my size before I buy it. The designer, Ralph Rucci, was on Martha Stewart today, he said something like--if it isn't comfortable or look good, it is a waste of clothing--those aren't his exact words but, they make my point.

Third, she is all about large women feeling good and positive about themselves. She understands that we want to go out in public with confidence. We want to feel good about how we look even though we are large. The better we can look, the better we can feel and that can work positive toward weight loss, fighting depression, and who knows what else.

It was a good program. Emme then dressed the three ladies in some very stylish plus-size clothing that made the ladies look very modern and actually slimmed down their appearance. They then talked about how large women have spent decades trying to cover and hide their size. For years, I have been doing this. I am not and have not been comfortable with the excess weight that I put on. However, I learned, today, that covering it is just making me look larger than what I am. I had no idea.

Today, I will start changing my philosophy about how I dress. My husband has been trying to do that for me for years. He loves me just the way I am and I found out today that his ideas have been right on the mark. Buy some things that are tighter fitting, even if they do make you uncomfortable, they actually look better than you think. Buy clothing that accentuates your shape, even though some of are big, many women still have a nice shape---I do. I have avoided anything that would be tight around my waist, I shouldn't have, my waist is nice. My bottom, is nice. My legs are nice. I could use a little shaving on the hips and trimming on the belly but, overall, the rest of my body is NICE! There, I have admitted it. :)

Who would have known that it would be the husband that was right all along. I love my man. :D

Ooooooohhhhhhhhhh, PLEASE!

Wow! I seldom have problems sleeping but here lately, I am having hell. If it hasn't been one thing, it has been another.

One night, irregular hearbeat hammering me and keeping me awake flip-flopping and hitting hard.

One night, nightmares or night terrors, I don't know which but they have been wicked and I have had them twice this week.

Lastnight, gall bladder. UGH! I am so tired this morning and it has taken me 2 hours to get my blood pressure down after it elevated from the pain.

I don't know what to do to alleviate all of the problems. I have decided that I will just meet the 'terrors' head on and face to face. I believe that is all I can do and I believe it will stop them. I have let myself let them control me and that just isn't going to work.

I need to get my gall bladder out but until the insurance issue with my doctor is cleared up, there is nothing I can do there.

As for the irregular heartbeat...gotta have a beating heart and I will just deal with it. I suppose I can cut back some more on caffeine although I don't think that is the problem.

Well, off to check out the U.S. in the World Cup, they were tied with Algeria and really, really need to win since England is ahead of Slovenia. Oh, and I think I will mow a little. Then, paint, take a nap, relax....
