Frustration abounds

Two things have me more than frustrated today.
Hilary and her Algebra teacher and Murder

Hilary is a straight A student for the most part.
She has never, ever not liked school.
She dreads her first block class more than I have
ever seen her before. The teacher isn’t grading
whole papers, is being unfair in many ways.
She came home crying on Friday. We discussed her going
into the office today and asking for morning or afternoon
tutoring. But I don’t think that is the issue.
Jan spoke with another parent today, the spouse of a
doctor we work(ed) with. I am just too pissed to write
it all out. Suffice it to say, Hilary needs out of there now.
(This woman fought this teacher to the school board and
lost. )

So Jan is hot and calls me, her first words were
“you need to call the school and get Hilary out of that
class right now.”

Okay seriously, I love her, but being TOLD what to do just
eats at my gut. She rarely gathers the balls to do so, and
I guess I should be happy about that. But it really pissed
me off. I said, “well you sound really angry honey, why don’t
you do that? You are her mom too right?”
I’m sitting here paying bills, cleaning the house, when I
want to be working. Hey make a phone call!
We didn’t end the conversation on a high note.

sigh…
So there’s that.
And I’m a bitch and know it.

and…
A nurse we work(ed) with and adore is going through an
awful time. Her brother was just arrested
(finally, in my opinion) for his wife’s murder.

I am frustrated because I don’t have a clue as to how to deal
with her right now. She believes he is innocent. I do not.
It was so obvious from the beginning that this was murder by
his hand. It was a classic who done it of murder with passion.
They were separating, he told her not to leave, he would kill her
and they would never find the body.

Which is true, it has been a year and we have not found her yet.
I know these people, I know the people who organized the search
parties. She was a 911 operator, he was a cop.
We run in the same circles with Jan’s work in the Coroner’s office.
I sent an email offering hugs during this difficult time.
Seriously, how pitiful. It is all I can offer.

I called Jan when I heard about Sam (see above story)
just now and in the end, told her I loved her. argh LOL

Oh, and if KD Lang wont get the fuck out of my head with
that Hallelujah song, I’m gonna scream. LOL

Quote from NOW President Kim Gandy,
“Robin Morgan’s terrific new essay
Goodbye To All That (#2)
calls out the stereotypes, double standards and toxic
viciousness against Hillary Clinton - Our President, Ourselves -
and she concludes:
“Me, I’m voting for Hillary not because she’s a woman-but because I am.”

I like that very much.
Though I do believe my children are voting for the
O campaign…sigh. Frustrating Monday I tell ya!

Thanks for listening
