no phone, no school, no help.

I almost lost my phone last night. I was horrified to realize it wasn't on my hip on our way home. I rarely even use the damn thing but was horrified to imagine that I was unreachable. I mean, what if some emergency happened and a family member needed to reach me?

It could happen.

Turns out, the clip broke, and the phone just fell off in the car.

damn it.


So now I took the cover off the phone and have no clip.

In other events, I read an article in the Chicago Reader about the Chicago Public Schools. I don't remember the exact wording, but in it was a quote from Mayor Daley himself. I won't actually put it in quotes, but it said something like the city is committed to helping those troubled schools in Chicago by providing the resources and programs the reswt of the article was mentioning. So, how exactly were my students, in the third worst performing school in Chicago, helped? I suppose by "help," Mayor Daley meant "shut down?"

I think I may speak for my second graders, who will now have to be bussed to schools outside of their 'hood' which are now receiving twice as many students at the same inadequate funding, when I say in all sarcasm, "Wow. Thanks. That really helped."

In my sink: 1 plate, 2 bowls, 1 cup, 1 glass, 2 spoons, a fork, a spatula, and a baking sheet. Dammit, that spaghetti jar is still in there. Anyone know where I can actually recycle in this town?
