Okay, I'm in a foul mood today, as evidenced by my previous post. I'm on my way to the gym right now to pound out some frustration on the elliptical machine instead of curling up on the couch with the brand-new bag of Cheez Doodles that is calling to me from atop the fridge. But, that doesn't help you out any, does it? I'm probably driving away the few readers I have left with the neverending railing against the injustices of the school district, special ed office and world in general. In case that's the situation (and really, I don't want to read my own whining at this point myself, so why the heck would anyone else? *le sigh*), I wanted to point you towards a few of my favorite bloggers, all of whom are wittier, funnier and generally better writers than me:
Andy of the creative junkie
Anna Lefler of Life Just Keeps Getting Weirder
NikkiCrumpet of Blah, Blah, Blah, blog
Margaret of Nanny Goats in Panties
HappyHourSue of Happy Meals and Happy Hour
On any given day, even those days on which I think my own blog post isn't half bad, theirs are invariably better. At the risk of driving my loyal few readers away forever, go check them out. But please do come back, I promise my current funk won't last long. Okay? I'm just a bit stressed over the neverending battle to get Kiddo the support she needs so she can continue to succeed at school. And also over the neverending battle to keep the cat from gacking up hairballs all over the carpet. And also over the neverending battle to get my hair into some semblance of a style, dang that perpetual growing-out stage! (I'm pondering a perm again, that's how bad it has gotten. Seriously, I daydream about either perming it or just giving up and cutting it all off again. Noooooooooooo!)
Okay, so, in lieu of any remote entertainment or brilliance over here right now, please go check out the women I wish I were more like (well, maybe not Anna's mustache. I have enough problems keeping my own bleached and mostly invisible) and then pop back here again for my next post. I promise it will be more cheerful and witty, 'kay?

Let's meet for a nice cheerful glass of wine. Wouldn't that be great?
Well aren't you just so very nice! And boy am I out of my league in that group. Those ladies are awesome..and I love their blogs. But I feel totally unworthy to be in their company. But thank you so much for the linky love!
You can go ahead and gripe, don't feel you have to be cheery until you can.
Aww, sweetie.
Listen, I think you ROCK as a blogstress, but you already know I think you are one of the cleverest writers around.
It's hard to find good caregivers, especially for a specific, detailed position where Kiddo is depending on the support person to be on their game in order for her to have a successful day. It's natural to be disappointed when a good one leaves. And part of the reason for blogging is to vent away and let off some steam!
I hope you're feeling better and that a wonderful person for Kiddo's needs shows up SOON.
I love your writing! Thanks for the bloggy love yesterday and today! :-> Always love your well thought out comments. Does that make sense? Well thought out? Hmmm...
How was the gym? You are much stronger than me. I am a runner (well somedays) and lately I just cannot get motivated to run mile 3 miles! I think that I would have eaten the chips:)
ps I love reading your blogs! You are so funny and honest! I think we would be great friends if we didn't live states and states away and only knew each other through the blogging community:)
Thanks for stopping by on my SITS day last week...I feel so loved and overwhelmed with all the comments! Sorry it's taken me so long to respond back!
Ya know, it is ok to vent...that's what blogs fun and interesting...lets us get to know you better!
Your gripe is understandable! Keep on with advocating for your child. I wish you the best of luck. :)
