Why?

What would possess me to go look at anonymous reviews of the school where 2 people bad mouth the people in my department? Then it gets stuck in my head like a little worm....whispering things that make me doubt myself. Not that it matters. Also thinking that the review happened during the "terrible, no good, very bad year". In fact I'm sure of it. Huh. It's probably not just about me. So glad I came to vent.

Politics. Am interested and worried. The super-conservative tea-bagging (I know, I know, but it makes me laugh) candidates that are winning may push Dems and moderates to the polls (or to mail in their ballots) which should be good. On the other hand, I think that it's altogether possible that the legislature will turn over. In which case....we are so effing screwed. Those freakin' republicans are going to subpoena the hell out of the executive branch. There may even be some wackjob grassroots campaign to impeach the president (on what grounds?? for crying out loud).

Church. I don't even know...nothing has changed since my last little ramble-fest. I do still love teaching Religion to my kids. Then again, today was good because we kept cracking up. Have been tapped to work with youth at my "home" parish on a couple of topics that fascinate me-- looking forward to that.

Personal Life. Oh My Lanta. Same old poo, different day. Trying my best to not get mired down in that depressing slogfest. Someone (am pretty sure I know who) stuck a newspaper birth announcement that had "my name" (misspelled but the same) as a new mom. People don't think about what effect stuff like that has on someone who is single and not necessarily happy about the status quo. Then I thought....you, Miss Dubh, are SOOO overreacting.

Watching the end of top chef. So. Off I go,
