robertreich: My father was a Republican for the first 78 years of his life. For the last twenty, he’s been a Democrat (he just celebrated his 98th.) What happened? “They lost me,” he says.

Difficult
On my way to my fourth grade student’s father’s funeral. Couldn’t not go. But boy do I wish it wasn’t happening. Feel. Really bad. For my student. Her father committed suicide. 4th grade is such a crucial time, it’s like this collective moment in life between being little and also understanding quite a bit. But this is a lot of understanding for anyone. Let alone a 9...

Good deed of the day
Totally not wanting to be at staples right now letting a classmate that joined class today copy my notes, but doing it b/c I would want someone to do that for me. But even though I am being nice I really am annoyed.

So exhausted.
I am so tired. It isn’t comparable to anything I have felt in my entire life. I feel absolutely wiped out. I drag myself around and force myself to do the things I need to do. This level of tired I thought couldn’t exist for people who are sleeping enough at night. Now I know - that it is absolutely possible to be utterly wiped out and sleep 8 hours.

Birth and death
I don’t know if it is my point in the life cycle (or what) but lately I feel like a day doesn’t go by that someone in my network of folks (or friends network) isn’t experiencing a death or a birth or about to experience one. And it makes me feel that everything is so precious and that all the fear you might have about, well, living really, is not worth it, b/c yes really in 6...

i had two professors today act like it was the norm for women to stay home with children.  WTF! In reality it is half and half.  Half of moms with kids between the age of 3-5 are in the work force full time and 68% are in the work force part time.  Do what you want people, but stop placing your gendered expectations up my ass. thank you very much.
