    I am dreading Sunday already...going back to work....uuuugh :(

    And now I'm trying to sit here and get some writing done, but nothing is churning....except my queasy stomach....sometimes you just get this gnawing in your stomach, some manifested frustration bubbling up to your mouth....nothing but bitterness.

    I've had the absolute worst day ever. My morning started at 5:30.. entirely too early by my opinion. I played driver to my mom all morning who is not healing well after some breaks to both feet. My cat is extremely ill. I got stung six times by a yellow jacket... My truck decided to die on me then proceed to flip me the bird..... I just want to crawl into bed.. drag the covers over my head.. and never .. never come out. But of course I have to work early in the morning... UGH!

    I feel a bit guilty for not going to a march today to raise awareness of a missing student from my university. I've been feeling on and off all day though and I didn't want to go on my own. I think it was successful in putting it back in the media though which is good (so I guess that should go in the happy thread...) but it's strange that I only found out about this missing student via a Facebook page for him. Considering he goes to my university, I thought I would've heard about it there or something. I don't know him or anything, but I hope he's found soon. I can't imagine what his family and friends are going through.

    I hope so too.

    I one saw something like that in my Uni. A flyer reporting a missing person. Had I not seen the flyer, I wouldn't have known about it as the school didn't email us or anything.

    You're welcome :D So, have they?

    Here at my house I spent all last night and most of today in the hospital (with my own illness) and now my oldest kiddo has Strep throat. Y. A. Y.

    I really hope yours is better, Corbyn.

    It's 3:20am and I've been awake I dunno how long. Thanks housemates for getting you and your friends drunk, throwing up, talking loudly and even singing. There are two other people in the house trying to sleep y'know. :/

    I'm not happy because I had to keep Amity off school. Why am I not happy about that? Because she is in tears over not being able to go to school. She loves school more than anything and can't go because we had a certain person come visit yesterday, and found little Amity with head lice afterwards. Amity is heartbroken. I've tried everything to cheer her up, but nothing is working. She hates that she can't go to school today and has spent all morning crying her little eyes out. Why do people not realise that taking children to other peoples houses when they have head lice, or are ill, actually affects those they visit? Are people really this thick? Bad part is, that we had other friends visit not long after the first, and I phoned them to let them know when I saw the head lice in Amity's hair, and I think that they think I'm accusing their children. How can I know for certain? The first persons children were scratching a lot during their stay, so was the mother, the other ones that came later, weren't. It kind of hits the nail on the head right there... have I contacted the first? No... why? Because I'd just cop abuse for it, even if I knew her kids didn't have lice. I would still cop abuse. Why do I know she only got them yesterday? She had one adult lice and an egg. That was it. If she had of gotten them via school, there'd be a lot more in her hair. I'm just so angry, because my daughter is devastated and I can't make her feel better. I hate people, they are so damn inconsiderate! Is it too gosh darn hard to treat your kids hair and check them daily? I frigging do! I always check their hair, and use preventative treatments on weekdays, when the kids are at school. Pity I didn't think to do it in our own home as well... I wish I could cheer Amity up, but she just won't. :(

    I'm not so much unhappy right now as much as I am just stressed out. I'm taking Chemistry Honors this year, (worst class decision of my life), and am doing far below the standard I have set for myself. The quarter ends in three days and I have a killer test on Monday that I've been studying for all week long. Oh and my Chemistry teacher barely speaks English.

    And now I feel good for getting that off my chest lol

    Oh my god, I so feel for you, Tor. When I was a kid, we used to get head lice a lot because one of the families that lived near us always got it, then came over and played at our house. Lice sucks, and it's even worse when parents are irresponsible and cause it to get spread around. Hopefully since you caught it so fast, Amity can go back to school quickly!

    I'm unhappy because I'm sick. Been sick since Wednesday. Started feeling better, then caught something else. Eff.

    Why don't you get shampoo and a comb? The chemist should be able to advise you. It's very effective, especially as your daughter doesn't seem to be infested badly--then there's no need to keep your daughter away from school.
