Tales From Janet Land

"Mizzzter"...that's awesome.

Oh my word! As soon as you wrote about the kitchen, I *too* thought of the coffee creamer."Terminally lazy"...I like that.

*Jumping up and down in her seat*You rock!

Mary? You know we love you, right?Do something for me...please. Send the letter. Don't forget that you're his Mama. You know the truth. Don't be intimidated, Mary. Don't back down. I know it's tough, but you'll be doing the right thing for Kota and for you.You know that he's not the same little boy he was when you put him on the bus in September and you're reacting appriopriately to what you're being shown. Please send the letter and look into things further. Kids who are bullied do act out...you know that this is true. Do this for Kota who is too young to speak out to the teachers and principals.Please, Mary.

Please know that I would take that pain from you and carry it as my own if I possibly could, Gwen.

Don't be scared to let yourself cry, Gwen. We're all here to listen and we never get sick of it.

Never be scared to say that *his* best was not good enough for you.You are worth so much more than that, Gwen. And you're worth so much more than you give yourself credit for. Until you can believe that, we'll all believe it on your behalf.

Never dumb, Gwen.

You *know* that I get this post. Oh boy...I so get that.

I use "dude" all the time.And you rock.

Awesome!The powers for good and not evil thing gave me a bit of a chill because that's exactly what we say about Miss Kate.

Nice.

I really need a t-shirt with "I swear if I had brains I'd be dangerous" printed on the front.That's so me.

My kids loved the Rat movie.Days like yours are my favorite kind.
