Are they gone? Okay then.
I don't usually swear (at least not in print), but when I do, let's just say I do it with gusto. (Thanks, Little Dude, for my new favorite word.) I did have one popular swear-filled rant a year ago on Pajamas & Coffee, but until now, I've hesitated to swear here.
But I can't not share this with you.
Sometimes, swearing is called for. And not just one little word, but a motherfucking blue streak. Like in the case of a teacher straying from agreed-upon accommodations without discussing it with me.
Before you all go nuts, know that the problem has already been resolved. I put on my boots, talked to the principal and the teacher, and all is well again at Little Dude's school. His teachers are great; this was just an instance of pushing for (in my opinion) too much change, too soon. But in the heat of the moment, what made me feel better was getting the following published on UrbanDictionary.com.
Thank you to the Pregnant Chicken for being the first one to give it the "thumbs up." You can vote it up, and look up other hilariously filthy words, on Urban Dictionary by clicking here.
Oh how I love this. Yes, some things in life - like teachers veering off of IEPs with no notice and making you look like a loon - call for a shit-ton of expletives. Glad you've got that resolved!
ReplyDeleteAnd making it into the Urban Dictionary - how utterly cool is that? Kudos, my friend.
Are you SURE you didn't post that definition in your sleep or something? TOTES sounds like you! LOL!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS for sharing!!!!!!
I'm glad it's been resolved *primly looking away from the screen*
ReplyDeleteLove.
ReplyDeleteMotherfucking awesome.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!! I've got monster earache this morning and feeling very sorry for myself, but this cheered me up no end!!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey, at least the teacher knew what an IEP was (I'm assuming). A friend who has a very special but very needy child says that this year he was assigned to the classroom of a brand-spankin'-new Teach for America "teacher" (read: no training in teaching whatsoever). A few weeks into the school year, Mom noticed that her son was not getting some of his accommodations, so she asked the "teacher" whether she had read his IEP. So-called teacher said, "Um . . . IEP. . . I don't know what that stands for, but I'll be sure to find out."
ReplyDeleteIf these kids want to spend a couple of years as teachers' AIDES, I'm all for it, but we need to stop dropping them into classrooms and calling them teachers.
LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteHere here! There are so many times when other vocabulary just won't suffice.
Awesome job on getting into UD. You just freakin' rock! You are no 'nutjob', but a concerned, half crazed mom like the rest of us, trying to do best my our children. ;-)
In our case, IEP stands for Ignore the Education Plan. "Your child is just shy!"
ReplyDeleteI understand those times that you just have to cuss a blue streak. When I get mad enough for a "blue streak", I rattle off every cuss word I know in one long breath. After my hubby quits laughing, he asks if I feel better. I usually answer yes.
ReplyDeleteWow nice! That is a real good one! That reminds me to follow up on our plan ;)
ReplyDeleteSonya
Lol! "Therapy helps but screaming obscenities is faster and cheaper!" Saw that on pinterest and thought it applied well here.
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog through something that was on pinterest and I gotta say... I can totally relate! The pooping one could have easily been written by me a couple of years ago! Except my son is into J3 Piper Cub airplanes (not legos). He's almost 7. The whole pooping thing was harder than shit! (pun intended) We did make it through it though. Now our only pooping issue is that he won't wipe or flush! But hey! He's going in the potty and he'll now poop in places other than home.
Anyway, I have now found a favorite new blog! Thank you!!!
LOL!! Love it and I have shared it on my facebook as well
ReplyDeleteI'm a minister's wife. So, needless to say, I don't have much of a platform for f-bombs, but there have been a few instances in my life when that is all that works. Like, the time my sister called and I misunderstood her statement. I THOUGHT she had just informed me of my stepmother's pregnancy. That is the first time she ever heard me cuss. Praise be to God, I had misunderstood her. We were not getting a new sibling. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, you are spot on with that! Today my 10 year old, Umbrella Boy (Autism) got sent home from his special ed class for hitting the teacher. TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE...right?
ReplyDeleteWhen asked how they handled the hitting incident, the Teacher's Aid replied, "We had to lock him in the bathroom to get him to calm down."
WHAT?!? I have never dropped the F-Bomb so many times in my life. It's a good thing my husband went to pick him up because I definitely would've had to be locked in the bathroom for beating the crap out of the lady for locking my son in the bathroom. That is definitely not in his behavior and discipline plan!!!
Suffice to say, I will be taking some inspiration from you and meeting with the TA and the principal by the end of the week. You are "DA BOMB" SRMM! I love you and your crazy family!!!
One of my favorite words and posts from you. In the last 20 years of working in the medical community I have NEVER used the "F" word as much as I have being a nurse. It comes with the job. SRMM you are AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteAnother awesome post SRMM!! Glad you got Little Dude's teacher situation worked out!!
ReplyDeleteGlad the issue was resolved. Loved the definition
ReplyDeleteHey, you're published on Urban Dictionary! Respect. :-) I've been motherfucked by the local school system before -- I can't imagine there being anybody out there whose kid has an IEP who hasn't had this motherfucking experience. That's part of the reason we homeschool. I'm not sayin' that's always sunshine and roses either. :-)
ReplyDeleteTotally justified. I've dropped f-bombs for far smaller crap than that. Glad you've already rectified the situation and major props for getting into the dictionary.
ReplyDeleteOh no no no. We do not play fast and loose with I.E.P. When you do you can fully expect all the f bombs as a part of the parent/teacher contract. Well Done to the Mother of Little Dude.
ReplyDeleteUrban Dictionary. Genius move SRMM, genius. :)
