For me, it was Bridge to Terebithia. That book fractured my very soul.

What was the first #book you remember crying over?

6 year old was having an #asthma flare up. Hubs is prepping for a diagnostic procedure and is indisposed. Hot damn is it hard to wrestle a passed out 6yo into a position to administer her inhaler. 💦

But she’s good now. No more hacking. Glad my efforts came to the desired fruition.

Even rumors of a gun carried by a teacher could mentally terrorize students. It shifts the balance of power even further out of a child’s control. So when a coach makes suggestive comments, do you think that student will feel comfortable reporting it when there are rumors that Mr. Gym Coach has a gun?

Oh but that could never/has never happened before, right, TN?

It’s difficult enough for many parents, not knowing if their child’s teacher is a good human who should be in a classroom full of children. This is a slippery fucking slope that could go devastatingly wrong a million times over the possible one time it could go right—if you call shooting dead someone in crisis right.

We’ve all become desensitized to acts of horror, violence and terror… but we have got to do better and not become used to it. Nothing about this is normal.

It’s a removal of the need for humanity and empathy for students in crisis. Because you KNOW that when two hormonal teenagers start brawling in the hall that gun is coming out instead of de-escalation training.

Or you’re providing a weapon to a kid looking to kill himself or shoot up a classroom without him having to worry about how he will get into the school with a weapon.

All it takes is one TN teacher “feeling threatened” by a student before you have a whole classroom full of hostages. This is literally putting the fucking poison in the water.

Because we haven’t seen enough instances of American workers snapping under pressure. So yeah, sure, let’s let TN teachers have concealed weapons. What the actual fuck is happening in this lifetime?

Shoutout to my eldest, child-less by choice, sister who lets my kid FaceTime her and talk for hours so I can have a mental break. If there were auntie awards, she would win by a mile.

So annoyed. Went to lunch. With 10 min left on my lunch break, there’s a rapid response then a code called on my unit. So I dump my lunch and run. Because that’s the rule.

Turns out, it’s a mock code. This is why I would rather work the damn weekend.

#TFW you have your $5 punch card filled up for the cafeteria so you get a cold brew coffee and breakfast combo for $2.89 and then walk into the break room and find donuts.
