I, for one, can say with certainty that my ass is in m-fing GEAR. I may still get run over, but it won’t be because I was standing still, LOL.

Not standing still, but not doing just to do. There’s definite, purposeful movement going on and a certain conservation of energy — I don’t want to waste anything right now. I’ve never been afraid of doing the shit work, and I’m hoping that maybe this time I’ll pull out ahead. Eventually I’ll have to hit the bottom of the latrine, yanno? It would be nice (is nice) to be recognized for wading through the murk and muck, surviving it, finding the pearl, and bringing it back. Some small admiration wouldn’t be so bad, either (says Leo). It’s a quiet time right now, time to take stock so I can be most effective when the time is right to move. Finding my cracks and repairing what I can, shoring up what I cannot. It’s going to be a long process, but at the end it’ll take a hell of a lot to shake me apart ever again. *nods*

I am the one doing all the really deep Shit work at the moment! But I am loving it! I am in the process of exposing the deep cracks in my kids school district for everyone. That passive aggressive, non-follower of their own rules they helped make, (because they think are “high standards”, and in retrospect put children at risk) bitch is going down for trying to punish my child with a “Guilt by association” when she actually did nothing wrong. I don’t think they have seen or will ever see a pissed off mama bear like me! Those crack are going to be exposed and fixed.
