Sick of My Kid's Drama Queen Bullshit

So, Connor has a lot of snot drainage again today, which causes him to expel the snot that accumulates in his stomach overnight (I have the same issue, but thank goodness the doc gave me those meds; it's completely helped).  

At 1, I get a call from the school, "Shayla has wet herself; can you bring her a change of clothes?" I ask calmly, "My son has been puking all day, and I don't want to drag him out in the cold. How badly did she wet herself?" Nurse says she's soaked, so I say I'm on my way.

We walk up there, the whole time I'm going over in my head different things that can cause an 8 year old with appropriate bladder control to suddenly pee themselves. 

I get there, Shayla bounces into the office, all smiles and happy. My first words? "You don't look wet." She stops dead in her tracks. "...umm..." 

So I ask what happened as I'm grabbing the bag of clothes. Connor says 'Mommy...' And I hear his stomach lurch so I just shove his head in the backpack, because I have it in my hands. 

Shayla explains that 'she didn't wipe very well' and I kind of...well...exploded. 

"I DRAGGED YOUR PUKING BROTHER TO THE SCHOOL, WALKING THROUGH THE COLD BECAUSE YOU WERE IN SUCH A HURRY YOU COULDN'T WIPE YOUR ASS???"

The school official wisely stayed quiet. 

So I hand Shayla the clean underwear (which was wrapped in the jeans and shirt that absorbed Connor's snot vomit), and she goes to change. When she comes back, I am deadly calm, and I quietly lecture her about being overdramatic and exaggerating everything. I told her the next time this happens she had better be head to toe saturated, it had better be a real serious emergency, and willing to sit and wait for Daddy to leave work and bring her clothes, because if it isn't such an emergency that she doesn't want Daddy to bring the clothes (because Daddy is a lot tougher than I am and won't tolerate the shit I do), then it clearly wasn't important enough. 

I told her this is the reason she is supposed to have a change of clothes in her backpack, and what happened to that? And she just kinda went "I dunno...its there..."

I then told her I was extremely angry, because she had a change of clothes and still forced me to come up here. Then I asked, who exaggerated? The nurse or her? Cuz if it was the nurse I need to go chew her out for this ridiculousness. Then she tells me, "No mommy, it was me. Please don't go yell at anyone." 

I'm just so pissed, at the nurse (because it was quite fucking obvious that she was not, in fact, soaking wet) and at Shayla, who is such a fucking drama queen that she's forcing me to do things like this when there was absolutely no need to. 

Poor Connor was dragged out in the cold and forced to throw up in my backpack (which my wallet was in, by the way. And now I need a new one for Christmas because that bag/wallet will forever smell of sour snot vomit). He definitely did not need to be out in the cold. 

This ridiculousness needs to stop. I'm so over this drama queen bullshit. 

JonBenet Ramsey: My Opinions

So I'm seeing a lot of stuff about the JonBenet Ramsey case, because it's the 20 year anniversary. I have some opinions, yay for armchair detectives!

I'm 99% certain they will never actually find the killer, because the whole case was so severely mishandled/botched by the police. 

That entire police force came off as incompetent, had no idea how to handle a murder case, and quite possibly a missing person case (but, and I'm not a police officer so I don't know, but I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to just let people wander the crime scene, nor let the family/friends help search the house for the missing person. Seems like common sense).

It makes 0 sense that the ransom note was written on pen and paper found inside the home. I...I can't even go there. It raises a red flag for me that will never entirely exclude the family from at least knowing something happened. 

Oh, they found DNA evidence, you say? I bet I could find some too, after about a billion people handled the poor girl's body. 

Personally, I feel like the parents/family have to have some knowledge of what happened to that poor little girl. I understand that the DNA evidence excluded them, BUT I'm not entirely sure I trust it, considering the botched circumstances. From the way the parents acted the whole time, the father going 'right to' the body AFTER the house had been searched, what twice? The ransom note specifying the exact amount of bonus the father got? That part gets me the most. That says it HAS to be someone 'on the inside'. It's too far-fetched that someone could randomly pull that number out of thin air. 

Why, if the mother had gone to bed, was she still in the party dress? I mean, I guess she could have slept naked, rolled out of bed and grabbed the first thing she could find to put on, but I find that kind of a stretch. Maybe the parents were up later and fell asleep in the party clothes. Was the father still in his though? No one has ever mentioned. 

What about the police officer who supposedly overheard the father finalizing airline tickets. Who the heck does something like that when your fucking child is missing?! That blows my mind. I guess I wouldn't know for sure how I'd act but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be sitting around playing video games or something if my kid was missing. I'm pretty sure I'd be panicked and possibly inconsolable, I might go on a cleaning spree but I'd be sobbing and/or completely erratic, not getting much done. I don't feel, if my child was missing, that is be able to stay calm. Much less so if she were dead. 

As for rumors that the child showed signs of 'ongoing sexual assault'? I buy it. Really. I'm heard theories about elite pedophile rings the family was involved in, etc, but I think it's likely that they 'pimped her out', so to speak. 

I have always felt there was something fishy going on here, but I don't feel the death was an intention murder. I feel  like it was probably an accident by a man who was given access to this poor girl for sexual reasons. 

The grand jury felt compelled enough by whatever evidence presented them that they were going to indict the parents on several counts, including involvement in the death of a minor under 16 (I think that's the correct wording). Again, I have always felt the parents were involved in some way with their daughter's death, be it covering up for one of her brothers, their son, or covering for each other, or for someone they knew. 

Say what you want, point to whatever evidence you want, but it's crystal clear that the case was so mishandled, so botched, and the officers involved so incompetent, that this case will never be solved, short of someone outright admitting to their guilt. 

Is it called 'The Goddess Test'?

Hey fellow readers:

I read this book a couple years ago, and it was about a high school-ish girl, and she meets a guy who turns out to be Hades and she's supposed to basically become his new wife cuz Persephone was a b***h and left him. 

I can't remember what the book is called but I know it's a series of some kind and I want to read the rest. Unfortunately when I try to google it, nothing comes up. Seriously. And I don't remember what it was called. 

So if anyone knows anything, please comment and let me know. I'm practically desperate.
