I was hoping for a couple hours of peace and quiet this afternoon, but instead I had to pick up Princess Zurg from school because she’s been suspended, and I’ve been listening to her moan about her horrible life while I eat the rest of these Pringles and don’t let her have any.
I have compassion fatigue.

Sorry about the suspension. That bites. I was hoping to have some quiet time too, but it’s just my non-napping toddler that is cramping my style so I can’t complain.

Compassion fatigue.
I wonder if I can use that phrase when I report to my Visiting Teaching supervisor later this month.

Am I a bad person for wanting to know why she was suspended?
Janelle, I would TOTALLY use that phrase. Honestly, you deserve to!

Mmm…Pringles.
I agree that “compassion fatigue” is a valid term.

I got a call from Mr. T’s principal today. He wasn’t suspended, suspended, but he has had his computer privileges suspended until Monday. Bad Mr. T.
