they have the calorie intake from the USDA divided up into different groups for school kids.
K-5. 6-8. 9-12. then under those they have 3-4 yrs and 1-2 yrs. This is apparently how they decide the calorie intake. so they are sending home menus to my kids that have foods on it they are not allowed to have because they fall under the K-5 (even though they are NOT 3/4 they are 4/5).
we had mexican food day on wednesday. they got two tacos. she let half my line go through getting rice before she realized it and then started taking it away and saying they couldn't have it b/c they get two tacos. so i asked the next kid "do you want rice?" and he said yes. so i told the lady "ok, just give us one taco and some rice"...." NON NONONONONO you can't do that they have to have two tacos."
so so stupid. oh ok you can have strawberry and chocolate milk loaded with sugar but god forbid you have some rice.

You know that feeling when you want to pop somebody, but they're in Annapolis and you're in Nashville? I have that feeling.
Oh yes, I know that feeling. Except the ones I want to pop are just down the road. It's safer for everyone if I just stay in my room like a hermit today.
bureaucratic red tape bullshit i will throat punch you!
quit telling my kids they can't have rice and that our room cannot go below a certain temp even though we are all sweating.
I HATE EVERYONE
Ditto. That is total bullshit, EAP. We have our own set of bureaucratic stupidity we have to follow in daycare and it's frustrating. I'd also like to send out a hearty fuck you to the State of Indiana's Teapublicans for refusing to follow the Affordable Healthcare Act. I'm in desperate need of health insurance but I can't get it. If I lived just on the other side of the river that I can see from my front door I would have it. Kentucky apparently is doing an excellent job with their healthcare mandates. And no, I can't afford to move across the river. If I could I would have done it already.
GRRR for people who screw you out of something under the guise of trying to help you. Double GRRRR if they're related, even if only by marriage.
I'm so sorry zen. I'm dealing with the same situation right now, except it's my sister-in-law totally screwing my friend. The next time she wants me to do her a favor she can stick it up her ass.
And GRRRRRR to my boss. She's acting like she's paranoid and can't keep her shit, or her thoughts straight. She seriously needs medicated. I've been promised a raise that I haven't seen yet. That coupled with the fact that I had to buy a car last month has put a super squeeze on my finances. After stashing back a little money for the trip I promised my daughter, I have $12 in my pocket till next Friday. Thankfully I didn't have much I needed to buy this week.
That leads me to Bonnaroo. I'd be able to swing it if I hadn't promised my daughter a trip this year. I've had to put it off for several years because of one thing or another. I swore to myself I'd make it happen come hell or high water in 2014. She wants to do a festival, so I let her pick from a handful and she chose Rock On The Range. That's fine and all, but with everything else it means I'm only going to Rock On The Range this year. That's it, no Roo. I guess it's been a good run. I've been seven years in a row and it has saved my sanity all seven years. It's my break from all the bullshit I have to deal with every single day and the one big thing I have to look forward to. It's just hard to swallow that I'm going to ROTR rather than Bonnaroo. Ugh.

Which part of So. IN are you in? KY doesn't do many things well (as far as the gov. goes) but I've heard nothing but praise for our ACA implementation.
Also Louisville really isn't that expensive if you know where to look!
krunchykat, I'm sorry for what you're going through and I wish that I could help.
Yeah, my late husband's brother "volunteered" to do some work around my house. He came and got my broken TV to get it repaired because it was sitting on my garage until I could decide where to take it. Lo and behold he got the TV fixed for $100, then called saying that he would like to keep it because he never asked me for any money for all the work he was going to do for me. Honestly, I thought that he was offering to help because he knew I was struggling. He ended up dropping off a crappy TV by my house and setting it up. Now he claims that I said I wanted a smaller TV. (I never did). That TV was originally worth 800 dollars. When I pointed that out, he said that he had planned on doing about 800 dollars worth of work.
Add to that the fact that said brother in law went through rehab a few months ago for alcoholism. The first day he was at my house he drank every bit of my beer (about 6). The second time he brought his own. I don't want him over here drinking and going through my things to see what he can get out of the deal (my garage and tools are all moved around so I know that's what he's been doing)
We have a family gathering today for an elderly aunt's birthday. I am going to give him a check for #300 today and tell him that I want my TV back and thanks but no thanks for any more work. I would like to say "fuck you" but I'm going to take the high road. The sad thing about it is that he and his wife (who is party to this as well) are my oldest daughters' godparents.
I can't wait to move away from this family. I gave so many years of my life to them while putting my family on the back burner because my husband didn't want to travel to Macon. I took care of his parents and sisters when they were sick and dying. The whole lot of them now have pretty much deserted me except for the occasional family function, and that's probably just for show. I'm going to need an ativan to get through today, because if I drink enough to deal with it I will feel like poop tomorrow.

I live just outside of Tell City, which is closer to Evansville than Louisville. I would love to live near (not in, I can't do that much city) Louisville or Nashville. I'm responsible for looking after my mom because no one else in this family will step up and my dad is a truck driver and is gone on the road all week. I need to be somewhere I can check in on my mom and do chores/run errands for her daily. If my dad ever retires I'm gonna try like hell to get them to move out of here and follow me wherever I go.
Does Nashville have maple bacon donuts? If not then I pick Louisville. My daughter's orthodontist is in New Albany, and when she has morning appointments we leave early to hit up Nord's Bakery. I'm kind of addicted. Lol.

GRRRRR I will survive. I always do.
That seriously sucks. I'm sorry you're having to deal with that and you definitely don't deserve it. I think what you plan on doing is the best thing you can do. Take the high road and you'll still leave with your dignity. I've been through a rough time with my mom's family and we basically don't speak to most of them anymore. I could write a short story about all the bullshit they've put us through and the sacrifices we've made. Sometimes it's better to cut your losses and realize that family is what and who you make it. It's the people who love you and will be there for you regardless of your situation. I know that doesn't make it hurt any less, but it makes moving forward easier. Good luck today Kim.

Yes! Nord's is the absolute best!!! Next time you go make sure to go next door and get coffee from Sunergos.
And I have family around Henderson, so I'm pretty familiar with the whole Evansville area as well.

I've been in there a couple of times to grab a coffee for me and a hot chocolate for Samantha. I drink my coffee black and can be pretty judgmental with taste. (I'm not picky, I'm an addict and will drink any coffee.) I think their coffee is pretty good. Much better than your standard Starbucks.

They're my favorite coffee in town, and this is coming from someone who's worked in multiple coffee shops here over the past 4 years. Nord's and a Sunergos is my go-to "treat yourself"

ALL FUCKING WOMEN ARE FUCKING GODDAMN EVIL. It's like I'm polite and funny and they associate that with weakness and it makes me disposable? Seriously fuck them. I'd rather be a single depraved loser than deal with any more fucking head games.
My cat has cancer in his spinal chord and he's going to die soon. I don't know why, but I might be more upset about this than any sickness that's happened to a human I know.
