I feel very unattractive and old lately.  I don't know why.

Russian Boy

If any of the following is true:

"Hansen chronicled a list of problems: hitting, screaming and spitting at his mother and threatening to kill family members."

"the 7-year-old's violent episodes — which culminated in a threat to burn the family's home to the ground"

'"He drew a picture of our house burning down and he'll tell anybody that he's going to burn our house down with us in it," she said. "It got to be where you feared for your safety. It was terrible."'

I would have put little bad ass on a plane to NOWHERE. Had she allowed this child to remain in the home with his serious psychological issues, he quite possibly would have made good on his many threats. Then people would criticize her for NOT doing anything about it.  People are so quick to criticize until it's their lives in danger.

weirdness

Last night, I dreamed that:

- A coworker moved in across the street. No idea why I would dream about her becoming my neighbor. Further, her husband was a postal worker who parked all of the mail trucks at their house.

- I went to the doctor to pick up some blood work and there was something wrong with my pancreas and I was pregnant

- I never showed up to work one day because there was a combo of floodwaters and slush blocking the streets. I never called or showed up. I've dreamed about not showing up to work (for various reasons) several times lately.
