I found out that my lovely daughter has failed English for the 2nd year IN. A. ROW. so I must go kill her now. Okay so I won’t *kill* her, I’ll just make her life a living hell. Sounds like a plan to me ;o)</p><p>Two years in a row. Seriously, she’s lucky she’s not locked in her room living on bread & water (with cheese every third day so she doesn’t develop osteoporosis. Who says I’m not thoughful?)</p><p>At this point I’m a little too upset to give you guys anything other than snark and tears – and you deserve so much more than that. I shall endeavor to pull myself out of the wasteland of despair that is raising a teenager and find my ‘happy place’ tomorrow.</p><p>In the meantime I’ll be casting on something that’s nice plain, boring old vanilla stockinette. I need a mental break. (Yelling at a brick wall will do that to you.) <a href="http://jessaluknits.com/exit.php?url_id=1523&entry_id=220" title="http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter03/PATTfrenchmarket.html" onmouseover="window.status=’http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter03/PATTfrenchmarket.html’;return true;" onmouseout="window.status=”;return true;" target="_blank">French Market</a> bag, here I come!</p>
