- I guess I should start with the basics. I'm Amanda, and I've decided to blog as a way to vent. I like to read other people's blogs, so we'll see how this goes. Hope you like it!

I Wish My Kids Would Put on Their Big Girl/Boy Panties!
I still have a lot to blog about, but I really need to write this before I go to bed. Work has been hell for the past few weeks. A decent percentage of the kids have had *horrible* behavior. Tonight, for example, one of our kids on administrative lockdown (because his behavior has been that bad) had to be wrestled...again. He's supposed to be earning his way out, but blew it tonight. I really don't care about this kid, but his acting up prevented the two kids who earned really good grades this week from getting their privileges...staying up late to watch a movie with pizza and pop. That pisses me off! I'm so tired of this shit-bag behavior. And it's not outright aggressive behavior...I can handle that. No, they get caught breaking the rules, they get consequences, then they throw a baby fit about it. AND THEY KNOW THE RULES BEFORE THEY BREAK THEM!!! I don't freaking get it. And I don't really care anymore. We just have a handful of *cancers* that we need to get out of our building. Some are leaving early next week, so I'm hoping behavior improves. It's just ridiculous. I had a kid lie to my face tonight. There's nothing I hate more than a liar! And I promptly told him that. I know that it can't be easy to be in detention, but these kids causing the trouble are repeat offenders....they knew what they were in for, and still broke the law to be arrested. I don't feel sorry for them! I really don't. And most are headed to prison...this shit will not be tolerated there. Hopefully they figure that out sooner rather than later. I did, however, get to use my favorite line today. A kid accused me of being racist. I told him to not think he was special, as I'm not racist, I just hate everyone! Totally not true, but he didn't have much to say after that! Thank God I still have a sense of humor! Thanks for listening...I'm sure there will be more to follow!

I've been meaning to tell you that the other day Collin and I were talking about something, can't remember what, and he says - well, I guess I'll have to just put on my big boy panties. I about died! I knew you'd love it!
Sorry to hear about work. It seems like it's about this time of year that my mom starts to complain about behavious problems too. It must be spring fever. Hope things improve soon!
