My kids have been having a wonderful year in school. Both have been bullied to the point of retaliation (YAY RHIA! Give him another one in the face for me…), one has been having a bitch of a time with the replacement teacher (the one that started the year had a baby…and we miss her like crazy!) being a total cu…pain in the as… difficult person.

I received an email from Giovanna Lagana (EIC of Lachesis Publishing) on Friday, letting me know that she and Carole Spencer (Publisher, owner of Lachesis) have decided to offer me a position as Junior Editor.

I’ll behave. I promise.
