How Do You Tame A Bitch!?

First of all, let me say:  Thank you Aunt Kathleen for the book!  I'm so excited!  I didn't know he had a "new" one out and Wally Lamb is one of my favorite authors!  I can't wait to read it!

Now, onto my bitch saga!  Yes, she's back and yes she's like a "raptor kitten" but less like a kitten and more like a raptor!  Anyway, Tazi has nearly driven me over the edge.  So, yesterday, I'm getting ready to teach my 2nd period class (LA).  The kids are coming in and Diablo said something silly.  Well, of course being the bossy bitch that she is, Tazi had to direct him to NOT do something.  I calmly said to her that it isn't her place to instruct other students how to act, that she gets pissed when ANYONE tells her what to do and she needs to take a lesson from her own self.  Done.  And you know that being Diablo, once he knows he's paid the slightest amount of attention due to something he's done (no matter if it's negative or not) he's going to hone in on the person.  So of course, later, the kids are almost done with their work - 10 minutes early - and I tell them that if everyone turns their questions in, we'll do something fun (I was going to show a Tom and Jerry because Diablo LOVES them).  I turn my back for 1 second and next thing I know, Tazi is tattling that Diablo hit her.  Well, I know what happened, he went by her and patted her on the back - just like he does to everyone.  BUT!!!  I've been trying to get him to stop touching people so I made him come sit on the floor next to me and so he couldn't interact with the class the rest of the period.  He said, "Am I in time out?!"  Yup!  He was upset especially since I informed him that we now wouldn't be watching T&J.  He said, "I get so mad when I get in trouble!!!"  Yeah, me too. 

I decided then that I needed to talk to Tazi regarding her reactions to Diablo.  You know, explaining that D has certain issues that cause him to act a bit immature and while I'm not condoning them, there needs to be a bit less reaction on her part because that's part of why he continues in on her.  So during her study hall, I pull her aside and say that I'd like to discuss Diablo with her.  Well, it's like I opened Pandora's Box and all the evils of the world poured out!  She said (with a bitchy sneer on her face), "Are you going to tell me that you're going to make him stop being so annoying to me all the time!?"  Me: "Well, I'm going to try and explain to you a bit about him and why he acts the way he does."  Her:  "Just make him stop being so annoying."  Me: "If you'll just stop for a minute, I'll explain.  He can't always help how he's acting."  Her:  "He does it just to be annoying. He can help it!"  Well, at this point, I knew that she wasn't going to listen.  She immediately went on the defensive and so I told her to go away because there wasn't any reason to speak to her if she wasn't going to have a rational conversation. Maybe I should have explained to her that just like she has issues where no one can talk to her and just like she has no friends because she's a complete and total bitch - those mental issues are similar to the ones that Diablo has.  Their brains are effed up.  OOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!  She frustrates me so much. 

Breathe!  Breathe!  Rid yourself of the mean thoughts!

K - I'm better now.  Especially because I know that it's Curling is Cool Day!  YEAH!!! 

Well, I have nothing else to say and I need to finish getting ready.  Later!
