Ohio Mom Kelley Williams-Bolar Jailed for Sending Kids to Better School District → abcnews.go.com

What if all education systems, in all schools were equal? Why does the school from the predominantly black neighborhood perform far below the school from the predominantly white neighborhood? Communities are being torn apart because parents are untrusting of the center of their community that should be educating and enriching the lives of those very people who live within it. Parents don’t have a lot of choices when they are searching for the best schools for their children. Can’t move to a better neighborhood, can’t get into a magnet school, or can’t get into a charter school- what’s left? It’s completely unfortunate that lying becomes the best option.

There is something bigger going on here.

In Cleveland, Ohio it is illegal to catch mice without a hunting license.

good thing I don’t live here, because the mouse who has called my lovely box of a dorm room as his home is about to go DOWN. i am a big, tall person who will not be defeated by a itty bitty mouse. ehhhh?!

things that made me happy today
  • successfully making pancakes 
  • carlyn’s garage 
  • wacko tow truck driver
  • hot chocolate 
  • impromptu dinner/movie date 
  • no traffic on 6-95 

in other words, this list does not contain snow (not a coincidence), although I’ll make an exception for this little man:

here’s to the crazy lady actually hoping there is class tomorrow!
