I like this song, although it took awhile to grow on me as a teenager… I think that was due to the melody.

Since it’s, well, that time of the year again…
Since it’s December now, I’ve been working on the kids’ progress notes for homeschool. I knew that I would be adding more to them before the end of the month, but I’m already partway through with Bub’s and am happy with the progress I’ve made with it so far! With any luck, I should finish writing the things that I would like to write down for Bub’s progress in a matter of days, and then I can start on his brother’s. I make use of more textbooks for Monster’s homeschool sessions, so it involves “digging” information out of those books to put into his notes that he’s covered or worked on, which isn’t particularly annoying but does take some time. Due to Bub’s younger age and more severe disability, I use less textbooks to supplement his educational need although I do use them. I’ll get to that as I get further in the process of covering their progress made.
This has gotten substantially more tolerable than it’s been in the past, although I’ve managed to keep good notes for years. I don’t have to keep them as per state law as it relates to homeschooling, but I happily supply them to the state as needed so that the kids’ disabilities continue to be documented by way of educational progress since I… don’t trust the local school district here and would not trust it for, well, shit.
Happy seventeenth birthday, Monster! I love you!
Every single second of this song is glorious.
I’ve loved this song since it came out, and I’ve loved She Wants Revenge for years. I am shameless.
Something about this girl fascinates me
She’s the type that likes to hang with stars
The way she makes me feel, it sedates me
Who knew we would take it this far
I have since finally set the webcam up! Go me!
For Christmas, I got the kids one of those gaming chairs that you can rock back and forth in. I can sit in it too if I’d like to, even though the last time I sat in one of these was when I myself was a child so it feels a bit awkward (and will take some getting used to). I can certainly fit on it, and sit on it, no problem… except for the whole “rocking back and forth” thing because that feels awkward due to me not having done it in decades. I also got a new webcam for our computer, and a much better one at that, for streaming purposes. The kids can also use it to talk to relatives of theirs on Zoom if they would like, although I don’t think any relatives that I know of have Zoom, so I’d have to walk them through the process of setting all of that up on whatever computer or mobile device they use. If it’s something that the kids want to do, I’m in support of it.
I also got a larger HDD for our laptop so that Bub can store more of his games on it, which he will love!
In addition, I know that I’m getting the Corpse Husband gloomy bear and a copy of the hoodie he put out.
