My family has the Attention Deficit Disorder gene. I strongly suspect my daughter has some degree of ADD, which is making fourth grade a little more challenging for her than third or second grade.

So… I just got this friendly “progress report” that says Kinsey is a sweet and loving girl but she lacks organizational skills. What the hell am I supposed to do with that enlightening information, dear teachers?

Me to Kinsey: “Honey. GET ORGANIZED.”
Kinsey to me: [blank stare]

Look, she’s consistently getting A’s and B’s, even with the most disorganized mom in this galaxy as her role model. So I’m annoyed and frustrated by the unconstructive comments from the faculty.

My other favorite example? “Kinsey is missing some school supplies.” Can’t you people be a little more effin’ specific? Does she need paper? Maybe more pencils? Or, hey, perhaps she is missing DECENT TEACHERS?

And please, don’t get me started about the psycho bus driver…
