Random thread- for all things random.

Re: Random thread- for all things random.
I need @ghostof5letters to go ahead and figure out 21 week's random item. Please and thank you.
We just got back from our A/S and the tech said the baby didn't "reveal" for her, but I SWEAR I saw some thing. Is she lying? do you guys think it's a boy or girl? I don't have a pic for you to judge, but still... can you tell?
In the middle of a meeting, I get a phone call from my children's school. Some kid not only pushed and kicked my daughter, but he then took a thumbtack (yes, I said a fucking thumbtack) and tried to stab her. Now, Emma is very petite and easily bruises. Also, she doesn't know how to handle violence. So she's got a bruise on her stomach now and was crying until I got there. When I got to the school, the kid's mom was there acting like it wasn't as big of a deal as it was. Not only that but the principle just suspended him. His little rotten ass needs to be expelled because this is not the first time he's acted this way. So when the mom reacted the way she did all nonchalant, I laid her ass out right there. I seriously considered beating her with a chair. If he doesn't get expelled, I'm taking my kids out of that school. I'm so fucking pissed with the whole situation. Emma is ok though. She's calmed down and is now happily enjoying some hot chocolate.
Random vent: So DH's hobby is saltwater fish and corals. We have 2 huge fish tanks in our apt with rare fish and he grows and sells rare corals. It's not really a money maker since he puts money into it as well, but he's not been putting money into it recently and saving the money he has been making as we're about to move.
We've saved up everything we need, but we're still hoarding money for repairs and moving expenses, etc.
Well the other day he tells me that I need to make sure not to spend any of the money we have in checking right now (obviously besides eating and bills) because we want to save as much money as possible. He said it kind of condecendingly like I'm too stupid to realize that the money is not play money. I told him I'm not an idiot and in fact a much better saver than he is.
Now today he calls me and says that he's going to buy a very rare coral for $500 (apparently it's worth $1000) and his friend is going to keep it for him until we move. He justified it by saying that we have plently of money to move and when this coral grows out, it'll be worth $1000/frag. I'm all for making extra money on the side but the fact that he's allowed to go spend money on his hobby and I can't go to Target really irks me. He was like "I just don't want you to be mad, but I really want this coral and it's worth a lot."
Usually when he knows I'm pissed off, he'll clean the kitchen and start the laundry and get DD to pick up her toys. All I'm saying is that house better be spotless when I get home!
Caitlin, that's kind of fucked up. You need some money to go enjoy and he can keep playing with his fish and corals. Sounds pretty though. Post a pic later.

She's in a small private school. He's actually in the class above her but, the kids all come together after snack time.

Omg, wtf is that ridiculousness? That's so terrible and I'm upset just hearing about it. Did she and her baby turn out alright?
----------------------
I'm so glad they're both well! But there really are some Effed up schools in Philly for sure. My neighbor's daughter who is a teacher was beaten up by some kids for not rewarding them with candy. The amount of violence in this city is disgusting and I wish I could just home school.

Holy shit. I would have pressed charges.
Also, when I was a kid I would eat salt and vinegar chips and corn chips in lieu of meals all through school. I dreamt last night that I finally found the brand in stores and was elated. I woke up all ready to order a case each from their website this morning, only to find out that the brand was bought out by a far inferior brand and my favorites aren't available anymore. First-world devastation, yo.
@Caitlinrj I can definitely understand the frustration. DH is the spender in our house and I'm the saver. I think its kind of unfair though that he asks you to watch your spending but then he can go and spend hundreds. Yes it will make money eventually but why not buy it later once you have moved and used the savings you guys are working so hard to accrue?
