Days Like This I Wish That Raindrops Would Fall

or a nice thunderstorm. I'm in a pollen induced hell. There's no nice way to put it. My car is a lovely shade of yellow and every time I set foot outside my face swells and I end up with a nasty sinus headache or worse migraine.

I really hate spring.

Do You Wanna Have Sex? Check Yes, No, Maybe


That's what went through my mind when I heard about the latest Laurens County teacher arrest. 23 year-old Allenna Williams Ward was arrested Wednesday for charges of engaging in sex with at least 5 of her 7th grade students ages 14 and 15. Clinton authorities say these incidents go back as far as December until 2 weeks ago.


Her reign of pleasure (sorry, couldn't help myself) was brought to an end when she passed a letter to one of her students. The student and several others took it to the school principle where she immediately began an investigation.
This arrest comes a year after the infamous arrest of Wendie Ann Schweikert in Laurens. I must say the Clinton school district handled this case much better than Laurens.
