[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 490241, member: 1233"] (((((hugs))))) I am sorry it was such an awful day. I am glad that the principal didn't say a word. Please don't beat yourself up for tossing a drink on Q after he did it to you. I know how awful you feel, but it was an honest reaction and it didn't cause physical harm. I know he doesn't react the way others do, but sometimes you just react to things.
