And I leave work at noon today! I'm so excited. The car dealer called me yesterday so I am going over there after work to hear his best and final. Hopefully it's what I want. No word on the dog.
When I picked up C at school last night I was informed that he and another kid were basically bullying (with words, not hands) a younger boy and his mom. Yes, they were name calling his mom too. Isn't that lovely? The boy he was in cahoots with is such a bad match for C and since he started there in September I have had my eye on them. They are toxic together is the best way to put it. The other kid is a little bit older and honestly, he's kind of manipulative. He comes up with horrible ideas for other people to do and sits back and laughs when they get in trouble. I've watched it happen a number of times. This boy obviously isn't to blame here, C can be a shit. This is his first time really having an issue at school and I am mortified. The mom was really upset, as I would be. I don't know who it is though so I can't do anything about it. The school is working on keeping C and the boy he was in cahoots with separate. They are in a separate group anyway but they two groups get together a lot. In the meantime I had a very long talk with C last night about treating others the way we want to be treated and informed him that if I hear of this stuff again, toys will be going away.
Happy Friday!

wedding - since you don't know who it is, I would have C draw a card for them and write a quick apology on there and give it to the teacher to hand over. That way it teaches C to apologize, and she sees you take it seriously Just a thought, I think it would make me feel better if I was in your shoes.

I'm here. It's cold. Yesterday the other guy in my hallway came into my office to ask if I was cold. I told him all that happened and gave him my thermometer to see how cold his office was. He was in a coat and said his fingers were to cold to type. After 45 minutes he came back and it had gotten down to 62 and was still dropping. He left and went home to work. He's IT so he can work remote. Hopefully he complains to his boss.. He's a very loved employee so maybe his boss will make something be done.

Morning! TGIF. I am ready for a break where my DH can do all the parenting. It’s supposed to snow again today (it lightly flurried yesterday evening) up to 3in so that’s fun. I’m planning to take the girls to the mall later this morning. I need more wallflowers from BBW and I will let the girls play at the play area. And then Starbucks, I got a couple of gc for Christmas because people know me well lol.

You don’t have to do that. They have things besides coffee there: tea, food, tumblers, etc.

Speaking of coffee, the person in front of me bought mine today. So I paid for the person behind me. I love when that happens.

Morning and hi! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and everyone is feeling better. Sorry to be MIA, I developed my first (and hopefully last) case of mastitis the last day of vacation. I felt terrible on the way home Wednesday; thankfully I had some leftover abx that I could start until I got to urgent care yesterday. We really enjoyed the holiday in SC. Now that we're home, our house looks like ToysRUs exploded so we will be doing a toy purge this weekend. B is *loving* his new bike; of course, it is barely freezing out so DH and I are not enjoying supervising quite as much No big plans this weekend; I have a couple mail-returns to make but otherwise I think we'll just be relaxing, watching football, and getting organized.

I read a really good book by John Rosemond, a child psychologist, over the weekend, "The Well-Behaved Child". (I have always been a fan of his column but after his potty-training tips worked so well on B, I was even more intrigued; this was the first book of his I have picked up). I really liked what he had to say. Just an FYI for anyone who's interested...it focuses on ages 3-13.

I tried to have him make a card last night and he said "Well B (the other bully) needs to right ME a card because he called ME a baby too!" We didn't get much farther than that. I told him that he needs to apologize to the boy today and his mom if he sees her.

Morning, all! wedding, I know that has to be so upsetting with C, but I love the idea of writing a card. I'm going to try on a few tops I received for Christmas, but I already know one is the wrong size, so I might see if I can talk my H into a Costco run this afternoon to return/exchange it. I have a doctor's appointment this morning for an official diagnosis so insurance will cover a couple blood draws for beta levels. I still can't believe I requested them as much as I hate bloodwork, but having that information has been so helpful when complications came up.

My friend had a “secret” induction yesterday and I’m anxiously awaiting an announcement text. I say “secretly” because her DH works with my DH and he was telling people there on wed (not my DH though, he heard it through the grapevine). Also, I invited her to come over for a play date yesterday and she didn’t show up or tell us she wasn’t coming. Not sure why she wouldn’t have just told me that when I invited her to come over on Tuesday, but whatevs. (I want to disclaim this that I support people getting inductions, I got one myself, and I support people having privacy surrounding their birthing experience. I just find it odd her husband was telling people at work about it but she didn’t tell her close friends). I want to see the baby!

My friend that has all the complications didn't tell anyone about her pregnancy but her H was telling anyone and everyone that would listen at work lol. I found out that way.

UO alert - Maybe I'm a scrooge, but if someone in front of me is paying, I feel obliged to get something simple and kind of would be pissed if I went into buy a drip coffee and the person behind me was paying for a group order or $5 fancy lattes. I get it in spirit, but feel like the passing it on immediately becomes an obligation. FWIW I've only been involved once and a guy bought coffees for the 5 people behind him and that was that.

I had a scheduled induction with B, and we didn't keep the date a secret, although after the rough ride, I'd have been okay with fewer people coming up to visit. The nurses finally hung a DND sign on my door so I could get some rest.

Solved my Monday "problem" of Cadence's school being closed. Told mh I was going to have a "me day" and he would be caring for Cadence. So I'll get organized this weekend and take Monday for myself. Cadence is super excited to get her big girl bed set up this weekend, so I need to at least make sure that gets done.

Well this was in the drive through. So I had already ordered. If I'm wanting to do it, I always ask what the cost is, if it's to high then I just say next time and the cashier always understands. Normally it's like 4.50. Sometimes it's like 99 cents if they just got plain coffee lol.

tallb I see what you mean. You’re not really doing someone a kindness or a favor if they have to pay for someone else’s stuff any way.

tallb, I was kind of wondering how you pay for someone else without knowing what they want. How did that work peachsmama? ETA. Ok I see you explained. That makes sense.

The only time it’s happened to me is at the drive thru so it doesn’t affect what I order because I don’t find out about it until the window (it’s happened twice). In that case you could ask the barista how much the order behind you is and pay it forward another way if it’s too expensive or whatever.

tallb , I was kind of wondering how you pay for someone else without knowing what they want. How did that work peachsmama ? Drive through. There's space for 3 cars. Someone is paying/getting their stuff, the person who just ordered and the person at the speaker, and then of course the line behind them. So I had just ordered as he was paying. He got 3 boxes of donuts through the drive thru so I'm sure he felt bad for my wait and thats why he paid.

The nurses finally hung a DND sign on my door so I could get some rest. This is their 4th kid, and they don’t have anyone up to the hospital so that’s not an issue. If someone told me to wait to visit them until they went home I would respect those wishes. With their 3rd I’m pretty sure they didn’t send the text until they got home.

And hello everyone! Long time no chat. I was supposed to be WFH today but mh is sick w the stomach bug that I had yday so I dropped the kids off at school and cane into the office. I don’t plan on being here past 1pm though. I’m thinking to maybe go get my nails done before I pick up the kiddos though.

It happens a lot at our Dunkin and honestly, I think it's because of the staff. Everyone is so friendly and it's like a community in there. It makes people feel loved and giving.

If the people behind you cost too much, you could always say "oh, put $5 towards their total" or whatever.
