We go to Starbucks on campus way too much and have gotten to know many of the employees, most of whom are students . Sometimes I bake them treats. The manager is like 25 and always seems to grab them. He tells me how good they are but rarely thanks me. Yesterday we have them to a nice young man. He was very excited about them which made me smile. Today when we went in he said," Those M&M cookies made my heart feel good. I was having a terrible day and they cheered me up. Thanks a lot." That made my whole day. Such a polite and heart felt thank you and you could tell he meant it.
Today was a disaster at work. The other special ed teacher had a bad sub in for her and my aide called out sick with no sub. I'm exhausted.
However, I'm off tomorrow for j 6 month appointment.

Hi all, trying to catch up. I took my nursing boards on Monday and found out today that I passed! What a huge relief. Hopefully that means I'll be around more now that I'm done studying but I do need to start job hunting. jt2378, ugh, sorry about the pink eye. My niece and my friend's daughter both have it right now too. Must be going around. Hope she's feeling better. GL with your surgery. I'm sure you're anxious to get it over with! @easilyunamused, M has reverted back to really awful sleep too, so I feel your pain. I hope things are going better with A tonight! king26, what a sweet kid! And that's really nice of you to bring them treats. I go to SB pretty much every day and I've never thought to bring the employees anything. I suck.

thinkchocolate05, as much as I want M to start crawling I'm also totally not ready for it. I'm sure it's exhausting, so I hope yh can figure out a different way to contain J that doesn't make him so upset! happyfeet9, GL on Friday! FX you can kiss the pump goodbye!

cali Congrats on passing your boards!! Wonderful news Yesterday evening was rough. 3 year old won't go to bed unless one of us lies next to him, but then he was shining his flashlight in my eyes and grabbing my hair to make a pretend moustache. He got multiple warnings that I was going to leave and daddy would put him to bed. I finally left, and dh came into the room with him. The little tyrant tantrummed for an hour! It was awful. I was talking to my sister on the phone but finally came up. He calmed down with me holding him and gulped a sippy of milk. 10 minutes later he burps really loudly and then straightens up in my arms and shouts, "I need a bowl so I can throw up." Dh gets him a dirty pan from the stove bc he didn't want him to dirty a bowl. I was like, seriously? Get him a bowl. He threw up right into the bowl as soon as he got it. It was soo weird, but I am thankful it wasn't all over me. I feel so bad for the little guy, though. His behavior right now is pretty difficult.

thinkchocolate05, I'm sorry but I can't help but laugh about your ds giving you a pretend mustache. I'm sure it was frustrating but it just sounds so cute and I can totally picture it. I hope this phase passes quickly for you though.

cali It was kind of funny but he was being so bad jt2378 I'm sorry yours is sick! I don't think mine is actually sick. He was just so worked up from crying and then drank his milk way too quickly.

cali Congrats on passing!! That’s an amazing accomplishment when you have a young baby! We had friends in town visiting with their almost 2 yr old for the past 5 days. It was so great to see them, but man, extra people in the house is exhausting. DD is getting her first 2 teeth and also trying to crawl, so she’s been refusing to nap. Yesterday she only napped once. Today she fell asleep in the car when we took DS to/from preschool and then just went down in the crib for a legit nap. I hope she works it all out soon!

J is miserable tonight. I know it's the shots but I'm exhausted. He's been up every 2 hours. We both fell asleep in the chair in his room at one point. He just wants to be held and I feel bad because I know he just isn't feeling well.

Oh I'm sad. One of my former special ed students who is now in high school got arrested last night for threatening to kill people at school via social media. Makes my heart hurt.

N is sick. Two nights in a row of terrible sleep, I ended up on his futon last night instead of going back and forth from the two rooms. He slept ok once I snuggled with him on the couch but woke up a lot. Since I was there I was quick to shush him and calm him and let him feed a few min and fall back asleep. Been giving Tylenol today and hoping he sleeps better. We will see... sigh. At least he had decent naps today. king26 I’m so sorry about your old student. That is really sad.

jt2378 oh no, I hope both kids are better soon. addymac I hope N is better soon and that you get some rest. Baby h has a fever. Sigh. This winter seems like it will never end. He's on a nursing strike too, although I just got him to nurse to sleep for the first time in about two weeks. I still have a goal of a year for nursing, but baby h is much less interested in it than his brother was.

I’ve had a horrible head cold this weekend. I don’t know how I’m producing so much snot. I had chills and a slight fever yesterday. T was sick last weekend and hopefully R doesn’t catch it. So, I’ve had over a month of heavy bleeding, hemorrhoids, and now a bad head cold - I’m tired of not feeling well.

bsouls ugh I’m sorry you’ve been feeling so crappy. I hope you feel better soon and that R doesn’t get it. I worked last night. Apparently N had a decent nights sleep- went down at 8, woke up to eat at 11 (we knew this would happen bc he had a meltdown and went to bed without his usual nighttime bottle) and then slept til 4..... WHY DOES HE DO THIS WHEN IM NOT HOME????? I’m mostly glad he slept well- he did stay up for a bit at 4am but it’s about 8:30 and he’s still asleep..... I was supposed to stay up and hang out with him while DH napped this morning but I’m done with my breakfast and he’s still asleep... can I go to bed?? I’m sad bc I wanted to BF him but it seems as though I may have to pump (ughhhh) and then go to bed. I miss snuggling with him

He just wants to be held and I feel bad because I know he just isn't feeling well. Yes. I went through this Friday night and last night. It was soo awful. The twins alternated wake ups but I was legit up from 11pm - 5:30am with a kid in my arms. Thankfully, they feel a bit better this morning.

I think j is trying to drop his 4th nap. 3 days in a row now he has fought his 2nd nap so much we've had to just go and get him up. I wish we knew for sure though because the hysterical crying kills me

I hope you that are sick or have sick kiddos feel better soon!
It’s so nice out and is supposed to get really windy later, so we did an early walk. I pushed it a little too long tho, and A was melting down the the stroller the last 5 mins. I was feeling a little embarrassed, (super busy trail) but then was over it cause kids cry sometimes. Now he’s passed out in the car seat in the car because of course he is.
