willow can you get some noise cancelling headphones? Earplugs? White noise machine? I’m sorry, I wouldn’t be able to handle that either.

This is crazy. Looks fun but I'd probably accidentally kill myself.

Earplugs might help though I am not infrequently on phone calls or in court so that doesn’t help during those times. I’m hoping this week will be better. They were less fussy today but I’m not sure if that was because they had mama around all day to cater to them and they are just obsessed with me. Hoping it’s just their little tummies still adjusting to the cows milk. I gave them probiotics for the first time and maybe that will keep helping.

willow, maybe you need to change over to cow's milk at a slower rate?

It sounds like this might be a weekend for some of us to hunker down and avoid life. I ran into a car in my driveway because I thought I had the other car in park and it rolled down. I jumped in but hit the brake too late. Both cars in the scenario belong to us.
Came back from our first date night in over a year, thanks to vaccines and visiting parents, only to find a dad under the sink and a receipt for some plumbing supplies from 30 minutes after we left. The kids were still awake so I put them to bed. It was a nice date otherwise.
I beg those of you having a good weekend, take care. The rest of us, good luck.

7yo baseball game, opposing coach wore MAGA hat. Kids aren’t giving high fives at end of game, same coach comes up and insists on high giving each kid and players. GTFO dude. Trying to decide how to handle going forward as there are very few teams and we will play them 3 more times.
ETA - would feel the same if coach wore any political hat. But being in my kids face until he got his high five and then the rest of the kids is where I’m frustrated. That team wasn’t following other basic rules and this wasn’t the first game. I’m maybe at a 4 over it, but would rather have the adult behave as they should, butt instead will be working with my child on saying no to this adult and any other going forward.

Ew clucky that sucks. I’m sure that dude isn’t going to change himself in any meaningful way so I guess your kid gets to learn how to deal with assholes? Ugh, I’m sorry.

I have a friend moving to silver springs and she is freaking out about schools. Is DC moms an appropriate resource? I've seen people talk about it on here. Any other resources?

If y’all have good vibes available, please send them to Texas so my H can find another job. My H is in a truly toxic work environment. We have consulted a lawyer, but since the slimebucket owner doesn’t quite break a law, the lawyers advice is to quit. Since he has a family to support that’s not an option. 😕 I’m worried about his health at this point. ☹️

I am late 30s and my skin still feels like a teenager. I have had terrible skin for years. In the last few months, I have been adopting a Korean beauty routine. It has been lovely and my skin has never looked better. Such a relief!

I met an IRL close friend through DC moms before I found the bump, so it's not necessarily the worst, but maybe not the best. I think if you are in MD, it is at least a few degrees down from the DC public school lottery nonsense. I think thechickencoop is in MD and bazi is in DC, if you ladies have any thoughts.

I found out bummer news today and need to put it somewhere. DS’s teacher from last year (1st grade) was just diagnosed with breast cancer. She’s so young and is planning her wedding. I hope they caught it early. She’s on leave for the rest of the year and the class she had has an awesome sub. But the kiddos found out (even though the school asked on behalf of the teacher that the kids not be told her exact illness) and I’m sure they are sad and scared.

jaygee, I need your help! MH is going to SF next week for work. He needs restaurant recommendations. Have any good ones I can pass along to him? Their office is downtown, and that's where they're staying, if that helps.

You can certainly get unvarnished opinions, but it’s definitely not representative of the entire region. I’d use it as a data point, not necessarily a guide. There’s a Silver Springs Parents groups.io listserv. I’d start there. On the whole, Montgomery County schools are very good.

Hey y'all, can you please keep thinking good thoughts for my dog, Ruby? She was diagnosed with IMHA (anemia) on Wednesday. On Sunday we had to bring her to NC State vet hospital because she still wasn't doing well, and she's been there ever since. Multiple blood transfusions, steroids, IV fluids etc later - she's still struggling with keeping her red blood cell and platelet count up. She's only 6 and she's the light of our lives. I don't know what we would do without her. I need her to get better and come home

Let me check with a friend and get back to you.
