I always feel odd when everyone says what time their kids get up here. School starts at 8 and bus is at 7:30. When I went to the office my kids were at daycare by 7:05. DS1 is up by like 6:30 at the latest. Shit for my old job we were out the door by 6:30 or I was going to be late. He was still up around 5:45 for the first few months after I switched/COVID. He's all in on 7:30 wake ups now though.

Elementary school here starts at 8:45. When DS goes in person I wake him around 7:30 and we leave the house around 8:15 (he could sleep later if he didn't take one hundred million thousand years to eat breakfast). Left to his own devices he sleeps til 8 or 8:30. I get up around 7. I hate it. Hate. It.
But when he starts middle school we'll have to get up even earlier and I really don't wanna.

I think it depends on when school starts for your kids and what time people start work. My youngest and oldest don't need to be at school or preschool until 8:45 and 8:55, 7:00 is the earliest we want them up and ideally they're sleeping until closer to 8. I'm at home but my H doesn't go in to work until 9ish. The middle child leaves for school at 7:30 but he doesn't need my help with breakfast so even then I don't get up before 7.
I've tried in the past to naturally change when I wake up and I just really don't do well with getting up before 7. If I have to I make it work obviously but we're all trying to stay in bed as long as we can in my house.
I really need to move to Germany. This is my dream schedule I'm not lying when I say that one of the big reasons my 5th grader picked his current school (everyone makes a big switch for 5-12 grade) was because of the 9 start time. There were additional reasons but H and I are dreaming about the day when they all start school at 9 in 7 years LOL.

I think part of what makes it different for me is I grew up the same as Ds1 except I went to before care at the school. But if your school started later and your job isn’t on what used to be a normal 8-5 schedule I can see it.
But neither of my kids are super sleepers either just like me. I go days on 5-6 hours of sleep a night and then one night of 8 hours and I’m recharged.

We binge watched pinkalicious and are now heading to the school yard, fingers crossed we get lucky again and have it to ourselves. I need a wagon and a camp chair to make life complete.

How long is an IUD string supposed to be? I thought they cut it pretty short but I can feel it loopdy-looping. Does that mean it has moved? I don’t think that would indicate a shift - the string is pliable. They cut mine shortish and it curled itself up against my cervix so that I can’t feel it at all (sorry for the tmi). My OB emphasized that if it was uncomfortable for me in regular life or got in the way with sex, they could trim and reposition it. piratecatMaybe listen to her better than my spiraling anxiety ridden post.

DS went to school in person yesterday for the first time in 396 days. I'm riding that quiet house high.

Mine does everything but eat breakfast and then is SHOCKED when I say we have to go, no time for breakfast now. Maybe don't play dress up with your dog for 20 min then, DS.

DS elementary starts at 9.10. We drive him to before school care just so they can bus him back to the school that is literally across the street from our house. It’s annoying but there’s no way either of us could take him in person and work full time

I've never felt my IUD even when it moved and flipped upside down. DH said that sometimes he has felt it but I've never felt it. Please go to a new OB and get an U/S. I don't think you are ready for an oops IUD baby! the never ending saga Well fuckity fuck.

This one is long but also like very noticeably there.

I had way better luck going that route and some companies don't openly advertise, they work directly with companies, so it opens up more options.

If nothing else, I can go work for the other side if I can find comparable pay, i.e. the actual logistics companies.

I like that route because they can pre-sell you to the company (great for people like me that absolutely suck at interviews) and they can sort out what is a good fit.

Also in word vomit news, my intermittent fasting is going well and I feel very great blood sugar wise and have lost a couple lbs. I know that's probably water weight but I'm super excited to add in some gym time soon. Waiting for finances to align to sign up for the gym. The DDD (Delay, Don't Deny) IF group on Facebook is really informative and helpful.

Really just overall not ok today. I need to find a new job but I don't even know where to look. It sounds like you need time off from work. Can you take some sick or vacation days? You seem pretty miserable and some time away can help you regroup and focus on making yourself happier? Like I know a week off isn't going to fix that but maybe it can give you some time and space.

My second grader is getting increased time in the outdoor classroom so I get to dress him for mud and ticks and do a tick check daily.
This also means that Ds1 and Ds2 are getting shorter haircuts.
Ds1 is going to be upset because he likes his hair long but he literally does not take care of it so we need to compromise.

Have you always been able to feel it since it's been inserted, or is this a change? MW could always feel mine, and so could I - the strings were pretty low.
