mwhip I wrote an email to Cadence's teacher. I'm sure she read it and said oh, this is THAT mom. I just want her to know where Cadence is at and my concerns. We didn't have a chance to talk at meet the teacher. But I will own up to still being that helicopter mom. I can't help it. 🤷 I think in your case though, it's warranted. It's a medical condition you want them all aware of and I think that is perfectly reasonable.

Ugh I came down with something tonight and hoped I would just be a tummy ache and be done when I woke up. Well not so much. And now dd2 is crying because she only settles with me during the night and I’m let’s say not in a position to move from the spot I’m at. Sometimes I really don’t want to parent.

@klongoria! They made me actually lol. @nam, I think I would just want someone to listen. I'm sorry for her loss. Eta: I hope you fell better!! mwhip, I'm glad your boss was helpful! Also, I would be really appreciative of that letter. I know Eviw can advocate for herself but this is a big situation and it's important to let the teacher know nothing is too small to share with you if she notices anything during the school day.

mwhip I’m glad you wrote the letter. As a teacher, I’m notified of diabetics and seizure disorders before the first day. Everything else comes over the next few days and sometimes info gets lost in the shuffle. I’m sure E’s teacher appreciates you letting her know. peachsmama crazy over $70 at the time. My grandfather told us once he almost bought this beach house we used to rent when it went up for sale for like $30,000. It sold a few years ago for over 4 million!

Last year I felt so in the loop and this year I don’t know anything. Teachers just got their class lists today (except preschool, I’m still waiting).

wineallthetime Your poor sister. I'm so sorry. Wine and dinner is really nice of you. Will she be doing the pills, waiting for it to happen on her own or the D&C? Pills. Hoping she takes me up on taking my niece. So snoopmommymom talked me through my first miscarriage. Since she's doing the pills, I'd request to take her kids. I was literally on the floor on my hands & knees and Hope was telling me to go to the ER because we thought I was hemorrhaging. Afterwards, I know you're an amazing sister and will do a girls night and let her cry it out, drink, etc.

It's not an awful plan (masks inside, but optional outdoors, desks in the cafeteria for lunch by cohort -- 3 cohorts at a time, no visitors, virtual assemblies and open houses to begin) What really has me worried is that Charlie's class is somewhere around 18, and they were going to try something new this year by keeping them all together (instead of separating into two classes) with two teachers and two to four paras so they could try to reconfigure learning groups but also try some large group instruction. One of the teachers (the one Josie had) is no longer listed on the site and there is only one other K teacher, so I'm trying not to get worked up over this, but, of course I am. I'll wait til we have teacher info before I really freak!

My work finally decided to cancel the retreat. Now the hotel is trying to hook us to still pay for the rooms. So I’m working on that battle.
Today we were at 5.7% in RI which is very high for us. I’m trying to stay calm but when I thought I lost my sense of smell tonight I’m in the garage sniffing Cs shoes! After gagging, it is confirmed my smell is still in tact.

Thank you all for making me feel better about the email. No one had responded to it by time for back to school night, so I asked her teacher. She looked after we left and it was in her spam. She said she would let the counselor, nurse and PE teacher know to look for it as well.
I was kind of surprised how back to school night went. Masks are required in school, but it was basically an open house, for the entire school, for 1 hour. Her classroom was busy, which seemed like they should have planned it better, somehow, to limit how many people were in at a time.

[mention]wineallthetime [/mention] I’m sorry for your sisters loss. When my sister miscarried she just wanted to be alone. So I took her kids and her husband out for the day. It allowed he to process her feelings. However my other sister just wanted to hold her kids when it happened to her and watch her favorite movies and eat her favorite foods with them.

[mention]wedding [/mention] about time they cancelled the retreat. Most hotels that I have dealt with have been not charging anything as long as you cancel before 72 hours I think. I can see what some of the hotels I deal with what their policies are if you like.

I just took my final exam of my statistics class. I already did the quiz and homework for this week. All I have left to do is my final case study.
Teacher still has to grade the quiz, homework, and last weeks discussion but if I get 0s on everything I drop from a high A to a low B. I kind of want to phone in my last case study. But I’m not sure.

Evie's first day of school is Wednesday, so I sent an email this morning to her school nurse, teacher, and PE teacher and asked them to forward to the counselor because I don't know who that is. It made me sad to sit down and have to write it all out about Evie's JIA and try to explain how it effects her again. Last year was kind of living through it as it happened. This was the history and how it might effect her. I hope they don't think I'm a crazy, overbearing mom, but I just want them to be aware. Tonight is back to school night, so we will take her supplies in and meet her teacher. I think it’s great that you reached out to give them the information. With Sierra, I have sent in books for story time about her epilepsy and hydrocephalus. It helped give the kids a better understanding of her. I’ve also printed out some fact sheets for the teachers. They seem to appreciate it. Of course, like you, I worry that they think I am the crazy overbearing mom. 😂

I can see what some of the hotels I deal with what their policies are if you like. Thank you. We were able to get out of it by bringing up the $100,000+ we spent there there in 2019. They backed down quickly to preserve the relationship.

mwhip not overbearing at all, it can only be nice for the teachers to have some information about a child. We’ve always done this about ds’ eating problems 🤷🏼♀️.
