I made progress with packing last night! I need to finish up tonight since we're leaving for the beach as soon as I get off of work tomorrow.
I've got to get to work early today so I can run on lunch to get the pottery I took my niece to paint on lunch. She picked out a full size skull, I can't wait to see it. Speech again this afternoon. It's so nice to have a therapist that works with us, I look forward to it now instead of dreading it.
Happy Thursday everyone!

Up and at the gym but feeling yucky. Already ran to the bathroom twice (sorry, TMI). I may have drank my water too fast this morning. Also, my right hamstring is so damn sore. I'm in a bowling league on Wednesday nights and I got new bowling shoes a few weeks ago. Since then, my approach is all off whack and I am somehow landing in a way that literally feels like I am being stabbed in my leg. I feel like I only come here to complain lately so... Sorry about that

I took on another little girl to babysit so now I have G on Mondays and Wednesdays then Z on Thursdays and Fridays. G is.... tough. I've worked with children long enough to know there is something there... Maybe on the Autism Spectrum? Maybe ADHD? .. I hate saying that about a 2yo but every red flag is there. What bugs me is that her mom is a social worker with a degree in Special Ed. She doesn't see it in her own child? ...sigh... G also goes to preschool the days she's not with me so I'm hoping her teachers will address it with her mom.

I'm just going to keep talking because none of my gym buddies are here and I haven't participated on here much lately... Amelia is doing really well with potty training!! I literally can't believe it. She stayed dry all day yesterday but did have 2 poops in her diaper. But after she did them she ran to the potty and wanted to flush them sooo that's promising!

taketheshot don't feel bad saying that about a 2 yr old. Someone said that about mine at 2.5 and they were right. I actually don't think it's uncommon for a parent to be complete unaware when it comes to their own.

*trigger sick kid*
I woke to read a post from my friend from high school. We were pretty close and stay in touch through fb. Their son, L, who is 4, has been having some spasms and headaches. The drs kept saying that's all it was. They finally took him to another hospital. The ER. They did an MRI and others tests and he has a fucking cancerous brain tumor. They had to do surgery to reduce fluid the tumor was blocking and today he's get another MRI so they can make pinpoints for surgery for a biopsy and removal. Tomorrow will be the surgery and it will be a minimum of 8 hours. The biopsy will determine the type of cancer and treatment. The tumor is located on the brain stem and they aren't going to be able to remove it all. It's going to be a long recovery and they'll still have treatment.... and the tumor won't be completely gone. I am heartbroken. Please say some prayers.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion she doesn't see it. There's much more at play here; if anything the degree might make her more aware of things. She may be pursuing it privately, she may be attempting to self diagnose, she may be waiting to see if it's a developmental phase or a bigger issue, she may be embrassades and self blame BECaUSE she has a degree etc.. There could be a number of reasons she doesn't say anything to you about it. If you're concerned, mention the symptoms your seeing but be wary of suggesting a diagnosis unless you have the qualifications to do so. Having her hear what she sees could be a push to realize and admit it's a bigger problem. Tough situation all around.

Any nurses left on here? I had more blood work completed this week for my next thyroid appointment. My glucose is high - from what i have read it's a sign of being pre diabetic. I wanna know if this is too high or still nothing to worry about.

taketheshot, I would consider gently bringing it up with the parent. If the child is on the spectrum, then the earlier the intervention, the better. My sister suspected something with her son before he was two, and it took her almost a full year to get him a formal diagnosis (although he was able to get some therapies before then.) ETA: I mean gently bringing up some of the odd behaviors you've observed. Like 45thparallel said, I wouldn't make a suggestion of a diagnosis. But this might be something she suspects or is already pursuing, and your additional observations could be helpful/ validating.

Tonight is the rehearsal dinner for BIL's wedding and then the wedding is tomorrow. It's going to be a LONG ass day for the kids and I'm nervous how they're going to act walking down the aisle at 6:30 pm. We need to be at the venue by 1:30 so I'm hoping I can get DS to take an early nap (11 - 12:30/1ish) so he wont be a TOTAL mess by then... But who knows.. Maybe he'll surprise me.

Also, my saint of a mother is attending the wedding solo (my dad isn't going because obvious reasons), but she is coming out with us to help watch the kids while I have to do pictures and shit. She is going to bring them back to the room after cocktail hour to put them to bed/watch them. I owe that woman my life for what she does for our family.

Betweenthelines are you in the wedding? I would personally do white but if you're wedding that might be too loud. In that case, I'd do a very dark color like you posted (I love that color btw)

That dress color would be hard to match without taking it to the store and testing colors, which sounds like way too much work.

It's a super deep purple - looks almost black. That would go nice with that shoe. What color is your dress again? Im not a huge fan of the deep reddish colors bc I find they don't wear well (pull too much red in my skin).
