Peekaru insurance refuses to give more OT because his ADHD is an exclusion. (But wasn't last year and wasn't when they asked "are there exclusions") The place we do Therapy doesn't want us to pay out of pocket because our bill is to high (insurance originally only covered when we met our deductible and while we've been making regular payments it's still high). The school OT is only at our school on Wednesday's and has to fit all the kids in. We get 30 min week. So in short, no. There isn't a way to get more OT. His doctor did say that they want to try look into other possible diagnoses to allow OT. But we'll see. I am trying to look into other ways but coming up blank

We are taking S1 of one med and trying another. This is a pill rather than a liquid. So this is going to be so much fun to teach him how to swallow it. Wish us luck. We've been trying to swallow mini m&m's tonight with little luck.

Forgot about the neighbor's birthday party this Sunday (a joint party for the 4 yr old and 6 yr old), so I had to amazon prime some gifts. It will be a race to see if they get here before the party, eek.
I didn't bring food with me to work today, and now I'm hungry but can't leave to get anything. 4 more hours to go.
My kiddo is a weirdo. I heard him in our downstairs bathroom yesterday and walked in to find him....wiping the toilet down with a baby wipe. He was cleaning the bathroom. He threw a fit yesterday because I still had my shoes on when I was sitting on the couch. He kept trying to yank them off, and when I took them off, he promptly carried them over to the shoe bench by the front door and neatly put them away. He is obsessed with brooms. He loves washing his hands and "brushing" his teeth. At dinner, he INSISTS that everyone sit at the table (MAMA SIT MAMA SIT) and not the couch in front of the tv.
Who's kid is this? Where is he learning this?!
(he still knocks everything all over the floor though)

Ugh, I started at looking at how I will plan my maternity leave. It's a little complicated. My employer offers 8 weeks of paid leave, in addition to FMLA. (the 8 weeks is concurrent with the 16 weeks of FMLA though). It's the same application form though. You can only take paid family leave every 12 months. At the beginning of this year, I used paid family leave to take care of my mom. The "qualifying date" was January 30th, with the "commencement date" (the date I actually started USING the leave) was February 14th. From what I understand, I am therefore not eligible to start using paid family leave again until February 15th.
My due date ("qualifying date") is February 11th (or whenever the baby is actually born).
That's fine. I don't mind using annual or sick leave for the overlap (and maybe I will go late again--I was 8 days overdue with kiddo).
My confusion is when I can APPLY. I don't know if I can apply before February 15th and just specify that the leave won't start until February 15th, or if I have to wait until February 15th to even apply. This is what the bulletin says:
-Apply at least 12 months after the commencement of previously approved paid family leave. An employee may receive paid family leave for only one qualifying event within a 12 month period. If an employee was previously approved for paid family leave and started receiving that leave less than 12 months prior to the second application, he or she is not eligible under the second application.
So, the way I am reading this is that even though the first "qualifying event" was January 30th, and this "qualifying event" will be February 11th, I can't even submit an application until February 15th. Which will be a huge pain in the ass if I am recovering from childbirth at that time. I'd like to have this shit planned out ahead of time. But I don't want to submit an application if they are just going to say I am ineligible because it's been less than 12 months since I used PFL.
Also, god help me if this baby comes before January 30th. I will be screwed.
(I was not planning to get pregnant so quickly--I wanted to wait specifically because of this reason. But here I am. This is why I hate our maternity/family leave policies. Life events happen, and they usually don't happen on a damn schedule. When I had Liam, my mom had to have a mastectomy for breast cancer and my dad was dying of esophageal cancer. I literally had to choose between caring for my newborn, my mom or my dad (not to mention my own recovery). If you have a "qualifying life event", it shouldn't matter WHEN it happens.)

Also@peekaru apples are mostly for fresh eating, I've got no energy for all of the other things I'd like to do with them! I did make some yummy apple cinnamon rolls the other day though!
