My week has been blahhhh. Today is picture day at school. I drove DS to get him in early because his class is scheduled to go at 1 or 2 which is after lunch & recess. The stupid lady kept telling him "show me some teeth." He doesn't smile with his teeth so although she kept giving us extra frames, she wasted at least two saying that. I told her he doesn't really smile with his teeth so that's why the pics are not good. So then I told him just smile normally & at that point, he was getting restless so most of the pics were not good afterwards. He looked bored/agitated. Lol Ended up choosing the second pic she got but there's a glare in his glasses so hopefully they get rid of it. Of course we get a stupid photographer this time. "Show me some teeth".. really?? Ugh.

So far my week has been decent.
DS has some sort of virus, which is a bummer. He was pretty upset that he had to miss pre-k yesterday. Hopefully he'll stay fever free today so I can ship him off to school this afternoon.
I also had a pta meeting last night, and I'll be doing more volunteering at the school this week than I originally though. Which means I'll be at school during my 2 1/2 hour break where both kids are at school 😭😭😭

NamasteBirches, that is so cool that you had the option to pick which photo was best. With my kids' school, we just get whatever garbage photo they took a few weeks later 😂😂😂

NamasteBirches , that is so cool that you had the option to pick which photo was best. With my kids' school, we just get whatever garbage photo they took a few weeks later 😂😂😂 It's because I was there, it's not what they normally do. Trust me, I dealt with two years of preschool photos & the fall kindergarten pics of not so great photos. In the spring of kindergarten, I decided to go to the school & say I want to take him to the photographer myself before his class is scheduled to go since they're always going so damn late in the day. In the spring, the photographer didn't show me the pics so this was new. Maybe because the way it was set up the computer was right there so she showed me them. I mean, it takes a second. I guess we'll see. Maybe with the background we chose, it'll look better but the teeth thing was just so damn annoying. Lol

NamasteBirches I hope the rest of your week gets better. And that photographer probably was taught that “showing teeth” looks more naturally happy, which although generally true, does not work when the subject is clearly uncomfortable/unhappy. I’m sorry he had a difficult time with it. elsiemae I hope your DS feels better soon. And that you get some time to yourself. It’s so disappointing when something interrupts our few precious moments.

NamasteBirches, yeah. You would think someone who take pictures of children for a living would find a more organic way of getting them to smile. I think telling them a goofy joke, or saying something silly, would go a lot farther than, "Smile with your teeth".

So today I filled in for a parapro & omg the general gist of the day was "is there a full moon tonight?!" the kids were freaking nuts & I was in 4 different classrooms. I don't believe I get paid enough to sub, like seriously. I'm questioning my existence.

My week has been decent. We hopefully worked out DS2’s therapy problems. DS1 has been doing well for school which makes my life easier. Today I take my little sis to dance which is nice because we go get great coffee at this local place afterwards.

Hi, everyone! I'm actually getting a moment to pop in here since LO and I have a mild bug and are having a low key day for a change. At the moment, I am taking a break from working on LO's birthday decorations and Halloween costume while he watches a little Magic School Bus.
