I couldn't keep up yesterday. Overall the pumpkin patch was fun. M was a turd with some attitude for part of it, but was mostly happy I was there to join her. I just don't like her teacher. I wish I could say differently. She never said a word to me or the other parent volunteers. Don't get me wrong, I know she was busy, but there were many opportunities where she could have just briefly said "thanks for coming," but did nothing. She's very cold and distant. In contrast, I stopped by Cass' school afterward to drop off fundraising packets and ran into Maddie's former teacher and teacher's assistant. The TA was super friendly, chatted with me a few minutes, and wanted to pass on well wishes to Madison--in other words interact like a normal human being and not like she's got a stick up her butt.
It was nice to get some things done yesterday and have a bit of a break. Tomorrow I work my usual 10-hour day at my regular job and then have to go to my other job for a couple of hours and work this weekend. I'm very glad I have a few days planned off from my civilian job here and there otherwise these next few weeks would completely do me in.
And BOO!! My husband mocked me when I started watching Shameless and asserted it was lame. I've been watching it without him and he's been catching glimpses here and then and now is sucked in. So he wants me to hold off on watching it without him but he's 4 seasons behind me and never around. I'm putting him on notice he better get his butt home right away at night because after I put the kids down is one of my main times to watch.

cagoldi that was my thought too. There is a whole litany of people that this form of punishment had to be approved through and somehow everyone thinks this is a good idea?? Not to mention that parental consent is not required andplusalso they don't even have to inform the parents as it's happening, just same day? Fuck that, I'd be down to rescue my child as soon as notified. I can't imagine anyone doing this to Layla, my heart hurts for those babies that have endured this.

I'm sorry mwhip. I'll send you a big glass of wine! Hugs klong11. I'm sure seeing those comments is bittersweet. One good thing about social media is keeping track of those memories. I also got that time hop of N's first steps this week. How has it been 3 years?

So the punishment thing, I have a friend who's kid goes to one of those schools in Iowa who uses it. Her kid is terrified of breaking any rule to get put in there. The kid is so stressed about it
I am happy to report my old school has not installed one of those.

I'm a preschool pick up. I like getting here a little early because I can watch Josie play on the playground, but my thought bubble is, almost always the same: "Please get out of the sandbox! Please,please, please, get out of the sandbox!"

mwhip, I'm sorry things are so difficult right now. Wine 🍷 for you! Hope things are on the up soon. Those seclusion boxes are horrendous. I'd be fighting even if my kid was never put in one. That's insane for any child. How horrible.

Please,please, please, get out of the sandbox!" I HATE the sandbox with the fire of a thousand suns. The teachers are all 'it's soooo great for motor skills, and I'm all, eff the skills my house and car do not need to be a secondary sandbox' It's best you don't look, she can't hear you 😉

The people who thought this was an appropriate way to kids being kids should have never been allowed to work with kids.

So afraid of the box that a kid can't even enjoy school at all. This just pisses me off so bad!

Popping in for a quick hello. Ran some errands and now want to get the fridge and freezer cleaned out while the kids nap.
I let our cleaning lady go today since we have a new one starting. I was nervous for that phone call but she was totally cool about it. whew. And yay for saving money!

Seriously...I had a bottle of water in my purse. I went to lunch with one of the girls in customer service (the one I said Reeses Penis to yesterday) and we went to the liquor store afterward. As I was walking down an aisle, she said, Hey M, your purse is leaking. The bottle, that had been 2/3 full, was empty. Contents in the bottom of my purse. I already told everyone I'm drinking at 3:30.

cagoldi Lie on your back on the floor. Engage your abs. Lift your head up off the floor like you're looking at your abs. Then you place your hand in the center of your stomach to see if you can feel any separation of your ab muscles. It's measured by how many fingers you can fit in there.

So I can feel it but not see it, right? Seems like about 2.5-3 fingers.

After delivery you can get a splint/binder and there's specific exercises you need to do and need to avoid.

I have screen shots saved of exercises a PT on N16 told us to do after delivery. I may have some from someone on parenting that was in a DR study, too. Let me see if the exercise program I signed up for & have never used has a pregnancy thing. Hold please.

Sounds like H and FIL had fun at school. I’m kind of jealous they did dad’s first because he said they went over their routine and sang some songs. I’m curious how the school day goes.

I have open house tonight for M's school. I've never gone but M wants to go...
Yesterday when I picked her up her teacher told me she was the only one in the class that knew mommy & daddy's names. She then recited to her the names of granmda, grandpa, great grandma, great grandpa, etc. My FIL taught her everyone's names. Too funny.

My dad is supposed to be meeting with the dr right now. I'm nervous. I'll update when I get any news.
I kind of wish my mother would have facetimed so I could listen to everything he has to say. I don't trust she'll give me all the information.
