Where is everyone???
DD is home again with me so I have been working since 7:00 in an attempt to make up for the time I know I am going to be away from my desk dealing with her needs. I feel like my day is half over but sadly that's not even close to the truth.

I'm here. Can't believe it's Thursday. This week has been rough to say the least though so I'm glad it's almost over...
Well I just found out that one of my co-workers is pregnant again. She currently has: DD1 almost 6 yrs. old, DD2 4 yrs. old, DD3 almost 3 yrs. old and DD4 8 months old (approximate ages). So there is a possibility she will be having her 5th DD if it's not a boy. 5 kids all together very close in age. I can't even imagine. Not judging at all but like I can't. Last I heard too was that her and her DH were almost separating. I mean more power to you and she is a rock star because I could never be able to do it mentally, physically, emotionally etc. I just cannot for the life of me imagine this like at all.
OAD 4 lyfe.
Hope I didn't sound judgey that was not my intention at all I guess I'm just in shock?

I need to word vomit however, it's a Debbie downer post and I don't want to drag anyone down. So I'm not sure if it's okay as it's also a big TW. But I don't really have a lot of people IRL to talk to about it. It's something horrific that happened at work and I did speak with my supervisor briefly about it today but still feeling all the things.

Holy crap gangy 5 kids is a lot. We saw one of DS' classmates at an event the other weekend with his family. I knew he had a couple of siblings but I didn't know how many. Turns out he's one of 4 & the mom was pregnant! I was shocked! The age range was crazy too. They have a high schooler, the next is DS' classmate that's 6, two toddlerish & she looked like she was about to pop. No thank you, ma'am!!!

We are here to support each other. I think everyone here would agree.

gangy, I don't think you sounded judgey. 5 kids makes me cringe. Hell 2 kids does too! Some people are made for it, others not. We are definitely in the "not" boat.

This has been the longest short week ever.
DS has a pediatrician appointment today. It wasn't originally to screen for ADHD but since I scheduled the appointment in March we think we found the underlying cause of us difficulty in school -- his eyes. He's starting vision therapy in a few weeks. It's has been a long road. He struggled with grades in 2nd. He's smart and knows the stuff but has a hard time putting it down on paper. The OT did an assessment and suggested this therapy.

stitch, I hope the vision therapy works for him. I have never heard of it. What does it consist of?

stitch, I hope the vision therapy works for him. I have never heard of it. What does it consist of? DS has trouble controlling his ocular muscles. When you ask him to follow your finger, for example, he will do it for a second and then lose track. The vision therapy will work with him to strengthen his control and other things for tracking, reading, handwriting, etc. They are recommending 40 sessions which will end up being about a year in therapy.

Oh my gangy! I can completely understand why you are upset by this. What a horrible thing to have happen. I hope that management is taking all the necessary steps to investigate and prosecute if it comes to that. I wish I had some actual advice for you on how to handle your feelings on this and on the dream. Sometimes when emotional things happen we are able to get past them in a few days. My only suggestion is if you find yourself struggling for a longer period of time, it may be worth it to speak with your doctor.

Interesting. Good luck with the therapy! I am sure it will be wonderful to see the progress as he goes through it.

I'm so sorry gangy! That sure is a lot to take in. I'm honestly at a loss for words. If I were in your shoes, I would probably have a hard time going to work. :/

The work situation coupled with my thoughts of my friend are really hitting me hard right now. Like I want to cry and I was yesterday at work. I do have a therapy appointment next week which will hopefully help. The agency is investigating and the police are involved. I'm really hoping there is some reasonable explanation for it but it doesn't seem likely. He has been suspended right now so that's good he won't have access to anyone else. I'm just perplexed why he was allowed back after he was fired. Like if people knew something and still allowed him to work and now this!? I just can't wrap my head over it it's just so upsetting. Sigh. Thanks again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OMG you guys!!!! DD is eating a ham and cheese sandwich...like an actual sandwich with bread, ham and cheese! She never eats sandwiches. Ham and cheese rolled up separately yes, but never in a sandwich. This is amazing!

I'm so annoyed with the center DS does therapy at. It was just MDW & they were closed. The last time I wanted to talk to the office manager who is in charge of everything in person wasn't there when we she was supposed to be. She is so freaking hard to get a hold of. Then I call after MDW to talk about things with speech. I get told she's out this whole freaking week so we opted to cancel OT this week since. I'm not driving out there for one thing since no one knows if there is a temporary speech replacement. Dude, your place is shutting down in two months, people are freaking out & probably have a tons of questions. Not the best time to take a vacay. I was told 'oh I'm sure she'll check her voicemail.' It's Thursday, haven't received a call. I emailed her too. Nothing back. I have been ignored by so many people lately by so many different things. So freaking frustrating. Grrrrrr
