I'm working a half day today and leaving at 1230. I accomplished everything I needed to do before 9am. So I've been doing basically nothing for about 2 hours with no plans to alter my course.
I have a student who has been "counseled out" until later this spring because he was caught doing drugs in a bathroom last week. Ordinarily, I react with sadness and compassion to hearing this sort of news. While I do hope that he's able to correct the path he's on, this kid has been a disruptive racist, sexist, pathological liar this entire semester so far... so I won't lie: I had to suppress public excitement that he wouldn't be returning to my class until after I'm out for maternity leave.
I'm getting so tired of MH complaining about my gas. I get that it's not attractive or feminine or whatever, but 1. I'm pregnant 2. It's too difficult to get up and leave the room every time and 3. He farts in front of me All. The. Time.
So now I purposely save my best ones for when he's around. Passive-aggressive? Definitely
I have a student who was diagnosed with a concussion that the mom insists the student sustained at school (even though I was not informed of any injury or issues and it was noticed while he was playing soccer over the weekend...). This is a very high maintenance family so I am already on tender hooks with this entire situation. As part of the post-concussion protocol, the student is allowed to wear a baseball hat in school, take rest breaks, activity restriction (no gym or outdoor recess) for 2 weeks, etc. I just heard from his teacher that the student who has been wearing his hat to shield from the lights (light sensitivity was his main symptom) and taking as many rest breaks as possible was just running around playing football at recess with his hat turned backwards. So, I decided to be a bit of a biatch and have now instituted indoor recess in the nurse's office. It is the exact opposite of fun and he will hate it, but if he truly does need activity restriction and I can't trust him to NOT run around at recess, then he clearly needs more direct supervision which I am happy to provide.

This situation calls for a massive Dutch Oven in my opinion. Eat something that will give you truly epic gas and smoke him out!
I legitimately forgot to wash my hair all week. Usually I wash it every other day, but I guess pregnancy brain got the better of me? I was looking in the mirror this morning and noticed my hair looked awful. So I thought back and realized I haven't washed it since Monday .
I have actual work to do today but instead I'm just prepping myself for maternity leave. It's been a rough week with our other attorney out of the office to handle the other 1/2 of the work load, so I don't even feel guilty about telling people I'll get their requests back next week.
Headphones on and keeping to myself today? Yes, please!
One of the girls I work with has a sister that is a "scientist" at Mars company, so she is always bringing in candy for us. Today I had a twix bar at 10:30 and will probably have another one in an hour from now. Any control I have is out the window it seems... Tonights dinner is pizza. I had a Blizzard last night. I "treated" myself to pizza and a gooey cookie after my doctors appointment this week. Guessing my next appointment wont go so well..
After being off work for 2 and a half weeks, I went back on Wednesday. I've worked from home yesterday and today. I really don't feel bad about the minimal amount of work I'm doing so far.

^^^THIS^^^ Something else you can do is make up an excuse for him to sit in the backseat of your car. This will only work if you have child locks on the windows. Turn on the child locks so he cannot roll the window down and let them rip. My DH did that to me once. I was sitting the back of the car b/c his dad was up front and once we dropped his dad off I was still in the back. DH let one rip and put the child locks on the window so I would have no choice but to suffer.
I'm currently at the Chinese all you can eat buffet by myself for lunch. I started work an hour early this morning just so I could do this.
Also, I've had a pretty crappy week and all I wanted last night was a banana slurpee but none of the three 7-Elevens we went to had them. I almost cried. DH got me frozen yogurt instead and that was my dinner. We got home and I went right to bed.

MH left this morning to Nashville for a guys weekend to celebrate his 40th b-day which was January 1st. I'm all for a good time but he also went to Sturgis motorcycle rally back in August for a guys trip and I thought that was his big celebration. Not to mention I threw him a surprise 40th party in January. I mean how much are we going to celebrate this birthday???? I'd like to go away somewhere but can I? Nope I'm stuck at home huge and pregnant with my Threenager to take care of. Party on buddy. Grrrrrrr.

THIS. THIS. THIS. I thought i was the only one...but i do plan to wash it tomorrow if i can remember
I'm going to watch March Madness all day today and do the least amount of work possible to get me through. I think I am also going to prop my feet up and go grab another donut while I am at it because holy crap that first donut tasted so damn good.
Todays breakfast consisted of 2 donuts from Wawa, before my doctors appointment; lunch consisted of takeout of fried chicken wrap and sweet potato chips meal from a restaurant up the street from work; dinner will be homemade pizza. Winner meals for the day and I don't give a f*ck at this point!
I was raised Catholic. Church every Sunday, CCD classes every Wednesday. Went through confirmation in high school--the whole shebang.
And I could not tell you when Easter is this year. I know it's close because the grocery store has easter candy everywhere, but I don't know if it's this Sunday, the next or the one after that.
I don't mean that disrespectfully, but I guess it is is an indicator of how far I've strayed from my religious roots...
H and I decided I'm not going back to work once baby's born. I've yet to tell my bosses or any coworkers. It's not my fault they keep postponing the meeting to discuss my maternity leave.
Also I really can't wait to see the oh crap looks on their faces which I kind of feel bad about. Passing me up for promotions five times because I do, "such a good job with my current position," is really going to bite them in the butt.
My doctors appointment just ended. If I head there now I could still work the last two hours of school. But there's also a kids consignment sale going on so I'm playing hooky.
My son crushed a chocolate chip cookie on the floor and I was just sitting here picking up the chocolate and eating them...yeah, one ended up being a small rock.
I've pretty much just given up on today. I've been messing with stuff to try to fix an issue at work for at least 4 hours now today and cannot figure it out. So now I'm just sitting here on my phone until I figure out anything else to try. I just want to go home and take a nap.

Thats horrible!!!!! 5 times?!!!??? In that case they dont DESERVE you! We are having the same thing in our area. There is no movement, and when a higher level position opens, they hire from the outside. My co-workers and I were venting about this as well this morning. Coupled with no raises for another year, I am thinking of not coming back after maternity leave too, and interviewing while I am out.
DH is coming home early today. I'm thinking about making up a reason to go to Target, and leave the toddler with him, just so I can sip some Starbucks and wander aimlessly. He's got a bunch of stuff he needs to get done here, but I think I need the sanity break.
I'm so excited to go to a pet expo after work BY MYSELF. I can look around at what I want and not worry about if someone else is bored and not having fun.
The person they brought on to cover for me during maternity leave has been at lunch for two hours, and there's a task he has to do every Friday that has now hit it's deadline for the day. This is his third week having to do it, and his third week of dropping the ball. I did not send him a reminder today, and instead am sitting here curious if he's going to do it at all. I did send my manager a heads-up of my experiment. I hate being an ass, but at some point, it's time to get your crap together and get on task. I don't want it to look bad on me if they feel I didn't train him well enough, when I feel like that's 100% of my job lately. This is why you don't hire a junior in college to fill in for a mid-level professional with a masters degree and experience. At first, it stressed me out. Now, it's just sink or swim buddy. I'm tired of holding your hand, and I don't feel like telling you for the 10th time. Set a damn reminder.
The other night at work I was documenting and said to myself out loud "I need a donut". my friend replies "I love it" With a crooked smile I tell her, "I mean for my butt" I'm the one at work who always has healthy snacks on hand and will rarely/occassionally order takeout with the others. My friend though I was finally getting indulgent... And add me to the swollen ankle club. After 2 nights my feet were so achy and my ankle bone was hidden. I was thinking of going out on maternity leave after hitting 37 wk, but now I'm not so sure. That would be 4 more weeks of this misery.
Sometimes when I get lazy in filing and it piles up, I just throw everything out. I figure if i haven't needed it in the 3 months it was on my desk collecting dust, I wont need it in the future.

This is more of a TW Friday... at the school library I work in, we have Playaways (for those not familiar, they're basically MP3 players that just contain an audio book). Well, in addition to a student having our most popular playaway overdue by what will be 2 - 3 weeks by the time we come back from spring break, that playaway is also apparently broken (not the kid's fault, it's just been used a lot), and (bonus!) not "in print" anymore. We have 22 kids on the wait list for it, making it even more super awesome. So that playaway is my TW this week.
I am also disappointed in the kid that has it overdue. Whenever I check out one of the more popular Playaways, I mention to the kids that there are a lot of other kids still waiting, just like whoever is checking it out had to wait a long time, so please please please bring it back on time. She's usually really good about this, and she's gotten to have a lot of playaways this year, so it's not like she doesn't know what's up.
2 of mine and DH's friends are getting married two weeks after my due date... which is also the same day the Impractical Jokers tour is stopping in our city. Of course if I feel up to doing anything we'll be going to the wedding for a bit, but god damn it, I want to see the Impractical Jokers.
I just bought a load of cheap maternity dresses to get me through the next couple of months and I don't really like any of them (they're fine, just... nothing beyond "boring" and "adequate") and they don't make me feel pretty, so I'm sitting here looking at vintage chiffon dresses and I'll probably end up buying one of these things before the day is out. I don't need it. I don't even like chiffon that much. I just want something lightweight and ethereal because I feel anything but, myself.
Also I cancelled going to my birthing class this weekend so I could stay home and watch Daredevil S2 instead.
Whatever, this week sucked, I don't want to think about how this squirming alien is going to have to come out in a few more weeks. I just want to watch the Punisher blow the hell out of some dudes for a few hours.

Oh it's not that they don't fit or anything, it's just that they're... boring adequate dresses that I bought as stopgaps because I just need something to wear for the next two months at work. Meh.
I have the hugest crush on Wesley from Daredevil S1.
