Anything got us feeling the feels this week?!

DH sent me a video he made for DS. It's Santa saying his name and that he is 4 and that his goal is to be nicer to his brothers. Its a nice, happy video. I don't know why I'm crying. I just am. Maybe its the magic of the holidays?!

Everything. I'm crying over tv shows, videos of cute puppies, babies I see in public, early sunsets/short days, kind words from friends, Christmas, and when DH refused to feel baby
kick for the tenth time because she quit kicking anytime he tried to feel anyway. Haha. Man. I'm a mess.

Just watched a video on Facebook about a hospital who let a dog come in and say goodbye to his dying owner

I rewatched the first episode of glee and cried when they sang don't stop believing. I miss Cory Monteith lol!

Work .  I'm already severely overworked and my boss just keeps adding responsibilities to my already large workload.  I'm already responsible for the work in 2 areas of our practice with no help, and he recently snuck in a third (which I have NO experience in!) also with no help.  I tell him that i'm already overworked/getting behind as a result and I also have no clue what i'm doing in the new area of practice, he just shrugs it off and tells me to do my best, with no guidance whatsoever.  If he would at least show me the ropes or give me something to work with, I would be a lot less stressed about it.  My boss just thinks that im hormonal.  I'm not hormonal, i'm just burnt out!  UGH

I'm somewhat ashamed I cried like a baby. My emotions are out of control.

A student was abducted from my school today.  I'm a complete mess

Oh my holy gosh! How completely frightening! Keep us updated on the student. Hopefully he/she is found safe!

HGRich

@cafedisco holy cow. Yes please keep us updated. How terrifying for all. 

cafedisco

It probably sounds worse than what it hopefully is. It was her father that took her but he is absolutely not allowed to even go near her and definitely doesn't have custody.  She a kinder.  They can't put out an Amber Alert because they don't know his vehicle.  

I don't know why but it is just hitting me hard.  I can't stop crying.  

KirstinH88

@cafedisco that is still awful. There is a reason this father is not allowed to go near his daughter. I don't want to bash your school, but who the heck let a kinder go in the care of someone they are not supposed to be with? I know at my stepkids school, we have to have a custody arrangement on file at the school. The kinder teachers walk the kids out to the front of the school and wait until one of their approved adults comes to pick them up, walks them to the car, and even helps them get in the car if its a truck/SUV.

cafedisco

It happened in the morning.  He somehow pushed through our security door and literally grabbed her and ran out.  That's all I know.  

KirstinH88

@cafedisco Geez....that's so scary....  I'm sorry you are having to deal with the emotions of this. 

bww_0331

@cafedisco oh no! I am so sorry. That is scary. I hope that while the father is not supposed to be with her, that he is being loving and caring for her and that she will be found safe. 

Ekzerr

@cafedisco hopefully they find her safe and sound, very scary

I teared up like crazy at my anatomy scan today. Something so amazing about seeing the little human inside you 

smallanimal

@cafedisco, how horrible!!  I am speechless. Any news on finding her? 

As for crying this week - my husband finally felt a faint little kick.  (=crying).  Then he watched the video I took of the scan on Friday (went without him), and he said about our boy:  "he is so cute and innocent" (=crying my eyes out again). Lastly, "when a child is born" came on the radio again = uncontrollable bawling.  What's happening to me!! 

cafedisco

None. It hasn't hit local news and we aren't getting any updates from the school yet...I'm guessing the family isn't sharing with us at this point. I'm hoping there's something on Monday. 

lovelongdog06

@cafedisco that's terrifying! I hope they find her quickly.

SnarkasaurusRex

@cafedisco I hope they find her! As a fellow teacher I know how awful it is when something happens in your school community and you're just waiting for news. 

Today I cried because DH had a mimosa at brunch and I really wanted one. Seriously, my alcohol cravings this time around are INTENSE. I've never even been a big drinker and it didn't bother me one bit to abstain with DS, but seriously every time I see a beer or something yummy like a mimosa I get so bummed that I can't have one. Bah.

I watched Home Alone. Cried like a baby at the end when the neighbor reunites with his son.

cafedisco

Can everyone send positive thoughts, love and prayers for this little girl and her mom? Police are essentially not helping (details as to why not are fuzzy).  

What we are sure of right now is that the guy most likely had a gun when he took her from the school on Friday.  He lives in Texas so they assume he took her there. He called the mom several times over the weekend to gloat - he would call, say "haha b!tch" then hang up. He is absolutely dangerous...he held the mom hostage several years ago.

It's like it didn't happen. No updates today from the school or district...I only know what I do because I'm friends with our social worker.  It's so scary and weird.  I think our school should be helping however we can.

I'm having a really strong physical reaction to this...it's just hitting me hard. I've felt sick all day and I have a massive headache.  What would you all do?  Any ideas of how to be useful?

KirstinH88

@cafedisco I am so sorry! Its apparent to me that he doesn't care for his child and this is all just to get back at the mom. I will definitely be praying. Unfortunately, I have no advice. But I will pray for you as well! 

HGRich

@cafedisco that's so horrible. I'll be praying for the situation too. I'm sorry you have to feel so helpless. I hope something is done soon. I don't know what to suggest. 

bww_0331

@cafedisco So sorry you are experiencing this situation.  How tough to feel so helpless against someone who clearly does not care about that child I don't have suggestions on how to help since the school itself isn't doing much.  

schef070911

@cafedisco No advice either - it must be so frustrating to feel helpless in that situation. Sending prayers to you, the other staff and that sweet little girl and her family.

I'm crying because I watched a segment before Monday Night Football about a little boy with a brain tumor who loves Tom Brady.  The cancer has recently come back and the family's been told they can't do anything more for him.  Just so sad and this stuff hits me even harder than usual recently.

I was ugly crying in he car this morning because a lady on the radio said she lost her 3 month old baby to SIDS. DH's older brother (they never met) was also lost to SIDS and it's something that has worried us with all our children so far. I was crying so hard that DS (in the backseat) had to ask me what was wrong and why I was crying.

bww_0331

I just started crying because my insurance provider and the clinic I was set to deliver at/my doctors office finally reached an agreement to continue services. Now I don't have to find anywhere new or a new doctor. Huge stress taken off my shoulders!
