I am pumping at work and I am a teacher, I don't get to go anytime I want. I have to go at my scheduled prep time, lunch and after school. It is a huge pain because this are really the only times I am alone to get any work done but I am too busy pumping. It is so stressful to be sure to get enough every time and then get it in the freaking teacher's lounge fridge like 2 miles away. I always seem to finish just in time to pee and pick my kids up from music or phys-Ed.
So today I went to add another bag of milk to my cooler and I saw that my morning pumping session was leaking Al over, like out of the bag, through the cooler and onto then shelf. I was so tired and hungry that I just broke down and started crying. One of then teachers in there literally said "oh yuck". I get it, I understand that she was grossed out but shut up b!tch. Now is not the time to flucck with me.
I had to clean up my coolest bag, store my milk in a freaking Target bag and wipe down the whole bottom shelf of the fridge. Needless to say I didn't get lunch.
All I could think was I should be with my baby, i should be with my bay.
I am so tired and this has been a REALLY hard transition for me...please feel sorry for me. I need a pat on the back and a little hug. And if anyone wants to tell me I am pretty that wouldn't hurt either! (tee hee hee)
Re: Totally cried at work today
HUGS HUGS AND MORE HUGS!!!! Yes, she just needs to get a little compassion and it would have helped your day. I am so sorry.
I am getting nervous to go back to work in 2 1/2 weeks I have actually started getting more and more anxious everyday.
Good luck dear! It will get better.
Ohhh, I'm so sorry That would be so awful. I get so shaky and emotional when I'm hungry, but your situation was so sad hungry or not! Sorry about the bitchy lady in the teachers lounge. Not the time or the place, lady!
And I can tell by your avatar that you're totally pretty

I totally understand! I just started back to work last week (I teach 4th grade) and the pumping at work is so hard. I stayed home with DS1, so I've never had to do it at work before. Planning and lunch is such an important time to collect your thoughts and get stuff done, and pumping takes up so much time even when I use the hands-free thing. My second day back at work we had a field trip to the zoo and I had to pump twice there and I just kept thinking, "I should be with my baby" just like you.
I'm sorry about your milk leaking all over, that would have sent me over the edge too! I hope tomorrow is a better day
Hugs your way! I'll be back at work at a school in a couple of weeks and am definitely nervous about pumping at work. Keep doing your thing though!
I get VERY grumpy if I miss a meal so I feel your pain with missing lunch. Is there a way for you to have granola bars or other snacks stashed at work and maybe in between class you can sneak a bite in?

I'm sorry
I'm a nurse in the hospital and work 13 hour shifts. Theres no guarantee I'll have time to pump...I barely get lunch as it is. I'm dreadinggg going back and being away from her for that long.
