Re: FFFC
I was let go from my teaching position in March and since then I've SAH with DD. I really love it, but I do need to get back to work, we really can't live on one income and my unemployment is the only thing keeping us above water.
This week I had a second interview for a teaching position at a mental health agency where I would teach medically fragile children, they had me fill out all the HR paper work as well and said they would get back to me next week with a salary - so it seems like I'll probably get the job.
I also had an interview for a long term sub position from sept. to november that was in a local school and was in class support for elementary school, they called me to come for a second interview.
My FFC I really don't want to go back to work at all, I love SAH with DD and if I had to choose I would be pick job #2 because I really want to be working with higher functioning kids in regular ed and job #1 is 12 months....
But logically if I'm offered both I really need to take the job that will employ me long term
The nerve of you Java! And I thought what we had was special.
Hmm let me think.
This week my supervisor asked me to review a large stack of cases and divide work evenly between me and my coworker. Well I divided them evenly by number of cases, but I went through and found the easy issues and kept them. I gave the harder ones away.
I ate a KitKat for breakfast.
Tomorrow is my 29th bday. I found 3 gray hairs this week! <----those are not confessions, obvi.
Honey, it IS special. It was a mistake. I promise that from now on I'll stay loyal. Don't worry about me
C ate a piece of sausage pizza for supper last night.
I have been pretty good about limiting C's tv to only 1 episode of Sesame Street if any at all. Well, a couple days last week I was super lazy and didn't want to get out of bed when C got up. So I brought him to bed with me and turned on the TV. I still don't think I'm that terrible of a mom
DH and I have been "pull and pray" for a few months. DH is ADAMANT we don't need another until we get a bigger house. I, however, am using my "pray" to pray for an oops.
I, too, am really bored with our board. I need an "oops" baby just so I have something else to suck my time.
If your hubby is adamant that he doesn't want another any time soon, he should wear a condom.
I turned 29 in January and since then I have seen a drastic difference in my blonde-to-gray ratio! I thought it was my girls making me go gray, but H likes to point out that I'm on the cusp of 30 and these things are to be expected (he's a year younger than me!).
My confession, H & I don't talk about politics. I don't even know who he votes for or his stance on social issues. We got married in college, before either of us formed real opinions, and it hasn't come up in casual conversation since then.
He took our girls to Chick Fil A on Wednesday for the "appreciation" day and I'm still mad about it. I'm so mad that I spent the morning looking for age appropriate books about accepting everyone for who they are and also looking into volunteer oppertunities for me and my oldest DD in some kind of woman-centered organization (CFA donates a lot of money to anti-choice organizations as well). I haven't discussed any of this with him and I don't plan to.
Also, I never mention any of this on Facebook. I don't feel the need to discuss my feelings on equal rights/social issues with anyone on my friends list.
Totally agree. And if I were adamant, I just might insist. But as it is... I'm not complaining
Also, I've decided I'm going to reach 4,000 posts today even if I have to reply with pointless things.
I realize it means nothing, but I'm just....so....close. I can't help it.
My friends and I always talk about being on the cusp of 30. We've been saying it for years because someone once guessed that my friend was 29 when we were only 25. She was so offended at the time...now she's turning 30 in 3 weeks!
I would be seriously angry at my husband too. I am not an activist in any sense. Most of the time I don't even have strong opinions or feelings about political/human rights/religious issues, but if H took our son to any type of activism gathering without discussing it with me first, I would be livid.
And to address your last point - I almost deleted my FB account this week. I wish I didn't know how so many of my friends and acquaintances felt about gay marriage, the presidential candidates, and even the olympics. I guarantee most of them would not be so vocal IRL about their views and opinions.
You did it!
DH and I are taking our sailboat and sailing away (from Seattle to Houston via Panama). It will be scary and fun. DH is a licensed captain, and we are fully aware of the dangers on the boat.
That said, when we say we will tie DS to the boat, people look at us funny. We tie ourselves to the boat when we are on the ocean.
I agree- I am so bored with the bump that I don't even know what to do at night with my down time. I guess that problem is about to be fixed by a new baby.
Speaking of, not looking forward to getting huge again and experiencing the newborn stage. I will admit, I hate having a newborn. It sucks. It's hard, I'm hormonal, getting no sleep, and a total biatch. Really wish I could just pop out a 3 month old. Hoping it will pass quickly!
I am also an uber-b*tch right now. Not really a confession, just sayin'. I am getting annoyed at EVERYTHING, including dh and my parents. I might mention it to the doc at my next appt b/c I don't remember being this way last time.
I say it is the girls that are making you gray! I am 39 (9 months shy of 40) and only within this last year am I noticing a couple of grays here and there (just a couple but very noticeable depending on how I do my hair...my hair is dark brown).
I wish all of my friends on facebook would just refrain from all political discussion, social issues, etc. A lot of what I have seen from people on my FB has really lowered my opinions of them (not so much their opinions, but how they express them)...I have taken to removing some people from my news feed and in some cases deleting people. A friend of mine posted something on FB yesterday morning I think...I couldn't find it to share it once I got home, but it was awesome...how the people who were so proudly posting pictures of themselves at this CFA thing...and how everything they were using - phone/social media, internet, etc. was in fact a show of support for the gay community.
This sounds absolutely awesome!
Yay

i don't mind political discussion as long as it's respectful. i've taken my kids with me to protest events, and i think it's great for them to learn about exercising their first amendment rights. as they grow up, they may not feel the same way i do about these causes, but i hope they will feel comfortable actively supporting the causes that are dear to them.
So I'm a really long time, every day lurker..... My confession is that I am also really bored with the boards lately and feel like you regulars should post more.
haha I know being a lurker I should just introduce myself and join in to liven up the board, but I feel like I've lurked too long it would just be slightly wierd.
I also started lurking on TTGP and although we are trying for #2, I mostly check it for the extreme amount of snark and drama.
....going back to lurking
If mom's in rehab I'm going to guess the child's problem is likely fetal alcohol syndrome or something similar.
We thought maybe, but when he was born they tested him and he was ok. I assume side effects can come sometime later with developmental delays and such but I don't know. And I feel really awful not wanting to be around the child but when I say he screams I mean like he screams and screams and screams until he gets what he wants.
It can certainly happen. I got KU while BFing and with DH pulling out.
This board is so slow. I am happy with my new BMB bc it moves. But of course, there's nothing like my June Mamas!
I actually posted on TTGP when I was TTC Carter. I found the snark hilarious and pretty enjoyable.
I've tried to lurk there recently, and just don't find the same joy. I guess seeing the exact same snark from an entirely new set of girls annoys me a little, lol. So I lurk the snark on Parenting instead.
And feel free to post ladies! Promise it's not weird.
Guilty from whole milk? Please. I WISH that was my "wow I shouldn't have eaten that" confession.
Fingers crossed, lol
I don't know how bad this is, but I often use the same straw cup for DS all day. I keep it in the fridge when he's not drinking from it, of course, but since he never actually finishes what is in it, I just keep adding to the same one. I always read you should get a new cup each time, but IMO, that would waste a lot of milk, and would be a PITA since I offer it frequently throughout the day.
I also confess that I just teared up like 4 times when NBC was showing the recap of Keri Strug's vault from '96. Back then, I had taped it and rewound it 1000x to watch it over and over. She was totally my hero.
I haven't watched any of the Olympics this year because just thinking about past ones gets me teary. Hearing the metals count on the radio makes me misty.
Keri Strug... that was truly awesome. ::misty again::

He is screaming because he has opinions and no way of expressing them in a way that other people understand. He's frustrated. And likely needs a speech therapist. Speech delays are relatively minor and very fixable.
