The sadz.

I had the worst week last week and it continued into this week. I have had almost zero bump time. I feel like I'm trying to catch up on the MOH dramas and the diaper sttn post, but dear lord so much has went on. Let's just say I am ready for the Christmas break to haven't bump time back. I miss you all! Just when I was starting to get more active life/work slaps me in the face.

For the teachers- long story short I had a bad eval for the first time and I have had to do some amping up in the classroom. Does anyone else feel like they aren't doing as well at their jobs post babies??

Shoot, I did terribly during pregnancy. Thank GOD I am at home right now. And it's one eval...it'll be ok.

Raises hand. Not a teacher but I blow at my job.

Seriously phoning it in over here. Need to put my ass in gear after the New Year.

@asbromle

Yes I tagged you right (I hope!!)

Glad to know I'm not alone. This blows donkey nuts

I'm not a teacher either but ever since going back to work I do not have motivation to do my job as well.. easily distracted.

I suck at my job big time. Hugs!

Oh I've had my days...like today. So minor but still - I sent an email forgetting the attachment, so I responded saying the file is now attached....which it wasn't yet again. 3rd time forgot again. 4th times a charm? Luckily nobody too high up was on the chain.

Yes my job definitely suffered. I got called out and am back on track now. Just a bump in the road figuring out your new "normal". You have break coming up, so it'll be a nice fresh start in January. Hugs. I can relate. Sleep deprivation doesn't help with motivation either.

I'm still on leave, but going by the emails with questions about stuff I did/didn't do my supervisor is still sending me on a weekly basis, I was not so hot even before baby.

With PP...it's one eval. I'm rooting for you hitting the next one out of the park!

I'm not as interested in work anymore....and pumping keeps me from really focusing on stuff because I have to drop it to pump. At least no one seems to notice I'm coasting.

Exactly this. I'm also very forgetful, which I didn't used to be. You aren't alone!

michnfrankstake2 · December 2013

I too am a teacher and re ally am not into it. I do my best but I pump three times a day..am plan, lunch, and after work. This leaves little time to get anything extra done. I don't feel bad about it, I'm going to try to bf until 1 year. My job comes 2nd to feeding my lo. Do your best, that's all you can do!

Hilaboo86 · December 2013

Thanks ladies. I know it's only one eval, but I just feel terrible about it. I'm glad to know others are in my place. Hope you all have a restful holiday break! Lord knows we all need it!

kaylakim · December 2013

I'm a preschool teacher and I started at a new center for this school year. I'm definitelynot doing as good of a job as I was before having baby. Luckily my new boss doesn't know how much better I used to be but I feel guilty. I'm going to step it up after break!

@hilaboo86 you'll be better after break! A bad eval sucks but you'll make a great comeback!

valstulas · December 2013

I'm so sorry about that bad evaluation. Big hugs! I'm sure you're doing your best, trying to juggle a new baby with your job. It must be a real kick in the nuts to be told you need to step it up.

I really pissed off a patient the other night. Her baby is being screened for withdrawal, which involves me giving the kid a score every 4 hours based on observable behaviors that could indicate withdrawal. I had the baby out of the room for a little while so I could weigh him and give him a bath while she napped and since it was time, I scored him, too. His score came back higher than it had been, but not high enough to need intervention, but she was super pissed at me. I got to tell my manager that she may complain. I'm back tonight and her and the baby should still be there. I'm hoping they're not on my assignment.

I too am having a tough time, but I think mine is more to do with the bullshit at work and being done with it and looking forward to only seeing idiots here 2 days/week. I think I'll be on the ball come Jan 2.

jemasa33 · December 2013

I'm sorry you got a bad eval

That is the worst.

After having DS1, I did really crappy at work. Before I went on maternity leave, I was doing way more than the other teachers. Afterwards, I just sunk down to their level. As a result, it wasn't really noticed. I'm working at a new job now.

Now I am in a tough situation where I cannot stay after school because I have to pick SD up from school a lot. Sometimes I need to leave 5 minute early. As a result, I have been going out of my way to do awesome during the day. I have been going above and beyond with helping out with standardized testings, implementing the new curriculum, selecting supplemental resources, and training my coworkers with how to use our new online materials. As a result, nobody really cares and my evaluation will be awesome.

What do you teach again? I have some awesome materials that I can send you if it's math

Hilaboo86 · December 2013

@jemasa33

I taught 6th grade math last year. Ian 6th science this year. (I'm assuming that had a little part of the bad eval, learning a new curriculum and all) blah.

@etoille I'm with you on the mommy brain. Some days I stop mid sentence and have to ask the kids, now what was I just talking about? That's from juggling too many things!
