Keenan can reach stuff on the counters, and he grabbed a fresh-out-of-the-over cookie sheet yesterday. Poor babe. I don't think it did much damage but it scared him.

I'm pissy lately. Not always for a good reason, which sucks because I know it and I still get upset. My boss is great, but he can get condescending about things. He's done it a couple times lately and its really starting to piss me off. I just want to have this baby so I can go on maternity leave and hopefully my emotions will mellow out a little bit. Sigh.

I'm supposed to do an 80 minute teaching observation tomorrow morning. My supervisee just sent the following class plan for me to preview:
5 minutes - class business, attendance
65 minutes - video
10 minutes - small group discussion of video
Really? Really?

65 minute nap for you?

@lizbethann82‌ can I pick your child development brain? It's about Elizabeth and something she's doing that I'm probably overly paranoid about.

@lizabethann06

Thanks. It auto populated the tag and I didn't pay much attention to the fact that I forgot the a in her name.

@maryannespier halp. I saw the beef or whatever at Trader Joe's that was already seasoned. It said I need to "brown" it before putting it in the slow cooker but that is not going to happen [-X is it necessary?? Do you do that?

Had our first speech session... Needless to say I was less than impressed. She thought it was DS1 (who's 4 1/2) coming for the session. I hadn't dropped him at Y childcare yet. She can't serve kids past 2 maybe 2.5. She didn't know his name, IFSP goals, service coordinator. She didn't introduce herself or give me a card when I asked for her info. She only brought Legos for him to play with. He was so bored. I'm taking things he's interested in next time. Balls, cars, and bubbles....

My close friend who's an slp was upset by this too. We have a session in 2 weeks so hopefully something changes or at least improves.

Im just gonna leave this here:

Thank you for being a friend! Travel down the road and back again. Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant. And if you threw a party, invited everyone you knew. You would see, the biggest gift would be from me, and the card attached would say, Thank you for being a friend!!!

Big hugs Monday, ladies! Big hugs. >:D<

Eta: terrible grammar.

I hope waking 30 minutes after bedtime isn't a sign of the night to come.

Poor feverish little bug of ours.

I'm so tired and I think feverish myself but all he wants is to snuggle.

Go to sleep LO!

Just got back from an appt downtown regarding my osteo. There was some good news- my calcium and D levels are just within normal limits which is a huge increase from last year at this time and May when I last had extensive tests run. They are hopeful that my numbers will continue to increase.

The bad news is they don't want us trying for another baby until 2016. I know, I know- I need to be in the best health I can be in to avoid major complications ("how many more fractures can one young woman get on their spine? Let's not find out" is what the orthopedic specialist said.) but I'm really emotional about this. It took us a long time to get pregnant with both of our babies. We wanted to start TTC sooner rather than later. And when I do get pregnant, I will need close monitoring and most likely will be unable to breastfeed. The team phrased that gently though, knowing how passionate I was about nursing Brynne- they basically said " we will cross that bridge when we come to it." But the results are clear. When nursing, my body was pulling calcium from the bones. Two months after weaning and my numbers are just within average. My bones still look like Swiss cheese but it's a start.

So even though there was good news- great news- I left the appt in tears.

They asked if I wanted a handicapped sticker again for my car and all I could think about was J13 and the Friday confessions from last year where someone posted about judging people that had a handicapped sticker but didn't "look" handicapped. I declined it again, for now at least.

Oh and I am still not allowed to exercise. Oh darn.

Thanks for listening

Super huge hugs! @lizabethann06‌ Spinal Fracture Sister right here! :x

Let me love you!!!

Sweet! I can definitely handle emptying a package of meat into a crock pot :-bd

theuntaggablek · October 2014

Major hugs @lizabethann06‌ I forget sometimes you are in constant pain because your cup runneth over with concern and love for so many.

Also thinking of @PickleX‌ and all those with the panic of allergies.

Sorry @gutsymama‌ for the tough choices you face. You are you wise beyond your knowledge -- it will work out over time.

@casey78 Seriously?? That's the "game on" supervisor visit lesson plan?

Not anymore, @theuntaggablek. I don't think she was prepared for me to say "no problem - I can use the time tomorrow to work on some other things. send me a few dates, and I'll let you know when to expect me."

ZING!!!! @casey78

You tell 'em!

Had the Harry potter marathon on tv all day. Watched bits and pieces but just watched the end of HP & DH pt 1.

(
It doesn't matter how many times I read the book or watch the movies. The end of this turns me into a blubbering mess (I won't say more due to spoilers).
Alex is going to see the full range of my emotions when we read this series.

[Deleted User] · October 2014

The guy in Sixth Sense is really dead!!!!

Agreed, HP & DH is like four years old.

Once a movie or book has been in the stores for more than 6 months, you don't have to worry about spoilers anymore. (If it's still in theaters or just hit stores, very different). Anybody who really cares has seen it (and if you haven't you have nobody to blame but yourself!)

I don't remember which stuff happens in the first half of DH vs the second. I remember the bajillion people who die but not in what order.

Ya my home board is a book board. We don't care how old something is. A spoiler is a spoiler. It is a hard habit to break.

gutsymama · October 2014

@Rmnam1‌ I did look at care.com recently and was happy to find some RNs. Thanks!

But - we just can't afford a FT private nanny right now, especially at elevated RN rates, so it's not a viable solution for a FT 9-5 type job; I might be able to do it if I were teaching and able to lump my classes all together in blocks, but that would likely pay significantly less starting out if I were even able to find a job at all, and it's a little hard to swallow paying what we would pay for FT daycare and only getting 2-3 half days per week (and still having to find time w/o childcare to make lesson plans, grade, publish....)

It's an option, maybe. But it's not ideal.

macncheese0712 · October 2014

My sleeping LO and I are sitting in the parking garage at the airport. In a few minutes we are heading in to get DH! This is pretty much the only acceptable reason to wake my little non-sleeper.

I am so excited/nervous/happy! Praying hard that E remembers his Daddy from Skype and doesn't cry.

I'm sorry. Fx it improves. Try to keep an open mind until next time if it is EI. I can't even tell you how many times EI didn't get me the paperwork until after the session or one hour before when I was with another client. Just Legos is a bit weird, but sometimes the rough first sessions end up being good in the long run. And sometimes not.

. I hope she has a better plan next time.

theuntaggablek · October 2014

Awww @cnettles86 ! I am so excited for you! Enjoy the reunion.

beckyanddon · October 2014

@Kitten80‌ it is EI And I thought about it and I'm just going to take her a copy of the. IFSP and several of his favorite toys. Cars, balls, bubbles. And I'll see where it gies. But definatley giving it another few sessions to work out the kinks!

sparkymcgeee · October 2014

@Audrey1787‌ I would try going to just one nap.
