This is probably a weird thing to confess but I absolutely hate onions! The weird texture they have in foods makes me want to vomit. But the strangest part is, I like their flavor. Needless to say, onion powder is my friend.
I LOVE onion and put it most dishes lol it helps make the meals go further and it's cheap. My confession: I refused to answer the door yesterday when DH's aunt and uncle stopped by unannounced. It was 5:30, LO was still napping, and I didn't feeling like entertaining them.
I made SO tell our boss I wasn't coming into work today. He decided I wasn't going to work bc LO was fussy all night ( I was tired from staying up anyway so I'm not complaining) so his decision he can tell the boss :P
@carlyhammond enjoy your day off! I wish I could have not gone to work today, but I used all my leave for maternity leave and can't afford not to get paid. Last night was miserable though. Our daycare has a little form they have us fill out every morning with when our LOs woke up, ate, had a diaper change, etc. I seriously considered putting n/a in the field to record when he woke up since he had so little sleep
DH is driving me crazy because DD2 has an upper respiratory viral infection on bronchiolitis. I told him to use saline when suctioning her. He didn't and then he didn't understand why he didn't get anything when he suctioned her or why she was super extra fussy afterwards. She doesn't get so fussy over it when saline is used because it helps move that mucus. So he got 3 hours of sleep last night and I am enjoying sleeping with DD2 all day because cuddles are awesome!
Not feeling guilty about enjoying a chicken wing and pizza party that the students had earned in front of one of the kids who threw a HUGE tantrum over me asking him to please put the coloring book away. We earned 100 Star Balls for other teacher's noticing good behavior throughout the school. The kids get to vote on 3-4 choices that they'd like to have for their Star Ball party. Mine, decided on a chicken wing party. I paid for it, which is totally fine. I am all about rewarding them for their good choices. Working in an inner city school where kids get told things that don't end up happening all of the time is hard. So I follow through.
Today however, I had one who wanted a new coloring sheet. I had said, "No, that he needed to finish his other one 1st before starting a new one." He didn't like me telling him that. He grabbed the coloring book, opened up to some other random page that one of the other kids hadn't finished and scribbled marker all over the page. I looked at him and said; "Please just put the markers and coloring book away now, we're all done and need to begin morning meeting." He slammed the materials down, went to his desk emptied the contents onto the floor, kicked his desk across the room, and began screaming. I work with students who have social/emotional needs, but this was a full blown; "You told me "no", how dare you situation." He walks to the classroom door, refuses to sit in his seat, so I go to get security and our behavior support person to escort him out. He continues yelling "no" and begins walking in the opposite direction to where our cool down room that we have in the building is. All the while, he's yelling at me to leave him alone and mind my business.
While you earned those Star Balls with the rest of the class, you do NOT deserve to participate in the reward, because that my friend was completely and utterly unnecessary. It happened all within the first 45 minutes of being in school. I had to just look at my TA's and say, "Life is beautiful, happy Friday!"
I feel guilty enough about returning to work, and now I'm sick. I teach kindergarten, so it's inevitable, especially after being gone for 3 months. I'm so worried I'll give this cold to our little guy.
