Let's hear your confessions ladies!!

(I didn't see this going yet, I hope I'm not stepping on someone's toes!)

kiyamurph · August 2016

I don't have anything yet, but I just wanted to say @SienaC, your gif cracks me up every time! I can watch it over and over and I can't stop laughing. And the fact that the dog is wearing a shark fin is even more ridiculous!

mail time buys me a solid 15 minutes of peace and quite while DS rips all the junk into shreds

Now that H has agreed to use Willow for a girls name on our last baby, I'm thinking it would be so much easier if this baby were a girl. Obviously we will be thrilled either way (I'll take all the mama's boys!), but I really want to use Willow and I can't decide on a boys name.

mtmama2 · August 2016

@kiyamurph I picked it because that dog looks exactly like our dog and that is totally something he would do! The very first time we took him out on the boat, I jumped off the back and he jumped off right after me and landed on top of me! Lol Thanks a lot rescue swimmer....

My confession is that I'm wearing my bellaband with a pair of pants I don't reallyyyy need it for because I plan on totally stuffing my face with birthday snacks today at our BBQ!

Mine is I've never had anything pumpkin spice...ever. I never get in on the pumpkin spice debate because I refuse to try it.

pinnerk · August 2016

I'm seriously debating skipping work today and going to the lake. Its going to be super hot today and rising temperatures mean rising tempers (at my job). I have less than 20 mins to decide. Trying to convince my best friend to do the same.
I'm such a rebel! Lol.
TBH I'll go to work today because I'm an adult. But living in my dream land for even just 20 minutes makes it worth it lol.
I will however treat myself with Starbucks today

Cbeanz · August 2016

It's my birthday! It feels like a confession because I'm at work and no one knows!

Happiest of birthdays, @Cbeanz !!!

My toddler is suddenly scared of thunderstorms. Came into our bed at 2:30 crying and saying "Mommy got you" which is what I tell him normally when he's scared. I couldn't even try to take him back to his own bed. Whoops.

Happy birthday @Cbeanz and @Schumerator !

disneybaby84 · August 2016

My kitties just love each other. Had to share the kitty love!

kiyamurph · August 2016

I've spend most of the day reading the MIL hall of fame on /r/justnomil on Reddit and it has been glorious. I don't know how these women have been able to avoid murder.

PattersRN · August 2016

@disneybaby84 OMG, your babies look almost exactly like my babies!

disneybaby84 · August 2016

@PattersRN they look like twins!

Happy birthday, @cbeanz!

FFFC: I'm a SpEd teacher, and I love my job. That said, my hormones were flaming today. I'm sure the fact that it's the first Friday of the school year and hence, I'm utterly exhausted, also contributed to my mood. Anyway, today, I'm working on math with a student who has a cognitive disability. He's actually very bright when it comes to history and language, but he struggles with long-term memory, abstract thinking, and mathematical concepts. So, knowing all this, I really need to have patience - particularly during our math lesson. But oh man! At one point, he starts getting frustrated over fractions, and I get equally frustrated at his adolescent attitude (he's nailed the rolling-of-the-eyes at teacher directions

) and his stubbornness at having to fix his answer. I actually make him stand up and walk around the room once so we both have a moment to cool down.

Luckily, we have great rapport, so although we had about 5-10 minutes where both of us were red in the face, we got through the lesson without either of us storming out of the room. We even ended the session laughing and cracking jokes about our flares in temper. (Simple solution: Blame math!) Still, I feel kind of bad that I, the teacher, lost my patience. I'm hoping to spend the weekend resting up so that I can start the next school week a little more Zen!

(HAH - yeah right. My NT scan is on Thursday. Good luck to me being Zen...)

jem89 · August 2016

@dubcompanion For what it is worth, I think you handled that perfectly. I don't think students need to expect teachers to never have frustrations but the demonstration of a healthy way to work through it is a better lesson than being "perfect".

Bluebird2318 · August 2016

Happy birthday @Cbeanz!

dubcompanion · August 2016

@jessjoelmasse Thanks, you're totally right! I guess my students will pick up plenty of frustration coping methods from me then this school year!

FriendlyGhost1012 · August 2016

kiyamurph My husband and I go on the r/justnomil subreddit all the time! Some of those MILs are the worst! But it's always a drama-fest over there and we love it.

Edit to add: Clearly, I don't know how to reply to a person. Sorry!

jem89 · August 2016

A day late but mine is that I LOVE watching Fuller House! My 2 and 3 yr olds love it too so we cuddle up and watch it at night. I thoroughly enjoy it.

liepertsm · August 2016

@jessjoelmasse I love Fuller House too...and I have no children to watch it with

C25 · August 2016

A day late too: I don't know all of these bump acronyms and I've always been the type of person to just type things out. I've been on here since 2007 and I researched the basics but still don't know them all

I guess I'm just okay with guessing what they might stand for.

Same. I get using widely known acronyms like LOL or FYI. But some of the ones on here I feel like it's not needed. I almost almost type out husband and daughter instead of the DH and DD. The other day I saw ETA being used in a different way than what I know it to mean. Guess I have to look up the bump acronyms but then again I probably won't.

kiyamurph · August 2016

@mcdonald-bailey What else did ETA stand for??

jem89 · August 2016

@mcdonald-bailey @kiyamurph In real life, I thought ETA was estimated time of arrival. On the bump, I thought it was edited to add.
I do not know most of them though so I could be wrong.

Thanks. I did not know what the bump ETA meant. I just knew that it didn't mean what it meant in real life.

wintersong · August 2016

I think people use acronyms because they are typing on their phones.

I'm much less likely to do it on the rare occasion that I bump on a laptop.

I'm mobile only. Still not feeling the acronyms.

It's all good...you do you

I was reading the justnomil threads on reddit, and I was totally lost in some acronyms, so I can feel ya on this one, at least in a different context.

Oh man those acronyms are too much! I had to google some of them.
