@wandering do patients call you Dr. Wandering ? I was actually thinking about this last night. Are there separate titles for those that are not done with residency/training/notsurewhatwordto use.
I'm still a student Patients don't really call me anything though lol. Right now I'm in inpatient medicine so it's a high turn over and usually only see a patient for 1 or 2 days before discharge. So I'm usually just happy if they say thank you and actually remember me since they see a million people throughout the day.
I usually introduce myself with my first name and a medical student working with the attending. The attending will usually say student dr. wandering or sometimes dr. Wandering in front of patients.
All interns and residents are referred to as Dr in front of patients and nurses since they are doctors, just not finished with training. However when talking to interns & residents themselves or referring to them not in front of patients we usually use first names.
All attendings are addressed as Dr by everyone in all situations.
Hope my long ass answer makes sense. I'm sure it varies at different places too, but this has been my experience.
I loved the last bra I bought so much that I got another one on sale. This one is even better. I'm going to scour the internet to find more from this line. So perky.
Do share.
Well I'm not going to PIP lol but I got them from True & Co! Home try on lingerie shop. If anyone wants to buy something I have a referral code for 15% off.
Yesterday I made the BEST apple dip (I found on Pinterest). It is so, so, so good. I even had a second apple for dessert instead of my usual Fiber One Brownie, lol. For one apple it's 2T of fat free greek yogurt, 1T peanut butter, a squirt of honey (about 1 heaping teaspoon) and a dash of cinammon. Ooooooh my god. Sooo good.
I'm sorry. This is a problem we have with our youngest also. I dread when the school calls. I almost have a panic attach. I keep thinking she will grow out of it but I just think I am in denial. Our girl has general anxiety and inattentive Adhd. She has been started on some meds and she is doing some better. She also had problems with sleep and the Dr has us giving her melatonin at night. I think my dd is older than yours though.
Just wanted to offer support. Hoping that you are able to get some answers and help.
Moving should not be this hard! We'd really like to use a "portable moving container" so that we can take our time loading/unloading. U-Haul's version sucks, PODS doesn't serve our area, and Packrat gave me a quote of $2,500 (LOFL). Packrat did tell me to call the local warehouse and said they could get me a more accurate price for a regional move, but I can't get anyone to pick up the phone.
I'm not sure how we'd make a U-Haul/Budget truck work, as we'd need someone to drive, plus get both of our vehicles there. DH's truck is too heavy to tow behind, and my car is AWD. My mom doesn't drive long distances, so she won't follow in a 3rd vehicle so that Dad can get back home. DH's parents might... but they typically aren't the helpful part. I'm paying for someone to load/unload the heavy stuff - I just need drivers. =0(

I went to preschool orientation last night. It's only been two years since my last child. But this crop of parents seemed so young. A bunch of hipsters and most looked like kids themselves. I felt so frumpy, dumpy and ocerweight. I'm afraid I will be mistaken for a grandma.
I'm waiting for the eye doctor to call me back about getting DD in today. I took her to her pediatrician yesterday (her eye doc was closed) because she has been complaining about pain in her eye for a couple days. It is red and irritated, watering constantly and she said that it feels like there is a film over it. Pediatrician does a dye test and says that there is a speck on her cornea. Not sure if it is an abrasion or foreign body. Puts antibiotic drops in her eye and puts a patch on her. I really hope that it's nothing major and she gets some relief quickly.
I'm working from home until we go to the doc, and have so far this morning managed to spill water all over my lap and sofa, break a glass and step on my cat 3 times! Hoping the day goes up from here.

OMG yes! It sounds like we have similiar kids...Dr has diagnosed her with anxiety and we're pretty sure she has ADHD ( that is what she is being evaluated for). She also gets melatonin at night because her sleep was horrible and making everything worse. Hugs to you, I know it's stressful

I'm normally out the door by now. Dh went in at 4:30 so I just kept sleeping. I had allergy testing yesterday and feel like crapol today. I need to go get dressed and get to school. Thankfully I planned an easy day knowing what I was going to feel like today. Oh and my arms HURT.

Check out upack.com. we used them and had a great experience. Much much cheaper than PODS.
It's started already. yesterday I got a call from DD's principal...apparently on the first day (they started Tuesday) B went and hid when they were bringing kids in from afternoon recess. They realized as they were counting heads for pick up line that she wasn't there and found her hiding behind a tree. So yesterday morning they had her meet with the principal and guidance counselor to talk about it and then called me to let us know. This kid is going to be the death of me I swear. We had such a rough year with her last year and on the very first day we're having issues again.
We've already got the ball rolling for evaluation and the principal said she's going to schedule a meeting with last years teacher, guidance, special ed, and herself to discuss a plan. After they meet she will meet with us.
I spent all last year dreading pick up and I was really hoping this year would be different. I feel like someone let the air out of my balloon.
I'm sorry you are going through this. I have a son with learning and behavioral challenges and it sucks. The early years (K-2) were the worst because we didn't know there was a problem until there was a problem. The waiting for a phone call every day and the feeling of not being in control is so hard.
Based on my experiences I would be very concerned with having the teacher, principal and special Ed Teacher meeting together and then bringing you in. That makes it seem like they are going to discuss a course of action and then inform you of it. The better approach is for you and all of them to meet and collaborate and agree on a course of action. And be prepared to take your husband, because those meetings can be very intimidating. You know her better than they do because she's been with you since birth.
Good luck through all of this. I can say I have had a nightmarish experience with one school and a great experience at a different school in regards to my sons issues. I hope yours is positive. Pm me if you ever need to talk.

dude, i dont know where you are but i would drive your car in a HEARTBEAT. i love driving long distances!!!
eastern NC to western VA. Not really feasible, but you would be my board favorite!
Thanks to Zulily I have a start on Christmas shopping. Now I'll just sit back and wait to do the remainder of it 2 weeks prior, as per my normal routine.

Thank you I do plan on bringing H when we go. No matter what they decide in their own meeting, H & I have our own ideas on what should be done. We've got a referal to a specialist that we will use as well to make sure the plan that is set is best for DD.
I'm done with professional development, no more, I don't want to get off the couch. But I have one full day left today, boo. But I do get to do a little presentation!
The closing on our new house needs to happen soon! We've already closed on our current house and are now paying $36.33 per day to live in our house Thankfully we have immediate possession on the new one but I hate moving and hate being in a rush to move even more. We have hired movers though so that makes me happy!
Morgan's daycare/school is closed today so I came in to work after H got home from work, this 10am start time is something I could get down with!

My little sister just told me she was dumped by her BF and I'm ready to go smash some windows. He dumped her after she JUST moved into her first apartment on campus by herself. He goes to the same school and is in the same activities that she was really excited about this year. So now I'm just picturing her in her apartment all alone and sad. How dare he dump my awesome sister! She is amazing!
jreeds, I'm with ya. I actually started crying on my way home from daycare last night. I'm sick to death of the daily bad reports and I just don't know what the fuck to do anymore. I'm PRAYING that starting K will help her because she will be challenged academically and will have a much more set schedule and only 1 teacher.
It's heartbreaking to watch your kid struggle with stuff others don't have a problem with.
Hugs, Mama. You are absolutely right. It is so hard to see them struggle. I know for a fact some of the other moms look at B and see a behavior problem. She is already getting left out of birthdays etc. Last night I lost it to H, it's just defeating. I hope that your DD has a better year.
Found out I'm positive for group b strep. I'm allergic to penicillin so my doc was saying that its convenient I'm having a c-section so they don't have to worry about it since the only other antibiotic they would use is the only good one for staph infections/etc and they don't want me to build up immunity to that. So I'm feeling more validated in my decision to c-section this kid out. That and my broken vagina from last time.
