Things are pretty stressful at work recently. My co-teacher is up for tenure so the superintendent will be visiting our classroom soon for observations, the chancellor is coming to our school (along with 50 principals) next week and we are likely getting a visit, and we are struggling to get IEPs written and keep our kids motivated. So I just ordered my co-teacher an adult coloring book, a stress relieving scented candle, and a huge wine glass.

Today is a week since my shunt was removed. This means probably another week before my new shunt, assuming labs continue to be clean. Unfortunately, my pain has been increasing, so let's hope they can adequately drug me up.
My bff is coming from Maryland tomorrow just for the night. She has a 5 month old I haven't met, but since I'm in step down I should be able to meet him tomorrow
No raise this year. But with them laying off many people, I totally get it. I'm thankful I have a job that I love to do, can pay the bills and still enjoy life.
So you know that work conference that I am going to all by myself that I have been freaking out about for over a month now? The one that I'm supposed to leave on Sunday to attend? Yeah, I was told about an hour ago that as of today, ALL travel is on hold and I may not get to go. My boss's boss is verifying with upper management if the travel freeze includes previously approved travel. As anxious as I am for this trip, I am actually pretty excited. I will light shit on fire if I cannot go. And they sure as shit better tell me before e.o.b. tomorrow if I can go or not. Yay state government.
My friend had an interview today and she's still reeling from it. Not very confident she did that good. We shall hear in a couple weeks how well she did.
She wore a new shirt in a meterial that shows every sweat mark there is. Ugh. Lucky the pits were covered by a jacket!
I don't have a bottle of water with me and I'm super thirsty.
Also, I have been trying to watch the same episode of Blacklist for days now. First, I fell asleep. Then, I got distracted with something. Then, I didn't have the time. And now my cat is peeing blood.
I just want to be cuddling my kitty on the couch and watching this stupid show.
Trip is NOT cancelled so I will continue to be anxious about it. I figured it wouldn't be since my registration, plane tickets and hotel have all been paid for already...but you never know with state government.
We are also on a hiring/spending freeze and I foresee more budget cuts (we've had a total of 10% of our budget cut in the last two years) coming our way. My Department has the smallest budget in the entire state. We will probably have to close sites and parks if we have another budget cut. The next few months are going to be pretty tense.
This morning N Was a little down when it was time to get dressed. I asked if she wanted to wear her favorite Spiderman shirt, and she looked sad and said no I should wear something girly. I sat down With her And told her there is nothing wrong with the toys and clothes that she likes. Tomorrow is pj day at work. I went out tonight and bought a pair of Batman pajama pants. I also told her I am going to be Batman for Halloween, just like her. I hope it helps her feel better.
This is awesome!
My dd just started kindergarten and is starting to say stuff about how girls can only play with girl toys and boys should only play with boy toys. It bothers me so much that there seems to be this distinction. I am going to reinforce to her tomorrow that there is no such thing as a boy toy or a girl toys.

I just emailed the high school principal and superintendent about a Facebook page. There were no actual threats but I think a lot of stuff had been deleted before I saw it. Regardless, it made some slightly concerning comments. "The [town name] Hero" "Only the good are safe" "It's time for a hero" I'm sure it's nothing, but it was enough to catch my attention. The kids are out until Tuesday so that makes me feel better.
Tinder just shows you everyone that fits the parameters you set. You're not matched until you both swipe right. So...did you swipe right?
Nooo, left. It was just a bit shocking to see it pop up. We don't hate each other or anything but still weird. In fact I'm still FB friends with him so it's weird to me that Tinder would show you people from your own friends list since Tinder and FB are linked.
H was home with Alex yesterday morning and I was in the afternoon. I came home at lunch and it looked like the house had been robbed or something. I spent the afternoon picking up the disaster while talking care of the baby, doing groceries and making dinner. This morning I am home with the sick baby. The house is organized, imam doing laundry, the kitchen is clean and the baby is now napping. I am torn between feeling smug at what a good domestic grownup I am and feeling annoyed that my H fails at this so much.
