Thursday DDOTS and TWERKs

[mommyatty]

DDOT I have a physical today. Plus I still have a kidney infection after two rounds of antibiotics. I’m getting super-nervous about the physical. I’m guessing he’s going to say I’m too fat, my cholesterol is high, and my blood pressure is possibly high or trending that way. All of which would be fixed if I got off my fat butt and exercised, but I’m unmotivated and lazy. Plus I swear exercising makes me anxious. I can’t explain it. It just does.

Tummy tuck done.implants ended up on my doctors higher end recommendation for me at 385. Inner thigh lipo doesn’t hurt. Been very conservative on painkillers. I’ve had 3 since Tuesday when I got home in the evening. Mostly Tylenol or Motrin. I’m doing everything I can to avoid constipation but I’m already struggling with it wvenwith what little I’ve taken.

Binder is uncomfortable, I felt it was digging into my very tender sides (lipo on flanks and abdomen) and dr agreed. They got me another one but it’s also uncomfortable. I will wear that for 3 weeks. When they took the first one off I got lightheaded and felt like I would faint. Then I got nauseous. I only took off the anti nasusea patch this am. Had a sponge bath and H washed my hair. I feel so much better.

Today is better than yesterday. Pain is still like 6.5-7. H is being amazing.

campermom, I hope you heal fast so you can enjoy your results.

DS got invited to Sadie Hawkins. He agreed to go as friends, but the suspicion is that she likes him more than a friend. The date told DD that she was going to do a big official ask with posters and whatnot at school. (Apparently, you don't just ask people to dances anymore, it has to be something Instagram worthy). I just hope DS doesn't get embarrassed then turn on his heel and walk off and hurt her feelings. He's not one to be the center of attention. I thought about warning him, just so he wouldn't do that and tell him to be nice, but I decided to stay out of it.

campermom, glad you are doing OK. Hoping for a good recovery for you.

DH got offered a local consulting job. It is a local model trying to move a bit regional. Having come from a national/ international model, I guess I don't really know the difference except more commuting by car and less airline travel presumably. k3am, any thoughts?

campermom, Chia seeds? Those have like 40% of your daily recommended fiber in 2 tablespoons. I eat them a ton with the whole gluten free thing. Also, congrats! It will all be amazing once you heal up.

Hope you heal quickly, campermom! Sounds like you're going to have amazing results.

I'm just updating my love life. I dropped hot nerdy guy in June b/c of communication issues primarily. Dated around. Met hot, nerdy, corporate, athletic, upbeat, introspective, intelligent, corporate, direct, talker guy. He's a keeper 1000%.

rere, I can't imagine being in high school nowadays with the way kids ask each other out to dances. Seems like a lot of work, and a lot of opportunity for embarrassment if they say no. #old

Today is my Friday!! I'm so excited! Our kids are tracked out, so DH & kids are headed up to the lake today and I will join them tomorrow around lunchtime. Its less than an hour from our house, so not a bad drive at all. Plus our good friends along with their kids are joining us tomorrow as well - this will be the 1st time we're all camping together since before we had kids! It will be a little different but I'm hoping we'll all have a blast.

I have not managed to speak to Dd1’s teacher. Tonight is open house. I have no doubt I will have some opinions of some kind to share with y’all.

I have decided to attend a virtual networking event within my industry. I am not sure I even want to move jobs or locations but I am curious. Problem? I’ve been here 10 years and my resume has only been nominally updated. mommyatty, didn’t you use a professional resume editor recently? Was it worth it?

I'm in New Orleans until tomorrow morning. I'm ready to go home. Training has been great and my coworkers are amazing. But I'm tired of humidity and being pressured by my coworkers to go out late every night. I did it a couple nights but want sleep now. I go straight from the airport after 10+ hours of traveling to picking up DS. I'm excited to see him.

Beau and I have not only planned a trip for Hawaii next month, but we're already talking about more plans in the future. Things are good.

Tonight is Meet the Teacher night at DS's school, so I'll see his teachers. I'm anxious.

On the related TWERK - DS has been told to spend every recess/lunch by the side of the aid, he had a tough time with it on Tuesday, but yesterday went a lot better. He told me all these things he found out about the aid and it seemed like he enjoyed talking to her. Coincidentally, I also got texts from 2 separate moms from DS's class - one was a super cute picture of DS playing with her son and her toddler at the school playground after school, and the other text was from a mom thanking me because DS gave her son a few treasured Pokemon cards. Both moms commented on what a sweet boy DS is. Those made my heart happy.

traveltheworld, we struggled with DD's behavior last year... like full on playground brawls. At one of the first events of the year, a parent tracked me down to ask if I was DD's mom, and I was terrified of what I'd hear, but was pleasantly surprised when she let me know how much she had helped their son in the mornings when he was afraid at dropoffs.

It is such a nice feeling to have other people point out that the kid I know and love exists, because we rarely hear about the GOOD things our kids do, but the bad things certainly get talked about.

DH has jury duty for the next 2.5 weeks. And it is awesome. For me. Because the courthouse is walking distance from my office so I've had lunch with him two days in a row now and I have zero complaints about that.

DD has a black eye. She was playing on the bars at recess and some kid knocked her and she smashed her face into the bar as she was doing pull ups. Yes I have the kid does conditioning/workouts during recess. Actually a couple kids in her class give her a hard time for always having practice and/or doing gymnastics all the time. An older kid that DD hangs with stood up for her and told them to leave her be and how do they think she can do all of it if she didn't practice.

DD is enjoying her messenger job for the principle. It is basically right before school starts and at the very end of the day so fun at the beginning and end but the rest of the school day is boring. When I ask what they did it was go over expectations again and individual testing.

I need to take some time off work just to get away from the office. Of course when I would like to take time off is the busiest payroll time which doesn't work, ugh. There are a bunch of weeks where I could take a Thursday off so have a 4 day weekend but I think I need more than just a long weekend.

[traveltheworld]

Meet the Teacher night went surprisingly well, but greatly confused me. DS's main teacher said that DS is awesome and it's so delightful to have him in class. I was like huh?!?! She also said that she had offered to have him sit back with the rest of his table mates a few times already but he said he wants to sit by himself. I didn't bring up the not allowed to play during recess thing. She also voluntarily brought up setting a time next week to start working on his IEP goals.

I was a little sad because DS ran into another grade 2 teacher in the hallway and the teacher spent quite a bit of time chatting with DS. Then I saw that teacher's classroom - it had wiggle chairs, an energy bike, and a super cosy "I have big feelings right now and need to be by myself" tent....all things that I think would be great for DS!

You are reminding me I haven't been taking my multivitamin. I'll put chia in my yogurt today.  My appetite has decreased but I am still eating pretty good. Friend brought over pizza and salad for us. I could only eat half the salad and didn't eat any pizza bc I'm backed up.holy shit prune juice-very effective! I have to takeoff my whole body garment to poop but not to pee. It's like a half hour to get it on and off.

We went to Dd1’s meet the teacher. There was a terrible car crash, the road was closed and despite me leaving work early we were still 20 minutes late to the “late” session — which started at 5:50. 🙄

I continue with my assessment that the teacher is disorganized but the class issues are not insurmountable. H, who evidently lives in a rarified pampered sphere where no one is ever inefficient or just average at their job, is up my ass about it.)

Sometimes it’s like H and I were raised on different planets. I am in a MOOD.

[librarychica]

Oh and of course he was all charming and left me to ask the bitchy questions .
