I feel like we once had a long discussion about asking people to change seats on flights for kids. This one takes the cake. Lady on the flight in front of me just put her three kids across an aisle. Obvs people got on and the kids were in their seats (the kids’ seats are all middle seats scattered about the plane). She tried to tell them that the people getting on that they needed to go to the middle seats because “the kids are already settled in the seats” 😂😂😂
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”

I’ve been battling an ear infection with hearing loss since June. I had my ENT appointment yesterday. I was shocked when he placed a PE tube in office while I was awake. It was similar to having minor dental work. I can already tell a difference. It’s more of a minor discomfort than pain. The scope was worse than the tube placement. I was able to drive home and feel great this morning.
We had a really nice weekend visiting my sister and her family, but man it always throws me off to roll straight into the week. I blitzed all my usual weekend stuff when we got home Sunday evening, and then yesterday was really quiet at work so I got to really catch my breath and wrap my head around the fact that school start in less than two weeks.
DD went to Lady Gaga with a friend last night and got home after midnight- I stayed up to wait for her so I'm teleworking today and trying to knock off the rest of my annual training. It's looking like the weekend is going to be gorgeous so I'd like to get the screened porch swept out and wiped down so I can spend a bunch of time out there.

LOL I really wish someone would try to do this to me lol

I was very nervous about the anesthesia when my 9 month old got tubes. The ent offered to do it awake in the office which shocked me but he said he does it on adults all the time.

I’m so fucking annoyed. A local church sponsored a breakfast for our school. Cool whatever they brought a fuck ton of CFA.
But now the pastor and his wife are going to certain class rooms to “pray” over them.
Like what if that teacher doesn’t pray to their particular god.
Why isn’t their god powerful enough to just fucking protect the school? What about the classrooms not prayed over?
I’m totally PMSing so I don’t even know if I’m blowing things out of proportion. But I am so fucking annoyed.
We are a public school, you want religion send them to private, keep it in your own home.
Has school started already, or is this teacher prep week? Not that it really matters, just curious. Honestly, they should leave it at “Today’s breakfast provided by ABC Church” and leave it at that. This was common in my husband’s old district during teacher prep week, and I think they invited anyone who wanted to come out to the front of the building to pray, but they didn’t force it on anyone who didn’t want to participate (and this was DEEP in the Bible Belt).
erbear did the people make the kids move? If I was the middle seat anyway, I'd probably just go along bc I'm not losing anything. But middle or aisle... Those kids are moving. Not sorry, lady.
We just picked up DS1 from overnight camp! He’s been there for 7 weeks - so long! His bags seemed under filled. When asked he explained he had to throw away his pillow and bedding because they smelled so bad 🤢 I have him and his friend in the car now and I swear I can smell the luggage in the back. Living in a bunk with thirty 15 year old boys and no AC is pretty gross lol
The kids have a week-long Fall Break at the end of October. We're trying to put a little mini-trip together for the family. We were considering LA, but flight prices are just nuts. Yesterday we brainstormed and changed gears - we're going to fly to my alma mater for the homecoming game! I'm so, so, SO excited to share the campus with the kids, and it's just extra awesome that homecoming lines up with the same weekend. But also, I forgot how expensive this (relatively small town) gets on football weekends!

ETA: also pissed I didn’t wear my pride Mickey shirt so their heads might explode.
This would really piss me off too and I don't think you're overreacting. Religion in a public setting like that gets me all riled up! I worked for a public agency in Florida for a while and the director would always pray before big group meals/meetings/parties and it made me so mad.
I forgot both my glasses and medicine this morning and I'm in the office today. DAMN!
My kids are trying out for a new swim club tonight. The application is very detailed and a little over the top, but it's a very good program. I hope they put them in different lanes or better yet different groups. My younger DD is catching up to her brother with her times and it's a whole thing.
What is this thing that came with my phone case? I hope the picture is not humongous. It’s a lanyard of some sort with a detachable ring with a thin loop attached to that.
I'm in an acting team leader position and boy is it taking me a minute to get out of the worker bee mentality. I just want to jump in and start helping with the workload but keep reminding myself that I need to take a more global view of the workload.
Went to a baseball game last night and was out later than I am used to for a work night. We are having work done on our roof after storm damage a few weeks ago so looks like a good nap at lunch time isn't in my future.
I am so freaking tired today. I am definitely running at a deficit with sleep after this weekend. I am in the office and all I want to do is nap.
My office is having ice cream delivered today and I'm excited. I am never here when the fun stuff happens so it's lucky that I happen to be in today. It's from a local place that I haven't tried but apparently people like, so it should be good.

I tore my ACL and meniscus 20 years ago and had surgery. The last couple of years, it gets sore randomly after I’ve done sports, too much walking, dancing too much at a wedding, etc.
On Sunday I sat on the floor for an hour doing legos with my kids with my leg out straight. Now it’s swollen and hurts a lot. Ugh. I’m thinking the meniscus is having some issues again. I’m trying to ice and keep it up as much as possible, then need to rehab it hard when it feels better. It’s never a good time to have surgery again, so I hope it doesn’t come to that.
I am having one of those rage-filled days I just unleashed on Amazon, which I hate doing bc I know it doesn't feel good when customers unleash on me. But I was so in the right. I am never mean, I just argue like an attorney.
Ok douche, go ahead and call it mud. My husband DID have halitosis. We addressed it after I talked to you girls on here and guess what? Years later, no problem. Mofongo, you're a cunt. Eat shit. ~anonnamus

I won’t go in to detail, but I’m over work and I deserve a raise! But working in non profit world, I know that won’t happen. I’m glad I’ve gotten leadership/director experience, but nope, never again after I leave this job.
@@@ I know maternity leave won’t be a break and people can laugh at me now but omg I can’t wait to not be at work for 5 months. No hot ass subway platform everyday, no n95 mask all day, no patients yelling at me, no staff shortages…glorious.

I don't think churches or any religious groups should be allowed to bring donations to public schools. I know there is a religious after school group hosted in our public schools here and I don't like it.
