It was such a nice weekend, this week is going to draggggg. Let's hoping it flies!

[vthokie]

We have 2.5 days left of school. My H just allied to say that A vomited all over herself in the car. Seriously?! He has to go to school so I guess I'm heading home in a bit. I'm SO out of days. And the kids last half day is tomorrow. I don't love this group, but still a bit sad not to see some of them. This better be from all the phlegm she has from allergies.

I'm in hospital for induction. It took 4 sticks for my IV and I have great veins. First 2 I could tell off the bat they wouldn't work (newer nurse), 3rd stick IV was leaking and had to redo. 4th was the charm but now I'm sore from all the sticks. I hope the rest of the day goes better than my first 45 minutes!

[monarobinson]

Good luck to racheliz!!! Can't wait to see pics!

[ktstorm]

Good luck racheliz!

My ils just left, Daniel is at school, just Alexander and I, it's so nice and quiet. I love my ils, I really do, but after 2 weeks I'm ready for a break.

Good luck racheliz

It's the last week of school, which means the last week of pumping!!! I work W and Th this week. This has been such a hard year due to not sleeping, so I'm excited for it to be over and to start fresh next year.

I just got home from Henry's parent teacher conference. He is doing okay, but they gave me a lot of things to work on at home. He is borderline on everything, socially, writing, understanding. How am I supposed to know when it is average versus something I need to get checked out? I had felt better about his speech after all the screenings, but his teacher said we should really keep an eye on it.

I am currently feeling like a shit mom. I don't want to work on things at home. He is in full time Pre-K, I see him from 6:15-8:00 M-F and on the weekends. I feel like the time at PreK is when he works on things. He is so young.

I also nearly missed getting him signed up for afterschool care, and haven't toured his school for next year. The PreK teacher seemed surprised about that.

At work I am getting reviewed (by a review team) and they found all this stuff I have to research and argue. I am having one of those days where I feel like I am failing at everything, and excelling at nothing.

Dropping off Ruby has gotten really bad. She cries and clings to me every time. And it's about to get a whole lot worse because she will have a 2.5 week break in end of June/early July before she starts 5 day a week camp with all new teachers. I'm at a loss! Poor girl

[imimahoney]

I'm sorry sunshineluv, that sounds so hard.

Have you had him observed by your school district yet? That might help with narrowing down his needs.

M has 3 days left of school, so far I am going to not be working this summer I am excited and also scared because I get bored of staying home and I'm afraid I will go crazy. At least we will be able to go outside all the time. I am going to be working during the school year and also going to school full time so I guess I should relax now!

We went to M's cousin's dance recital yesterday, it was 3 hours long and she sat through the whole thing and LOVED it. I could not believe she didn't start complaining I was getting pretty over it myself by the end. Of course she wants to do dance now but only for the sparkly costumes and she said she wants people to clap for her lol.

I saw ladybug deactivated, hope she's okay.

I don't know if this is a nationwide thing or not, but in MN, kids go through a pre-kindergarten screening by the school district. It's a fairly quick screening eval done by a nurse where they can look for areas to watch. When I had W's done, I specifically asked for an eval by OT for his behavior issues and they were happy to set it up.
It's easy to get overwhelmed with working and parenting. I'm sure you're doing a great job

I have an interview tomorrow for an administrative assistant job at my current work. I would help with scheduling and oversee when new therapist complete certain milestones. It's a guaranteed 20 hours a week but I can still have some clients so I'm hoping to work 30/32 hours a week.

Our training director lives ounof state so I have to skype interview then go right into a client session. So I'm not sure how to really dress. I typically just wear jeans and basic tops since I'm on the ground moving a lot. I do have a good rapport with the person I am interviewing with. Fingers crossed!

Blake have his therapist her gift today. He told me she cried. He's usually pretty reliable about what he says, so I think she did. She texted me and told me thank you and that he's been such a blessing to her.

[teamhayes]

I was really hoping to go next Tuesday

Oh well
Now I wish I dieted bc I think I might have to wear maternity pants or stick to dresses unless I want to shop

Who doesn't lose a pound post partum after week 2?
Annoying

What did you end up giving her?

Tonight Claire said - "I want to save this puzzle for when we have a baby" I asked her what? Olivia chimed in, "for when we have a baby" I asked "what baby?" And her response was, "when we have one in our family" I said, "oh honey, I don't think we're having a baby in our family" to which they both shouted "but I want too!"

Uh Oh. This is the second time in a couple of days they have talked about when we have a new baby in our family.

[carawestt]

Olive took her first steps last night. So it begins! 😩

Don't you want one too!? Just doooo it

My girls are the opposite and they always talk about how they DO NOT want another baby lol

The "The Call is Coming From Inside the House" thread just popped into head for no reason and I'm cracking up.

[steph196]

[blane12]

A framed picture of her and Blake, a gift card for a pedi, and a LONG note professing my love for her lol.

We've talked to him about how he won't see her anymore for a long time, but I think he's going to be really sad when it sinks in. His summer therapist's name is Jen as is his OT there, so he thinks it's funny that he's got two jen's now.

[blane12]

sunshineluv - please don't feel like that. I've felt that way before too, but I promise you are doing great. I get not wanting to work on stuff at home when you have such few hours to even see him. Hang in there momma!!!

I maybe do. I definitely would if I could stay home or my H didn't work 24 hour shifts but neither of those things are changing so I'm not sure I'm really up for it. That's really funny how they don't want a baby!

Also, we just started planning our Disney trip and I don't want to be pregnant or have a baby! Disney wins? Lol

I can't make these big life decisions! Seriously. I talk myself in and out of it all day long.
