I'm frustrated because I had asked for each grade to give me their top 3 books for read across america so we can buy them to donate for PTA.
The admin coordinating asked each teacher to give her 3 books. Some gave options, some gave nothing.
So I can't really figure out the best way to consolidate by grade to be able to buy books for each grade class. Also, the focus was on diversity books for us to buy and most of these are not, which whatever.
I just don't really want to go back and make more work, but I'm not sure where the messaging got lost. This is the same thing we did last year, but our PTA teacher rep coordinated, not the VP of the school.
Just pick books. Don't add another thing to the teachers' plates.
"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.”
Is it possible to get another stomach bug two weeks after you already had one?!
My son threw up the night of the 22nd, and then once more in the morning so I had to keep him home from school that Monday the 23rd. He then had (TMI) diarrhea all week, which was awesome (basically just once a day, but he just wasn't right for awhile). Finally got over that, was fine all the last week, normal digestion and eating, and then back to diarrhea today and he just threw up before bed. Did he really catch something else that soon? I know there have been sick kids in his class. But this seems over the top. He's never sick this frequently.
AYFKM right now. Also my birthday is tomorrow, so happy fucking birthday getting to keep my kid home all day while H is gone all day and night.
Yes I am grateful we got to go out with friends last night and its not a huge deal if he has to stay home tomorrow, but I'm having a moment.
I tried on three (3!) dresses for my dad's funeral and they all looked good last week. Today they are all too tight. WTAF. I have a back up that is more forgiving but it is a heavy wool from Biden and it's going to be 60 tomorrow. FML.

We are watching the Grammy Awards. This is probably one of the best ones in years. When the 50 years of hip hop came on H and I were hype AF. I kept reminding him that Busta touched me. (It was my shoulder, but it’s me) we have seen H’s old coworker multiple times. She looks so damn stunning. H said he was comping 4 hours this week at work. He said he was working by watching . 🙄 and I may have a slight buzz going. This vodka oj is hitting hard tonight
I am on a cruise, and just got the WiFi package to surf the Internet to overcome a massive middle of the night panic attack. The waves have been ROUGH, and we are 1.5 days into about 2.5 days at sea before we stop somewhere, and my whole body is vibrating to GET OFF THE SHIP. I haven’t slept in two nights because every giant movement almost jolts me out of bed. I felt like a baby about the waves until I heard the crew members talking about how nuts they are too. We better be able to dock at ports because if we have days and days of this, I might not be able to handle it!
During the day, I am absolutely fine and having a great time, but apparently in the middle of the night, I turn into a wreck.
We are also in the unusually cold temps, -11 at 7am when I walked the dog. Thankfully the wind has died down though. Last night I went out with friends and just the walk from car to restaurant was brutal. We had tickets to see 80 For Brady after, but the movie theater had lost power so that didn’t happen.
It was a good night still, one of the group is having her double mastectomy/DIEP flap reconstruction on Tuesday so we gifted her some stuff like a mastectomy pillow and robe (great suggestions from here!). She had bought nothing like this already so she was grateful. She also loved the candle that said “I wish I could take your pain and give it to someone we hate”.
I had a double mastectomy 2 days ago with implant reconstruction. It’s brutal. I can’t even imagine the added DIEP flap. One of the things nobody mentioned is an electric or battery powered toothbrush, if she doesn’t have one. I gave mine to my son when he got his braces (replaceable head, of course) a few months ago and just thought about getting a new one last week. It wasn’t in anticipation of my mastectomy, it was just coincidence. It is absolutely the one thing I’ve said to myself, “thank god I have this.” It hurts so much to lift my arms, I can kind just hold it snd lower my head down to the toothbrush. It really has helped me feel better to be able to brush my teeth myself.
(I’m doing really well, surgery went better than i could have hoped for with a really positive outcome. This sounds like a “woe is me” post but it’s really not. I could not be happier for the outcome. Happy thoughts for your friend”
Thanks for that info, I'll pass it along!! I honestly don't think she's got any idea of what is ahead of her for recovery. I say this only because another friend created a FB page for breast cancer journey and shared really graphic pics and info about her recovery from this same surgery. It looksed INTENSE and TBH I don't think I'd ever choose it for myself. Friend opted for the DIEP flap for a more natural feel, but I don't give a crap what my boobs feel like if I could avoid that! She's not the type to google and obsess over everything, so she's really just following the instructions given to her by the hospital/doctor and hasn't looked into anything like what posters here told me about like the pillow or garment to hold drains. Who knows, maybe it's better that she isn't obsessing the way that I would be.
I'm so glad you're happy with your outcome and wish you a smooth recovery ahead!
