We're coming to the end of the New Mexico portion of our trip. We enjoyed Taos and the views of the mountains/expanses around there and Albuquerque. We've spent some good time with my mom, SD, aunt and uncle. We head out at 5am tomorrow and tonight is the big family gathering. Then we're off to Cape May, NJ!
Our anniversary is Sunday, but we'll probably just go for a drive or something to celebrate.
Happy Anniversary!
It’s our anniversary too! 17 years. We’ve been together for nearly 23 years, more than half our lives. We are probably spending it taking the kids to the pool and cleaning the house. Very romantic.
Our kids are all at a sleepover tonight, so we are either going to see the latest Planet of the Apes or renting Killers of the Flower Moon.
A staff member is pregnant and doesn't want anyone else to know yet. She only told me for scheduling purposes. This is, of course, fine. But I keep kicking the can on discussing projects that will change once others are aware of this news and I am starting to look silly.
I find this behavior so weird, though I know from being on here that it’s common. In my opinion, you tell work or you don’t tell work. You don’t cherry pick which work people you tell and which you don’t. You’ve relinquished control over the information once you have shared it. Obviously, I don’t mean you but people who do this.
SAHM now, but when I worked as an SLP in inpatient rehab I didn't want to announce to the world till I was 12 weeks, but then we got a patient with an airborne infectious disease and I had questions on precautions, so had to confide in a nurse.

We’ve been at the beach all week and our new life hack is that we take the kids out for happy hour around 3, eat delish things like pretzels with beer cheese and nachos for half the price then we come back to the house and feed them some protein when they get hungry and dessert later. 1/3 of the price and everyone is happy.

I understand there are some jobs where it needs to be shared on a limited basis for health or safety. And I also think some women do a poor job of managing the sharing/not sharing of their pregnancy professionally.

Well it’s a good thing there’s universal clear cut guidelines that make sense and nobody has to fear retaliation or weirdness in the workplace so it’s a super simple thing to do!

I'm home and sad about it lol. Traffic was a nightmare, but DS was a champ and did SO well! I'm drinking a latte just to get through the next hour or so because I'm exhausted.

I took A to the beach for about an hour today, and actually got in for a good 30 minutes with him. He was soooo happy I actually got in. I need to do that more often.

I find this statement weird. Just because I told my boss who has an obligation to keep medical stuff private is not the same as telling the entirety of my 45 person organization. Especially because some people acted inappropriately for my first pregnancy I didn’t tell about my second pregnancy until 17 weeks. I received almost constant comments about my size during my first pregnancy for example.

I think women can decide how and when to share their personal health information.

Some of my favorite places! Are you sure we aren’t related? Both those random places are two of the (very) few my immediate family has roots besides Philadelphia. Enjoy Cape May ❤️❤️❤️ that’s my happy place. Weather should be perfect!!

Cape May is where I spent my childhood (weekly trips in the summer). It's my happy place too!
