Happy Thursday!!!

[ashiscute]

Good Morning!

Today DD is graduating from kindergarten and DS is graduating from preschool. At the same time so I cannot go to both ceremonies. I'm so, so upset. Since DS is doing a 3rd year of preschool I'm choosing DD's and my parents are going to his. I'm still super bummed. Especially since they both have another full week!

Anyway, then we're all going out to lunch and the kids are both super exited. I hope my parents get a good video!

[lovemyirishtwins]

I still think that the preschools should check the schools graduation schedules before making their plans ashiscute. So ridiculous.

I went for a run this morning and now I have a terrible headache. It was so hot I am chugging water to rehydrate.

I have my mom's group board meeting this evening. Even if it is just sitting around and talking business I need adult time.

I am sleeeeepy today. Nick has an awful dry cough and ended up sleeping in bed with me for a few hours last night. I need the all the coffee.

Have only been able to poke in and LT here and there this week. Miss y'all!

I am so up in the air with work. Very busy in my interim position but principal may be coming back any time. Keeping tabs on my regular school and a couple others that are on my radar for next year. Really nervous about high stakes end of year testing at my regular school but there is next to nothing I can do about it from here.

I've been getting some hints about my position and location for next year and I'm very conflicted about it. Nothing will be set in stone for another month though so I'm just in limbo.

Thank you everyone for the condolences and encouragement.
Not much going on here today. DD is in preschool then tonight I have study group.
On the plus side of things my car id getting fixed. It'll take two weeks but at least it isn't just sitting there anymore.

I'm running out of clothes that don't make me look pregnant. I think I may have to announce on Monday. I feel ridiculous. Hi, I'm almost 11 weeks and I look like I'm 22.

I just really don't want to announce before my loss milestone. Maybe I can just pretend it's not there for another week. OB visit this morning at 11, FX all continues to be well.

hereiam - I think I missed yesterday's post. I'm sorry you're having a hard time and I hope it gets better.

[sarahh]

@officedronette, I'm in the same boat and I'm only 7.5 weeks. I have one work shirt that is a bunch of layers and covers it but the others I think accentuate it. I have caught people looking at my stomach but I too am trying to wait until 12 weeks.

[ashiscute]

lovemyirishtwins to be fair the preschool had it on their calendar like a month earlier than kindergarten. And all the preschool classes do it a different day so it's just bad luck.

EmMilAlly I never do randoms because this always happens! Gah!

[Deleted]

sarahh - preach. This has been an issue for weeks. It's getting so much worse. This point with Lily a random paralegal CONGRATULATED me. She didn't even ask - she was like OMG you're pregnant congrats!!! I damn near had a heart attack and was like I am TEN weeks pregnant - what are you doing?!??

I'm drinking three hours (each way) to buy a pikler triangle today. This is up there with the stupidest thing I've ever done.

Drinking and driving is dangerous

Guys I'm super bummed about Chris Cornell. My sister and I cried when we were in middle and elementary school because our Dad (also a huge Soundgarden fan) wouldn't take us to see them in Philly. We still never saw them together. She got super sick when we went in 2011.

[lovemyirishtwins]

@officedronette Chris's passing is a huge shock. He was just here this last weekend. It is very sad.

I was very confused by @traceyos post this morning. Normally I can easily decipher typos because I am the queen of them but I was thoroughly confused until sharebear05 posted in response. I am clearly not on top of my game this morning.

@officedronette and sarahh LTs for support. We had to announce earlier than we wanted to this time as well. I was so stressed about trying to hide it, then stressed about announcing.

But then it was SO NICE not have to hide it or find clothes that work. It was such a relief to get the announcement over even though it was earlier than we wanted. Hugs.

[sarahh]

CoachTsWife, I have another ultrasound next week at 8w and if it goes well, we are going to tell close family (siblings and parents only). At least I will be able to get it off my chest to someone!

I think I have another ultrasound at 10w and I may be tempted to at least tell my boss and the people that report to me if that one is good after that.

JR was bonkers last night. She usually goes down easily with some snuggles and stories, but last night she was like HELL NO. I was wiped and had taken some allergy meds so I brought her into bed to cuddle and she just tossed and turned and chatted and sang until 9 pm (normal bedtime is 7:45). Any time I closed my eyes, "Mommy wake up!" Also she apparently knows the English version of Frere Jacques! Who knew! Anyway I just gave up at 9:10 and put her in her crib and she CIO and fell asleep by 9:20.

ETA: I know this is normal shit for some of you and I'm sorry.

CoachTsWife - I hate that it's so complicated. I just want to wear clothes and not have to worry that my blump is clearly outlined. The first two things I put on this morning I had to take off. Thankfully I have a lot of black? If I can just make it through next week I'll feel a lot more comfortable.

Pretty sure I embarrassed myself playing softball last night. I can't believe how rusty I am. Everything hurts today and have a giant bruise on my wrist. Clearly I'm very out of shape too. I did treat myself with a bubble bath with Epsom salt, wine and some ibuprofen. W didn't go to bed until 10 but she did so well with my friend while I played. I'm really happy that I can do something without W for once. Hopefully I improve and my skills come back before the end of the season.

Good morning....I spent an hour in the middle of the night awake. I popped onto NextDoor since I couldn't sleep.

For the last month or so this man has been trying to get rid of his "vast ceramic duck" collection but refuses to post pictures. He wants everyone to come to his carport and take a look for themselves. I feel like this is the start of some kind of freaky horror movie and he is using the ducks to lure in unsuspecting victims.

And I am baffled by how many people have actual questions and show interest in these ducks.

That's my random...off to go catch up.

Most of you are too young to remember him, but Jeremy Sisto used to be a big crush of mine...I saw him at the Y this morning and he looks terrible. Sad face.

[sarahh]

mrsbeachcat, that's sad to hear. Whenever I think of him I think of "Rollin with my homies"

[wineandcake]

One of my friends just told me she had a super squinted on a pregnancy test... Obviously I had to strongly encourage her to send me a picture so I can examine this. I feel like everyone is pregnant lately, every time I hear of someone else pregnant I'm so relieved its not me. I want to buy all the cute baby stuff for friends, but never again for myself. I want everyone else to be pregnant asap just so I can spoil them.

I love Six Feet Under. It was one of my favorite shows. That stinks that he looked so bad but cool that you got to see him.

kristhegirl are you still following the state of the forum/website thread?

I am starting to get....anxious, still radio silence from the admins and people are talking back up plans again, which at this point, I am honestly fine with that because I am so effing fed up.

Haven't read since Tapatalk page 75. It is up to 158 pages. Catch me up?

I am on my desktop at the moment so it's tough for me to see where you left off - did you see the last posts from Naria and Biblio? That will help me give you a better update.

I saw biblio's post about her kid falling off a stool and that she was fed up. I assumed there was much discussion and revisiting of the same complaints after?

Yeah, so basically in a nutshell, members just had a ton of questions for the admins. Naria answered some, then peaced out and went totally radio silent. Then Biblio came in and answered questions, and many of her answers were very different from what Naria had said. At this point no one had heard from Naria here, but she was posting elsewhere on Facebook. Then Bibs had to peace out, came back and wrote that fucked up last message that I don't even have the words for. Andddddd since then, NOTHING from either. Complete silence.

Right now there is talk to moving over to Scary Mommy, their community boards are set up much like ours here and some members are reaching out to admins over there. Some are already dipping their toes in the water to see how they like it over there.

All I can say is, our admins here fucked up, big time.

@katechristine18, did you see the last page of that thread? The post by tcf news?

Literally just saw it.....

For anyone interested:

"TCF isn't going anywhere right now. We will work through the suggestions given and look toward the future. If you want to stay great, if not then we're sorry to see you go. This has gotten out of hand. Theo is on vacation until 6/1, Naria is in the hospital, and biblio is only one human.

This thread has served its purpose and is well past the end of its useful life. Feel free to continue the conversation, but we will not be responding."

I had to miss DS preschool celebration today. Stupid work! I'm now trying to take a nap if only Z would get on board that its nap time.

[Deleted]

I am not making any big decisions right now. I will stay here for you guys, but I may start to be more active in facebook and create another account on Scary Mommy. The way the admins handled this, I am very upset. I am not deactivating yet.
