+1 to drinking tonight. O has been super fussy all day except for right now. He's sitting on the floor reading to himself but still touching my leg. I'm trying to be positive and soak in the snuggles because I'm about to be away from him for almost a week. Cue the panic feelings. Happy birthday, Ian tiffbot! alayne926, sorry about your ds getting burnt. Hopefully it will heal super fast. billyhorrible, t&p to your yogurt car. My eye started twitching for you when I read that.
I'm hosting a play date for a few neighborhood kids and their parents on Saturday. It's a newish groups trying to get started for kids born January-June 2015. What sort of snacks should I serve? We aren't a crunchy organic family but I'm guessing at least a couple in this crowd are. Any safe suggestions that will keep the parents and kids happy at my house for 1-2 hours? It's at 11am but I'll definitely be serving booze.
My friend is so amazing with this. She always has a special tray of kid snacks at our gatherings. Although my friend group is pretty laid back about food. Some ideas: Veggie sticks (not like actual vegetables, the puffy pirate booty kind) Cheese cubes and crackers Fruit Goldfish Kale/veggie chips
I also like animal crackers and yogurt covered pretzels...but I also serve doughnuts or muffins at brunch playdates, so I'm not to concerned about crunchy.
Really if you serve food, people will be grateful. Only jerks would leave the playdate complaining about what you serve.
Ugh, the lady at my university said she'd "look into" if classes I finished after getting certified will count. One college credit = 30 hours, so that would fulfill my hours if so.
If not, I'm either paying to take courses online (about $275 for 3 credits which = 90 hours) or trying to take all of the free credit courses PA offers.
This type of stuff makes me so ragey. The rules change and you're screwed and are out more money and time. Just count it already!
When I was doing student teaching, (after I had been in a classroom for four years), the university sent a math supervisor (who had only been teaching 3 years) to observe me teaching a class (which happened to be calculus). She said to me "I don't think I could teach calculus." Seriously, why was I paying thousands of dollars to have someone observe and rate my teaching when they couldn't even do the math I was doing. Then she told me I would have to take more math classes before they would grant my license. I majored in math. I have a masters in math. What the what? (FTR, I did NOT have to take more math classes.)
Clearly I'm still ragey over that, 7 years later. I hope your journey goes much, much better.
Child is asleep. He seemed better today - MIL said he was kind of cranky, but he ate well and was in a good mood for H and I tonight. Wine is poured, and just keeping my fingers crossed he stays asleep now. This wine is much needed to calm me down from our real estate kerfuffle.
billyhorrible I am so glad it got there! And all in one piece! Thank you again so much for taking us out and for the SD goodies. We had such a great time!
