I'm half assedly helping teach CPR today while trying to prep for my new classes next week. It's really difficult though because I was given a computer no longer supported by the district to do my work on. It won't accept my flash drive or a keyboard where all the keys actually work, and I just sent files to a printer that claims to be in the library. Trekked four flights of stairs just to find out that it does not actually print to the library. So someone, somewhere got my copies, but I couldn't tell you who or where. So that's about where I'm at today.

Sounds like it's time to go home and sleep. (Wishful thinking)
But positive is I got up and got ready, got the kids up, took H to work quick (since his truck is waiting to be repaired yet), came back and got the kids ready and dropped them off and made it to work on time even with stopping for gas.

I'm pretty sure you accomplished more so far today than I have all week!

Yesterday was a crap day. 3 year olds and dental work do not go together well. I am absolutely broken up about how he had to be held down, screaming and crying. He was burnt out and so sad at the end. All while I am trying to comfort my poor baby, the dental assistant/hygienist is fussing at me over and over that I need to do a better job brushing his teeth so he doesn't have to go through this again (fillings) and that I need to be told how to do it. Yeah so now I feel like total shit. I know it's stupid, that they don't know that we have a family history of weak enamel, they they won't believe that I brush that kid's teeth twice a day for 2 minutes. But I already am blaming myself for the issue, so I don't need her to make it worse.
And today the boys are sick and I have some sort of lovely stomach problem. I haven't sorted out if it is a bug or just a bad reaction to some food. Either way today is a total shit fest of left over emotions and sickness.
scoutradley you need to find a different dentist who is good with kids. It makes all the difference in how they are at visits. We have friends at church who will not go to certain dentist because of how they act with kids.

butlerfan this wasn't his normal dentist, he was referred to one that is supposed to specialize in workings with kids. We will never go back and a complaint has been filed as well as a poor review left.

scoutradley, Its so hard to see your baby in pain and can't do anything about it. I agree with butlerfan, I would be finding a different dentist. There is no reason for them to belittle you about it. Hopefully your little will have a better experience next time.

scoutradley, I'm so sorry they treated you and your son like that. Judgment like that feels terrible when you're doing everything you can to take care of him (and are doing a great job!).
Happy Friday everyone! This week has been so stressful and exhausting but today things are looking up a little bit. I finally got a good night of sleep last night (thanks to Tylenol PM) after sleeping like crap all week. And today my work cafeteria had my favorite salad dressing available for the first time in like 6 months. And I randomly got connected with a fellow foster parent in my area (thanks to a foster parent facebook group invite from butlerfan ) who invited me and my H to a foster parent support group tonight. We were able to find a babysitter last minute so we can attend the support group! We've been looking for something like this in our area for months!
I'm going to have Stayin Alive stuck in my head all weekend after so many rounds of CPR trainings.
Lurking, but our CPR trainer on campus plays that during sessions too. I thought it was just him...guess I thought wrong.
The beat to the song matches the beat at which you're supposed to do chest compressions. It's pretty typical that instructors at least mention it, if not play it.

Yeah!!!!!! Glad you found some people to connect with and you got some sleep!

Learn something new every day!
I used to be certified in cpr... ages ago. I always tell h I wonder if I should get a refresher. Seems like it wouldn't be that bad of a skill to have lol
Happy Happy Happy Friday! Tomorrow is my 5 year wedding anniversary, and I am so looking forward to dinner, drinks and a generally romantic evening. On that note, if anyone has any really brilliant ideas of nice things to do for the husband for the anniversary, please share! We always do an anniversary trip in lieu of gifts (that's coming up in a couple weeks), but I'd still like to do a little something special for him tomorrow.
{Click here to see more.} In other news, tomorrow is also my best friend's baby shower, which I am hoping to get through with minimal angst. Whoof. Love her, happy for her, but still so acutely aware that if I hadn't miscarried, I'd be just two months behind her.
butlerfan, ceejay, As a former foster kid myself, I just wanted to say you're awesome. I'm sure being a foster parent is insanely difficult, but you're doing amazing work!
MsG, happy anniversary! I'm no good at anniversaries, I don't think we've spent the last couple doing anything special. For our 4th last summer, I was driving cross country with my dad and H was working; for our 3rd I was super jet lagged from getting home from a conference in Prague the day before. Maybe we'll get it right for #5 this summer?
{Along MsGs lines...} I feel for you. One of my best friends was due two weeks before me. We were so excited, I usually deliver 2-3 weeks early and her a few days, so we thought we'd have babies right at the same time. Of course I still am thrilled for her and want to be there for her pregnancy. But it is so hard. Watching her starting to get a belly and all that. I'm hoping I'm pregnant again before she has the baby so maybe seeing her with a newborn doesn't hurt so much. Sending you strong happy vibes for tomorrow.
