Fuuuuuuck

I'm very sad for my profession and our children's education. Hopefully she can't accomplish a lot in 4 years and it can be undone.

I am putting my hopes in bureaucratic red tape and her lack of knowledge keeping her from being able to do anything major.

I'm praying that by the time E is in kindergarten we have another administration getting ready.

I did it because I watched the show I mentioned and those people do some crazy shit. I also did it because I didn't want the cray to find yl or her husband. Also, I mostly have no idea how the internets work.

What's the consensus on ovulation strips? Some brands better than others? Any specific websites I could suggest a friend to read?

I found the wondfo ovulation tests to be accurate even if the pregnancy tests sucked. Very cost effective too.

I'd send them to the gku blog .

I was about to say "for a friend, eh?" and then I remembered you were pregnant.

Wondfos were really reliable for me before W. Especially with PCOS it was the most affordable option. Fertility Friend has a good app with lots of easy to understand info on all things TTC (esp if she wants to get into charting as well).

yl - I'd be pretty ticked about that too. That's crazy.

My OB told me to use cheap pregnancy tests and name brand ovulation tests. No personal experience though.

LOL I did the exact opposite. Guess it goes to show what works for one person won't necessarily work for the next person.

I can't find the meme anymore, but it's my new favorite.

"Pat Toomey: Answers to 'Patrick,' 'Pat,' and major donors."

Like isn't quite the right word for this.

Really grossed out at the "moderate" people who voted for this fruit loop.

North Carolina's Thom Tillis's office says he's UNDECIDED and wants to hear from people.

I called so many times over the past few weeks, but unfortunately he cast his vote for Betsy Devos.

Honestly, everyone I know is calling NC govt and making a huge sound. Doesn't seem to make a bit of difference but we are here to give our voice.

One thing that has come from the immigration ban is that a local group of liberal women have reached out to local universities (duke, UNC, nc state, a few smaller ones) and many of us are taking international students who are afraid or unable to go home for spring or summer break.

And it all makes sense now.

[mnj05]

1. I don't understand why education continues to not be a top priority.
2. I sat through the most useless training ever and have to sit watching videos and taking a stupid test for up to 2.5 hours after school next week.
3. I'm exhausted. I need a week long vacation that consists of naps only.

Booked my flight. I'll be headed up north from the 16th-19th. Grandma is going to the hospital for an MRI tomorrow to try and find where this other cancer is. She will stay in the hospital for unknown time for more tests.

Lmk if I can be of any help pixiepink24. My schedule is probably more flexible than the working mamas.

Thank you! Even though I didn't want to spend the extra money, I rented a car to avoid my sister driving two hours down to turn around for two more hours home and again a few days later. But I will be arriving around lunch time Thursday if anyone wants lunch before I have to make that trek. I'm sure W will want to get out for a few.

Also, can everyone please please please do a weather dance to make sure there is no snow or ice. I cannot drive in it for the life of me and have major anxiety in any bad weather. I don't even want to think of rental car, bad weather, country roads I don't know, and having my child in the back, anxiety.
