bwisco123 That is so sad. Children should not have to bear the weight of these times.
I am so fearful for your country and the world under his presidency (I hesitate to use that word but leadership isn't even close to the correct term).
We have quite a few American employees and have begun the permanent residency process early with 4 of them. We are doing our best to ensure they are taken care of and protected, should they need it. All of them have actually stated that they are likely to emigrate to Canada permanently as a result of what is going on.

I still don't feel great. I now have pain in my back and chest. I am unsure if it's from putting together these dumb displays at work yesterday or is this virus is settling into my chest. Either way it has a large ouch factor. I was hoping MH would come home on his break but I think the snow is too bad for him to drive back and forth. 😕 I may cave in and put on LILO and Stitch so me and G can cuddle and watch a movie.
Also sad student moment. I have this great book teaching kids how they can make a difference and change the world even being a kid. Yesterday's page was about conserving water and taking short showers. One of my students shared with me that she takes FAST showers because her family is practicing taking cold showers because in Mexico they don't have hot water.
I asked if she was going to go there to visit soon and she replied, ' no we're practicing in case trump sends us there'.

I have a cold, ds has a cold and I'm wearing leggings as pants. Don't care. And now, thanks to dh, I'm wearing wet socks. He went out and got the mail (in the snow) and didn't take his shoes off. For real dude?
bwisco123 My SIL is an ESL teacher in PA and a couple days after the election two of her students withdrew and went back to Mexico.
Ugh. It makes me so sad. I was even thinking this morning...'could she just live with me?!?'
It's heartbreaking. I can't imagine living with that fear all day everyday.
It's terrible. I can understand the parents' decision to leave on their own terms instead of living in fear and potentially getting deported and having the family split up.

bwisco123 - Trump is on my shit list. I would love to get him alone in a room and tell him how I really feel. My angry poem last night was exactly about this topic.
Hey guys. My parents took DD out this morning so it's just me and the baby. It's funny how it seems so easy with just the baby now. I'm trying to get in the groove of things now that I'm feeling better but it's so hard to keep up with everything.
No snow here just freezing cold! I can't wait til spring when we can go on walks.
Hi Ladies! Not much going on here. Getting A down for his nap and I hope that he sleeps longer than an hour. Having major issues with the H this week, and I'm finally talking to a lawyer tomorrow morning to see what I'm entitled to, what happens if I file for divorce since H is dragging his feet, and how I can protect my son. So stressful. If only men came with warning labels...

I'm sorry you're dealing with that. That sucks. I'm glad you're talkin to a lawyer, just find out what your options are.

My heart broke into about a million pieces.
This is the worst part of the Trump bullshit. These kids are legitimately afraid and I think they feel so invalidated by our country.

What is thundersnow? Is it a thunderstorm while it's snowing?
Yes, it thunders really loud but no rain just lots of snow Usually I've seen it only in really intense blizzards , it doesn't happen every time it snows

It thought it was a really big Plow Truck at first than I'm like ohhh helll no , this better stop cuz I'm already snowed in , never mind having a tired grumpy toddler running around lol

G has been fighting her nap for an hour now. I have no intention of taking her out of her crib before 2:15 so the joke is on her. She can talk and laugh until the cows come home, I am still not taking her out.
