Thanks, everyone, for your kind words. I think I need to stop comparing myself to people who don't have newborns, or people whose newborns are a lot older than mine. I have one of the youngest babies on my other birth board, and sometimes I forget that she's not even 6 weeks old yet. It will get better!
IMO There are way too many sleeping babies, exercising moms, and helpful husbands on F17 right now. I am in the same place you are and I have all the extra help of sending Henry to daycare. You are doing a fantastic job!!!
Right? They're like sttn in their cribs and the moms are exercise goddesses. I'm over here like... I showered twice last week! Yay!
So DH had to pick Dylan up from the drop in daycare because she vomited today. He said there is green goop in the corner of her eye too so I am thinking another ear infection.
She threw up once on Saturday and then had diarrhea on sunday but I thought it was something that she ate. If its another ear infection I feel terrible that I ignored the signs until now.

They are lying. I mean I've never stepped foot in F17, but they have to be lying.
I just found out this morning I'll be filling in as interim principal at another school in my district for the rest of the school year. Tomorrow is my last day here.
This is exciting and a great career opportunity and temporary promotion for me, but I feel like I'm completely abandoning my current teachers, students, and staff at a really critical time. There has been a lot of crying today. And it's super awkward because we all love my principal, but I do a lot to keep this school together and so my teachers are completely freaking out and acting like the world is going to end- and it's kind of rude to do in front of her...because she'll still be here.
H is in San Francisco all week at a fancy pants summit hosted by apple. On Monday he was in the front row at opening day for the Cubs. I need to get a job in an industry that involves more traveling and schmoozing. I'm feeling some kind of way about all this given the circumstances of our marriage right now. Luckily my mom and stepdad are coming over for dinner so I'll have an extra set of hands during bedtime tonight because Henry keeps adding more and more things to his routine. Like, last night he wouldn't put his pjs or diaper on after his bath until he had shut every door on the second floor, which of course led to him peeing on the floor. He then wanted to clean it up himself by wiping it around with his hands and cried when I tried to help. Thank goodness he's cute!
I saw the tentative teaching schedule for next year and I got nothing I asked for, so apparently the 5-paragraph persuasive essay titled "Please Don't Fuck Me Over" that I attached to my schedule request form was just used to line the garbage can.
I seriously feel like I'm going to cry. I'm sitting at my desk just willing myself to hold it together. It's not really working.
I just went to my doctor for a measles booster (in Canada I'm in an age group that was under vaccinated and public health is saying that we should get boosters). Now I'm just chillin' until a consignment sale starts at the school down the street.
I'm working from home today and I don't have much work to do because I'm waiting for other people to send me stuff. So I will just eat cookies and watch Netflix.
Renewed my car registration (also finally changed my last name for my registration, took, like 4 years for me to do so), scheduled my car inspection, ordered another car seat for Nick for my car now that we are using it more often, AND badgered my husband into keeping Friday afternoon and evening free so we can rip out some garden beds in our back yard that are in terrible shape. It will be hard work but I am actually looking forward to it. And he's NOT getting out of it.
yl hugs to you. I'm so frustrated on your behalf reading the things that are going on at your job. It's so terrible that someone as talented as you is being made to feel like this because of a poor work environment. More hugs, lady.
Oh, even better...I just checked and they have me teaching the last period of the day which, a) hardly anyone teaches, b) is where they put the discipline problem kids, and c) I specifically requested not to teach because of child care issues.

This post makes me want to hold you and stroke your hair and tell you you're pretty and wonderful and amazing. Then I want to feed you chocolate.

Oh, yl , I'm sorry. That sucks so bad. Do you have any options?
My co-teacher is assuring me that this is tentative and that they probably haven't even looked at anyone's requests yet. I seriously want to barf thinking about it. This is not how I wanted next year to go at all. I was really looking forward to it.

Oh, good. They do completely useless schedules for what, fun? Practice?
Screw that. The squeaky wheel gets the grease - squeak squeak, mother fuckers.

yl, that's bogus to post "tentative" schedules like that and then try to pull the "well, it's not set in stone...". I agree with kristhegirl, you should speak up/express your concerns and see what changes can be made.
I posted the other day about my neighbour chasing off a solicitor with a gun. Well, MH posted about it on his personal FB page. Today, he received a call from the police! They managed to see his post while scoping out local FB posts. He was so freaked out. Big brother is watching...
Last night I was looking at Elmo sandals on my iPad and this morning my SO told me he had a banner ad for the same shoes on his work computer. So creepy!

I mean... not really that creepy. It's just retargeting based on an account that's been logged in to on both machines. Every click and keystroke is tracked and sold.
I've never even been to his office, and he's never used my iPad.

We bought a new car over the lunch hour! A 2017 Ford Explorer. When filing out the paperwork the finance guy (DH coworker) pointed out that I have better credit than 99% of the American population. Go me!
