Currently snuggling a sleeping baby after his shots this morning. He's already been asleep on me for an hour. I made a rookie mistake and didn't plan ahead for this nap. No water bottle or snacks within reach . I need to be packing for our weekend trip but I'll take baby snuggles all day long.
@holachica same! I do not bring stuff home to work on because I get it done during the day. I work every minute possible during school hours to accomplish this. When we got married that was my rule so I could be present at home. I will live by that now even more with O.
My parent were both teachers. My mom was like you guys. But maybe did some grading on a Saturday. My father -- procrastinator and he always. Always was working on grading tests and doing lesson plans on Sunday night. It never failed.
Ya'll, I'm just posting and running, haven't read spam, but can anyone tell me if I can take Theraflu while nursing? I'm at work and can't look it up, so TYIA! Will catch up on my pumping break.
Per Theraflu website active ingredients are acetaminophen, dextromethorphan hydrobromide, phenylephrine hydrochloride. Per infant risk website each of these is okay. Kellymom says phenylephrine is okay. (Pseudoephrine may lower supply so read your labels carefully!)
If you don't need a combo med, try to take individual meds instead. Theraflu contains both cough suppressant and antihistamine. Shorter acting versions may transfer less than longer acting versions. Tylenol and a nasal spray may be a better alternative.
lotsofdotts, boooo for her. If she wanted to make a big production of the schedule change--fine. But throwing you under the bus bitching about 'communication?' Not cool.
Have you approached her yet? Or any of the people she threw you under the bus to?
I talked to the other people involved and apologized. They said I wasn't in the wrong, she was. I'm just going to let it go, but I won't tell her anything again. That's for damn sure.
Any one used Zarbees before? This kid's cold will not go away! I have a call into the pedi but DBF found this mucous stuff at Target and bought it. I told him were not using anything until I talk to the doc.
I used that cough syrup for LO when he had that nasty cough after we got back from vacation. It seemed to help!
boxerrrmama85, Big hugs lady. I think a talk with your Dr is a great idea.
DD had her first tennis lesson last night. She did so good! All the other kids had been to lessons before so she was a bit lost and confused about how it worked but overall she did really well. And I love her instructors. They are an older couple in their 60's or 70's who are amazing with kids. DH and I are thinking about taking some adult lessons with them. It made me feel a lot better about her starting preschool next month. She didn't look over at us once.
Hehehe every once in a while I forget you have 2, so I had images in my head of 6 month old in tennis shoes running around with a racket. aaaaaah funny
PikoPiko it frustrates me so much when I feel like people are judging me for the amount of time I spend in the office - that mentality is totally unfair to working moms. I'm in the office for about an hour alone each morning before everyone else starts showing up, but I definitely feel like people notice when I leave anyway. Honestly if I'm getting my work done without spending 60 hours a week in the office why does it matter? Work smarter, not longer.
I had a Co worker who would make comments that she was always the last person to leave the school building, that she hates seeing teachers leave without a mountain of papers to bring home, etc, implying she works the hardest. But then we had an off period together last year and I'd be grading and planning for the current week, while she sat on pinterest or would plan a unit for a month from then. I was like dude, you aren't working efficiently. I wouldn't take shit home because I'd work throughout the day!
I'm working at a new school now and I'm not gonna miss her.
I'm not a teacher but I worked with people who would stay much later than we were paid for and I never understood why. I left exactly the time my 8 hours was up and not a minute later. And I always got all my work done in a timely fashion. I don't think it makes you look better to stay later than you are supposed to, rather the actual quantity and quality of your work.

DS is going on 3+ hours of nap. He has been bundling all of his daytime sleep into one long nap.. usually between 12-3. It's nice when I'm home, but he kind of cramps my style when I have stuff to do outside of the house.
As a new mom, I feel we get judged not only with leaving work early, but the time we "disappear" to pump. My supply has taken a hit and I'm not able to pump a whole feed anymore, so I'm pumping longer to try to get slightly more milk out. For some reason every time Im away in the mothers room, someone would be looking for me. Damn. At this point I really am not that bothered with my career. They can all kiss my @$$.
At Drs office. I was a little late and then it took the front desk staff 20 minutes to update my insurance because the computer kept saying it was inactive (it's not). Now it is an hour after my appointment time, and I'm still waiting. was planning to be home to feed DD in about 10 minutes. Guess that's not happening.

And I just had to reschedule the appointment instead. It was at least another 30-40 minutes before I would even get in. Meanwhile DD had her bottle and was still hungry. Bleh. If I'm going to spend a few hours away from her I'd really like to either accomplish something or have fun. Not sit in a waiting room and then go home!

My mil is visiting today and entertaining the LO while I...do absolutely jack shit. Fuck I'm such a lazy ass. I wish I could kick myself into gear already.

Eh you deserve a break though. Take your lazy ass to bed and take a nap
lilyelayne thank you for the info! Sadly it did nothing to do the faucet that is my nose. I despise runny noses. I ended up leaving work. Hopefully I can nap while LO is still with grandma and wake up feeling better.
Hugs boxerrrmama85 and all the other working moms! It is so hard to come home to a 6 month old and realize I've been away from him most of his awake time since he was born.
Happy meals: would you give your 14 month old a happy meal?
A fb friend posts pics of her daughter eating happy meals, chips, cookies and all sorts of crap a kid that age shouldn't be eating IMO.
I feel like they're setting her up to make bad meal choices when she's older.
If I had an underweight kid who never ate...I would probably give them chicken nuggets and apple slices from mcdonalds if they would eat that. To each their own though.
Yeah I would do that too... and if my kid was otherwise healthy I would let him/her eat fast food or junk food for special occasions or as treats. I don't think you should eliminate anything, but definitely limit.

My coworker is unbelievable inefficient. She feels the need to spend hours on requests when they can be cranked out in 45 minutes. She will stay in the office and work 9 - 10 hour days. I don't know how she does it. I would go crazy being in the office that long every day.

14 mos is a bit young, but who knows if the kid is really hard to feed etc.
I still struggle to get my 3 year old to eat anything. Sometimes a cookie and some juice is all I can force into her and if she does eat it, it feels like a victory.

I can't judge because I've done things like this, but it would be on a very rare occasion and when life was super crazy that McDonald's would be the only option. I try to avoid junk until my kids are older so that they don't get a taste for it, but I can't judge.
Guise I'm nervous. DD hasn't pooped in 36 hours and she is on amox which is known to cause diarrhea. I'm afraid I'm going to find a baby covered in poop in her crib!

I have no problem with the occasional mcd's. But they go there every week, more than once. That's excessive and unnecessary. I know this girl, she goes to dc with dd and she's not a picky eater so they certainly don't need to eat there that often.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't judging them , but TETO I guess.

Now, I would judge that. Occasional-yes, frequent-hell no!
I can't remember who it was that had a lo in love with watch me, but this is for you
My real life version of the whip. I posted this on Instagram that he loves doing the whip while eating bananas and MommyOfAMiracle had the best hash tag to add #nowwatchme(ba)naenae
