We're leaving soon to go to H's university where we have to wait until he's done teaching classes to go to Columbus. Here's hoping LO is cooperative on this entire trip!
Lol at h, though - he came downstairs this morning with her jammies, a bib, and her sleep sack and wanted to pack them. Please, those things have been packed since Monday!

And I have another cold sore that I feel is coming out. Fuck. I don't kiss M on the lips ever- only on the cheeks and head... But you guys know teething babies, drool, hands everywhere. Am I going to be terrified every time this happens that I'll pass it to him ?! We're past the danger of it being life threatening to a newborn right? Sorry I'm obviously having an SS moment.

This week DB is seeming bored with all his toys and the main thing entertaining him is one of my beaded necklaces. Which, of course, I have to watch him like a hawk while he plays with it so he doesn't break it and choke.
Any toy recommendations that would be similar to a necklace? Something with a lot of colors, shapes, and movement?

Yay for Friday! Except I have a million things to do today. I'm going to try to delegate some to my secretary so I can leave early. Thanks to daylight savings traffic I've been late to pick up BH every day this week. Today I'd like to get both boys early since we're meeting DH at a hotel for a staycation weekend.

They have teething necklaces that look like real jewelry for moms to wear. Granted they're brightly colored, but they could be cute if you dress them up right:) and frankly if you're wearing/carrying a baby anyway than the necklace won't really be seen. I'm asking for one for Christmas before DD breaks my necklace DH gave me when we were dating:(

We had another night of only 2 wake ups. But I feel like I got no sleep. He slept 8:30-1:30, 1:30-5:30, then up for an hour and went back to sleep for an hour. Also, for he sake of my relationship with my grandmother we have GOT to move back in to our house asap. She is a know it all and I'm just so tired of it. Then she gets mad at me if I say anything back to her. I'm at the point I just can't bite my tongue anymore. And she needs to stop humming.. It's driving me nuts. Miss grumpy (me) obviously needs to go back to bed.

I am the vet with our pup right now, she's been having accidents in the house (which she never does) so I think she has a bladder infection. I'm feeling like a mommy superhero because I'm wearing DD in the ergo, she's sleeping, and I'm able to wrangle the 93lb furball!

I've seen some of those teething necklaces that aren't brightly colored and are actually really cute. I'll update if I can remember the brand
We are planning on taking DS to the city tomorrow and take him (ice) skate shopping for the first time! It's like a Canadian rite of passage happening here I'm so excited. Nothing crazy or fancy, he's only 2, but we want to start casually going out to the rink just to try something new with him.
Then H leaves for Orlando early Sunday morning so I'm on my own for a few days. I made a few plans to visit family though to get us out and about.
It has been a crazy week at work. I'm excited to be going for a quick trip north tomorrow and Sunday for my youngest brother's birthday. It has been so warm here (high of 79 today) and the forecast is for a little cooler this weekend (50s), so maybe I'll pack some hoodies.
We had our apt carpets cleaned this morning! I'm really happy to have it done, but now they're damp. It's too cold to spend time outside and we finished running errands. I don't know what I'm gonna do with E for the rest of the day now. I wish he felt like napping as much as I do!
budders Sorry about the rough day. What type of special ed do you teach? I know you said severe but that can be many things. I teach severe/profound multiple disabilities. I've taught severe/profound autism as well. But I teach music so I only have my students for 55 min max per week.
Also your flex time is part of my dream job. I'm always early to work and wish I could leave equally as early after I'm finished with kids.
budders we had a couple emotional crises at school today so I understand feeling drained! We have one student who just got adopted after 9 years of foster care and the poor thing is a mess.
We sent home reading work on Tues with a student with a note that said, "please have K complete pages 28-29 at home tonight. When told to do it in class, he kicked over a chair and refused." Today his dad sent back the work, not done with a note that said "No!!! It's schoolwork so you make him do it at school." Is this real life? You don't apologize for your child's behavior and make him do the work? I would've gotten beat if I ever acted like that in school.

Oscar took his first tumble today. I slipped on my sisters front stairs of her house. I flew backwards onto my butt and he literally flew out of my arms. I screamed like I was being murdered, and watched him bounce on the steps. By the time my dad came running out I had somehow scooped him up, but had my eyes closed and was yelling for him to tell me if Oscar was bleeding, or what had happened. Luckily, the only thing that happened was he bumped his head. Once I nursed him he stopped crying immediately, and was all smiles. I wonder if my scream scared him more than anything. I'm scared that I will be replaying in my mind as I try and fall asleep. And here's a little picture of his bruise for your time!

mcp6286, I can only imagine how that kid acts at home... I definitely feel for you. And the parents. (though yes, I'm sure the parents contribute to his behavior in a way)
budders, I'm so sorry that sucks! I have so much respect ofr teachers who work with kids iwth severe special needs. It can be such a difficult job. I've only subbed in those classes and I can only imagine how rewarding but absolutely frustrating and heartbreaking it could be.
I am counting the hours until Sunday at noon....my BFF is arrive for a whole week!
budders I'm sorry about your day. That was my year last year and a big reason why I did not return to that school for a long term position this year.
mcp6286 I've also been there. It's always the teachers' fault, don't you know?
We left our house before 7:30 and we're still not in Columbus. LO has been asleep since about 5:45 (when it got dark). And this was why I wanted to be at the hotel by 6!
carolyngrace I am so sorry you fell!! But I am glad that both you and Oscar are ok- that must have been so scary. You're right though- your screaming probably scared him more than anything. Babies/kids in general are so resilient.hope you can relax and recuperate a little this weekend!
Today we we're scrolling through old pictures on the computer and we got to when DS was born, he was preemie and had cords and tape and such all over: *poof*
We told DS that was him as a baby and he looked confused and said 'baby Ian owe?'
I don't think looking back at his pictures have ever made me emotional like they did right then.
