Hell yes. Although, LO just started sleeping for more than 3 hours at a time this week, so we might not have to hit up my parents for the consecutive sleep hours for much longer.
Yea my little bugger doesn't sleep worth crap either. I'm lucky to get an hour at a time most nights. Gotta turn a corner soon!!!

Speaking of sleep, my FFFC:
We've been playing musical beds in our house lately.. sometime SO and I in our room and her in her crib (rarely), some nights I'm on the futon in her room to start off then take her with me if she wakes up too much, some nights she's in our bed with me and SO is on the futon in her room(mostly). ANYWAY.. last night she fell asleep in her stroller while we were eating dinner, and I just went to bed in our bed by myself with the stroller next to the bed while SO was watching TV. I heard him getting ready for bed and he went to bed on the futon. She was still asleep in the stroller at the time.
Long story. The point is... I debated telling SO to come to bed in the bed since she wasn't in it anyway, and then I literally said outloud to myself "No girl, get your bed!" and closed me eyes lol.
Related FFFC: If I had enough money/a big enough house, I would have one shared bedroom for me and SO a la sexy time, and 2 individual bedrooms a la sleeping. Because SNORES.
I figured that was the LT the unfortunate part is there is no way out anytime soon bc DH doesn't work, so it's all on me.
What about working for an agency as a SEIT? Then you can work park time, make your own schedule, etc? I know it sucks because you don't have the school schedule or vacation time off though. Does it have to do with the type of population you teach? Could you switch grades/schools?
I am very much looking to make a change next year and try to transfer schools. My school is very stressful and my class this year is ridiculous. I think I'm also over teaching at this point. I'm thinking maybe it's time to go back to school and try something else.
Eta: Yes budders is right I'm not Special Ed, I'm Elem Ed ESL.
stinybean I've had those thoughts. It was really bad at the beginning of the year. I kept trying to figure out some ailment that would keep me out but not keep me from enjoying my time with lo. In my old district, teachers who were assaulted by students got a year paid. The fact that I think about that with envy makes me think that I need to try something else for awhile. On the plus side, I have a week off for Thanksgiving break. I bolted at the end of the day!

I need to move to your district because that's the exact reason why I don't want to go to work.
I once forgot that one of my nephews exists. I was visiting my sister, the same sister that I had seen multiple times while she was pregnant, I had spent the day watching her DD when she was in labor, and visited later at home to see the baby. He was probably around 4 months old or so and had already been put to bed for the night before I came over. I was talking with my sister when I suddenly heard a baby crying from the other room. For a moment, I was completely shocked and wondered how there could be a baby in the house. She jokingly said "Hey, don't wake up my son." And I just pretended everything was fine, but in my mind all I could think was "She has a son? ...ohmygosh, I completely forgot that she has more than one kid now! What's his name again??" He's 4 now, the sweetest little boy and my favorite nephew. I've still never told anyone that I forgot about him.
stinybean I made a school change 2 years ago and am so much happier. I went from being at one school to 5 last year to 2 this year. Still happier even though I am split and on a cart half time (elementary music). The school I started teaching in became a toxic environment for me. Administration was very supportive of classroom teachers but not specialists. They did things to please parents that really screwed over teachers and made no sense educationally. I was coming home crying at least 2 days a week. DH told me I needed to find a new school or change districts. Getting out of there was a reset button and has let me love what I do again. I work with special needs students and general education students. I don't remember- did you take maternity leave at the beginning of the year? If you have leave left, take time off. You can't be an effective teacher if you're miserable. Also , I've been able to leave work at work this year. Make your time there as effective as possible and just shut your work brain off when you leave.
jessila I find my school very toxic, actually tbh the whole staff does. The principal is not easy to work for and does not make it a positive environment. I do feel I learned a lot from having worked here, but I've hit a wall. I hope that I will be able to transfer at the end of the year, I suck at interviewing so that could hold me back.
My leave ran out during the summer. We're only given 6 weeks from birth, it doesn't spill over unless you do fmla. That's not an option for me financially.
I wish I could make my time at school more effective, but meetings on almost every prep with parents/administration are making that difficult. I have to use thanksgiving break to help get myself ahead.
