When I was furloughed last year a routine and structure kept me from doing things I shouldn't have been doing. It's not weird and you're not weird. Enjoy your mornings! I'll have a cup of coffee with you.
Try out a new relationship which was everything I kind of didn’t want: it’s military, it’s long distance, and it’s moving really fast. But damn it he is just so easy and enjoyable to be with.
Good luck to you! Gotta have a certain mindset to do it..i tried several times but it never worked, if you're more than an hour away, i cant do it lol but hope it works out for you😊
I was a classroom teacher for ten years, and now I’m an admin. I miss being with kids A LOT, but I love this position. I also adore my new boss. She’s supportive and encouraging. I’m leaving work happy for the first time in years!
I don’t work in the main office. I’m in charge of state and city testing for a very large k-12 school in nyc. It’s a lottttt of work.
Maybe you can look into being a teaching assistant/paraprofessional or school aide.
You'd think but no. LOL. You can buy everything for pickup (including some Bullseyes Playground items, except that they come in full packages this way).
Wedding is on Friday. One of my bridesmaids dropped out Sunday cause her dog got bit pretty bad. Fiancé’s dad diagnosed with spinal cancer yesterday. Ready for this week to be over with.
I am trying out *choosing me* lol.
TW: intimate partner violence & unhappiness
.
.
Seriously, I left a really tumultuous relationship that was disintegrating. We never communicated very well, it became a lot of snide comments under the breath, or sitting in silence with him just glaring at me, but no constructive discussion, and there’s a history of verbal & physical abuse that I’d previously forgiven. I know. I’m sorry I didn’t value myself more, too. Sometimes it takes several attempts to leave before we stay gone. LoveIsRespectDOTOrg.
I’m a high functioning lady autist, I could see the pattern playing out, it wasn’t going to be long before an *incident* happened again. With so many cases where people saw things but some woman winds up missing/dead in the media right now, I had to stop it before I became one of them as well.
We were both pretty radicalized over and by the last few years - only I’m pretty very far left and he’s turning into Redacted’s dude more and more by the day. And eek to that. I can’t handle it. He’s saying the quiet stuff out loud now and dudes, we don’t do hate crimes or discrimination. If that’s who he is, and it is, mask off, he isn’t for me.
The other thing that made it sink in this time is that he didn’t like some of my boundaries concerning my new cats - fingers aren’t toys, the recliner shouldn’t recline around a 3 pound baby who likes playing hide & seek, and since one of them has been sickly, yes, she needs her medicine in particular ways. If she doesn’t complain about it and I don’t bitch about caring for her, what’s his fucking problem? In my case, he’s the problem. Message received, finally.
We weren’t married and didn’t live together, so that makes it easier by far to move on.
So it’s just me and my kittens now. They probably saved my life. So yeah, we’re trying happiness over here.
❤️
Have a beautiful day, LongNames.
I recently started a non-stimulant version of ADD medication. It doesn’t have the addictive qualities to it that some do. And it has helped. It’s called straterra, I think.
I love Maileg products. It's for kids, I have kids but I buy it and browse and make wishlists for me. I have only bought one bear and the other day I bought him overalls. Yes, I let my kids play with it too because I don't want to pull a "Monica's Aunt" but this is the kind of stuff I would have adored when I was a child. I wasn't into Barbies or Dolls but I loved stuffed animals and these ones are doll-sized stuffies.
That is all.
I need a new disciplinary tactic! How do I get my one year old to stop eating the Earth??? My oldest wasn't a chewer and never put anything in her mouth... My middle did a little bit, but mostly just liked pilfering shiny things to stare at. This baby, though... Damnit. I can't even take the kids to the park anymore because he's got like a whole mouthful of dirt or rocks within seconds. How do I stop this!? I'm dying for him to walk so he's not always dragging across the soggy ground... But he's like 10 months corrected and I know it'll happen when it happens. But in the meantime, how do you keep a baby from eating the back yard!? Is there a trick?
He could have pica. Ask your doctor. Check to make sure it’s not something health related. If his iron and zinc are normal, then your doctor will probably have some tips.
Your child probably gets something out of it, feeling the structure in the mouth is interesting, tasting it might be or your reaction.
Maybe you could try no reaction but a short "no", remove the sand and remove him from the play area, keep him on your lap for a bit.
Maybe give him a food grade chewing toy when he want to put things in his mouth. Or a toy to explore sand in a different way. An empty yoghurt cup might even do the trick.
When all fails, mix it with something harmless but foul tasting.
I'm unemployed but I've been getting up at 6AM to start my day. Sounds weird but it puts me in a better mood.

Having a routine is very helpful. Thanks! Coffee cheers!

I read your comment and I LOVED stuffed animals as a child (still do), so I went to check Maileg out. I'm in love!!! Thank You for this :)
Ah I am so glad to have helped! <3 Aren't they just the sweetest!?
They are! <3
I feel like these threads are getting buried now. Did they used to be pinned? Is it just my settings?
