I got nothing. I played with my new laminator at work today. Started a new staff, showed her around walked her through basic set up, still need to cover some of the ground rules, no one-on-one, no using food as reward or punishment, no holding doors to the outside open for strangers, etc.

That’s really the gist of the day. Still so much to do, ( Read more... )

Starting to worry I’ll run out of time before tadpole comes, and won’t be able to get everything done that I need to before I have to go on leave. Which wouldn’t be an issue except it would mean having to work while on leave, and I don’t wanna!

Tried to plow through things today. Took in a big box of stuff from the house. Emailed/facility-duded ( Read more... )

I’m trying to think of today’s highlights and I’m mostly drawing a blank.

Yesterday Madelyn, our upcoming new staff, interviewed me about kids with behavioral issues for her edu 119 class. It was actually pretty interesting to be asked questions specifically and to me at least it showed me where I excel and where I could use improvement. But I hope ( Read more... )

Today I was achey, and just generally felt like shit from the booster shot. On top of that it was also a full day of programming without enough staff, so that was fun.

In the heart ache department I had to miss Molly’s ob appointment today, but Molly dropped off the ultrasound pictures afterwards and I definitely spent some time just looking at them ( Read more... )

Got my moderna covid booster today. Then Molly’s parents and my da
D came over to help us clean and organize and generally prep for ta
Spikes arrival. Everyone managed to stay pretty civil. And the house is looking pretty good. There’s still lots to do, there’ll always be more to do. But for today it looks good.

Today was the virtual baby shower. As we left to go to my parents house Geneva, Jon, and Corvus were pulling in behind us. We stopped and exchanged some awkward glances. They got out and revealed they were dropping off a bunch of baby gifts before the shower ( not sure if they were trying to see us or not see us).

Then we went to my parents house. ( Read more... )

Went to bed last night with the makings of a migraine. When it wore off around three I woke up and really had to pee. Then went back to bed.

As a result I was wiped this morning and stayed in bed til almost 10.

Urinals are stupid. Men’s bathrooms are stupid. Somehow Molly and I just got in an debate about them. I’m all for peeing standing up in ( Read more... )

Had weird dreams last night, I don’t remember most of them but I remember one of them was me freaking out because some part of me has been expecting the worst with this pregnancy, and now that we’re near the finish line (of the pregnancy, the starting line of an even bigger journey), dream me was freaking out about not knowing anything about babies ( Read more... )

Today I tried to plow through things on my list. I met with Ashley to let her know about my time tables moving up, and met with Justin to assign some expense card homework.

I also went ahead and color coded and labled the various book shelves and toy shelves. The centers carts still need organizing, but this was a big part of my list that I needed ( Read more... )

So the big news of today is that we’re scheduling an induction on November 4th, six days earlier than Tadpole’s original due date.

I’m freaking out a smidge, but also excited. What has me more freaked out is realizing I’m double booked for next Monday. It’s a full day program and we’re short staffed that morning. But also we have an Ob appointment, ( Read more... )
