Ellie Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Not "Lost." :hat: Revolution (JJ Abrams), Friday Night Lights, The Leftovers, and now American Crime (both seasons). I also did "My All American," a movie about a football player. A pilot for a Lifetime series that wasn't picked up, and a series that was but shouldn't have been, canceled after just three episodes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Good Morning ITTers! I ran out of likes at 6:00am. There should be a law against that. I am horrible at being pregnant, but very efficient at giving birth. I do it especially well with an epidural, :hat: , although I did it once without it and lived to tell. (Maybe I've already told that story - delivered 15 minutes after I got to the hospital with my 3rd.) ETA: Regarding pain, the worst two were the inductions - worse than the labor without the epidural.

I do not do well with pain. I was making up all sorts of curse words when they upped my pitocin without giving me an epi...and I don't curse. A friend of mine did much like you with her second baby. She was pretty sure she'd give birth in the parking lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Ivy Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 ETA: Regarding pain, the worst two were the inductions - worse than the labor without the epidural. I was induced and I hope I don't have to go through that again. My BP was getting way too high and they were worried about me, so we induced. I wasn't even remotely dilated or effaced. It was rough. Pregnancy wasn't enjoyable and birthing obviously wasn't enjoyable. But, at least I got this darn cute, sassy kid. :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have rehearsal tonight - it will be good to get back to playing with other grownups. :) The photographer was at dd's birth because the paper was doing an article on the midwife group that I was using and decided to focus their story on my experience. The photographer was very non-intrusive and only came in the room when we gave the OK a few minutes after she was born.

ETA: Regarding pain, the worst two were the inductions - worse than the labor without the epidural. I am very bad pregnant. Hyperemesis makes it misery from the moment of conception to delivery. Turned out I wasn't very good at delivery either. 12 hours hard labor with both. Dh thought I was dying. I hardly said a word though and couldn't even open my eyes. Dr was worried. In olden times, I would probably not have the beautiful gifts I have today. My body is just not baby friendly. That is why we had to stop. I wanted four :crying: I have a friend who pops them out like candy. She has 8:-) Coffee! Must. Have. COFFEE! You just reminded me I stuck some in the frig. Nuked coffee may not be my preference, but this morning, I will take it! Poopaerobics! I woke up a little before 4am and started to doze off again just about the time I had to get up.

The worst one, thankfully, is in SPED, so I only have to deal with that situation for maybe an hour all together. But, I've had 4 years of this, the last 3 being unbearable. I'm honestly surprised by my ability to hold out this long. As I said earlier, my only flicker of hope is that the 3rd grade teachers are saying we will love this upcoming class.

Renai Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I like pregnancy. Although with the first I was vomiting for about 7 out of the 9 months. At least I finally figured out it was the 1% milk and switching to whole solved that problem. The second, I was so silly and everything made me laugh. The cat often worried about me, and would try to calm me down by putting her nasty paws in my face. I didn't let her. I laughed at her. I also climbed a fence and couldn't get down. That was funny too. :lol: Birthing is 50/50 - one csection and a vbac. I'm glad I didn't get late ultrasounds or they would have highly discouraged me from birthing my second. Oh, well, she's here now. I remember some silly nurse, upon learning the weight of my 2nd, exclaiming that I should have had a section. I gave her the strangest look. She realized how strange she sounded considering I pushed the kid out. :laugh: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Announcement: It has been a Banner Week here at the Rivendell Academy of the Frozen Tundra. On Monday, DD received her AoPS grade report for Intro to Counting and Probability. She struggled MIGHTILY through that class, worked super hard, and spent extra time after the final class to bring all Alcumus sections into the blue. She got an A (which may or may not be very impressive because they only give letter grades on request and I suspect they always make it an A), but more impressive were the instructor comments, including "[brilliant child's] ...problem-solving and mathematical computation skills [are] on par with those of a second-year mathematics major at a very selective college." Yesterday, DD received her grade on her Latin 2 final. Latin 2 being her introduction to real Latin. Up until this year Latin was gentle and informal and I put her in the class with much trepidation. Ninety-one percent on the final, 92% for the semester. Woot! This morning, I got DD's PSAT report (we did it for a pre-high school baseline.) Under 1400 but super close! She may have a National Merit qualifying score in our state (yay for rural states!) as an 8th grader. Woot Woot!! So, in summary, :party: :party: :party: Result: School is closed for the day. We shall head south to Not So Big City and watch the new Star Wars in 3D! (After I go shovel poop. Le sigh.)

However, the cryers and screamers continue. It's constantly, "Aaaahhhhhh!!!! He touched my plate!!!!!!" Whatever, seriously. Two of them are constant cryers and screamers. One is so off the chain and rude. He was hitting me on Monday. When I told his dad, the dad was like, "I don't know why he gets upset like that. Ok, you don't hit, remember?" I'm like, "Spank the kid until you break his spirit." No, not really, but it's been that kind of year. It is hard to get learning through play, when I'm still trying to teach half of them how to play. I have no flicker of hope for next year. We're getting the kids on the ground floor. :lol: I used to work from home (mostly) for 7 years. I choose flexible jobs, so some I call work from home, but may actually be outside when dh was home with dd16 (she was an only child for 11 years). For example, I've done tutoring both online and face-to-face, but I call that an at-home job because I chose my tutoring days and hours. I've had home daycare. I've also done a lot of phone customer service for different companies, including the IRS. There is no way I could work phones with how noisy my 2nd is, though. :lol: I'm looking to work as a teacher for an online school. The problem is my license is early childhood and only goes up to 3rd grade. I'd have to take another year of classes to get an elementary license or special ed (my preference), and I don't really want to do that. I'll see what happens, but hopefully I have something in place by May. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't understand it. I totally understand on the "break their spirit". You don't want that to happen, but then again... I had that last year.

Professormom Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 A confession. My guest could have arrived starting a half hour ago. The longer it takes for her to get here the better because the less I have to entertain. The less I have to entertain, the less tired I will get. Boy, I sound like a lousy hostess don't I? I really do like people and I will enjoy the visit. I just don't know when dh will get off work and how long it will take him to get home etc. before we can go out to dinner. Her arrival time was a bit up in the air because she is getting a ride from someone else. #justkeepingitreal This is old and I am catching up.

Renai Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 My 8:30 alarm just went off. At this time, everyone would be sitting down eating breakfast. Child #1 will be screaming and crying stating he doesn't want _____ in his plate. Which is a moot point because they serve themselves he doesn't have to put the food in his plate if he doesn't want to. Child #2 (the one that hit me on Monday) will be trying to force child #3 to take the milk pitcher, and getting upset because #3 doesn't want it. Thus, #2 will start screaming at the top of his lungs that #3 HAS to take the milk and pour it, but won't do it. #3 is pushing back with a look that says, "what is wrong with that crazy child?" The milk spills. Meanwhile, #1 has slid his chair across the room to the circle area because of the imaginary food in his plate. #4 has started wandering the classroom, probably hiding under the pillow cushions in the library, because that is what he does. But, then, he'll see the spilled the milk and start grabbing a lot of paper towels to help clean it up. Then, he'll take milk and continue to spill it on purpose so he can continue cleaning up. #5 is just being crude and loud, trying to get everyone else to laugh. He'll be told for the tenth time in 10 minutes to stop banging his plate and/or cup on the table. #6 has politely asked me to refill their milk pitcher, while #7 at the same time is yelling to fill the same pitcher, over and over again. #8 used to be such a polite child, now he instigates as much stuff as #'s 2 and 5. Actually, this is not what would be happening today, because this is what happened yesterday (well, #4 didn't catch the milk spill, but that is something he would do). There would have been a slight variation today. I only have 14 students in my class. Sigh. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
