Some of you might recall my posts from last year when my dad came to stay with my family while having a shoulder replacement. It was very very hard to have an additional person in the house and our home is not set up for him/us to really have any privacy. I thought I had clearly told him that for any future surgeries i could come to stay with him but he just brought it up on the phone and when I said it wouldn’t work for my family to have him stay with us again he practically hung up on me. I hate being made to feel like the bad guy. It makes me feel so guilty.
Today an employee whose name I don’t even know, told me they saw me taking my kids to swim lesson this weekend. I am now mortified to think this guy saw me with messy hair, no makeup, tank top + leggings.
I knew it would happen at some point when I became high enough in the org that people would recognize me without me having any clue who they were, but this was not what I was thinking!
Summer planning win: the big camp that was my kid’s #1 must-do this summer announced their dates and thankfully kept the same weeks as last summer so our precarious summer planning is still intact.
How old was your baby before you went back to nonessential but nice to do work-related overnight travel? I’m a biglaw partner; pre-baby, I went to probably 4-5 conferences a year plus my firm’s partner retreat. These trips arent strictly necessary but they’re “required” for my volunteer leadership roles and they’re important for business development. The conferences are anywhere from one to four nights and require a long drive or flight.
I’m both looking forward to and dreading conferences this year. I’m no longer nursing. But I’ve never been away from my baby for more than a few hours to go to the office. I don’t know that I’m emotionally or hormonally ready for overnights. Fortunately DH is supportive of whatever I want to do. It would be easier in a way if I HAD to go for a trial or whatever. But CHOOSING to be away feels so hard. How have others handled this?
Low stakes question. Does anyone have a “dumb” pedometer they love? I’m looking for something that does not hook up to a smart phone, and can be wearable or hide-able. I literally only need something that tracks steps, if it does anything else that’s fine, but I don’t want something else that’s smartphone dependent. All the options online have me confused.
TIA!
Ugh I’m having a rough one. Woke up feeling crummy, and elementary kid is on his sixth snow day because schools haven’t been sufficiently plowed yet. Luckily our daycare is open so DH took our younger kid in and went to his office, but I’m at home wallowing. Too much screen time for both of us I think.
Brainstorming ideas for visibility as the littlest one (3) is actually a good enough skier where we’re going to bring him to his first big mountain.
Based on a recent near miss with my daughter (who was wearing literally a neon snowsuit and bright orange helmet with me skiing right behind her in my green and orange jacket) when someone who had zero control was just blasting straight down the mountain… I’m somehow finding myself thinking about how to make the smallest one more visible. Any suggestions? He’s 3 so he’s short – Somehow I am thinking about like strapping a pool noodle with a flag to his back? Bike lights?
We follow all the rules and precautions. We’re taking the kids on trails that are totally within their skill and comfort level – we normally ski at a great family friendly local place where everyone is looking out for one another. I just am trying to think ahead to make sure that I’m doing everything possible.
What, if anything, do you do for pre-school valentine’s? We’ll do cards for classmates but I’m trying to figure out whether to attach a small toy, a small candy, or nothing to the cards. Curious what the norm is in your area?
Ugh, my son has what appears to be norovirus, and after 24 hours, was basically delirious and had a night terror in which he became convinced there was a tiger in the room – he was rigid with fear. Kicked my husband who tried to calm him, and then tried to “fight the tiger”, making tiger claws and then leapt at me. I threw shoes as a child, and would turn on all the taps in the house (Oakland fires really freaked me out) so I know he’ll grow out of it but scary in the moment.
And all the “NO BUNK BEDS” commentators were absolutely right.
