@rainbowsockmonnkey J is in a Graco Nautilus, currently using booster with back and harness. How do I know when to switch to no back? How tall? 51”

@rainbowsockmonnkey J is in a Graco Nautilus, currently using booster with back and harness. How do I know when to switch to no back? When he can sit well without the use of the sides, and the shoulder belt fits well across his shoulder and upper body he is safe to use it as a backless booster.

I often feel like I don’t fit in. I have lots of friends, but not many that are close. I think Fb makes me feel like this. I have not been on it much for a while and honestly felt more productive and positive. Then I scrolled through recently and saw that it seemed there was a work party for nursing leadership and I wasn’t invited. I think I am not seen as a leader and I’m not seen as a bedside nurse. I have no peers at my hospital. I report in leadership structure not education, so I am not invited for education either. So anyway I’m feeling all blah. I talked to h about it and he asked if I would rather be noticed or be under the radar - definitely under the radar. He reminded me I couldn’t have both and I get it, but still seeing the pictures made me feel left out. I feel like this with friends too, but that I know is my fault because I don’t like to try to coordinate child care so I can do something (if I do I am just tired later). This is such a minor compliant but thanks for listening.

+1 activebaby for being in a weird odd one out position at work so not really part of any work "family" or 5eam for social events. (Im the only teacher in my specialty in the district and float between multiple schools and grade levels) Flying under the radar definitely has advantages but it's lonely too and especially odd this time 9f year. And with your schedule especially how you put so much energy into home-makingand soccer-momming on top of your career of course you don't really want to arrange for child care to try to get time with other friends. A friend from college (unfortunately lives 2 time zones away) posted something on fb a while ago about how in some other cultures doing errands together with friends is more the norm and that's way less stressful and more practical than our norm of go for a drink or coffee or a meal; too bad that isn't more the norm here! I mean covid would complicate that too but really less so than coffee/drinks/lunch. Are there supervisor-educators like you at any other nearby hospitals and if so do you have a professional organization to share ideas and support? Of course that's another thing that takes time ....

Thank you for understanding. I have peers at other hospitals but we just have different reporting structure (so some report to education, some report to CNS depts etc.). I like the errand idea. I do have soccer friends but season is over, so maybe that is why I’m feeling like this too. I really appreciate so much that you say you understand. Makes me feel less lonely <3

DD1 has her "About me" bulletin board next week, and I'm realizing that we haven't really printed any pictures out in the past two years. Oops. At least we have some professional ones of her from dance and school and things...
We'll get a few printed out for her to take, but we have a good amount to send.

This is such a minor compliant but thanks for listening. Loneliness is a horrible horrible feeling and I’m sorry you feel like this. I don’t really have advice but can totally understand. My job is very lonely as I mostly only spend time with the women I am supporting and not colleagues. Then when I get home, I’m the only adult and can’t socialise with my friends or neighbours as have no childcare. The only way I keep sane is to get out and about for days at the weekends with the kids and keep really busy. Do you have any friends who have kids where you could arrange a day out or an event to go to together? Then you don’t need to worry or feel guilty about childcare?

For anyone that has been following the Josh Duggar trial, he has been found guilty on both counts, and is facing unto 40 years in federal prison. The US Marshals have taken him into custody and he will be in prison until his sentencing hearing a couple of months.
The world is a tiny bit better place today.

Thank you <3 I am feeling better today. I think I just felt very left out of holiday celebrations at work. I do have friends where we could arrange things with the kids. That’s on me that I haven’t done that. I actually had friends that invited me out Monday night, but h works overnight so I couldn’t. H said “get a baby sitter” but it’s a school night and the work would just fall on me and the kids would be tired. But I always have excuses … lol …. So it’s probably me who needs to change.

Parent teacher conferences today one of the teachers was talking like the energizer bunny. Either she’s terrified of me or neurotic.

When conferences are only 10 or 15 minutes and lots back to back it's easy to feel like you have to speed talk to get through everything! Or to just get into a robot-like rut Or she's scared of you. ;-p Which kid's teacher?

Speaking of loneliness - our super nice next door neighbors who have totally been my lifeline since they moved here (year and 4 months) - friendly, lots in common, including being really covid-cautious, no local relatives, etc - daughter a year younger than dd and they get along well; ds loves them all too - they're moving away a week from tomorrow. 😭😭😭😭 She was due for a promotion at work and that meant moving, they were trying to wait til summer but there was a position open now in the location she wants (Duluth - she's from MN; will now be 1.5 or 2 hours from her parents; there's a good job for him there too (airport groundcrew; better setup than here) so they couldn't wait that long; Christmas vacation was the best school-year transition time they could hit. We are going to miss them so, so much. Dd has been ok at home still - mostly focused on spending as much time with them as possible - but she will be a wreck after; her teacher says she's already been really down about it at school. Ds doesn't really know yet they are moving but will be bummed for sure. And confused. For me they are basically the only people who I easily see often and actually really like. Plus we have served the help each other out roles that other people around here rely on relatives for. Plus there's the risk of someone unpleasant moving into their unit (3 unit townhouse building with big shared yard and driveway where kids like to play; we are in the middle and grumpus landlord is one end so it's hard to not get into the other neighbors' space, which with this family has been totally fine). Plus the landlord has their unit listed for 20% higher rent than our current (they only paid 25$ a month more than me which could have been for being on the end so a couple extra windows or could be for having started a year later but either way reasonable - what he's asking now is waaay more). So I really hope it stays vacant for a long time because my lease is now month to month and if he finds he can easily get a tenant for 20% more he can end my lease and/or jack the rent way up and I don't want to deal with moving right now especially with both rental and selling prices so inflated. Anxiety producing, anyway. Anyone here want to come rent an overpriced 2BR townhouse (with a garage and a great yard) in Maine? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) Please? No? Fine .... 😣

Both my kids stepped in dog poop today. There is a special place in hell for people who don’t pick up after their pets.
Confirmed c19 case in J’s class. He was not a close contact.
Cot came home from school and said she was tired and that she was really cold. Then she fell asleep which is super rare for her that time of day. Temp check and she was at 101. When she woke up she said her head hurt and she had a stuffy nose. Taking her in tomorrow morning for a test.

mrscheese I can't link anything because I was looking at it through work. Jim Bob basically testified that his memory was fuzzy about Josh molesting the sisters. I never realized that Josh was engaged before. The girl's father was an elder in the church. They met with the girl's parents to tell them that he only touched the sisters over the clothes. The engagement was ended, but Josh went to go live with the girl's parents for awhile. Josh told the wife exactly what he did to the sisters. His attorneys tried to prevent her from testifying because she is "clergy." But women aren't allowed to have any position in the church so she was allowed to testify as to what he told her he did. They also tried to exclude any testimony about him molesting the sisters since no criminal charges were brought against him for that 🤨 they said he went to live with the girl's parents for spiritual guidance and to see if the engagement could get back on track, but I'm sure it was to keep things quiet.

To add on to this, Josh's parents "told" Anna's parents "what he had done"prior to their courtship and marriage, and her parents went ahead with the courtship and marriage. She has said in tv interviews after this all came out in 2015 that she had also been told but that God had helped and changed him. So her family willingly let her marry into the family. (quotations used because they obviously told their own version of what happened)

I don’t Midwest geography well. Is everyone ok after the storms and tornadoes?! I'm good here. e got snow all day yesterday and and last night. This morning is bright and sunny, and the perfect weather for the kids to go out and play in without freezing. I just went iut with a tape measure, and we got a smidge over 6in of snow. So easy for dh to move, and enough for the kids to enjoy, but not have much difficulty moving in.

I don’t Midwest geography well. Is everyone ok after the storms and tornadoes?! I’m 3 hours north in Ky of where the F4 hit so we’re good but it was a bad one. We have family/ random friends in the area posting pics and it’s not good. I think a factory full of 100 people was hit so that’s accounting for a large number of the casualties. Why they didn’t have leadership there getting people to a safe place, I don’t know.

Also hi! 3 kids has done me in for checking all socials. I throw pics on FB and Instagram for friends/ family but I don’t get much time to scroll. I’ve been working from home full time for almost 2 years now as well and I think that makes it hard because I am always doing things here that needs done when I have downtime.
How are all of you?
