Thursday Friday Chat

Cuppycake · Guru

Hey Sonya!

I'm actually getting stuff done today, and Hannah's getting ready to have a quick playdate.

Our week has been crazy, the house fell apart, and I have been SO exhausted.

My last 7 days? Last Thursday: Wedding rehearsal, dinner, wedding prep. Friday: Wedding prep, reception decorating. Nephew's graduation. Saturday: Wedding. Sunday: Nephew's graduation party. Monday: Joe's birthday. Tuesday: Visit to my sister's, Dinner with his mom, sister, grandparents. Yesterday: GNI with a gf. Today: Playdate, dinner with Joe's dad and stepmom. Oh, and tomorrow I need to go back up to my sister's to help my niece pack up the wedding gifts.

I've been sleeping like a rock when my head hits the pillow. My nephew's baby is due in 2 weeks, so I'm hoping she makes it through the weekend without going into labor because I need a bit of a breather, lmao.

Hello!

I just got the kids from camp. I stopped at Popeye's on the way to get them so they're happy.

I also got them some candy bars when I was trying to get a good deal at Walgreen's. They don't know about the candy yet.

I went to Kroger this morning to get snacks for Music Camp which is next week. Why do I always get roped into doing stuff like that? Now instead of enjoying my long days with Henry at Music Camp, I get to go there every day mid-morning to distribute snacks.

I was thinking that I'd have to buy the snacks and get reimbursed but the church has a Kroger credit card, and they let me use that.

She called me back

I almost chickened out but it's done.

As expected she was pretty much a total douche but at least now I'm not hiding it anymore.

LL, she'll come around but I'm sorry that it wasn't good initially. I am super thrilled for you and Joe and can't wait to see you through this pregnancy!!!

Sonya · Guru

Good morning!

LL, I'm sorry your mom wasn't excited for you but you know she'll come around.

At least we're thrilled for you!

I've been sticking with my exercise and WW and I was down 3 lbs this morning.

Horray!

It's hotdog day for charity here today and I'm sure I'll eat that 3 lbs back.

lol.

Hot dogs for charity?!?! sign me up LOL

I know eventually my mom will come around but she said some things that were kind of shocking and hurtful. (like I got rid of Travis to replace him with a new baby. are you effing kidding me?!?!?!?!?!?!) And when I kept on about being an adult and being able to take are of myself she actually said that if I am such an adult then I should know there are other options besides having the baby. I told her to shut up. I actually think Joey's old school catholic mother is going to be better with this then mine was LOL

:hugs: I am sorry it went roughly. My guess is that she is actually just really worried about you and wants everything to be okay. It's amazing how much words can hurt, and I hope it is the last of them from your mom.

LL, I'm sorry your mom was hurtful, but I'm glad you'll realize that she IS going to come around. You're right, at least it's over with, and you don't have to carry the stress of hiding it to her, and that's what's important. I'm not downplaying what she said, because all that was straight for the jugular style fighting (which I'm a pro at, btw) and it's not (at ALL) okay. But, she'll come around in her own time, and that baby is going to be lucky to be surrounded in all the love in your families.

LL Im glad you finally were able to tell her but sorry about her reaction.

DH surprised me yesterday that he had yesterday and today off. We would have gone on a trip but K is still sick and Raym has his 6 month eval with early intervention this morning.

I hate these meetings. They say to make goals and I have no clue what they mean. They just end up suggesting things and I say yeah ok that.

Tracy, for the goals, think of it this way. What are some things you would like to see Raym doing? You can bring up potty trainning as a goal. If you want him to dress himself, that can be a goal. Granted, you want to make his goals things that will help his development, but self care skills are a good start and will help you out too. Let me know if you want to bounce some ideas off me. smile

Tracy I had the hardest time with that with Lucas also. Infact I still do because part of his IEP's for school is creating new goals.

Basically think about a skill or milestone he hasn't mastered. Does he eat with utensils?? Can he put on his clothes? (I cant think of how old he is or if he should even be able to do this yet). How is his speech is there a specific phrase or concept you want him to understand??

I found it was hard to name goals because I was never sure how much he was capable of but if he doesn't reach the goal in the amount then you rewrite and keep working on it.

(((hugs)))

Definitely self care goals!!!! Lucas still has self care goals on his IEP for kindergarten.

I guess I dont get why writing down he will be able to dress himself on a piece of paper is going to help him dress himself.

He does eat with a fork and spoon but only one item each he only eats about 10 foods anyway.

My next real goal and only one I have right now is potty training. I hope that goes well.

Thanks for the support girls. I am dying to talk to my sister to see what kind of smack my mom talked after we hung up.
