Thank you, I’m stealing this idea.

You were absolutely right. I teach 4-6th who still have a hard time accepting ‘no’ as ‘no’. They pull all the same stuff, moping, doe eyes, ‘second’ chance because it’s been reinforced somewhere. You don’t need to be crazy strict, but let them know your boundaries and stick to them. Even though they push against them,…

Fellow Humanities degree earner. I rarely meet people who know what ‘humanities’ means.

My husband and I are slowly learning this. How you can commit to an activity that you may not have chosen on your own to make your partner happy. You can’t expect your spouse to be a clone of yourself, but no one likes a partner that sulks around when you ask them to join you.

That’s an awesome story and great advice!

I teach 4-6 grades so basically 9 - 12 year olds. While they’re curious, I doubt they’ve connected the dots abut ‘kissy-kissy’ time. Unless the family started the conversation. I think a ‘privacy’ discussion would be more appropriate.

Did they just assume she was a lay-person super interested in helping out? Is that really the time to be investigating paper work? Why would she volunteer her assistance if she had no medical training?

This needs to be a thing. It needs someone to oversee it because I can imagine some very bad people would use it to their advantage.

This is not a primary resource, but it does give great examples of flawed textbooks.

I’d like to jump in. I'm a little nervous, but I need to branch out and make friends. I've lived in the valley for 10 years.

Wow this is me for sure. I feel bad cutting people out of my life, but we didn't have much in common except proximity and now we don't even have that. I feel like I've moved on and she is still expecting me from 10 years ago.

I love that they allowed Kimmy to grow up and to become a mother without losing her cheeky attitude. They could have easily turned her in to Steph’s character, an idiot with no kid experience. The writers showed that she’s not just DJ’s wacky side kick anymore. They gave her some depth.

I am hate-watching. I like the self referencing, but everything else is boring. DJ is a little too ‘Mary Sue’. Girl Meets World works much better.

Hi- I would love to be your babysitter. Seriously. I am a credentialed teacher, with experience and trained in CPR. I only charge $10. Sometimes I get extra for holidays or multiple families. I would never considered being tipped, but for the families I’m particularly close with it would be nice to be recognized…

My husband actually insisted that I pick out my ring. We didn’t have a traditional proposal either though. We had been living together for a few years and living as though we were married so we decided to get married.

I’m starting to realize my body is not as resilient as it was when I was younger. I basically need a lifestyle make over.

How is your anxiety? My Dr. told me that if it was trouble falling asleep then it was anxiety. If you wake up frequently then it was more depression based.

Showers are great because you get sleepier as your body cools.

I feel you. I taught preschool in Colorado. Keeping little boot, jackets and mittens etc. together was like a level of Hell.

Therapy and medication were my big guns. My parents were a great support too. I sometimes called my parents three times a day at my lowest. On the lesser side start by connecting with your inner child. Read books you used to love, take bubble baths, eat comfort food and self-care. Be tender with yourself.
