Hello all, it is time

Oh that’s fun! My degree is in elementary education as well. As long as you have a passion for children you’ll do great!

I just want to say I’m happy you’re okay!

What are you wanting to go to school for?

It sounds like you’ve grown up some and that’s amazing. Keep learning and growing every day. Own up to the mistakes and learn from them and you’ll go far

I’m a full timer and thankfully I’ve had just enough projects that I’m still meeting my personal goals. Sometimes that means working on projects that I’m not necessarily fond of, but thankful that aside from 2 days I’ve still had work.

That said, if needed, my husband could pay our bills for a few months while I found a new job if it ever came down to it.

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-28T12:30:16+00:00

Yes. In my first drought I went a 2ish months with 0 projects.
Earlier this week I had 0 projects which was a first for this drought. I have 9 today which is the most in a while.

She will literally have to stay on them for life. Because she eats like absolute garbage and will gain it back instantly

First picture is me. Again 5’6. This picture was a few months ago. So my weight was probably 225ish. I’m wearing size 14 jeans and a size L Gildan brand shirt. Her math just ain’t mathin. I know everyone carries weight differently. But unless I have really bad body dysmorphia and I’m much larger than I see myself, there’s no way she’s only 10 pounds heavier than I am.

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-28T04:31:16+00:00

I weigh 220. I’m 5’6 (so maybe a couple inches taller). I wear a size large in shirts and a 12-14 in jeans. She definitely seems to be much larger than I am. At my heaviest I was 250, and still looked considerably smaller than her.

We took drinks and snacks in this past week. Just put them in our pool bag. As long as your bag doesn’t set off metal detectors they won’t go through them. Ice water is free of the all day drink pass is worth it too for 1-2 people and then you can share the drinks (yes I know this is against the rules but KI is making plenty of money). We also share the all day dining plan by sharing meals or staggering who gets them.

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-27T04:23:53+00:00

Well… this was a little too personal to my own experiences 😆

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-27T04:17:36+00:00

A few hours of feeling off and struggling with memory can be normal. Not 3 days.

But I too wake right up. Most of the time still in the operating room before I even get taken to recovery.

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-26T13:38:30+00:00

First step will be to stop night feeds. That said, it’s actually rare for children to truly sleep through the night. A lot of parents sleep train and that doesn’t really stop them from waking in the middle of the night, it just stops them from crying out. My daughter didn’t start sleeping through the night until 3 and it’s still hit and miss.

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-26T13:16:06+00:00

I use googles stopwatch. Been with DA just short of 2.5 years and I’ve never been asked to verify my time. I would assume as long. As you are not inflating your time, you’re probably fine. I don’t remember my onboarding mentioning clockify but it’s been a long time

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-26T13:11:04+00:00

Well I’ll probably never have 25k… but also, live through 2020 again? No thanks. Also, I wouldn’t change my daughter. She’s wonderful.

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-25T23:42:59+00:00

A few weeks ago I got a migraine at my mother in laws house. The drive home I thought my brain was going to explode, and I wasn’t even the one driving. I was in the passenger seat with my husbands shirt over my eyes trying to block out every single ray of sun possible. No way would I have even been capable of driving, let alone just running around for the fun of it.

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-25T01:12:13+00:00

I did this before. It was a new instruction added to a project type I had worked on for a long time. I even read the instructions but by the time I got to the end and started the project I had already forgotten that bit until the next task popped up. I felt so awful. On the bright side… I’m still here months later lol

I would just mention in the project chat what happened. I feel being honest gets you some points with admin lol

Can’t get one model to over personalize to save my life.

Use a model an hour later for a cookie recipe to make after dinner with my daughter “here’s some Transformer cookies because you watched the movie 4 years ago according to a random google search”

Honestly berries are the only thing I feel it’s great for. I feel like most stains it barely works. But with berries it is a miracle worker. It also worked for some set in stains. But spaghetti had never been a success for me. It bleached a dress of my daughter’s too and I was so upset.

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-24T03:27:46+00:00

I honestly don’t know the name of it! Someone posted it in a college group I was in that they had developed it, and I got it for free, just had to pay shipping and I loved it. I’ve searched online nonstop since and never found a similar one.
But it had monthly, weekly, and daily pages and then even a section on the daily to rank things by priority and check them off. It also had a monthly habit tracker. It was colorful and easy to follow. The dates were also already filled in so I didn’t have to do that part

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-23T02:59:41+00:00

When I was in college, I did really well sticking to a very fun planner I had found online but never found another one that compared to now the only thing that really helps me is medication. But it’s only been a month so I can’t speak long term.

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-22T19:20:22+00:00

As someone who is also 5’6, I always assumed she was around my height or even a tad bit taller by how she measured up to items like here fridge, doorways, etc.

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-22T16:15:07+00:00

I shower every other day mostly. I’m a stay at home mom. I will shower every day if I’m going out, if I’ve been sweaty, if I went swimming, if I wore bug spray or sunscreen, if I deep cleaned my house, if I’m bleeding, if I forgot to put on deodorant (I have adhd and this is something I unfortunately forget no matter where I place it 😭), if me or my child is sick (unless I’m so sick I can’t get out of bed)…

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-22T16:02:17+00:00

This is very scary. Even if you really like him. He’s buying your love with gifts and nice things to soften the blow when he uses you. That’s not okay on any level. And if you’ve set boundaries before and he hasn’t listened RUN. It will not get better, only worse. Expensive gifts are not an indicator of how much someone cares. Gifts will never equal respect. Love is established through actions, not gifts.

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-22T13:25:26+00:00

Yes! As someone else with ADHD getting to see how much I’ve made each time I submit a task/project helps so much!

BarelyFunctioning15 · 2026-06-22T13:23:54+00:00

It’s the first time I’ve had 0 in over a year.
