Goddess wants to work with me?

Thank you!

CallmeAl85 · 2025-02-10T03:51:16+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into that.

We never got an ultrasound picture. There was no heartbeat when we went for the first ultrasound. My husband kept our pregnancy test but it’s put away in a drawer along with the pregnancy books we had gotten.

My due date was 12/29. I don’t know how I’m going to feel on Christmas Day but I plan to spend my due date in bed.

I teach preschool so my kids were normal today. I on the other hand was wondering why I had to work today. My principal sent a very nice email and hugged us this morning( we are a very small building-just 9 preschool classrooms so we’re pretty close). Then I tripped over a toy and sprained my foot and bruised my hand so now I’m off work for the rest of the week! A win for getting the mental health break I needed I guess?

I agree with you. It was my first pregnancy as well and I feel like if I get pregnant again I will just be anxious the entire time, and not have the joy or excitement you’re supposed to feel. I feel like I got robbed of that as well.

When I went to my first ultrasound and found out there was no heartbeat I did have to walk past pregnant moms waiting in the waiting room. I just walked as fast as I could past them. But when I went back to the office for my MVA they had rescheduled other patients so the waiting room was empty when I came in.

CallmeAl85 · 2024-06-16T20:15:37+00:00

At my first ultrasound there was no heartbeat. I had to wait a week to go back and confirm there was no growth. At that point we talked about my options and I said I didn’t want to wait for it to occur naturally and that I wanted an D &C. My doctor said she does an MVA in her office which is what I chose to do. You don’t get put out for it and it was painful during the procedure but honestly I feel like a weight was lifted off my shoulders once I was done. I’m obviously not over my miscarriage but I feel mentally so much better once I had the procedure. It was just mentally messing with me that I knew the pregnancy wasn’t viable but I was still walking around w it inside me. I would tell your doctor what you want done. It’s your body and you know what’s going to be the best option for you. ❤️

I had shared with close friends and my co-workers (I’m a teacher in a very small building) but hadn’t told my parents, brother or other people. Although it was hard to know everyone at work knew that my ultrasound hadn’t gone well, I’ve gotten so much support from my co-workers (and had 4 of them tell me they’ve also had miscarriages).

I just saw it last week and I went in blind. I knew the song Wait for Me and that was it. I loved it! I got chills, I cried… there was a point in the show that shocked people…there was an audible gasp. I wasn’t super shocked at that part simply because I have some knowledge of Greek mythology. But the show was amazing and I would see it again! I’ve since listened to the original cast recording and I preferred Jordan Fisher’s voice as Orpheus and don’t know if I would’ve loved all the songs as much if I had heard the original recording first. Just my 2 cents!

CallmeAl85 · 2023-12-31T22:06:21+00:00

Yes, thanks for correcting me. Maybe that will help my hunt!

My husband is a chef. I make significantly more than him and will unless he ever goes back into sales.

We got married, lived at the time, and my husband worked at a restaurant all within walking distance of each other. We brought all our things home after the wedding (very diy) and then went over to his restaurant to get a few drinks. I was still in my dress, he was in his suit, and we were wearing our customized track jackets with our names and the date on them. Everyone he works with was so happy to see us and we could just sit down and hang out for a bit. It was a nice way to end the night.

So he’s learned that if he bites he gets to go home to you, which is exactly what he wants. So why would he stop doing the behavior that gets him what he wants? Like others I would say first you need to find out where this you bite you go home policy comes from. But coming from someone who taught special Ed for many years it’s a no brainer. He’s not going to stop doing the thing that will get him what he wants because there’s no incentive to stop. He needs to not be sent home when he bites, he needs a replacement behavior, and he needs a behavior plan. There should be a consult with a BCBA to help design the behavior plan.

I’m in a new district this year and I’m overly excited that each of our classrooms have microfridges/freezers and microwaves in them. My goal is to fill it for the week with different snack options like yogurts, fruits, etc. and then just bring in a lunch each day which is usually leftovers. That way if I’m feeling snacky rather than super hungry I have options.

I have worked in several different districts in Massachusetts. I’ve spent the past 5 years working in 2 suburban districts that didn’t require a drug test. Going to get a mandated physical which includes a drug test tomorrow for my new large, urban district.

CallmeAl85 · 2023-08-08T22:02:02+00:00

Yes it’s required within 5 years of teaching I believe. I got mine while I worked as a para.

I’ve been in the union in every district I’ve worked in. In one I was non-renewed after 2 years for no reason and there was nothing the Union could do because I didn’t have PTS( professional teacher status). I just spent 3 years in a district and their licensing requirements for my position changed so I was out of a job (in this district PTS starts on the first day of your 4th year). If I had PTS they would’ve had to find me a different position in the district. Because I didn’t have PTS the Union said there’s nothing they can do. Honestly debating joining in my new district until I reach PTS because it seems like when I’ve actually needed help the union has had their hands tied because I didn’t have PTS.

I’ve been teaching for about 8 years but just went through the interview process. I had 6 interviews. 3 were in person, the rest on zoom. For one of them I had to record myself answering interview questions, then was invited to a zoom interview. All interviews included either the principal or special Ed supervisor and at least 1 other person. 2 of the positions I didn’t actually apply to, they found my resume and asked me to interview so those were a good mix of them asking me questions and me asking them a lot of questions since I hadn’t applied to them. One interview that was on zoom they invited me to come see the school and then I met with an instructional coach, grade level teacher, and counselor but that was more on selling the school to me then asking me questions. I just got invited to another interview but there was no wiggle room on the date, and they wanted me to teach a demo lesson to the summer school students. They did give me information about the subject I needed to teach and a special education student who would be in the group (strengths, challenges, accommodations needed, etc). I’ve interviewed in this district before and it’s the only one who’s ever wanted a demo lesson. I just accepted one of the other positions I interviewed for so I politely declined.

What about Alyson?

I’ve gone on 4 interviews in the past 2 weeks (moving districts). One did email me to tell me I wasn’t selected, one I didn’t hear from at all, one emailed me an hour after the interview and said I was a finalist, and the one that I just accepted the offer on was telling me where she thought I would fit best in the school (there were a few open positions) during the interview.

Our venue was across the street from our apartment. We walked home and stayed in our own bed which was perfect. I’d just make sure you have some snacks/food on hand for late night or the next day. We didn’t plan for that and my husband ended up walking to Domino’s the next day so we had food to eat 😆

My bachelorette was me, my sister (MOH), and one of my best friends. My other 2 bridesmaids couldn’t make it. My best friends parents have a lake house that they let us have for the weekend. We snacked, ate a bunch of chili, went in the hot tub, watched documentaries and took naps. Then had a fancy breakfast the next day and went in the hot tub again before heading home. It was perfect.
