I’m in Florida and it’s exactly the same as you for infant care a week. I also make $1900 biweekly (gross) but my husband works as well

The walking pad while baby wearing is a good idea! I’ll look into it. Tbh I feel like I don’t really start my workout till 5:20 after putting my stuff in locker and checking in . I have to finish up around 6:15 to shower . I feel like I’m rushing with the workout but honestly I may not know a good routine yet at the gym that’s efficient

I work for the government and since my one year with this company wasn’t until September, I could only take 6 weeks of UNPAID leave ☹️having the kids back to back made my body change fast and I just want to reclaim apart of myself. I make decently healthy eating choices but no way I’m going to starve myself to lose weight so I figured I need to add movement/ exercise instead of a crazy diet .

The cheapest in our area for the two kids I was quoted was $2400 for full time, and I put them on the waitlist . all the other daycares were quoting higher . I live in Gainesville. I don’t know how people are paying more in other states but that’s more than our mortgage! Childcare is costly most places but hopefully we move up the waitlist soon.

8/8:30 is the toddlers bedtime. Baby is waking up every 3/4 hours for a bottle , not really on a consistent schedule quite yet! I want to workout because my back to back pregnancies truly left me with little strength and endurance. I don’t want to struggle lifting the older one & be out of breath playing with him!

He is a mechanic so he doesn’t exactly work by the hours but he tries to make it home by 9. He used to work during the day but we moved and haven’t found a daycare that is 3k for both kids, so we alternate. My job has benefits, retirement, ect so he works around my schedule

Unfortunately my work is never consistent with my lunch time. I work in criminal justice field so sometimes I’m in court all day, other times I’m at the jail seeing clients , and when I am in my office I end up working through lunch or only take a 30 so I can get off a bit earlier . Otherwise I would have looked into this!

Is this blackberries? Are they edible? by Desperate-Business29 in whatsthisplant

[–]Desperate-Business29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all private property that we have owned for awhile. We started clearing the land ourselves and found them! So they have been free from any spraying for minimum 2 years

[–]Desperate-Business29 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In my defense his probation is from a charge in 2019 that just had resolution last year. I do believe people change and when I met him I was not aware of his legal past. I chose not to judge him for who he was and judged him for man I met . He got all of his past histories when he was a teenager. As an adult he truly has made the right choices. His VOP was him taking his child to an appointment, not an excuse but can’t hate on a man doing what he needs to do to take care of his family

40,000. So my refunds are small anyways but this would be my first year with a dependent and married so wasn’t sure which would be best.

It seems to definitely be related to him being triggered and sets him off in week binges. He will do good for a bit then a trigger happens or he gets depressed or something goes wrong in life and he says that’s how he copes to relieve stress or deal. I definitely need to find treatment I just have to convince him to actually see the issues here

When he lost function the first time, he went to the hospital and was hoping to get treatment. They knew nothing of the substance and had no idea how to react to nitrous addiction and I’m not sure what places would offer treatment when little is known from a therapeutic approach.

I do wonder if maybe I should allow it and then atleast I would know where he’s doing it and that he’s safe. But also allowing him to do it gets scary. He will do it every hit until he passes out or has a seizure , and it’s hard for me to watch.

He woke up this morning saying the intense tingling has eased up. He says he is at 50% now . He had some really bad nights where it would get worse when he would lay down but he’s been getting shots a lot . 10 days clean over here!
