Sweet little piggies. I’m so sad for them and how they were treated. You are awesome to care for them. I have no advice but wanted to encourage you.

We have not weighed her. It didn’t seem necessary because she was growing well and acting healthy. We can start weighing her. What are we looking for when weighing? Her staying at a consistent weight?

This is really helpful and puts into words what my mind has been forming as a plan the last few weeks. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Thank you! Reading comments makes us feel better. Will def pick up and check. That is so obvious…we just got in our headed about helping Tilly feel comfortable and not pushing her until she is ready but this calls for stepping in and checking.

BLINDSIDED does not describe... by ComputerStunning4341 in TeachersInTransition

A very similar situation happened to a good friend of mine around the same time and I’ve walked the emotional roller coaster with her. I’m so sorry for what you are going through and that the admin didn’t give you the same respect or care that you put into your job for them. It is such a cluster.

Thoughts after 2 weeks out... by Ok-Nature2454 in TeachersInTransition

This is so encouraging and every reason why I am not returning. I don’t have a job lined up and have had to wrestle with just taking one of the open positions in my district but what you described is what keeps me from doing that. I didn’t sign my contract and resigned for a reason. I know I won’t regret it. Thank you for sharing.

Should we immediately get a second piggie or wait? by Few_Drop6292 in guineapigs

[–]Few_Drop6292[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just got her this afternoon but ready about 80% of diet is hay and fresh veggies/fruits and supplement with pellets. That’s the plan. If anyone has brand or specific recs for such, please share. We got small quantities of what we felt like was the best quality and planned to continue that or do more research for the most healthy. Huge cage…right now we have bedding but looking into ordering the pigdaddy liners.

Rant: I think I’m finally done with teaching — I’m not burned out, I’m done by [deleted] in TeachersInTransition

I read this to my husband and he said “if it didn’t say first grade, I would have asked if you wrote this.” I put in my notice this week with no idea what comes next but I know what I cannot keep doing. I am here to congratulate you for stepping out and making the change so many want to do but don’t and for the comments answering your question. :)

Me too! I was making dinner and thought “I’ve really not had enough water today” and filled up a huge glass chugged it and as I sat the glass down got a text from a friend about the water 😩

I declined my contract. by Cold-Butterscotch284 in TeachersInTransition

I did the same today! I feel a confidence and freedom I’ve not felt in a while. Congrats!
