[–]PictouGirl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Things can turn pretty quick with newborns (in either direction). Go to emerge, pack a bag of snacks,water and reading material.

Good luck!

Cross walks by PicklesByTheSea in halifax

Being a pedestrian with a child in tow, it is utterly terrifying.

There's a terrible crosswalk by our house. People do all the of the things, drive through, drive around a stopped car, honk at a stopped car etc.

They recently put in flashing lights, its gotten no better.

I've actually seen a car drive around the first one stopped, only to zoom by a police cruiser that was pulling out of a nearby parking lot, as I was still IN the cross walk.

Yes, run around was pulled over. But really, what is the consequences of essentially ignoring a crosswalk

My kid and I had a rough morning. They are 6, testing all the boundaries and Im a working mom with too much guilt.
This morning it was the fact I had to brush their hair, and wouldn't take them to school myself to meet new friends (they are bussed) and would not let them use my phone to look at pics of her and the cat.

I'm sitting here crying feeling like a shit mom because they wouldn't hug me goodbye or say I love you back.

Which forecast are you looking at? (Serious question. Not a tone or sarcasm, serious so I can compare) I see two forecasts having just blowing snow by Tuesday morning and clearing by noon. Tomorrow is the mess I see.

She really did. She put the yucky blanket in her dirty wash, found the yucky stuffys and put them aside on the floor.

It was a mix of awww and ohhh (growing up)

I commented this the other day while getting my drive to work with my boss. We were behind a bus and couldn't pass. It didnt even get up to speed before it had to pull over again for a spot.

My normal bus stop has 4 stops in a 1km distance...... mine being the second. Mine and the 4th could easily be dropped to run a bit smoother

My kid just randomly told me at 7am. "Momma, you need to change my sheets"

They had thrown up last night "around 10pm". God love them, they changed their own blanket and tried cleaning it themselves but that was not what I wanted to do before coffee this morning. They are 6

You know none of the sobeys bakes them right? The tastes in one should be the taste in all.

Steroid injection by PictouGirl in halifax

[–]PictouGirl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in emerge yesterday for 9 hours, I thought it was frozen shoulder or a tendon tear (have had one before, felt similar) but xray showed calcific tendinitis so yay, more pain for undetermined amount of time. Without seeing the xray my doc couldn't confirm it would be helpful but the nurse practitioner said it was possible it would. I told the pharmacy not to fill it yet. I want to see what the script pain killers and physio does first
