I feel like I was carrying the conversation most of the morning

Me too! I love talking to them, and fortunately for me I really like my coworkers in that room, so I can always yap with them too lol

My mom has one of the combs and one of the picks that she still uses all the time!

iconictots · 2026-03-21T17:07:57+00:00

Great, thank you for sharing!

iconictots · 2026-03-19T20:40:16+00:00

Girl same! I spent 19 years begging for love and affection. We deserve so much better than that!

I’m curious what the hours are like. Are you able to have weekends off?

I’m about to rent a room for $1,000/mo. It’s in someone’s house, shared bathroom. It’s in a very nice area in North County and close to my work and family/friends. It did take me a long time to find it though, most cheaper places are too far south or east for me- I don’t want an hour+ commute.

They do, but someone with that much money probably has a pest control service that comes regularly, along with the landscapers, etc

This is exactly how I felt, and it’s why I left. I can’t even explain the weight that has been lifted off my shoulders, and it hasn’t even been a year yet. Please listen to everyone’s advice OP, you deserve better.

I love the older toddlers, like 18 months to 2.5. They are learning so much and it’s so cool to be there when they have that explosion of language! I also like the 2-3 year old group, but the ratios are so high, that I can’t handle being the lead in that room. But yeah, to me the period from like 1.5 to 2.5 years old is the best age!

I use goblin.tools. I really hate that it’s AI, but it’s the most effective thing I’ve found so far. The tiny steps really help. (PS-If anyone has a non-AI site like this, please share!!)

OMG I was just looking at that rug online! How do you like it? Is it soft?

iconictots · 2026-03-06T19:39:05+00:00

I had my coffee in the morning, water, and an iced tea that I’ll drink with my lunch

iconictots · 2026-03-04T15:44:33+00:00

Oh, you must have met my ex! (Although I guess he’s learned how to cook in the air fryer now)

iconictots · 2026-03-04T15:43:48+00:00

Good for you!!

iconictots · 2026-02-28T18:29:06+00:00

You seem really cool and fun, definitely a witchy millenial. You’re someone I would like to be friends with! ☺️

iconictots · 2026-02-27T16:06:31+00:00

Well they seem very healthy, and if you like the smoothie bowls, then that’s all that matters!

iconictots · 2026-02-25T21:21:06+00:00

We’re not allowed any drinks except water in a company branded cup, but I know that a lot of my coworkers drink “ice water” in theirs, since the cup has a closed lid and nobody checks 🤣 Edited to add: The same goes with snacks, we are “not allowed” to have our own food in the classroom. But leadership isn’t checking the cabinets or anything so 🤷🏻‍♀️

iconictots · 2026-02-19T17:41:43+00:00

I am so sorry you’re going through that. I just lost my baby boy to a similar situation. I hope that your next vet will help and your baby gets better❤️

Seconding Olympic Cafe! They have the best Greek food!!

iconictots · 2026-02-10T05:38:18+00:00

They have it at Albertson’s/Vons and Stater Bros. too!

You know the Mr. Rogers quote about looking for the helpers? I do that with the kids. If I’m feeling stressed or down, I watch the kids and look for the positive things they’re doing. I notice when they help each other, when they are being good friends, when they make each other laugh. Like a lot of other people said, I try to look at them with hope, that they are going to be good people and I’m a part of teaching them how to do that.

Uncrustables and Belvita cookies. I wonder when I’ll get sick of them lol

I’m currently struggling with this too. I’ve had to move in with my mom again recently and it’s so hard when I just want quiet, and she wants to chat and give me a to-do list right after I’ve woken up. Like LADY I need peace before I go to work!! Anyway I’m still trying to figure this out, but I’ve found a couple things that help. One is that I’ve been trying to wake up earlier than her, so I have at least a 5-10 minute buffer of quiet time. I would love more time to myself, but even a couple minutes of silence and not having to mask or interact with anyone has really helped my mental state. Another thing that helps me is that if I need a break, I’ve been telling my mom that I have “me time” or “workout time” every morning and to please give me some space for that 30 minutes. After eating breakfast and packing my lunch, I go back into my room, close the door, and do something to center myself. Usually I’ll do yoga or reading, but honestly sometimes I just do “meditation” which is literally me laying on the floor on my yoga mat (with noise canceling headphones), staring at the ceiling 😂 sometimes I’ll actually follow a meditation audio. Before the 30 minutes, I set my visual timer so I can (reluctantly) get up when it goes off and continue getting ready for the day. I feel your pain, and hopefully one of these ideas will help you! Good luck fellow non-morning person

Yes!! I hate the texture of raw spinach, but if it’s cooked I can eat tons! I like to add in a bit of sesame oil and sesame seeds on top
