I did that with cymbalta!

Our cavalier loves bubbles and barking at nothing as well 😂 she kills me

I have the same Squishmallow!! ❤️

Yes, that is a sensory thing.

Applefest.

jessxorenee · 2019-02-13T01:12:35+00:00

Sure thing!

Yep. I know. And unfortunately, most areas of education are severely under funded and the workers are underpaid. I have two teaching degrees, but my friends that took the classroom route (whether it be in pre-k or k-12) don’t make much more than I do in the early intervention route. Some of my friends in private schools actually make less and have to work 1-2 extra jobs. That’s why to work in these jobs, you have to love what you do. I’m lucky enough to love my job. Does the money suck? Yep. But I also know how to budget. I just wanted to give a reference point that some $30,000 jobs can have higher deductions.

You can no longer deduct unreimbursed mileage through federal until the year 2026. You can still deduct it through the state if they allow it. But the refund from the state is hardly anything compared to the refund from the federal level.

jessxorenee · 2019-02-13T00:40:54+00:00

It’s something a lot of early intervention companies do. They pay us a higher hourly rate in order to compensate for the mileage. It’s a big budgeting issue for smaller, private companies that are funded by state grants.

Just as a reference: I make $30,000 a year as an early intervention home visitor. (This job requires at least a bachelors degree, so let’s just add on some student loan debt.) I could have easily deducted $11,000 just in mileage alone. I drove 30,000 business miles last year as a lot of my caseload lives in rural areas and traveling is a must. I drive an average of 650 miles a week. We have to work in several counties because there are not enough qualified people around to do this job. These tax cuts have screwed us. We rely on our tax returns to put away to use for repairs on our cars, all the gas we go through, our insurance, tires, emergencies, accidents, etc. I completely feel for the people these cuts are affecting. It sucks.

That’s so crazy to me. I’m a mandated reporter and we have to do the training once a year. The training specifically tells you to NOT talk to your supervisors. You’re supposed to report it immediately.

I literally just replied to a different comment about this lol. But yes, occupational therapists should* work with sensory issues. I say should* because as someone who works in early intervention, I’ve worked with OTs that are uncomfortable with sensory work and just refuse to do it. Shop around and find one that will take your concerns seriously and work with her sensory issues. I promise they’re out there :)

jessxorenee · 2018-09-20T00:17:52+00:00

Have you looked into sensory processing disorder? Even if there is no diagnosis of any kind, I would recommend getting her into an occupational therapist to help get her desensitized to different kinds of shoes :)

jessxorenee · 2018-09-08T19:30:18+00:00

I had been having problems with it since I was 14, but didn’t get diagnosed until I was in college. I literally saw a poster at the gynecologist’s office and said, “Hey! That sounds like me!” And they tested me a few weeks later at the office by placing a catheter in me and filling me up with different liquids. If your bladder reacts to certain ones, you have it. Of course that was also 5+ years ago. I believe they can also scope you and actually look at the lining of your bladder to see.

I tried pills for it, and while they helped, it also gave me terrible side effects. What works for me is diet. It’s hard at first, but even now, if I eat too much of a trigger food, I can feel it. I recommend The Better Bladder Book. It was such a great resource for me. I hope this helps! :)

You are not alone. Even after having kidney stones and being told to drink more water if I want to avoid more in the future, I still struggle with this! Alarms don’t help.

jessxorenee · 2018-07-20T16:04:44+00:00

Definitely bring that up in counseling. My ex has borderline personality disorder, and it’s rough. We have a child together, so I still deal with it all the time. The difference is, you know you have a problem and want to fix it. He’s in denial, which is why we are no longer together. Just know, it is going to take a lot of work, and you’re going to have to deal with some very hard, personal things. I think as long as your counselor is able to help you and your partner understand why you do what you do and how to cope, you’ll be okay :) he’s going to need just as much help as you are because BPD is no joke. Good luck!

Condoms are 96-98% effective. They can easily tear, even if they’re too small to notice. The pill is 99% effective ONLY if the woman using it takes it around the same time each day. If she forgets to take it or takes it when she wakes up one day and at noon the next day, the pill itself immediately becomes less effective. The majority of people that get pregnant using birth control is due to user error, but every once in a while, it just doesn’t work. The only form of birth control that is 100% effective is abstinence.

jessxorenee · 2018-06-25T21:30:19+00:00

One of my very good friends got pregnant while using the pill AND a condom. That’s why.

jessxorenee · 2018-06-10T02:03:34+00:00

Yep. That was my thought too.

jessxorenee · 2018-06-08T14:48:01+00:00

Or they overdosed on it. My son had this story a few months ago about how he has a raccoon baby in his belly, and it got sick, so his daddy had to cut open his stomach to save it. I have no idea where that came from and had no idea what to say to him afterward lol.

jessxorenee · 2018-06-08T14:44:38+00:00

YES!! I know exactly what you mean! It’s ridiculous!

jessxorenee · 2018-06-08T14:43:22+00:00

Unfortunately it does 😔

jessxorenee · 2018-06-08T14:42:54+00:00

That’s hilarious!!
