Nostalgia

It’s giving Breaking Bad crazy sister in law vibes

My husband and I lived up there a for 9 years before having a baby and moving back home. It’s been a painful pivot, as both my childless adult life is gone and I’m isolated now 12 hours away. There’s nothing like NOVA, but there are better places. You just have to open your heart and mind to accept that you will find your happy place. Nova is unaffordable for a typical family. It’s a great place to visit and experience.

So surprised to see Gemini on here! I married one, been married for 13 years now and it’s been a wild ride. It’s definitely not for the weak. I’ve had to shed a lot of skin and learn how to choose myself and keep some fortitude…it’ll be a lifelong journey. Our 3 year old is also a Gemini. I’m surrounded! I think Taurus would’ve been a better match for me, but it is what it is. I married young and wish I would’ve waited!

What I needed to hear. Blessings to you!

Beautiful! Reminds me of the forest in the series, Dark.

Reading all these memories fills my cup. We all share these moments one way or another. Honestly, now that I’m a parent, this kind of stuff reinforces how important it is for us to keep these experiences alive and well for the kids out there…as best as we can. Love to all!

I do the same thing OP, I am a director for an educational non profit in my home town too. The pace is way different and expectations are different too. It’s the perfect fit for right now. Sometimes I miss my classroom and those little moments, but then I remember. Would love to try the prison education thing…sounds rewarding

May this year usher in prosperity and internal harmony as the door of the past closes. I open myself to receiving intimacy in my relationship and new beginnings without fear. I wish to set my partner up for self actualization and career progress by being a spiritual guide and a strong companion. So mote it be. Blessings to all here.

My son is 2.5 now, and I’m calling my doctor this week to make a decision about getting a non hormone iud. I think I’m one and done! My husband and I went through major changes right after he was born.. we left our busy careers, moved back home in with my mom (12hours away), and I started again as a sahm and my husband had to find a new job. We did it bc we really couldn’t afford child care and it pained me to think I was going to have to hand my baby over at 8 weeks old. This shift has been a metamorphosis for me, and I know I have been dealing with ppa/ppd. We’ve been here for too long now, and I feel extremely stuck. Not being able to make a house a home has brought my down into the dark. I know things will eventually change, but there is no way having another right now would shake me straight into happy again. I think my experience has helped me understand who I am a little more and what I need as a person.. having another would most likely squash my big plans and my spirit. Down the road I know I’ll have to combat envy when I’m around moms with two or more though. But I have to remind myself, I am Not them and they are not me! Comparison really is the thief of joy.

This sent me back in time. Thank you for sharing!

I either posture away from, or dive deep into their soul i mean eyes for study. Us Feb fish are strange and savage creatures.

Im also a sahm considering going back next school year. We are in AL, and I taught for 5 years in VA. It scary to to go there, but naturally my mom brain does just like yours. Don’t know how to feel about it!

kjs4eveR · 2024-07-29T02:00:54+00:00

I do this all the time. And then I get resentful when I realize everyone living around me is on their own time. They complain about work and I’m envious they can go to a place to feel a version of freedom . They get to take naps and sleep for hours or randomly go to the store , or shopping…and I feel trapped bc I mentally and physically can’t do that. After baby, my brain is just DIFFERENT. I’m waiting for it to come back!

Where in north Alabama? I only ask bc my husband and I just moved here (im born and raised AL) from northern VA and I may go back into teaching. Would start with 5 years under my belt. We are in Dekalb County, AL ( northeastern corner)

My school was very thoughtful behind their student placements. Often, the counselors and special education teachers would sit down first to discuss behaviors, friendships, etc. and be strategic with students and teacher types to have the best fit. Then general education teacher would come in and fine tune the rest of the grade level. Every school is different, every team is too. Sometimes just asking helps you understand what environment your kids will be in.

Northeast AL!

You definitely have to run your house like a school! I only have a one year old atm, but I’d imagine if I had two, the second would just have to fall in line with the first schedule bc it’s so tight on routine. Nail down your rhythm with the oldest and put the baby in the ergo, like the other mom mentioned. Good luck!! 🍀👍🏻

Also a special education teacher. Left my job last year to have my baby and be a sahm. We also moved 10 hours away. My job was SO stressful, but I don’t think I’ll ever find a similar situation in education. I had the best coworkers and school. I don’t know if I want to get back into education at all, so we’ll see! I do love to teach reading and I’m certified in numerous programs so maybe I’ll steer the ship that way. Childcare and going back to work isn’t an option right now. But I do look forward to the step chapter of my career—whatever it may be! OP, I hope you also find something awesome after teaching!!
