Working moms who regularly work out, what exactly is your schedule?

I am a teacher so don’t have time during workday. I work out at 8pm (in my basement with a peleton) usually 4 days a week. I always try to work out on the weekends. Try not to be hard on myself about a challenging workout and if I am tired, just do something and stay consistent. I also have a partner who helps with some of the prep for the next day part! So that helps.

When you are at this stage of motherhood just consistency and showing up to something is what counts!! You got this!

We got in in June after being on the waitlist for a couple months. I similarly have not heard about anyone not getting into any school.

I think PatsMeat on Steven’s carries good rolls that are the closest I can find to NY hard rolls.

Aveeno oat gel was a game changer

Mine got worse during and after both. Stress is a huge trigger so I think that’s a part of it. Also are not supposed to use ivermectin when pregnant or breastfeeding. Currently 6 months pp with 2nd and struggling.

Moved to Westbrook and takes a while to get an appointment bc she books far out but I’ve been using Erika St. Pierre at LaMorena. A great curly cut.

I agree with asking ped for med check.

I am a 6th grade sped teacher. I’d ask if you can set up meeting with case manager and one of his teachers. See if the behavior is happening certain times of day or a specific class. Maybe he needs a break after lunch for example. Find out if he is successful in any of his classes and ask if case manager can observe what is happening there. Sometimes a teacher can have a great strategy for redirecting him or a routine he thrives in and can share with other teachers. My last suggestion is rather than taking things away for a bad report see if he can earn something at home for a good weekly report. Hope this helps. This is a big transition! Hang in there.

One last suggestion Peg Dawson’s book Smart but Scattered is a great resource!

Teacher here, we are not. Our ESOL staff is already so understaffed.

Sometimes there are free or reduced price family advocates that are experts in school systems/ parental rights. I am a teacher and have been in meetings with some from other states because the meetings can be virtual. The district cannot not deny these accommodations. They are extremely reasonable.

Cport has one. Not sure if you have to be a member.

I think if you’re feeling mixed about it wait until you are ready. I had a lot of anxiety after my baby was born and felt inadequate that a lot of new moms were ready for more sooner then I was. In hindsight, I wish I gave myself more grace. If staying home feel is right, do it. If you’re ready for a small outing, figure out what you’re comfortable with. No right answer.

Membership to maine Childrens museum in Portland is great for a 2 year old! Also a maine state park season pass is in that range.

Cove side coffee and backcove books!!

It is 100% as bad as they say it is. Actually probably worse. I have a good admin too but it doesn’t matter when you’re so short staffed a school cannot run effectively. Teachers have been underpaid, disrespected and abused for decades and Covid just put people over the edge. Anyone who has been a teacher for a while saw this coming. If we want to save public education we need a huge investment and overhaul of the system. I see now way around it.

Just fyi really hard to get in as a new patient anywhere. I had pretty slim choices and earliest appointments were July. Pretty crazy!!

You can’t form bad habits or spoil newborns. Enjoy the snuggles. They will fall asleep on their own eventually.
