Is key. I’m starting a new family in Sept and I need all my energy. They have 3 kids ages 4 and under and my days are going to be challenging because not one of them is on a nap schedule. Not even the infant.

Ugh, hope you feel better soon. And wow, that sounds challenging with the nanny situation. Maybe you can get them on a nap schedule? At least the two youngest. (If one is 4, probably hopeless.) Or a "rest" schedule at least for the middle one.

I’m going to try a rest schedule for the 2 oldest and a nap schedule for the infant. The 2 oldest will be in a program for 2.5 hours 2-3 times a week but at different times-so the oldest will go to the program 2-3 afternoons a week and the middle one will go 2-3 mornings a week for 2.5 hours each. (I don’t know why it was set up that way). But since the toddler will be going to the program in the AM-then I’m going to make it mandatory for her that she rests when she gets home for at least 1 hour. That rest time can include sitting on her bed quietly looking at a book-but she must rest for 1 hour. Not sure what to do with the oldest yet. I will lay the baby in his pack and play at the same time everyday so that he starts to know that will be his nap time.

Geez, Jersey, that sounds like a household that's been pretty chaotic to walk into. Were they not napping the infant in the hopes of sleeping through the night? Good luck--I'll bet the kids will be a lot calmer once you get them trained!

So I'm doing this extra credit exercise for my medical roots class in which students get an English term for a medical condition and must turn it into a medical term using Latin or Greek roots.

Yesterday's term was earache. For some reason 70% of them decided "earache" was already Latin or Greek and spent their time defining "ear" and "ache" and then redefining "earache" as "pain in the ear." 30% managed to produce otalgia.

This isn't the first time we've done this. Read the directions. Use common sense. Sheesh.

I seriously fear for the future of medical care in America. More than I already did.

Are you calling me a pain in the ***?

Right there in the post: otalgia. You could also use otodynia.

Definitely beautyful.

The infant sleeps through the night now. All 3 kids were in daycare so I’m not sure what has been going on but I plan to fix it all when I get there.

Reality TV is calling you. "Nanny Jersey," I can see it now.

It doesn’t sound like a hard assignment.

The families get more interesting each time I get a new one. Years ago they had a silly show on called Beverly Hills Nannies. They were like accessories for the parents.

chihirochild · Aug 11, 2019 at 08:37 PM

Ugh, still no patients in the ICU! This has to be some kind of record.

Anyone have any good Netflix recommendations?

Occasionally Auntie Unaluna will guest star and make the kids some "homemade" lima bean succotash.

I want to see the episode where they visit auntie stopdog.

atisketatasket · Aug 11, 2019 at 09:38 PM

Auntie stopdog will let them run around with dangerous tools pointed in the wrong directions and teach them how to smoke meat.

Popping in, just got back from another family camping trip. It rained.

Things are moving both VERY FAST and agonizingly slow. I am switching grad school programs. I have two weeks to figure out how I am going to pay for it until I can pay for it. On the docket this week: Grad program interview by phone, therapy, my kid's play rehearsals start, mediation round 2, custody mediation, and a meeting with the kids' dad and his therapist.

I don't need pocket riders, exactly, just maybe a couple Couchies could pretend to be me for one or more of these things while I go back to the campground and sit by the creek?

I have applied for an advanced certificate in fine arts at my local vocational college. I don't know why there will be deadlines and syllabuses. Argh. Just trying to get social with something interesting

Hi couchies! Been working on this project off and on all day and finally finished the first one. Turning the slipper into a boot was more complicated than I expected but I figured it out!
