OT: Don’t Judge Me But...

[MsLaura529]

Don't judge me, but ...

I have taken DCB's temp about 4 times this morning, as I'm nearly certain that he is sick and was given Tylenol this morning just to hide it

[melilley]

I am counting down the minutes until all of my dck's leave! I want to leave for the weekend too!

Don't judge me but....
I still have and use the naughty/nice app! It scans the child's finger and tells them if they are naughty or nice... And I know the secret to making it say what I want it to! I also let Henry, our elf on the shelf, make a surprise appearance during a particularly difficult day!

Don't judge me but I grabbed the first milk I saw, thinking it was 1% or skim, and found out today ... from the food program lady ... that is was NOT 1% or skim. It was 2%. Gaaaah. My aching, pregnant lady feet make my trips to the store SO brief that I don't even read things. Lesson learned. She just laughed and said to give them something else to eat for snack instead of using milk as one of the components. Gracias, food lady. You are very gracious.

Who can drink that stuff really? Gak, all my dck, dd, ds, and dh will gag and sputter if i give them 1% .

So..........dont judge me but....I buy one gallon of 1% milk, pour it out, scrub the date off the jug and then pour 2% milk in the jug. Last time the food lady was here, one of my children had thrown the jug out so I brought all the cups to the fridge (its one with the double top doors) lined the cups up along the bottom and filled them and stuck the milk back in the fridge without her ever checking.....

I have 3 siblings 2 who are school age and 1 who is an infant, i gave them my price for summer care and they have been trying to negotiate me down to $250/wk........NO.....I love these girls but now I secretly cannot wait until school, is out so they will be gone.

I always have a favorite, and least favorite

I have nick names for the children that i only use between myself and husband. (big head, alein, etc.)

I file an extention for taxes EVERY year

My husband calls me 20 times a day and i cringe when the phone rings, bc it is always to ask me something to do for him or just sit and talk about nothing while i am super busy.....err

Don't judge me but I just ate a gazillion pretzels with beer cheese dip. So much for my diet... But it was sooooo good!

BTW, we made the switch to 1% milk several years ago and I can't drink 2% now. We did it gradually: 1 part 1% to 3 parts 2% for a week, then half and half for a week, then 3 parts 1% to 1 part 2% for a week, then all 1%.

Oh another one - don't judge me but last week I cleaned out 4 cabinets instead of writing lesson plans, and tonight I've spent the whole night on FB and here instead of writing lesson plans.

Don't judge me but I have had a throbbing headache all day so I have let the kids watch Disney Junior most of the morning and do not even feel bad about it!

Don't judge me but I get super mad when parents blame every single scratch and bruise on me like I am not supervising! Especially when their kids often come here on Mondays all beat up from the weekend.

I am mentally sticking my tongue out at them the whole time they are complaining.

I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! My Monday health checks are extensive. LOL

I don't always take the kids outside on nice days because quite frankly, it's a lot of work getting everyone ready and there's some days where I just don't feel like it.

:: I am the opposite. The children play so much better outside, for whatever reason, so I'll take them outside every.single.day twice a day unless it's pouring rain. If it's sprinkling with no thunder or lightning, all 8 are still going out baby.
Don't judge me but I will sometimes "not hear" the alarm set on my phone to go back in and we'll extend our outside time by 20 or so minutes. Sometimes this delays other activities.

Make a bruise log and have the parents document everything, too. Just sayin'...

I have thought about that ::

I used to feel the same way until I read this blog post from Teacher Tom. Now I celebrate children's scratches and scrapes with them and tell the parents that I'd rather have the children take small risks and learn from little owies now, instead of taking big risks and getting bigger owies when they're older. So far they've all agreed.

............I drove through McD's today and let the kids eat chicken nuggets and fries in the car. They did have apples and milk to go with it.

Don't judge me but..

The other week my husband surprised me with Smashburger for lunch on his day off, during "quiet/nap time"

Don't judge me but I just ate a gazillion pretzels with beer cheese dip. So much for my diet... But it was sooooo good!

That sounds so good..I love me a good pretzel!

Me too! My kids are angelic outdoors (no walls to bounce off of!) so we are outside for atleast 4 of the 10 hours they are here! Rain, too as long as there is no thunder or lightning!
