Good morning and I can't believe it's Wednesday. With everybody home Monday my whole schedule is off:hilarious: I'm going walking and having coffee with a friend early today and it's 48 degrees and still dropping:eek::coldfeet::cry: Time to get out my mittens and hat because were going at sunrise. I'm also going for a post lunch walk with somebody else today and I do hope it warms up because I'd much rather go walking in shorts and a tank (not happening today) than enough layers to look like the Michelin tire guy.

I know! I saw that report about a week ago and just shook my head!!! Can you imagine someone sitting right about your head??!! I also wonder if they have weight restrictions for those top level seats?! :eek:

Sympathy like. I think you're under too much stress between the accident and surgery. Can you telecommute today? Please take it easy and get well soon xoxo

That's very good advice. @StarWarsGirl95 , is it possible to telecommute today? I hope you'll feel better soon. I think Figgy may be right in her thoughts that your body is somewhat worn down, from all the recent things you've experienced.

Unless, maybe, the bull is in the house and there's somethin' else he might need to do. ;)

Yep, tons of others definitely not appropriate for here. :oops:

I'm thinking that both having the bull in the house and the choice of using a milk pail are both worthy of a huge amount of psychiatric help.

I had no idea when it was scheduled to be open, so it seemed pretty quick to me. :D

I have a friend who lives over there who is a HUGE HP fan, so I hear about stuff like that pretty quickly. They've been working on it for a while and one of my friends from Australia was planning on going over next year, but now it looks like she won't make it until 2017.

I breastfed my baby any time, anywhere. He was colicky so unless people wanted to hear the screaming, they had to put up with it. And I wasn't going to sit off in a corner by myself all day so I learned to nurse and walk. I did have a smock because I was self-conscious but kudos to those who aren't.

Yeah, after a few times of locking myself away in a cramped, dirty, uncomfortable place where DD wouldn't nurse well anyway, I gave up on that and just nursed wherever we were. It wasn't worth the hassle. If it wasn't place where I could nurse without feeling self-conscious (like a nice restaurant) we didn't go there. And I couldn't use a cover because as soon as I tried, both my kids unlatched...they wouldn't eat if they were covered. Not to mention the fact that I am well endowed and was worried about smothering them if I couldn't see their noses. I'm lucky that the Netherlands is a pretty liberal country...I never had a problem with people shaming me or anything...it's seen as natural here, and I wasn't always the only one nursing in any given public place. I don't know how I would have done it in the states.

I think that is a mature thought. I'm not sure our middle school students 10-13 will all be on that page and likely some high school students. Since we have students in that age group that state they are gay I'm certain transgender is an equal possibility. I have extreme empathy for both sides of the aisle and knowing our district we'll do exactly what the law tells us we are required to do. We have attorney's for that. Unfortunately for this board in this school district they are punting, there are no guidelines to comply to yet. That is difficult. My thoughts and my DD thoughts today went to the female conservative Saudi girls with a host of cultural restriction about being around men without an escort. Sure many of us can understand transgender and 'living' as a female but for some cultures I anticipate a segment of those families balking at the shared locker rooms on religious and cultural grounds. It will all work itself out but likely it isn't going to be a pleasant experience for this particular school board as they unwillingly became the test case. They have my sincere sympathy.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be on that board. They are going to hear about it, no matter what they do. And honestly, I can see both sides from the privacy standpoint, but the really outrageous arguments that guys are going to pretend to be transgender so they can get into girls' locker rooms, are not really valid. No one is going to go to those lengths...to have to dress as a female every day of their high school career, etc, not to mention the stigma attached to being trans would make you a target for bullying. Who is going to consider it worth the effort to go through that just to see some scantily clad girls? And I would imagine there would have to be some evidence of gender confusion long before it was an issue...they aren't just going to accept someone who has never had any history of it to suddenly say they are transgender and let them use the girls' bathroom. And the majority of girls wouldn't lie about it to get into the boys locker rooms as most guys are more than willing to show the goods anyway...they wouldn't NEED to lie about it. But that all being said, I think it might be safer for the students involved to have their own space just because they WILL be targets. It would be hard enough being "different" without wearing the proverbial target on your back. I really just have so much empathy for them. I can't imagine how hard it must be in that situation.

And...I'm sick. Feel like I've been hit by a truck. Didn't go to my last class. Would have pushed through, and I thought I would, but my asthma was bad. Was going to go to class, and then decided that it was a really dumb idea to risk not being able to breath just for one measly class.

Thankfully for tomorrow, no work, and class at 2 pm, and then home.

Hope you are feeling better. Hugs.

Today is a day off for me. DH got the kids ready and out the door without waking me up. Was a nice treat. I slept in to a few minutes ago. I think I've been fighting something off too.
