I know the game is incredibly dated (floppy disks, landlines and briefcases, oh my), but there’s something about the atmosphere of it that continually draws me back. The soundtrack, especially, constantly gets stuck in my head. Anyone else?
Hey all! I picked up a last minute long term position for 1st grade. It’s actually only about 3 1/2 weeks in total, but the kids are having a hard time adjusting. Their teacher is out on last minute maternity leave. While I am good at classroom maintenance and I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve, the kids are taking advantage of my ignorance and doing small but obnoxious things like requesting breaks (only one kid is supposed to get breaks, now I know this 🙈), bringing stuffed animals to school (not supposed to be a thing), and all asking to sharpen pencils at once (apparently the teacher only sharpens). I’m also struggling with the stress of math, teaching it (things are soooo different now then when I was in school) and keeping up the pace/making sure everything gets done in the 50 minute math window. I have really great co-teachers and admin that have been supportive and super hands on, but does anyone have advice?
5 month old baby girl is getting her first tooth on the top middle. I felt it today when I was feeding her baby food. She hasn’t been super fussy, but she has been drooling and putting everything in her mouth. What do I need to know/do as a first time momma? Also feeling allll the feels and trying not to panic, because I feel like she’s growing so fast.
I’m a long time, oldy fan (I started with treasure in the royal tower when it first came out) and have always wanted to buy an old laptop (windows 98 or windows 2000) to play the old games properly. Would it be worth spending a couple hundred on an old laptop to play them? I can run most of them on my new PC but it’s not the same.
Our LO is 5 months old and the best thing that has happened to us. But I think I’m struggling with PPD or just life in general. Baby was very much wanted, and it took me two years to get pregnant. She is really starting to blossom, and her personality is showing. However I really find myself mourning my child free life. Before I had her, I loved to read, sew, and just sit on my iPad and veg out. Don’t get me wrong, she adds a fullness to my life that was missing when I didn’t have kids. But I look forward to when she falls asleep so that I can just relax and feel normal again. She’s also a bit colicky and when she’s really mad, she’s inconsolable. Is this just me? Am I a monster?
