Yeah. My WTFs are too much for this crowd I think.

 

I am annoyed with this stupid weather though.

WTF is wrong with people?  I'm so sick of hearing about how Kennedy should be walking or crawling on all fours by now.  I don't expect people to be experts on Down syndrome, but don't challenge me when I try to explain that we have a long way to go before she starts doing either.  You aren't the one working with her every day, you aren't the one taking her to PT, etc.  It's hard enough seeing kids younger than her do things that she's not yet, with out having someone rub it in my face.  (Especially family.  So STFU MIL.)

I strongly dislike your MIL based on all the things you have told us.  No offensive to your H!

You know, I even get that with Macy.  Constantly I feel that others are always assessing my kid.  Always comparing her.  It's annoying and sometimes it makes me insecure.  I can only imagine how it must be with having a child with DS, since most people are uneducated about it and the care she receives.  

People are always so quick to judge parenting skills.   them.

 That is very annoying. People are just uneducated and know-it-alls.

Not really a WTF..but whatever.

Some days my job is really sad: We have a patient in the office right now who was recently diagnosed w/ pancreatic cancer. They said that the oncologist told them that the best shot the pt has at survival is a resection. If the resection can't be done they only have a few months. The spouse said, so if this dr can't help us then we are in big trouble.

it's so sad. so tragic, and ridiculously unfair. the patient is young... my moms age.

ugh.

 

in other funnier news: I kept the Drs baby again yesterday for about 40 minutes.. he screamed for about 20 of those 40 minutes. OMG. my ovaries shriveled up and died.

I dont get to post on here much but I do lurk while I am pumping 2 times a day. Stupid Iphone, someday I will figure out to be able to post.

I just wanted to say that you are an incredible mom from what I have read on your blog. Kennedy is so lucky to have you both as parents because you seem so loving and accepting of who she is. You make me strive to be a better mom and just cherrish every day with Mason. Dont let those people get under your skin. I dealt with the same thing before my DS rolled over. Everyone kept asking me when he was going to roll over and my MIL even said he was behind the curve because he had not rolled over. Well sure enough he rolled over a few days later. So take that MIL!!  People need to realize that every baby, whether downs or no downs, will  do things when they are ready. Its not like you see a 15 year old that doesnt know how to roll over or crawl.

WTF is up with other schools kicking their kids out and my class having to get all new kids with high stakes testing starting in 1 week?  I have had 7 new students since January with no end in sight.  And atleast 2 of them a SERIOUS behavior issues and 1 has serious mental issues due to family life.  I try the hardest I can, but I am so burnt out...

Pigging backing off this last WTF, WTF is up with me having a student throwing chairs (almost hitting me), baskets, classroom equipment and staring me down like a pitbull, and nothing is being done with him?  How come it is so easy for some schools to get students with minor behavior problems out, but nothing will happen until he seriously hurts me or another student. Doesn't that seem like a problem to anyone else?

WTF is up with other people not having to perform their job?  I am trying to solidify a pavilion for MacKenzie's Birthday at the end of March.   Since I work in St. Pete and live in Largo, I have to rush home to get to to the park by 4:00 to get the pavillion reserved.  Guess what?  The guy in charge decided to go home early, so I could not reserve anything.  Let's just say I won't be happy having to rush home tomorrow and will be requesting a discount for having to take time out of my workday to make it there on time.

That is so sad, Jena.  One of my professors in college was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and he died three weeks later.  It seems to be one of those fast developing cancers that is hard to diagnose until it is too late.

I'm a little late, but I just wanted to say that people are so annoying. I hate getting the judgy tone! Ugh! Zoe isn't walking yet and has never pulled herself up to stand unassisted. She stood unassisted for the first time this past week, and it has only been a few times. She cruises along furniture like a crazy woman. I am not worried about her not walking or anything yet, but have gotten so many judgements about it.

I am also tired of the judgements I have started getting about BFing for more than 1 year. Ugh.

 Thank you!  This made me cry.
