Yeah, lunch lady :P I'll be at the high school mostly, which is great! Lily is up there, and Iz will be up there not this year, but next year. :)

Kat, 3 days?! That's insane, I can't believe you guys go back so early! It's toooooo hot for that, we don't have AC or anything and kids are already passing out... when it's 85 outside, it was 112 inside one day!

We have ac. But it still gets hot in the building because they don't set it cool enough. And recess is hell. The kids dont start until August 5th.

edit 930am Monday For crying out loud. Ok. That was annoying, SO I went for my meeting this morning, the door is locked, no one is there. I finally figure out how to get wifi on my laptop (which I took with me just in case) and get onto the teams meeting online. No one there. SO I called, left a voicemail, came home. Sent an email. She emails me RIGHT BACK and says "get on the meeting, I will be there" and then apologizes for the meeting being set up at 8 am when NO ONE GETS TO THE SCHOOL until 830 ? MY WTH moment is ... I emailed you "see you at 805" and you said "what day" - and NOT "no one is at school until 830, please reschedule the meeting for after that"

ANYWAY. She is uncertain why the decal funds were refunded instead of applied and assumed it has to do with when they were received. She is going to email her boss about that and also someone in the work study program to get me info on that, but it sounds like I have to have a job at the campus as like an ambassador or something and no thanks I'll skip that. And also I need to talk to the bursar (she called them to get an answer for me, they are emailing her and she'll forward the answer to me) about the remaining balance after I accept the student loan but before DECAL funds arrive... I told her I didn't want to be removed from classes for not paying tuition - so how I do I pay that balance until those funds arrive? And do I get it back or what? etc etc. All easier to ask in person but its in email AND then I spoke to her on the teams call sigh And now I have to talk to MORE people yay. Ugh

Anyway. I ordered my books. Looks like I only get 2 hard copies, other things are digital I guess. And I accepted the subsidized loans and rejected the unsubsidized loans, so now I need to wait and see what email says when I get it from the bursar and then arrange the payments until DECAL comes.

Oh yeah - so my upcoming schedule for work - Wednesday when I go back to work, nothing happening (work in rooms) except treats being brought from a sponsor (fun!). Thursday we have faculty meeting in the morning (BOO! Boring) followed by car rider duty meeting. Friday we have district PL and no idea what, but I guess we will get an email on what to attend. Monday is Leader in Me training and I'm not sure if we have to attend that, we did last year but we aren't really involved in the program so I dunno....and I think the lead teachers set up the PreK Parent Orientation for that night. LONG day. Tuesday is Open House and BLT lunch from the principal. Wednesday we have the county wide "education celebration" in the morning followed by a quick meeting with the principal and vice principal after lunch ("grade level check in meeting') - not sure if para's are supposed to attend that or just lead teachers :P Thursday - nothing scheduled but work in rooms Friday - faculty meeting to finish anything not completed on last Thursdays faculty meeting, followed by lunch provided by another sponsor

Well, at least there's treats?!

I hate phone calls, so I'd definitely prefer e-mail, but at least things are getting done and worked on, Kat?

SO the kids are leaving for IMPACT on Wednesday.. and their second chaperone backed out yesterday afternoon. Soooooo it's looking like I'm going, which I'm.. not ENTIRELY thrilled about?!

But.. it'll be fine. It'll be what it is, I guess! And, I said that I really couldn't afford to miss the day of work or whatever it is, and she said that they'd pay me for what I was missing, since this is still church related sooooo... argh. :P

I'm just not prepared mentally or physically for 4 days of heat and camping and such with a group of teenagers in the heatttttttt.

Treats and Free lunches are always appreciated!! :D

Phone calls are worse. At least in teams/zoom meetings, you can see the person you are talking to. But I still prefer in person, because I always have papers I printed off and notes, and when I'm NOT in person I always forget to use them :P And yeah. Some things are getting done or starting to get done/worked on. sigh

Oh no, poor you! Well, you are getting paid for missing a day of work, so that at least is nice? But yeah, UGH! Camping/teens/heat is NOT my idea of FUN!

I'd rather just go to work :P

BUT! I'm glad they still get to go!

I LOATHE phone calls, in person is.. fine. I'd rather do that than zoom in SOME cases.. but I like that I can just stay home :P

They wouldn't be able to go if you didn't? And let me guess, the majority of those going belong to you in one way or another? :P I did a Saturday school field trip one time for the kids to be able to go somewhere once. I got a parent of the year award for it too LOL

I don't mind going somewhere unless it gets screwed up like it did today. As long as its not super far away. Now if I'd had to go to the Macon or Atlanta campus instead of just to Henry, well I probably would have just done a zoom meeting and not fussed. :P

Thanks Drills! [item2=Rainyday Ethereal Dress]

Well, Lily is going. And Sean, her boyfriend. And Lilys friend from school Rylee, who also went to the youth leadership conference.

And then two of the other chaperones two kids are going. :P So 5 teenagers and the two of us.

Awwww that's awesome!

Oh yeah, if it's not too far it's not too bad!

Oooh Kat that's a GORGEOUS dress, I don't think I've ever seen it before. Way to go, Drills!

Ahh, mixed gender group, so male/female chaperone needed... Because 5 teens for 1 adult seems a fine ratio otherwise :P The field trip was a science fair thing up in Atlanta, I think there were about 10-15 kids? Me and the science teacher. Not sure exactly on the # of kids anymore. It was Katie, and middle school, so quite a while ago LOL I do remember Katie got sick while we were up there, poor thing. She stuck it out the best she could. But we did leave a little early.

It is a nice dress tho its more like a nightgown to me lol :) I like doing drills, he gives old subq stuff pretty often,

Oh, no, both chaperones are women. It's just that safe sanctuary requires TWO adults for everything. Technically we're NOT safe sanctuary safe on the drive, because there's only one adult in each car.. but Sean and Rylee have driven with me before for other things, and Alicia is just bringing her own kids so.. it's fine. :P

Oh no, poor Katie! :( Though it was forever ago and she probably doesn't remember! haha.

I think it looks like something to wear to the beach!

True, it could be a swimsuit coverup!! :)

I doubt she does LOL I won't remember to ask her.

Hmm. Not heard of that, but it makes sense, to have two adults regardless. Although its also odd to me with so few kids.

Been to the bank, deposited the check from the insurance (it came in the mail yesterday). Went to walmart, bought two shelves and some candy. Then to Ollies where I bought one more grass rug for the dog pen, to cover up the rest of the mud area. Then home. Put the shelves together. They're in the kitchen, so Anna can use her own pots & pans if she wants to (she was fussing she missed using her own things) and store them on the shelves. Also extra shelving for snacks or specific types of food that the dogs/cats can't get into (cans? Boxes maybe? Drinks) I got two types of shelves because I wasn't sure which one would work better and eventually I'll use both of them in a totally different way after they move out (I bought the shelves, I'm keeping the shelves). One is actually a laundry shelf (supposed to hold towels etc) and the other is a shoe shelf LOL But they'll work for pots/pans or food. Shane is not happy about it because it means Anna wants HIM to go up into the attic to get her stuff down. HE was fine with them using my stuff (so am I) but I want her to be comfortable and if it makes her happier to use her own things, so be it. AND NO BABY YET. Ugh.

Then I got online and made the escrow repayment so my mortgage/escrow accounts are all in order again. Of course, now I'm out $ until the check clears hahaha but that shouldn't take but a few days. I had more than enough in there to cover it plus I'll be getting my second full paycheck for the month soon anyway (the final payment for last school year, and THEN we will begin the bi-monthly regular payments for THIS school year and I'll learn how much I'll actually get per deposit date lol)

OH and I turned on all my morning alarms now cries I'll turn on the afternoon one this evening or tomorrow morning. (Wake up, BP/Medicine, Leave, Clock In, Clock Out - clock out is only afternoon one) I probably won't NEED them, but I like to have them to remind me in case I forget or sleep in somehow :P (Wait, sleep in, me? NOOO that doesnt happen, not usually. But I might lay in bed til 630 and I can't anymore lol not if I want a shower in the mornings)

Two adults regardless of size. And they can't be married, married people count as one person.

You're also supposed to have at least two adults for girl scouts and 4H, regardless of the amount of kids.

GOOD LUCK with school! And money :P And Shane and Anna! Maybe when I get back you'll be a grandma!

And on that note.. I'm gonna go pack the car and cry a bit :P And run out to buy sunscreen, because... ours disappeared, even though I just bought it?!

Hope you have fun

Me, I spent my day cleaning and moving furniture. And then putting things away on the shelves. Tomorrow is faculty meeting in the morning. Sooo boring but it is what it is. Plus car rider duty meeting (that'll be brief).

Then I guess I'll work on the bulletin board (the class next door had a teenage helper today and got their door and board done, but they didn't even start on ours but thats ok, I don't mind doing it myself, gives me something to do!) Not sure when I'll be able to decorate it, but I can put the paper up and the border, and then when she brings the sports stuff she ordered or prints off whatever she's putting on the door, I can put it up quick.

I also am debating asking for some spray cleaner and spraying the toys/manipulatives that are in buckets. I wiped down ALLLLLL the shelves, all the tables, chairs, etc every big toy (almost) today. I even wiped down the cubby shelves and the closet where the book bags hang! All nice and clean and sterilized :P Lysol wipes lol

Hey guys :)

Good luck on your trip have fun :P

Kat oh dear you have a lot going on :O GOOD LUCK with school! College And money And Shane and Anna and Nathan How's his Job hunting going?

Good luck ! :)

Ooh guys. I got my DECAL scholarship approval today. Also I got notified that DECAL and BFTS wants to give PreK Lead and Assistant/Paras a raise, but there is one thing that may halt it - if the county is paying the K paras and SPED paras LESS than what our raise will be, the county has the right to waive our raise so that all the paras are earning an equal amount :( (And I think they don't mean that we are all earning exactly the same income, just that for each of us, it is equitable for our length of hire/hours we work). I hope we are able to get the raise. Because its almost $5000 raise per year!! That would be awesome. (2500, then an additional 3000 DECAL wants to give, if I remember all the info correct - I wish they'd send THAT info in an email!! We went over it on a PowerPoint this morning during PL)

Oh AND did I mention the retention bonus our county is giving? So this year it's $1000, if you're a para and have been employed for over a year - and they are just adding it to our base yearly salary and dividing the total income by the 24 payroll payments.

[edit] Ok. So. I don't really know how to go about this so I'm going to just say it like I see it. I believe at this point the baby is, was, has been, A LIE Yesterday Anna went to the hospital. Like at 11am. She said she was fine every time I asked and didn't want me to come "they're just running tests because I don't feel good" She kept refusing me to come. Finally, at 4pm, after I'd got off work, and ran home to let the dogs out in case Nathan was sleeping, I decided to just head to the hospital. AS SOON AS life360 told her I left the house - she sent this long ass message. Stating the baby had died in the womb, that she'd delivered it but refused to look at it as it was deteriorated and discolored. And then at the end she stated that they were releasing her and taking her to her car, but since she is on pain medication and can't drive can I bring Nathan to come drive her home. She was in the car by the time we got to the hospital. I AM FREAKING SORRY BUT THIS IS MY LIMIT.

1. THEY WILL NOT RELEASE YOU LESS THAN AN HOUR AFTER YOU GIVE BIRTH, live baby or no live baby. OR after a D&C either. THEY WILL NOT RELEASE YOU THAT SOON
2. THEY WILL NOT RELEASE YOU and LEAVE YOU IN YOUR CAR if you are on pain meds so strong you can't drive. THEY WILL NOT TAKE YOU OUTSIDE.
3. She was only ever in the ER and was never admitted to the hospital. The paperwork she has from the actual ER ONLY mention breathing issues. The other papers have NOTHING about the hospital on them AND the ones regarding the "fetal death" have SOOOO MANY DISCREPENCIES ON IT. SO much WRONG information that didn't line up with what she told me on the text.

I do not even know what to think or what to say and I also really feel like I should not even be sharing THAT much info on here, but you guys are as invested (? knowledgeable?) in this "baby" as I am and I am so - I don't even know. Brokenhearted, upset, pissed off, disappointed, mad, just just just - omg I don't even KNOW!!!!

She refused to call Shane about it (He was sleeping). She sent him ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME TEXT MESSAGE she sent me. Like she'd copied and pasted most of it. If I was that distraught over something like this I would not have been able to even type, I may not have even managed to call someone on the phone. I sure as hell would have WANTED HIM TO KNOW ABOUT IT and would have been my first phone call.

AND THIS MORNING SHE DROVE TO FREAKING JACKSON TO BRING HIM HOME???? (20-30min drive) EXCUSE ME? "why didn't you get me or Nathan, we should have gone to get him" You guys were sleeping, I didn't want to wake you up.

MIND BLOWN I could not even get on last night to even try and explain this. I just... I don't even KNOW right now guys. I just... DON'T!

[edit] Sunday 130pm , or even once you get back (whoever answers first) if any of you want the following new stickers stuck on you, I'll stick the ones I bought onto you if you'll buy them and stick them on me (that way we both get stuck w/o using trades or sending over of stickers) of course, if any of you need any OTHER stickers stuck on, just let me know and I'll be happy to do those as well.

OMG!! i'm so sorry :( I can't believe the baby has been a LIE!! all this time were there any scan photos?. They would not just admit her to ER they would admit her to MATERNITY I don't think ANYTHING!! she has said so far ADDS up they would NOT!! let her out of hospital that quickly and especially if she's on super strong pain meds and they DEFINETLY WOULD'NT just take her to her car!! and leave her on her own she's just suffered major EMOTIONAL, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL TRAUMA!! and as for that text message there's no way I could put something so DETAILED!. I would be lucky if i could just type the baby's dead!!, and as for not waking Shane the first person I would tell before anyone would be Shane the FATHER of the baby I would be DEVASTATED! our baby had died and would want him to know FIRST! and I would DEFINETLEY want to see him when I got home

SHE IS LYING OR IS A COLD HEARTED BITCH!! was she upset and crying?

I only ever saw one ultrasound. It was dated 36 weeks when she was supposed to be 38 weeks along. She was upset/crying that night when I picked her up. I have not heard or seen any emotions since then. Both she and Shane were just going about as if everything was normal that weekend, and now he's back in the truck and she's stayed in the bedroom unless she had to come out - but I'm at work again so I don't know how much she came out yesterday, I know she did not at ALL once I got home (but I got home late). And yes, I know people process things differently, but that just seems, I dunno. WRONG? Surely they both should have been more upset, especially the first day or two after?

There is just SO MUCH that doesn't add up. But now Shane is backtracking and claiming he DOES believe she was pregnant, that he DID feel the baby move "before but just not recently" when he told me like 3 weeks ago he didn't believe she was ever pregnant because he never felt the baby move and it was only ever her breathing... I mean DUDE you are the one that brought up the doubt first by saying those things!! THEN we started noticing other things that didn't add up. (I mean, ok before that we wondered why he never went to any appointments, why he (or even she) never spoke about feeling the baby moving, why we never saw any ultrasound pictures....but passed it off as different personalities, some folks don't like sharing as much as others and with them living out of state its also kind of harder to share things on the moment they happen and you can forget about telling someone about something later....see what I mean? Plausible explanations but not how we were when I was pregnant so we wondered about it, but let it go as different personalities)

I am still just so unsure of what to do or what to say. I am certain she is aware I (and Shanes dad) think this whole thing is untrue, but how do you prove it? NO ONE was with her because she refused to allow me to come to the hospital "everything is going ok, they're just running tests right now" and then I decided I was going anyway whether she wanted me or not, that is when we get that message. It just doesn't seem right. But I cannot prove truth or untruth and I just don't know what to do. I am at the point where I think I am just going to have to move on. Not bring it up. Not talk about it anymore. And just go on as if it never happened or something in order to be able to live with her being in a relationship with Shane still.

She's probably more than aware I have been "talking about her behind her back" which she asked me NOT TO DO - but how do you NOT talk about this with your family ?? Like I have to talk to someone, and I can't let MY family keep believing in something I believe is a lie w/o discussing it with them. My mom and dad and one sister in law is who I've talked to - the sister in law is only because she experienced an infant death herself and I wanted to ask about her experience in being in the hospital and what happened after the death of the baby to compare it to what Anna said, but it was too different to compare. I am making sure I am telling them this is MY belief and this is WHY and then they can decide for themselves but I mean - yeah it just doesn't make sense for it to be what she said.

All the people except my dad and Ryan that I've talked to are female. ALL of them agree that there is just no way they would have released her from the hospital ER on pain medication or just after delivery. Her mom and dad were shocked by that too, but they are still in belief it was a stillborn baby loss. I'm not telling them all my doubts tho. I am staying out of that on that side..

and exactly chelle!! if it was me I would have wanted SOMEONE there with me at my ER visits especially if I thought I might deliver the baby or be admitted to the hospital. I would have wanted someone there with me to support me. I sure as hell would have wanted to tell my husband FIRST and IN PERSON as much as possible (phone call not a text if he wasn't THERE). I also would NOT have been able to type out (or copy/paste or alter) a long ass message explaining things (that contradict themselves and the paperwork). I sure as hell would have been a sobbing emotional mess for more than 12 hours.

Are you gonna ask her to leave because you don't believe her it's sure gonna be hard to live in a house with a person you believe could tell a LIE about being pregnant and then LIE about something as AWFUL AS A STILL BORN BABY! That is LOW and TWISTED I agree they both should of been more upset, especially Anna it was HER FREAKING BABY for pity's sake EVERYTHING you have said about Shanes DOUBTS and the way they have just carried on as "normal" is wrong on so many levels, but like you say how do you prove it?!? What did the hospital papers say about the baby and how she died? Also she wasn't in labour long?

I want to. I don't even want to be in my own house right now knowing she is here. But Shane wants to stay in the relationship with her. And they have no where else to go right now. And I don't want to risk losing my relationship with HIM. I told Shane yesterday when I finally got a chance to talk to him (on the phone) that I just couldn't let them stay for much longer when I have this belief. I told him I would not kick him out like RIGHT NOW because I know they don't have anywhere to go and no money to get one.

He replied that she was "so uncomfortable" being in my house that she told him she wanted to go to a homeless shelter instead of staying here. The next phone call (he called me shortly before my meeting at school last night and then I called him back after it was over to finish our conversation) - he told me that she found an apartment to sublet. I told him to make sure the apartment complex was aware of the sublet and not to just go on the owner/tenant of the apartment saying it was ok.

The only reason I let them move in was because I did not want a baby to be homeless and they were on the verge of losing the house they had in texas. AND because she kept saying she wished she was here where I could be there for her when Shane was over the road etc etc. Yeah. Whatever. Because you so totally let me BE THERE to support you.
