Miss the hugs, the collective AHA moments, the celebrations (doing Mothers' Day Spa virtually tomorrow...best we can do), the eye to eye contact, and the spontaneous, humorous moments. Miss knowing they're safe and okay. DO NOT miss the 45 minute one-way commute or the "90% female environment." REALLLY don't miss the regimented schedule, the meltdowns (2 sweet high-functioning Autistics...one, bless her, but she's come so far), and the micromanagement that rears from time to time. 🤣🤣🤣 It's really been good in a big pic sense. I am very, very fortunate...super-blessed. Our nearby lakes have been an oasis for many. We're tackling backyard projects to make one here. 🤗😁 What age does she teach? The one thing I'll always envy about teaching in a parochial school is being able to comfort and do life from a faith perspective without worrying about fetters. When is her "last day"? Ours was to be June 2 due to late construction start...then May 29...now, May 22, "for all practical purposes"--admin. No one is complaining. 🤫😉 She teaches 5-7th ELA. Her last grades went in 36 minutes ago... She still has some admin work to do. Switching classrooms next year, so I have some moving around to look forward to.😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't do anything without my husband's help, and I may be changing classrooms too as grades shift campuses. Congratulations to you, too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyclawedtiger 206 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) My number 1 fan Mag Pie. Her momma and daddy like the break they get when I play and she comes sit with me. Moved outside and didn't notice she sneaked out while playing. Looking at me like what are you doing. Start back. We were up till 3 am. She's partial to Jason Isbell and Blackberry Smoke.

I took to hand watering and feeding him fruit with almond butter just to get him some nutrients in him and it seems to be helping a lot. Actually getting up and moving around a bit. He doesn't seem to be suffering otherwise I'd be hauling him to the vet for the big sleep, and feeding him diligently has helped a lot. Maybe he's got a few weeks left in the tank with a softer diet. Going to get him some Ensure at the store today and see how he likes that. No idea how it happened, but Nugget has somehow outlived his brother. Nibbles stopped eating this morning and was dead by 5. I have no idea how that happened. Expect Nugget to follow shortly. Better dig another hole. Jillian handled it as well as can be expected.

I was caught completely off guard. Nibbles was in far better shape than Nugget beforehand. It was quick. He suddenly stopped eating and was gone within a few hours. Nugget won't be far behind. He's ailing badly as we speak, even though he's still eating and drinking, he hasn't moved from the spot his brother died. I already have his grave dug, right next to Nibbles.
