Graduation & gifts



Recommended Posts

My 5 year old is graduating from pre-k.. This friday... I'm in love with her school so much I love everyone there. The teachers assistance nurse principle everyone. Tears & tears just talking about it. I can't believe my baby girl is growing up more tears. My daughter couldn't really talk she learn sign language as she started getting words in. She learn from adding to subtracting to her number her address. To spell to read. To communicate with people. I'm so proud of her. This is coming from a mother raising 2 special need kids.

I wish I was rich. To buy everyone beautiful flowers arrangement & it's not due to my plastic surgery fund cuz from there I had to put my kids 1st buy dress shoes do my nails buy pull ups. So when you have kids you spend.

I want to buy flower arrangement for all but it's expensive & I will have to only buy the principle one & the rest regular flowers. What do you think? What other gifts besides flowers I can give the rest. 1 teacher 3 assistance 1 assistance principle 1 nurse. Last day of school is next Thursday.

Honestly? I think a heartfelt letter of thanks would mean mor than anything to them. Maybe with something your daughter made for them to go with it?

Your right I will buy a few cards. Still the flower arrangement Lolz for the principle & maybe tulips for the rest. I won't be seeing them anytime soon but we can always visit once a year so they can see how my daughter is growing up.

As a teacher, a letter of thanks and flowers will mean more than more than one more coffee mug! :) Have your daughter make a card. It will be a testament to the growth the teachers have helped her make.

As a former teacher's assistant I can say the gifts that I loved the most were the things thoughtfully and painstakingly hand made by the children themselves. I have kept every card, poem, artwork, and crafted gift from the kids I worked with. Those little ones are in their twenties today and I still see a lot of them (most are my son's friends). They get a kick out of seeing their old handiwork and like knowing I cared enough about them to keep these special gifts. These keepsakes are as beloved as my own children's childhood mementos. Who does not love a gift made from the heart of a child?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
