We are expecting baby #3 and we’re waiting until birth to find out the sex. We are pretty set on a boy name, but I’m finding the girl names to be difficult. My favorites in order are:

Favorite: Eva

Next: Naomi

Last: Sophie and Tessa

I realize a couple are pretty high in popularity, which I’m not totally concerned with. Which flows best with Gemma and Lily? Any others that might sound nice?? I’m having analysis paralysis.

Just like the title said — I work in the schools so I am off in the summer and obviously my kids (3 and 5) are as well. Every summer there is about a 2 week transition period where I am truly the worst version of myself and dread the monotony of every day and often day dream of running away.

I miss the routine of the school year, the ability to have adult conversations/mental stimulation and most of all the absence of whining, complaining and fighting. How the hell do people deal with the aforementioned? I have a “star jar” where I reward and acknowledge good behavior but that only seems to do so much. I find myself yelling and full of rage on so many occasions throughout the day. Maybe I need ear plugs? And I only try to intervene in fights if I think someone will get physically hurt which is about 95% of the time so, I am almost always intervening. SOS! Dreading summer.
