Strep throat? We'll know in the morning!

Making Quiv's cinnamon rolls for tonight. New New Year's tradition? I think so!

No more Santa in our house :-(. We're starting a new tradition- race to the cookie. The first kid out of bed gets to eat the cookie that Santa used to get.

Why do I torture myself by looking at expired Amazon gold box deals? Could have bought a Celestron microscope for $79 dollars!

Bummed. One of our Christmas gift plans is not going to pan out. Wicked balcony tix are sold out and everything else starts at $120 each. ouch.

One kid is learning long division for the first time, the other is learning equations with improper fractions/mixed numbers. My voice hurts and my head is about to explode.

I'm off of grains until Christmas (post-Thanksgiving course correction). I'm so tempted to lick the tops of my kids' everything bagels right now.

Can somebody come over and cook dinner? I don't want to!

As much as I was dreading it, Monday has been surprisingly smooth!

Our 2 weeks off screwed up all of my school momentum.

Scoring all sorts of BF deals online. Old Navy, Woot, and Amazon!

I went looking for your TOG threads (not that I could be any help with them, but just hoping they had gotten some attention) and I found your birthday wish for me. That was so sweet! I'm sorry I missed it the first time around, but it was a nice start to my day today.

BTW, analyzing other people's personality types is addictive. Z is definitely an IS_J and F is definitely EN__. K is hard to figure out. She rides the E/I line like I do, not sure about S/N, definitely FP.

Hi there,

You've been on my mind. How did you make out with the flooding? I hope no news is good news!

So you seriously have a 1-star stalker? Yay, we're grown ups!

Onto another thought, do you really not need more than 4 hours of sleep a night? I think my brain would be soup if that's all the sleep I got.

Hey there, I was just searching for an old post of my own and I came across your post about Lori Mckenna. I just want to let you know that I LOVE her and I agree that Unglamorous is an awesome mom song. Have a great day!

Hi Rhonda,

It's been awhile since I've seen an update from you. I hope your treatment is going well. You are in my prayers,

Shannon

Happy Birthday!

Hello friend,

Thank you oh so much for that heavenly chocolate. I had a square and then promptly tucked the remainder away in my super-secret-mom-is-having-a-bad-day hiding spot. I love, love, love dark chocolate. Best wishes for the new year!

Thanks for the granola recipe. It looks delish!
