Slache Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I watched a video of very young children getting incredibly excited about their baby siblings being born and now I am both crying and ovulating simultaneously. One was like a three year old with immature pronunciation singing You Are So Beautiful To Me to his baby sister. I almost died. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I’m sitting in the parking garage waiting until 7:30 when I can get back in the drop-off/pick-up line. I wish I had some popcorn. Ds14 has TWO Christmas white elephant party games to deal with this year. We are trying hard to prepare him mentally for them. It gets a little better each year, though last year he cried when someone nabbed his asiago cheese. Sigh. He always says he’s OK and ready, but. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 We had a nice day. A woman at my church who I am getting to know a little better recently invited me (an especially my girls) over for a craft day. She had bought suncatchers, ornaments, and materials to make Christmas wreaths. She has four teenage/grown boys and she said she wanted to borrow some girls. :) I am really not a crafty kind of person, and my girls are, so it was really wonderful that she wanted to do this with them. Then dd12 was invited to a birthday party for a girl whose family is new to our church, so I wanted to make sure that dd12 could go. Dh helped to make that happen. Also, dd16 had to work some today and grocery pickup happened. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Had a fairly productive day. Vacuumed with the new vacuum, moved some furniture around to make room for the tree, set up a couple classes, did a lot of laundry. Now I"m watching this weeks Supernatural but it's commercial time. Tomorrow we have to run over to my mother's house to help her move furniture. Dh stopped by today to drop something off and she told him dd was supposed to have called us about it. Dd who works retail full time and it's the holiday season, dd who is in grad school trying to finish up a semester with all kinds of tests, that dd was supposed to call us about us picking up furniture because one piece (the bed I previously mentioned) was hers. No mention of three other pieces that aren't hers or the fact that mom basically just sits home listening to audio books all day and has way more time to discuss these things. And mom of course got bent out of shape because dd hadn't called us yet. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Have you read the Spellman Files series yet? Your library probably has them. I could go for some Florida about now. I think we're probably at 3-2 odds for a Texas Christmas. Busy day tomorrow. The coffee will be ready around 6:30am.

Wheres Toto Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 1 hour ago, Junie said: What new vacuum did you get? I bought a Shark on Thanksgiving, but we haven't opened it yet. Shark Navigator. Dh brought it since our old Dyson was basically destroyed. It seems to work pretty well. I kind of like the power function. It should come in handy when I make the kids start vacuuming. I have a Vacmaster Wet/Dry vac at my classroom. That works pretty well too. It's a canister vac, not an upright. I've been reading light/fluffy romance novels that I'm borrowing digitally from my library. I still haven't returned the big stack of Heather Graham's that I finished and I'm not looking for anything that takes a lot of brain power (since I don't have that much to spare these days), so light and fluffy it is (Heather Graham counts as light and fluffy IMO). My library uses Cloud Library and I basically just browse the Romance genre until something looks interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 My kitchen isn't clean but I did get a lot of laundry done. Which reminds me, I need to go restart the dryer.

Wheres Toto Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Oh in case anyone was wondering, I was able to get worms. We have a local place that usually sells by mail order as reptile food. Dh called him and he actually donated a couple dozen worms. I had to go to a really creepy warehouse area near dd's TKD dojo but I have my worms. A squirmy wormy booya. PS - I've been preparing my presentation for that class and the pictures of flatworms, roundworms, and leeches are really giving me the creeps.

(I hate carpeted stairs...) I hate stairs. When we were going to move to the Midwest what I wanted was a basic 3-bedroom house with a finished basement. We would be able to use the basement while the children were young and then ignore it when they got older and moved out. Houses in Texas don't have basements so if we want an efficient use of space we have to have an upstairs. I'm a little peeved and I'm not sure what kind of a house we're going to wind up buying. We will probably wind up buying closer to the city and then downsizing when our last one moves out. I don't want to move though. Texas needs basements! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Baby met Santa yesterday and didn't cry. Then he came home, napped, and woke up sick. ☹️ He's only ever been a little sick and he's actually sick for the first time now. Fever was 103/104 last night....Poor baby. He's so sad. I hope he caught what I have instead of picking up something nastier on the plane, but I thought I caught what I have from him when he had some little sniffles and a quick <24 virus. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today after all the hubbub we will light the first purple candle (hope) and have hot cocoa and treats and sing - I realized during service this morning that I never took out the Advent song sheets. Which means dh has to go back into the attic and take down all the boxes for me to dig through until I find them. Oops.
