Jean in Newcastle Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Also I am ticked off at dd. She's in day camp this week. She's supposed to check in with me when they get back from field trips. She didn't check in. I texted her multiple times. No response. I had to call the Y to find out if they had power (in case that was why she couldn't contact me). They did. Then I had to leave a message with the front desk to have her get in touch with me. Her excuse was that her earbuds were in and she couldn't hear the notifications of my texts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikslo Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Oh mercy! Bah humbug, indeed! Poor teenage you! Yes. I cried. Teenage meltdown. I seem to remember (details are fuzzy as I was so distressed) my parents gave me some money so I could finish my Christmas shopping, but still. Hard lesson to learn. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 All caught up. Had my staff xmas party last night, was good. Going crazy at work. Only 3 more work days left before having 2 weeks off. I still.can't decide if i like my dyed hair. I got a big awesome stack of donations for my daycare today and go pick up more stuff around town tomorrow. My program is going to rock in the new year and accreditation will love it. And my dog hating mom is allowing us to bring both dogs to her house for this weekend because it was that or we weren't coming because while my 3 yr old dog is fine for a weekend (he thinks he is a cat), the 9 week puppy is not. So she invites the dogs along for xmas. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Ok, I am back. I had a wonderful breakfast with BFF. Did a little shopping and then.... ok, I just need to let this go because there's nothing I can do about it now, but I am just so mad at myself. So, the voters in California voted that places like Target can't give us bags anymore. We have to buy them. I do have a stash that I take to AFSA, but I leave them in my car and I took DH's car today. So, instead of buying more bags, I just put my stuff back in the cart. Well, I have been having trouble lately thinking. And being at Target got me all ruffled and being in the Big City got me ruffled and trying to finish up Christmas shopping got me ruffled... so I'm in this insane huge parking lot very ruffled and I left two items in my cart. I didn't have much, so I put most in the child seat part of the cart, which I emptied. I don't know why I didn't check the rest, I was in a hurry, there were a lot of cars.... and when I got home I realized I didn't have those two things. They weren't terribly expensive, added up to about $25, but I am over budget as it is.... I got home and realized this and just about cried. We've been plastic-bagless for 3-4 years now. Paper bags are 10 cents each if you need one. I have left more than one item in a cart when I I've forgotten my bags. :grouphug: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Time for bed now. DD12 has an orthodontist appointment in the morning, and Grandma might take them out for manicures afterwards. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to wrap presents and maybe get some more laundry run. Or vacuuming done. Though I have to come up with a plan for supper. I guess I'll thaw something and have DH grill it. Good night, all northern hemispherers! Have a good day, Isabel and anyone else south of the equator!

Critterfixer Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I woke up miffed and upset this morning because I thought I'd missed a chapter's worth of scenes in my index. I was all set to ransack the document today looking for them. Then I looked at my work and realized I've still got about six chapters to do before I'm finished. And yes, that chapter I thought I didn't do is in the last six. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanalouwho Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'm up. I need coffee. DH has a crisis at work. Someone entered something wrong when building a spreadsheet and all the plans that they've been planning for months are all wrong. And this job starts in January and he has to figure out how to fix it. So he's probably going to miss Christmas. I honestly don't mind if he misses the big get together as long as he's home for Christmas morning. He said he could probably go in at lunch so at least there's that. I have to venture out into the public today to pick up the last of the party supplies. But first, coffee.

AMJ Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I am up, showered, doing all the health things (except exercise) I should be doing first thing in the morning, and I have gotten one kid through the shower (the other is currently in) and put away MY clean laundry (DD12's is still awaiting putting away). I also moved laundry in the machines, took out the recycling, and put away the harder-to-reach clean dishes (DD15's job to put away clean dishes, so the rest are left for her). I have confirmed the time of the orthodontist appointment. I have confirmed plans for today and tomorrow with MIL. Time to finish eating breakfast and write up a grocery list. Everyone have a good day! I'll check back when I can. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Openhearted Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Good morning! I am overwhelmed. There is too much stuff to do and think about. My brother in-law has decided to move out of the rental trailer right in the middle of the polar vortex. He needed to move, but he should've this fall. Now I have to worry about water lines freezing, etc. I still have Christmas stuff to do. I'm not very Christmassy this year. I will be glad when it is over. I hope everyone is feeling better. :grouphug: to all. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Well, I have coffee-ed and devotioned. The kids are still asleep. I love quiet mornings, so I'm not too upset that I woke up early. I even had my favorite Latin Christmas Carol (Jesu Redentor Omnius) playing in my head when I woke up. (If anyone wants a lovely Latin Christmas CD, check out CAP's "Veni Emanuel". It's on sale now and it is so beautiful) I'm taking the kids to the thrift shop this morning to do their Christmas shopping. We did that last year and it worked out well. Lana - I'm so sorry about the mess DH has to clean up. Hope he gets through it quickly! Brandy - you can do it gal! Keep your eyes on the goal (two weeks off) Dawn - sorry about feeling overwhelmed. I'm feeling overwhelmed myself and tend to really not like this time of year. Hope you can find something to do about those water lines.... AMJ - you have been quite ambitions. 10,000,000 points for you! Susan - the zoo sounds wonderful. I love going to our local zoo. Good morning Shade and Junie!
