Paige Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 They are almost finished with the floor, I think. Now we have a drain in the middle of a random room. WTH? It wasn't visible under the carpet and we had no idea it was there. They cut a hole in a plank and put a white cap on it. I don't like it. I don't know if there's anything I can do about it but it looks terrible. It's a safety hazard too because it's big enough for Baby to fall in, there's water in it, and there's nothing securing the cap. DH said they'd have to pull up most of the floor in that room to cover it up. ? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 One week from today we will be in the Caribbean, swimming with the Nemos. Can't wait!!! DS(17) is being a typical teenage butthead and doesn't want to go. I'm pretty sure he'll have fun once there, but ugh...he can't just be happy. The same kid at 7 whined all the way on a drive to Disney World about how we should have just left him at Grandma's house because he didn't want to go. Of course he had the most fun out of anyone once there and was happy we didn't leave him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 We had beef / bean tacos. With fixins and nothing else because I was in such a tizzy over Lynette's pet-bed heater that I forgot to make a vegetable or salad. I guess the toppings could count as a salad. The pet-bed heater had a stupid prong on the plug so I couldn't use it with the thing I had set up. Dh found an extension cord that works, so it's OK now. Snowflakes are now sitting next to 11pm and 12am. We had the last (church) Children's Choir rehearsal for the season. They sing this Sunday - Thanksgiving Sunday - instead of at Christmas which I am grateful for. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's a trip we've been saving up points for and planning for years. We were going to go to Central/South America the spring before Baby was born before we knew he was coming and put it on hold because of Zika. We decided to go to the Caribbean instead with Baby because it feels safer and easier with a little one. If we waited for him to be older, I know DS (17) wouldn't go. I'm a little disappointed because I really, really, really, wanted to see Tikal, but even a small malaria risk is too much for me with someone who can't take a pill. The trip I won is to Hawaii and only for 2 people, but we can bring Baby at our own expense. I'm going to try to schedule that in Feb. The other kids are jealous but Baby isn't expensive to bring and they would be. I should win a trip for everyone to go to ITT Island! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dd14 is the only one of our kids that we took to Hawaii. She was not quite 1 still nursing and I didn't know about the trip soon enough to wean her. Dd16 and and ds18 were little and the cost/value ratio was not worth it. They stayed with grandparents. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(She's making up new species.) She has lots of extra time for writing now that her tutorial classes are done for the semester. Ds14 has a cello lesson this morning in the not-to-distant university town, and I need to stop for gas so we make it there. It's cold (32*) but we're not as cold as Critter!

KrissiK Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!!!~D Friday Eve!!!! School. Our charter school teacher is coming by this afternoon. That’s fine. She’s a friend of mine and is pretty laid back. We’re not going to my parents’ house for dinner tonight, as we are having Thanksgiving there on Saturday. The kids are disappointed, they love going to Grandma’s house and can’t figure out why she wouldn’t want to have company and make 2 big dinners in the same week.? Yesterday was piano lessons day. My kids take lessons from a friend of my parents from waaaaaaay back in the day. She’s 90 and lives in independent living apartments at our church’s retirement village. It’s 5 minutes away from my house. Anyhow, so I drop DS2 off and her husband (2nd husband, who she married 2 years ago?) signals me over. He’s taking out the trash. So I drive over and he just wants to talk. He’s a great guy and always has interesting stories. Loves to talk. Finally, I get away in time to run home and pick up the girls for their lesson and I get back there and he’s still standing there with his trash can talking to someone else.?? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
