Wheres Toto Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Morning, Happy Christmas Eve Eve. Dh is heading down to his mom's this afternoon then driving back with her tomorrow for her to spend a few days with us. While he's gone I may or may not have a car (his is at the shop, again) but even if I have a car, it will be his car so I won't be going anywhere. I need to clean anyway. We need to get ds's room ready for MIL to stay in there, dd's room ready for a mattress on the floor for her brother, the bathroom cleaned (it super duper needs it), the kitchen cleaned, the last of the laundry done. All before they get back tomorrow. We are having Christmas Eve dinner at older dd's apartment, like we did for Thanksgiving. Dh is making lasagna. Dd has more room than we do and my mom lives too far away. We don't know if my mom will make it because she can't drive at night (which just adds one more layer of stupid to her moving an hour away) but we can't eat early because dd has to work. So unless she can stay over at dd's apartment, which I'm leaving up to dd if she's comfortable with that, she can't come. She can't stay with us because MIL will be here and we don't have any space. We are having Christmas Day breakfast at our house and mom will come to that even if she can't make Christmas Eve. That's when the kids will open presents. It will be crowded but manageable. Dh makes sh*t on a shingle (biscuits and gravy) for Christmas Day breakfast every year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nurse didn't have time to talk, plus I'm probably not on the list, which is why we wanted to go in person next week and see if we could find stuff out.

Wheres Toto Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I'm making ds clean out his drawers. He's been wearing a lot of tshirts lately that don't meet the top of his pants and since he's (hopefully!) going to be on campus in January, I thought it was time. I bought him a bunch of larger tshirts for Christmas too. He's gained weight so his belly has definitely gotten bigger (we're working on it, going to the gym almost every day) but he also got taller so it's not completely that. He has some tshirts that he's had for 5+ years so it's not a surprise that they don't exactly fit well. He won't try them all on so I took a tape measure and measured him from shoulder to where they should reach and I'm measuring any that are in doubt. I'm sure it's not completely accurate but anything that comes up 5+ inches short is likely a goner. I'm letting him look through the ones I pull out to donate so if there's anything he's super attached to he can pull it out and keep to wear around the house. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Doing ds's drawers came about because I told him to put his laundry away today since MIL is arriving tomorrow and sleeping in his room. His room is small and we don't want MIL to have to step over crap. He said he couldn't put it away since there was no room in his drawers. I asked dd but she says she has plenty of room in her drawers. I'm 99% sure that's NOT true and that she also has things that don't fit her but hers can be done after Christmas since only her and ds are sleeping in her room and things are actually in drawers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
