Morning. I don't have much else to say. I'm at work today orienting 3 new employees.
I posted some heavy shit in the private board. I don't want to bring down this thread with it.

I'm WFH. I sent my boss a text last night, letting him know we were waiting on results, asking company policy. He said to use my best judgement. I asked twice about policy. So I sent a text to the coworkers I sit closest to, since I know one of them is strongly against WFH, told them what was going on and asked for their input. Of course, the one against WFH told me she was fine with me coming in. I sent my boss a text and said I would be in, but wearing a mask. He replied that he didn't want me coming in, we have a full office with people who have travelled from the UK, so to stay home until we get results. Ok, you could have just said that initially...
I need to do a grocery pick up. We are pretty low on some things.

I've been up since 3. Apparently mh forgot to turn on Cadence's night light, so she walked all the way to my room in the dark to let me know she couldn't see in her room and needed to sleep in my bed. Keep in mind, my room is dark as well, but ok. Then the two boy cats couldn't decide where to sleep with this intruder in their space, I started sweating because said intruder is apparently a walking space heater, the cat won't stop licking my arm, the other one decides its a great time to clean his ass right next to my face. Just as I start falling back to sleep I hearthis tiny whisper, "how many more minutes until we get up?" uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh
I will be going straight to bed as soon as she is asleep tonight. And making sure her nightlight is ON!

I'm under a pile of blankets watching Selling Sunset. I got so chilled walking the kids to the bus, playing with A outside and getting him to school. I should be cleaning or showering.

Morning. mwhip Well he made that harder than he had to. Annoying. Hope you get results back today. Monday indeed. I have so much to do today and I just want to sit on my ass. I’ll try to get everything on my list complete so I can sit on my ass tomorrow. My boss texted me and although I don’t work tomorrow, she said I can definitely come in Thursday. Praise be!

Oh no, jewels, I'm sorry. We're here if you need us. I don't have access to the private board (since the summer, actually) if anyone can send me the link I'd appreciate it. I hope everyone is okay. ETA: I found the password

I spent the morning cleaning and getting ourselves back on track for the weeks of school. Waiting on two grocery orders right now. I'm largely unmotivated to shop for Christmas. We made big Amazon list yesterday and I know I just have to click the cart to buy! Maybe tomorrow!

Ooh...I'm watching The Morning Show and it is so good. I love it. And I love that it's blantently taking off of the Matt Lauer issue.
Did a bunch of errands this morning. Now I need to workout.

Anyone else's kid have jacked up teeth? M's were a mess and so far all she had was the palate expander and they look much better (still needs braces, but not bad).
C had perfect baby teeth and a bigger mouth so I didn't think she'd need as much work as M. Not sure if late prevention due to Covid is the problem, but her teeth are a mess. One of her front teeth is at a major angle, one is coming in at a weird spot, and another is causing her pain because it's coming in but the baby tooth isn't even loose. She was supposed to get a palate expander but the supplies didn't arrive.

inthekitty Cs are a mess. I know he will need the expander and braces but I want him to go to my dentist so he is on the books for an appointment there in January. His current one is kind of like a Gentle Dental for kids and not saying those are bad but they often have high turnover and I need some consistency of care for these bad boys!

Today has been a literal shit show. Apparently Lola was crying to go to the bathroom at 2am. C heard her but no one else did. When I went to get her up this morning there was poo everywhere. It took me three hours to clean up. I also had to stop at the dog wash for her and get her some new blankets. I feel horrible we didn’t here her so I bought baby monitors. I had the day off today and although this is not how I planned it at least I wasn’t trying to deal with this while working.

It finally came out but he was like a shark with 2 rows of teeth for a while. His last dentist appt they said we were going to talk orthodontics the next one so I know it's coming.

C has been begging to go to gymnastics forever. They reopen today so I called to see if there was a spot for him. It was a new woman working who told me there was one spot and if I got there first, he could come. I’m like “I’m not showing up with the kid and then telling him no.” Also, I’m the best paying customer they ever had so give my kid the spot. He’s officially signed up and so excited.

Sorry for the shitty morning weddingwedding and jewels we really like our dentist, he's right in our neighborhood and he does orthodontics so it's a one-stop-shop. I think he might regret the one big payment for everything plan with C. I picture it like Homer and the all-you-can-eat buffet and nearly putting that place out of business.

Yay for the spot kim22! And yes, when you give then so much $$$ it shouldn't be that hard to hold a slot for you. Glad it worked out.

She was supposed to get a palate expander but the supplies didn't arrive. Yes M’s mouth is a mess, too. They wanted to refer him to orthodontist in May, but I said I would wait until after the move. I slacked on making an appointment, so he should have went in October, but his appointment isn’t until after Christmas. He has big teeth that he gets from Mh’s side and his little mouth is overcrowded. He’ll probably need the same- pallet expansion then braces. I’m mentally preparing to shell out $$$ for his dental work.

I’ll have to get Apple plus back after I finish catching up on everything. All these damn streaming services.

I think I got the boys covered minus stocking stuffers as far as gifts go. That is a load off of me and I don’t think I’ve ever been done before December. I think I’ll stick with this rule of 4 from now on.
I ran to storage to grab some decorations and our elf that will show up Dec. 1st. Also grabbed some stuff to wrap the gifts for our angel tree kids.
I really need to start dinner before I have to get M2 from school.

Question- I’ve heard the second season isn’t as good. Have you watched? Just watched the first episode of season 2. It's okay. I'll see where they're going with things. It'll be hard to beat the first season finalé. I know this sounds weird, but I have a feeling IRL Jennifer Anniston is a bit odd and quirky, but a good person. So I'm always rooting for her and I hope the show continues strong.

lahdeedah I just got most of the stocking stuffers this morning. A toy store downtown has a bunch of fidgets. I'm going to get a little bit of candy to go in then I'll be done with that. I'm getting M a book set on Amazon today that's on sale (Wings of Fire) and I need to see what Cass needs in the ___ (Pug/Unicorn/Owl) Diaries series. The I think I'm done other than my mom.
