tgrimes did I miss why you need a test? Are you not feeling well or is for a procedure? I'm back in the office today. 5 days home with H and E was plenty! E stayed home again today. Her cough is still bad, plus sore throat and headache. The school does not require the negative test result, which seems so weird to me! Especially since I specifically said she was staying home yesterday because we were waiting on the results.

I’m not sure about this one but it will be removed with the lump, so it’s not an issue. Although I do fee the need to tell everyone I come into contact with that their conversation might be recorded…by my boobies.

Today is the last day of November (wtf?) and that means tonight Mrs. Claus brings her gift of a fully stocked advent calendar, Christmas pjs, gingerbread house, various holiday crafts and crap of the sort. I THINK I have everything, but I'm no where near prepared for this. I'm hoping I can get my shit together while Cadence does her online escape room with her gs troop tonight to get it all together and while she's in the shower I'll pop it on the front porch, ring the bell and feign surprise all while wiping the sweat from my brow. Oh and Snowflake (the elf) comes tomorrow. Where the hell did I hide that thing last year?

Wow! Bionic boobs! That sounds like James Bond level stuff. I hope the procedure goes well tgrimes. mwhip our school didn't care about the girls' negative tests either. It was weird. But they did make them stay away for 10 days due to exposure. klong11 I'm intrigued by the online escape room. How does that work? I bet M would love that.

Busy day ahead. Just finished with a patient and it was heavy...whew.
The girls get their second shot today (wahoo!), but a team member is sick so I need to cram in one of his patients amidst the craziness.

I feel like if she had a sibling I wouldn't do as much, but since it is just her I try to make it as fun as possible for her.
The elf just came around last year due to covid and not being able to be around her friends. It gave her someone to talk to

I put our box together yesterday. I've been picking up things here and there over the past few weeks because last year I didn't do after Christmas shopping like I wanted to. I have to remind myself that I need to hit up the sales after Christmas this year to pick up things like socks and headbands and bracelets to put in the box. Last night I got real about holiday shopping and decided I was going to bang it all out today. I got almost everything either ordered or purchased. We decided to get a switch for the kids, so I'm left with a couple of games to pick up for them, and one or two more things for each kid to balance out how many things they'll each open.

Came downstairs and swore I put him away inside dhs stocking, or at least that’s what I told myself would be his yearly hiding spot. Anyway, wasn’t there so we had to search through the Christmas totes and finally found him. I just bought some cheap chocolate advent calendars at Aldi to give them tomorrow. We haven’t decorated anything besides a tiny tinsel tree because of the remodel. Hoping to be able to put up our big tree the week of Christmas at least.

I am anxiously waiting to pick up Lola from her spay surgery. I was on a call this morning and my cleaning lady is here and she flushed the toilet while I wasn't muted (my fault). The guy laughed and I had to explain that I wasn't on the toilet. My mom also came by to drop off C's advent calendar. She went hard bitching about my grandma. I faked a conference call to get her to leave.

Just got home. The dry wall guy is here fixing my bathroom ceiling where the plumber fell through a few weeks ago. I was at the school all day for Santa Shop. 99% of the kids are so cute and sweet- but man. There are a few that I feel sorry for their teachers... My dad kept Mallory and Jackson for me. Mallory just fell asleep so I'm leaving her there for now. I'll go up in a few once I get Matthew from the bus stop.
The dry wall guy also paints so I had him look at Mallory's room because I need the ceiling and walls done and don't want to do it myself. Especially with A gone and no help with MJ. My friend who paints (but doesn't have time right now) told me not to pay more than $250. He quoted me $350. I told him no and he said $275. So I'm doing it. Hopefully it looks great. I have everything for her room except her mattress. So once it's painted I need to get that.

Man today has been busy. Since we're down to 2 at work of course we've been slammed. The girls are fully vaxxed though! Horseback riding got cancelled. Cass always takes it so hard. They've had a lot of issues so a lot of cancellations lately. Hopefully we can reschedule for this weekend.

I got observed at work for the first time at the new school today. Then we had parent conferences. I have a kid who has told me 3 times he is really sad because his uncle got hit by a car and died. He gives details about an ambulance taking him to the hospital and he survived a few days but then he died. I asked the mom about it today and I’m happy to report not a word of it was true.
Had to pick DS up from one practice and drop him at another. Waiting for him to come out of that one now. He was super excited that 3 kids in the hall asked him if he’s they freshmen on the hockey team. After all the year of anxiety with him, it’s so nice to see him so happy.

kim22 damn kids can be so dark and weird. When MH taught Pre-K a kid told him a sob story about his dad being dead...then her dad picked her up. Very much alive. 🙃

There was a high school shooting here today. Not in my city but close to my parents house. So far a few students died. Makes me sick how common these things are, which obviously I know you all are in the same boat with those feelings.

kim22, my sister was just telling me that my niece who is five said her friend told her that her dad died in a shark diving accident in Mexico. My sister is pretty sure her dad is actually still alive and still married to her mom but unsure. Kids are something else.

mamabear how are you guys surviving quarantine? We're okay. Feeling better so now juggling working from home with 2 kids and a baby. And realizing there is a lot of variation in quarantine rules between schools and even doc offices, which is frustrating. I'm actually really sad guys bc I have absolutely no sense of smell and I'm scared it won't come back. I know statistically it should but I keep hearing stories about people who can barely smell months later...all I can think of is smelling my baby and it makes me tear up. It'll come back! But as someone who lost their sense of smell when I was 5, it's really weird and sometimes sad but it will be okay!!! I really think you'll get it back though.

inthekitty update on escape room: it's weird. It's like a guided scavenger hunt/mystery solving game. The chick in charge is walking them through basically logic puzzles to figure out who kidnapped some children on Halloween. Right now they are figuring out how to cross a pool of acid..... The girl interacts with the background with prerecorded videos and then talks to the girls in real life. The girls seem to enjoy it though.
