I'm at the office trying to get as much done as possible since I'll be out the next 2 days.

Our elf came this morning. M had written a letter to Santa Clause before Thanksgiving that she wanted him to come earlier this year. She was so excited to see him this morning. She said when her & H were breaking the wishbone of the Turkey at my sisters' house, that she wished for Covid to be over, instead of the elf coming earlier. But was so happy that the elf letter worked.
Made me get teary eyed that her wish was for covid over the elf.

Both kids have their first shot this afternoon. I called to make sure they could move around the appointment and be done at the same time so Josie can get to tap class after the fact. The Walgreens in our neighboring town has been wonky (according to the Facebook posts on the moms pages and closes whenever it wants.) I was so happy to be able to schedule appointments for them. I hope nothing changes by 420.

Happy hump day people!
Our elf came last night, too. He bought the envelopes for the North Pole so the kids can send their list. After I thought I was done Christmas shopping, M2 is stuck on wanting a vacuum. 🤦🏽♀️ We had 2 little ones that I gave away when we moved. He uses our big vacuum all the time when we need to vacuum but I guess he still wants his own little one. I want to get him the one with real suction, but the kid ones say the suction isn’t that great. I’m about to go in Walmart and see if there is a compact one small enough to work for him. 🤷🏽♀️😂

We got an email yesterday that N was exposed at school. (Surprisingly the first one of the year for us) Last day of exposure was 11/19🤦🏻♀️ so I’m pretty sure we’re in the clear 11 days later, but thanks for letting us know we could have exposed our entire family over thanksgiving!
It’s cabinet install day!!! I may have been pacing in front of the windows all morning waiting for them to show up. But, they only have the cabinet frames today. Doors and drawers needed another coat of paint, so hopefully by Friday!

I'm jealous of your cabinets! We are waiting to hear about our install date as everything hinges on that date for our updated closing.

I'm feeling crappy. Not sure if it's the booster and flue shot or just sick (I was feeling a tad achy before the shots), so I'm spending the day in bed other than a zoom therapy appointment, L is still REALLY struggling to separate from me so I want his take.

Didn’t they first say October for closing? Wouldn’t that be great if you got to move in and have Christmas in your new home? Construction sucks. Lol

I did see one in Walmart that was a dust buster but with a roller on the end. I may show it to him later and see if he likes it. If not I found a compact one for $50 that may work. Lol

Wouldn’t that be great if you got to move in and have Christmas in your new home? Construction sucks. Lol HAHAHAHAHAHA! Seems like every week, it gets pushed back another week. When we signed the contract in March, it was an October date. Up to yesterday, it had been February 10th for a few weeks, but when we pushed, they confirmed a February 25 date. They won't fill in the calendar on the app they use so we have visibility, which our contract states they are supposed to notify us in writing and sign a document, that isn't happening. It's so annoying and I'm over it!

Just thinking about the fact that he wants a vacuum for Christmas and hasn’t backed down about it in weeks has me amused. I thought he would forget about it eventually.

Hope you have a great day peachsmama ! Shaking my head at 11 days to notify slenle . I'm not surprised though. It's really something that we're closing in on two years of the pandemic but so many places still don't have their shit together. Lolz at your vacuuming boy lahdeedah. Hopefully Santa has the Dustbuster hook-up.

SSDD here. I work this weekend and I'm already dreading it. This is my last at-home day this week (I have to work at the office for my regular job Thur and Fri) so I'm just trying to savor it.
Yesterday was insanely busy. I was working full speed every minute and barely got everything done in time. Today should hopefully be more manageable.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Nothing special today, I went to target this morning and got a coffee and a slice of lemon pound cake. Got the rest of what I need for Mrs. Claus Box which is showing up a day late. And Matthew has basketball practice tonight. Once I get Mallory down for a nap I'll just be working as long as I can. I'm sure Alex will take me out for my birthday once hes home. My kids are being terrors and didn't get the memo that they should be nice to me today 🤷♀️

I assume it’s because yesterday was N’s first day back since 11/19. 2nd and 3rd graders had an extra long thanksgiving break to let teachers transition to the new elementary school that was just built . So the kid probably didn’t show up for the first day back and that’s when they figured it out. But still!
