My mom called last night to tell me my dad is in the hospital. They are monitoring his heart and giving him medication so that he can hopefully have an angiogram later this week. I don't think he's in any imminent danger, but it's hard to know for sure. And it's difficult to get any detailed information from my mom, as she is so insistent on only being positive. It's times like these when I wish I lived close to my parents.

tinydancer that’s tough. I hope you get more detailed (good) news soon. Dd was up from 2:30-6:45. Ahhhhh. She went back to sleep for two hours after so I came to work late. I am soooo tired. Ready for the holidays!

Your dad is in my thoughts tinydancer. I hope you get more info soon! I can’t imagine been far away during times like that. Definitely makes things harder.

I for one am definitely not ready for the holidays and I have no idea why. Normally I am so ready and excited. This year, I dunno. I’m kinda dreading it. I’m trying to figure out how to slow things down to avoid the stress and not hemorrhage $$$.

The night before last dd2 slept horribly, Then was up for the day at 4:30. A few hours later I realized she was sick, and she spent the day with a hacking cough and snotty nose.
This morning I got up and discovered dd1’s bed empty, sheets stripped and in a laundry basket, and her special blanket soaking wet I the bathtub. She and my H are still asleep in our room. So it looks like she was throwing up overnight.
Things are shaping up to be an extra fun thanksgiving around here.

tinydancer - I hope you some more concrete info about what’s going on with your dad soon. That would be hard to live far away when stuff like that happens.

I wouldn't mind M's obsession with ballet, if she would stop trying to make other people help her. It's frustrating when I'm trying to do something and she starts yanking on my arm so I can spin her, and then she gets frustrated when I don't do it her way. Plus she has a habit of dropping her self onto your arm for a dip when you aren't necessarily ready and that hurts.

Oops. Hit post before I was done lol.
I'm trying to figure out what to wear to H's company Christmas party. On one hand, I don't want to buy something New, since I'm trying to lose weight and will hopefully not fit the same size in a few month. But on the other hand, I hate all of my clothes, except for a couple of sweaters and jeggings, and it's a semi formal event (they say, but specify they only really mean no jeans). Blah

tinydancer I hope your dad is having ok! It’s tough being far away and feeling like you’re missing part of the story. scorpioscuba I am not ready either. I thought we were doing well keeping cost in line, but now I’m feeling like everything is $$. nellieoleson dinner was great! I enjoyed it, dh hardly ate. He’s still struggling with what he believes is salmonella poisoning. He’s hardly eaten. I have no much food here and no one eating it. And he’s still not real helpful. I unloaded on him about how tired I am and how much effort I put into making this week nice and that I need HELP. He’s stepped up a bit. My bff left today and dhs parents come tomorrow. From helpful to hopeless.

tinydancer will be thinking of your father. Add me to the not ready to holiday list. dizzycooks it sounds a bit like a last name to me (but I know someone with that last name) so biased.

kcrkcs that surprises me. I had a student with this name a few years back, but ran across it on a name list. Struggling with N names... Also, re vacation. I’m kind of loving not having a to do list this week. Tomorrow my ILs are coming (oh joy) and I need to run a load of laundry. That’s it. And feed people. So nice to not be “productive” or running all over town. Tonight I put ham berries on my nails.

Love the jams dizzycooks! I've been eyeballing that wrap forever. I have some on now, but I can't post pics because I fail. They have new easier to apply wraps out now too, they last about 3 days instead of 10-14.

dizzycooks I don't think it's a bad name in any case,just an observation. I am so glad it to be having another kiddo just to not have to go through the naming anxiety again! I am sure you guys will pick a great one. Keep enjoying that vacation!

Thoughts on the name nada.lyn? Is it too similar to Nat.alie? Thoughts are that it is too similar to Natalie, sounds made up, and would probably get misread as Madelyn constantly. That said, if you named your kid that I wouldn’t completely side eye it or anything. Do all your girls have N names?

Speaking of baby names, a girl in dd1’s preschool class has a new sibling named Wyatt. It’s a girl.
I was really hoping that was going to stay limited to Ashton Kutcher’s kid. 😒

There are like 3 girls named Ryan at S's school. I despise boy's names on girls, unless it's a nickname for a girl's name, like Sam for Samantha. But only if the girl actually has the full name, because I also don't like nicknames as full names. I'm very picky. dizzycooks it's NMS, and I agree with Nellie it sounds a lot like Natalie and will definitely be "corrected" to Madelyn a lot, I think people will think it's a typo

Sometimes when I look at how my husband loaded dishes in the dishwasher I wonder if he even understands how the machine works.
Anyway.
Happy thanksgiving, lovely ladies! 🍁
