Snack table live blog My Director brought in the cinnamon buns that he makes. They are DELICIOUS! Make sure you tell him! mwhip will tell you he'd appreciate that. Yes! The girl I work with that I brought I cinnamon roll to today told me how good they were, so I'm bringing her in one again tomorrow!

The selective hearing drives me insane especially. I KNOW YOU HEAR ME! S recently started the most annoying habit. When I am repeating myself and I start to get annoyed, he'll say "My ears, I understand" in this weird voice. It must be from a show or something. I'm like "I know you understand, but you're not doing it!! If you just did it, I'd stop repeating myself!!!!!!" If I start to raise my voice B covers his ears. Funny how they seem to work at full-capacity when I'm mad but they don't the previous 299 times I told him to do something.

I still can’t believe you made cinnamon rolls from scratch mwhip! That is so ambitious. At least your coworker was appreciative! 🙌🏼

I ordered E a Barbie house from Toys R Us on Black Friday. Received notification on 12/2 that it had shipped. I realized last week that it hadn't yet delivered, but thought I'd give it to the end of the week. Checked it again Saturday and there has been no movement on the shipment, like the label was created and never scanned. I tried to call TRU Saturday evening and sat on hold, finally gave up. So I checked it again this morning, still no movement. Called customer service and sat on hold for 25 minutes, and realized I could do an online chat. Started talking to someone online, so after no one answered my call after 29 minutes, I hung up since I thought the online chat would get me answers.
Nope, all he could tell me was that their system shows it shipped and should have delivered by 12/7, but since it hadn't, I needed to contact their customer service number. The same one I was on hold with for 29 minutes. I called back, after 14 minutes of being on hold, I chose the option for a call back.
Someone called me back and I explained what was going on. He asked me if I wanted it shipped again. WELL IT NEVER SHIPPED THE FIRST TIME, SO YES. I have confirmation of a new order, but this is the shittiest customer service. I can see why they are filing for bankruptcy.

There was a fancy judges luncheon today, which means we get the leftovers. I just ate a bunch of eggplant parm. So good but my stomach is less than thrilled.
Also I had reading today and the boy I read to was so sad he won't see me the two weeks during school vacation. I almost teared up.

My dress for the Christmas party just came! And fits! Now I just need earrings. And maybe new shoes.

At least your coworker was appreciative! 🙌🏼 I really enjoy cooking and baking (which is obvious from my size) and I like when people enjoy the things I make, which makes me want to do it more. But when it goes completely unappreciated, it makes me just not give a shit. So Shana gets ALL the extra cinnamon rolls from my house!

I can see why they are filing for bankruptcy. Yeah, I had to do a chat with them b/c we were trying to figure out when B's bike would ship. They literally couldn't tell me anything about the estimated date, etc. It did finally go out and arrive at her house but it was like pulling teeth trying to deal with them. Hope the Barbie house arrives soon!

I need to quit doing the exasperated sigh be Josie does now, too. cagoldi, Josie was far less active than Charlie. He moved day and night, and she was really only active once I got into bed and then once I was a sleep, I guess she was, too?

Well now I’m upset. DC called and said that another kid hit B on the back of the head. It was on purpose and unprovoked. I was trying to grill the teacher for more details and she said B was not targeted; the kid was having a tantrum and hit B among others. He was removed from the classroom (for now). But that’s all they would say. I feel so bad for her.

I HATE TRU cust svc mwhip. They are literally the absolute worst. I had packages that also went awry and this was early Nov, so before their holiday shipping was in full swing. Nearly 30min on the phone and they decided the best course of action was for me to reorder. I didn’t want to bc if the packages didn’t get to me the first time, what reassurance did I have they’d get to me a second time. I had to fight tooth and nail w them for a refund.

I paid via Paypal, so if nothing shows up in a week, I'm disputing the charges. I was irritated that they didn't offer to pay for expedited shipping or a credit of any kind. I should have just told him to change to in store pick up. Lesson learned though.

I predict you will have 2 Barbies houses in your near future mwhip I won't even bother contacting TRU about it either, if this does happen. Not worth my time if they are this damn stupid! If it delivers before Christmas and there are two, I'll donate the 2nd one to Toys for Tots or some local charity.

I'm sorry for the rough start vino and I feel your pain. I'm right there with you about the 4yo not listening and sounding like a broken record. Why won't they just listen? Everytime I put him in timeout he yells "but I'm gonna listen!" The words have lost all meaning. He's stopped doing that, but he used to always say, "But I WANT to listen!!" I'm like, then just F*CKING LISTEN!!

Cadence just likes to stare blankly at you when you ask her to do something, or ask her a question. Or just straight up say "no" and walk away.

cagoldi , is your anatomy scan this week?? Tomorrow! I'm excited. It's with the high risk OB because I'm AMA and high risk. Pete and my mom are going. Question for the moms with both a boy and girl, did you feel like the girls were less active? I'm only 19 weeks tomorrow but I feel her moving a lot less than either of the boys at this age. No. M was all over the place all the time. I think it's because she's nosy and always wants to be in your business.

tgrimes I don't know how you don't yell at your mom, I wouldn't tolerate the bullshit. You are a better person than I am. Well, she can be violent at times so we usually keep our mouths shut or choose our words wisely. Although my sister has gotten more blunt over the past couple years. She made me promise I'd share half if they write her out of the will.
