tgrimes I’m also sorry that you guys live with a system that makes you need to worry about work and money at times like these. That just sucks big time.

Negative Nancy just said Smokey the Secretary makes better queso than most restaurants. It's Velveeta and Rotel. That isn't better than most, if any, restaurants. WUT? She's broken.

I really wish the new teller would learn to use the freaking phone so customers aren't pissed off by the time they reach me! She keeps dropping my calls. I explained how to transfer and she swears thats what she's doing. I don't believe her.

That’s awful tgrimes. I hope he’s pain free soon. It sucks that it happened right before Christmas, poor guy.

Today is H’s Christmas party/last day before Christmas at school. I signed up to help during the party so MIL is going to come over to watch S for me. H has started watching this show on Netflix called Masha and the Bear. It’s all in Russian with subtitles. I think it’s weird but she really likes it 🤷🏻♀️ O loves Masha. There is an English version on Netflix. He originally started watching the Russian version on YouTube kids. Exact same. He started on Youtube, but watches the English version now on Netflix.

Awful, tgrimes. I hope the treatment works quickly and his pain goes away. How is your sister holding up? They have other kids too, right? Yes, she has 4 kids. So far she’s okay. She’s freaking out about how much this is going to cost her. I keep telling her to call the insurance co to find out since she already met the out of pocket max with him earlier this year. If it were me, I’d want to know. Otherwise it’s just one more thing to stress about, you know? Tell her to just “let it go”. I know, easier said than done. But I had those worries too after S spent the first 6 weeks of her life in the Hospital with 4 brain surgeries. But I didn’t even think twice about it once I “let it go”. I focused on S. We didn’t even get the first bill for several months after she was out. Then we just made payments on it...we still make payments on it. We call it our “tab” (like a bar tab) instead of a bill since it never really ends, because as soon as we pay it down another surgery happens or mri or eeg or the multiple dr visits...they just keep adding to the tab. Also, depending on how they are financially, they may qualify for some financial assistance from the hospital. We make too much money for it most of the time, but a few years ago, I applied while I was laid off and we got about $1500 knocked off our total. I was shocked because I thought even with just MH’s salary we would not qualify. But they take into account all of your outgoing expenses too. So when I listed out all our bills (mortgage, cars, phones, internet, tv, credit cards, everything) vs what we made, we got a little reprieve.

O loves Masha. There is an English version on Netflix. He originally started watching the Russian version on YouTube kids. The spooky story one is in English but the regular one that she’s watching now is in Russian. I even tried changing the settings. He watches this one. Its 3 seasons of it and it’s definitely in English.

Hi everyone. I’m just back from a Xmas lunch at one of our other buildings. The fun part was that mh was there too so we got to hang out together. It’s already starting to resemble ghost town status around here so I’m thinking it’ll be a calm afternoon.

Oh gosh tgrimes, I hope the new plan works quickly, poor kid. If your sister is a teacher, I'd think insurance should be good? I hope so. snoopmommymom I demand a birthday redo! Poop woes are the worst, that sounds hard for everyone involved. I know your h doesn't like treating it, but he's in pain and constipation is a slippery slope and can stretch out their colon. My friend has her almost 5 year old in therapy bc she withholds still😟. Re Shows: Do any of your kids like SuperWhy on PBS? J gets so into it, we catch him answering the questions. He seems to be better after watching PBS shows than movies, it's so interesting.

It’s all math and patterns so I think it’s great.

Random vegan question cagoldi. When you make something that calls for eggs do you use flax eggs? I was just watching a recipe video and they used flax eggs, so I was intrigued.

Happy birthday @sweetpotatoe and chrisy01! snoopmommymom you definitely get a bday do over. Tell your dh to knock it off. I spent the morning volunteering in Landon’s class (2nd grade) so fun, but so exhausting. Now I’m watching vanderpump rules and eating cereal. Dh is working late tonight so I plan on making a fancy dinner of Mac and cheese for the kids and putting on a Christmas movie.

Ok, so someone on my FB feed (a family member) shared this video. I responded with the first 3 paragraphs of wikipedia because this is the most uneducated biased peace of shit! The videos on this sight are shocking. "How do islamist become extremists?" "Are the police racist?" This video is all about how the Democratic Party has been the seat of social injustice since it's inception. Bonus because they killed Abe Lincoln www.prageru.com/playlists/most-popular#4I saw enough at Prager U. Typical pseudo intellectual, Right wing, Islamophobic nut.

I would stock up. Once I find something I like I hate switching. +1 I feel like all face washes are different and once you find one your face likes, stick with it! Agreed.

You guys. The girls woke up and went out to the living room without waking me up this morning. I woke up at 9, on my own. When I realized what time it was I ran out in a panic expecting chaos and everyone was fine. They were just sitting on the couch watching tv. Mom goals right there.

I put a password on M's ipad so he can't play without us knowing it. But then he wakes me up to turn it on.. I'm not sure who that punishes more.

We've never seen Super Why but I notice a major difference in Dude's behavior when he watches Daniel Tiger vs. PJ Masks or Paw Patrol.

Potluck keep shaving new foods. If I eat one more jalapeno popper(jalapeno, cream cheese, bacon) I will likely pop myself. But, every time I walk by the room they are sitting there and I grab another. Soooooo good.
