I have gotten zero phone calls and 1 email today, hours ago. I should text my boss and ask if I should shut down for the day but hey, he's the one who chose to be open even tho I'm the only one working. But, oh well. I'll take getting paid for playing with my kids all day

sands42 what are you in school for? Your BSN? I hope it gets easier and you settle into a routine with classes and homework.

nam2013 that was really nice of your coworkers! @sands24 I'm sorry things are stressful. Classes are hard and adding kids to the mix is no joke. I hope you get some relaxation or down time over the holidays

I’m sorry you’re feeling so overwhelmed right now sands42. Do you not get a Christmas break? How long are you in School for?

I expect I know the answer to this, but have any of you used an instant pot? I received one last night, and I can't wait to give it a go. Anything I should know? Any recipes floating around you can't live without? Too complicated for me. I looked through the instructions that were thicker than a driving manual and tried some beans. Couldn't even get the thing to turn on. Nope. Don't have hours to devote to figuring out a new piece of equipment.

sands42 I'm sorry. You're a rockstar for being able to do all of this on your own. There's no way I'd be able to, if I were in your shoes.

I got my haircut next door and somehow got roped into helping her figure out how to transfer the title on a trailer she bought. Only 1 person in this chain of title filed any paperwork and the tax office is closed today. Why can't I just tell people no?!?!

Took Ace to the vet for a check on how he's doing. He has lost a bit of weight, but they aren't super concerned. Should have his blood results back next week. We're headed to the movies in a bit to see Shape of Water. Cadence's DC closes at 3 today, so we'll pick her up then . It's raining and gross. I just want to stay in bed and binge Netflix. LMK what you think of the movie. Pete loves Guillermo del Toro.

Thank you guys for the kind words! I really appreciate it. peachsmama Yes I’m getting my BSN. I only have my associates. It’s dumb. I have my nursing license. But they are moving towards making a BSN required to practice. trtlcrzy. No break. It’s online so I just work right through everything 😭 I need like 45 credits or something. I’m not sure how long it will end up taking me because I know I’m going to want to take a month off here and there!

My boss dropped of the presents. My secret Santa got me a really nice vintage serving plate. My other coworkers got me shower mouse, special cake mix, chocolate, a face mask, a bath bomb, hot cocoa set, bath oil. All so sweet, I feel spoiled!

cagoldi it was ok. I felt some scenes we're ridiculous and unnecessary, but overall it was between ok and good.

I think MH threw away one of our gifts on accident. It was just a photo ornament for my parents, so nothing huge at least. Still a bummer though.

kim22 chrisy01 cagoldi do any of you want a moby? I have a blue one I used with ryland, but someone sent me another one in a color I like better. I really liked it for when they are little, if anyone wants it pm me your address and I’ll send it to you! (Or anyone else who wants a moby or knows someone who could use it!) ETA wineallthetime I knew I was forgetting someone!! Sorry!!

At the grocery and omg. I may die here.. the lines are all the way through the first set of aisles. Every register is open. I went this afternoon too. Such a bad idea, but probably better than tomorrow. Standing in line to check out (with no grocery list), I realized I never asked my mom what I need to take to Christmas Eve. I hope she just tells me wine.
