I'm up with the kids. MH has to go into work for a few hours, but will hopefully be home by lunch. MH told C they could make cupcakes and deliver them to all of his neighbor friends, so he's excited.

My work holiday party was last night. I ended up with one of the $100 Amazon gift cards from the Yankee swap and DH was social. I always have to stay until the end because I pay the bill but this one guy was drinking right until the end. He was such a funny drunk and he was Ubering it home, so I couldn't even complain, despite being exhausted and wanting to go home.

Morning, all! I'm going to a baby wearing meeting this afternoon, but other than that my day is wide open. I think I'll make my nephew some cookies, too. He just joined the air force over the fall and really misses home. Any baby news, xolastunicornxo?

Good morning. Just saw the news about the government shutdown. I am essential and we have the funds to pay me through 2/9. Not sure what happens after that but hopefully we don't find out. This does mean my boss won't be traveling next week as planned which means more work for me. What does this mean for our other government employees? inthekitty mskatiep lfig? I think most of us are essential but I wasn't sure. My dad on the other hand is not essential and is financially stable so he is gearing up for a nice break. Lucky! Today I have to go get a cavity filled while C is at swim with Dh. Then I have a haircut later and date night tonight. I'm also hoping to sneak a Target trip in to get some box hair color.

Eating breakfast and cleaning the kitchen. Taking the boys to the zoo in a little bit for Fiona the hippos 1st birthday party. It's 45 degrees so it shouldn't be to cold. Hopefully they'll nap good so I can bake cakes for my cousins baby shower that is tomorrow.

wedding thanks for the shutdown check-in. I've been wondering how our fellow federal industrial complex employees are faring as well. Lucky me our guidance was we have to come to work and just not get paid. It'll be retroactive at some point. I'm so sick of this BS and that those assholes in Congress still get paid to not do their job but I don't get paid when I do my job.

On a happier note--it's finally the weekend! I'd thought it'd never come. We have guests coming and honestly I'd just like a quiet weekend but it'll be nice to see our friends and play board games.

Morning!
Debating taking the kids to the aquarium today, but I got a little germ nervous. I'm not usually this way, but the flu outbreaks have really made me nervous for them, so we might've just hang here and play outside and do some crafts. It's supposed to be almost 45 degrees!

We have reserves to pay everyone until then.

I’m not sure what we are doing. I wanted to go to the zoo when the weather warms up like this but mh remind see me there is still snow on the ground so maybe next weekend? We need to go to the gym and try to take the kids to the babysitting service. They’ve never cooperated with going there but it’s been a while so we need to try again or stop paying for our kids’ gym membership.

Gymnastics, then possibly the park. I have an eye appointment later this afternoon. It's going to be in the high 70s today. Our weather is so odd.

Morning ladies! wedding we are funded into February also, so it doesn't negatively impact me right now. But we will see. I had my appointment for LASIK yesterday, but it was cancelled. Womp womp. I have a stye on my lower eyelid, of course it's the first one since I was a child. I spoke to two different nurses about it last week asking if I should postpone the procedure until it resolved. They both told me it wouldn't affect anything, but the surgeon refused the surgery yesterday. I was pretty disappointed and pissed that I took a day off of work and had my mom come into town for nothing. So my mom and I ended up running around all day. I introduced her to IKEA and Costco lol #newconvert. We also discovered a new store called Lakeshore Learning that while kinda expensive, had some really fun educational games/activities. I bought Layla a beginners microscope! Future scientist over here! Have you guys shopped there? Any big wins?

I should probably consider going for O.

My bff got here last night. It's the first time she has met my husband and we've been together for 10yrs. MH just let's me go on lots of girls weekends away ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I thought about going to the Arch but shutdown and women's march suggest we should do that another day. MH is not essential even though he is in the DoD but the 3 supervisors have to report to work on Monday. But he thinks that was a directive so impact would be minimal rather than them being essential. Have a good weekend everyone!

Morning!
Yay, gov't shutdown. No paycheck here, either, and I don't think they passed a continuing resolution to pay the military the way they did in '13. Dh will of course continue to work. Good times.
So we woke up in the middle of the night to a freezing house...guess whose heat went out last night?! It is currently in the upper 50s in here. Fortunately we have a gas fireplace and a space heater so we can keep the family room comfortable. DH stalked the mgt company and finally got ahold of someone (so much for that emergency #) and they are working on finding an HVAC company to come out today.
eta: also we have a date night tonight so I really want this heat turned back on so we can still go.

wedding, I remember the last shut down in 2013.... I was 8mo pg w B and suddenly mh was out of work! That was a little crazy but thankfully they paid him back for the time he would’ve been at work. I hope this one is quick and no one is affected negatively. Our DC sent out an email yday saying they would work w any families who are affected and allow reduced tuition payments.

Good morning! wineallthetime, Thank you for the tag yesterday, it’s practically impossible for me to keep up on work days but I’m doing good. I had my ultrasound yesterday but the tech wouldn’t tell me anything. They did an external and internal ultrasound and got images with both so I’m still assuming I’m around 5 weeks along. I have my first prenatal appointment with my doctor on the 29th so I’m just trying to be patient.

As you all know, this was his first week at the new job (he got out right before shutdown!) so he will know all of 5 ppl. Lol! We don’t care. We will still have a good time.

Hi guys! No baby unfortunately. After my rough night I took half a Benadryl again and actually got a decent night sleep, which I desperately needed! Dh is making waffles right now and then the oldest has a basketball game. The games at an elementary school about 1.5 miles away so I’m thinking I may walk while the rest of the fam drives. flamingo man, I cannot believe how much trouble you guys have with that house!! I’m so sorry! I’m sorry for all those affected by the shutdown. Dh isn’t, but since he works for the market he REALLY wants the baby to come this weekend so he doesn’t have to go to work on Monday, he says it’s going to be a shitshow.
