I’m stalking my mailman bc I want to leave his Christmas gift in the mailbox, but not if it’s his day off and someone is filling in. So I’m currently camped out at the dining room table to keep an eye out the front window.
And DH probably wonders what I do all day...

Morning, first day of Christmas break today. S was crying and whining at me all morning that she was so hungry, so I made pancakes and she won’t eat. Damn kids. My SI joint is killing me so I’m currently laying on a heating pad, waiting for my ibuprofen to kick in. MIL is picking H up after lunch to take her to a Christmas activity.

Morning. Busy morning here at work and I’m tired! I took a unisom last night before bed so I could sleep well and I was still so tired this morning. Guess I should have taken a half, whoops! I was pretty productive last night, but I feel like I still have to do a good bit tonight, including packing. I should have taken a whole day off so I could have time to really relax while the kids are gone. Oh well!
They are having fun with my family, so my worries are out the door now. Hope everyone has a great day!

slenle Did your couch fit down the stairs? Are you all done your basement reno now? nam2013 Any new update from the operation yesterday? The couch fit! And we are 99% done. Just a few touch ups and finishing touches. Maybe I’ll make an AW thread later today!

Last day of work for the week! I only work 2 days each of the next two weeks and am very excited for the down time. We'll go to my parents either tonight or tomorrow morning. We're supposed to have another storm tonight so if it hits we'll definitely drive tonight because no since sitting around our house if we lose power again (twice in a week already).
100 days until our Disney World trip. Lol. That means only 126 until the N13 gathering.

chrisy01 I have a friend going to DL this week. She's exclusively pumping and was worried about how she was going to manage that while at the park. I told her it was pretty family friendly and she shouldn't have an issue. Do you have any tips or certain restrooms that are easier to pump in than others?

I told her it was pretty family friendly and she shouldn't have an issue. Do you have any tips or certain restrooms that are easier to pump in than others? We have the baby centers in each park! They have outlets to pump, changing table room and toddler toilets that even dads can take kids in! Most bathrooms in park don’t have convenient outlets for safety reasons (they power wash at night). If she has a hand pump she can pump almost anywhere. The cast members/employees are all told not to disturb mothers feeding/pumping and if the see/overhear another guest harassing a mother about it they *should* go over and stop the guest who is harassing. I know when I go through the security checkpoints with E the security officers usually tell me about the mothers room. If she has any other questions feel free to give her my number and I will be happy to answer her questions. Just make sure she says she’s your friend so I don’t get paranoid Edit: the baby centers also have a space to nurse and sells basic diapering products in case they run out as well. Surprisingly the products are not that expensive.

I got a text from my coworker that they were slowly waking him up this afternoon and that doctors said he’s doing amazingly well! She said it is scary to see her son hooked up on all those machines, which I can only imagine.

Hi hi - awaiting a huge monsoon here and high winds tonight, blerg. We have broken a record for rain in a year and I'm over it. I am about to run to the store to get presents for teachers. Every year I debate if I just do the PTA donation gift or if I do something extra..and I always cave and do something extra at the last minute. I may do Uber gift cards and wine? All the girls use Uber to commute occasionally. Or if I had time, J's teachers would love Madewell GC, but I'm not walking that far in the rain or giving enough for it to buy anything substantial. Also someone send help to get house ready for company please...the spare room is still covered in Goodwill piles and boxes. My sis arrives tomorrow 😱

@sands & trtlcrzy, Murderville Georgia is an excellent podcast. Only one episode in, so far, but I really like it.

Between binging Fuller House last weekend, just finishing A Shoe Addicts Christmas and now A Christmas Detour, I feel like Candace Cameron Bure is right here in my living room.

Hi! Sitting in the car waiting to pick up DD. DS1 was still home sick today but DH worked from home so I ran errands with C, met some friends for lunch, then got C’s 1 year old blood draw done (he was excellent and the woman got the vein no problem). It’s starting to rain and it’s suppose to rain several inches. We had a few things to do tonight but canceled since DS is sick so I’m happy to just stay in with this weather.
