We just all get to see who your favourites are... EEEK!! No favorites!!! But seriously, I just actually figured it out - I include cards with the gift cards I buy for teachers/day care/etc. and this year it was so many b/c there are 6 after care counselors. I decided I will just give the aftercare (high school kids) generic cards. I don't think they will care. This should work!! |

I addressed all my cards today, but forgot about stamps, so I will pick those up after work and have them in the mail tomorrow. Cards for everyone! guster did you decide about your cards? I wanted to tell you that I used to be picky about the cards I sent out and I’ve lowered my standards in the past couple years because I never have my shit together early enough to get them on time. I now do Walgreens photo cards. 😂 Cheap and fast- I got them half priced this year! |

I didn't do cards cause I'm the worst. If I can do a card, then literally anyone can do a card. I couldn't even figure out how to change the camera to the other direction when recording vino's video today... |

Everyone’s cards were mailed today. I sent vino proof so we’ll see how quickly the post office delivers. The clock has started. MH obsessively checks the mailbox every day, so we'll know the exact day and possible time, since he's off on vacation until Jan 5th and bored as hell already. Mine will go out Friday. I think. I’m commenting here bc we so rarely check the mail. It’s probably once a week at most or more likely when the usps brings the mail down to us bc there is package too large to fit in the box |

I check my mail daily. I don't know why...as an adult there is nothing exciting in it anymore, it's just bills and trash. But for some reason, I always get excited to get it.

I use their app to check to see what was delivered to help decide if I want to walk the couple hundred feet to the box or not. #lazy

Hi! I’m awake from night 2 of overnights. Tonight is my last night for this week. I’m off tomorrow and then back at 6am on Friday. I technically have to use a vacation day tomorrow to get the day off but I have quite a few built up so it’s nbd.

It’s C’s 2nd birthday today. I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already! He’s currently sleeping on me because he’s sick again. I left work early to take DD to her follow up at the neurologist. She can’t take the meds they want to give her until I get her cleared by a cardiologist because she has a heart murmur. C needs a pulmonologist. DS gets his braces on tomorrow. We are a mess.

Happy birthday to C kim22I check the mail almost daily. I didn’t get yesterday’s mail until this morning. I also have the informed delivery so I’m more apt to actually get the mail in a timely fashion if I know there’s something I want in it. |

Hey. I have had a long day. None of my children wanted to cooperate with anything at all. S threw a fit about her shoes so she was late to school, which made me late for my dentist appt. H threw a massive fit this evening about tv so that’s done for the night. Less than 2 hours till bedtime. I can do it!

I didn't do cards cause I'm the worst. Nah. I normally have gotten a bunch by this time in December and this year we've gotten a whopping 2 (one of those was from my sister). So I think you are in a boat with a lot of people! Unless I have just been dropped by everyone we know. Hmm. eta: I didn't join in the n13 exchange...next year I will participate! I had already ordered by the time I saw it, b/c I am the worst at checking the main thread list. |

It’s probably once a week at most or more likely when the usps brings the mail down to us bc there is package too large to fit in the box How far away is your mailbox? Our mail comes through our front door slot, so there is no avoiding it. I also get an email with scanned images of my mail so I can preview what's coming, but I enjoy getting it unless bills are involved. I do love the holiday season though! |

We have informed delivery, too, so I can see what’s coming. I find I throw out/recycle 99% of our mail. |

Add me to barely getting any cards yet. So weird.
I have 2 kinds of cookie dough in the freezer and a batch of fudge setting, which will go in the freezer if I can get it out of the pan. FX! I'm not sure how much else I will do, to be honest. We'll see.
It was nice having Col home all day, even if it did keep me from binging on Hallmark movies. I don't know how much longer he'll cuddle with me on the couch to watch Magic School Bus, so I am enjoying it while it lasts.

I've only gotten 2 cards as well, I think people just get them or later, I noticed this last year as well. It's are at Costco for pickup, so they probably won't be mailed u til next week.
I just did my first peloton ride and feel a bit ridiculous, but will give it a solid try for the month.
J has a roller skating party on Sat. Is it extra of me to make him wear a helmet? He's never been. Anyone follow Eva Love's TBI recovery on Instagram? A 7 year old fell off a golf cart and it is brutally heartbreaking, her mom owns a print shop - - Lindsay letters.
