J went through a short phase of saying mom but pretty much always says mommy & daddy now. If he is talking about us he says 'my mom' or 'my dad'. M seems to use mommy/mama/mom equally, and daddy.

There are some adults in my extended family who still say Mommy and Daddy 😬😬.
My kids both say mom and dad right now. I think it’s because that’s how MH & I refer to each other when we speak to them.

My mom called her parents Mother and Father. My kids still call us Mama and Dada. When do “mom and dad” or “mommy and daddy” start? I would prefer Mama “mah muh” more than “muh muh.” The kids go back and forth between Mama and Mommy usually.

I've been awake for a solid hour now, but the kids have told S and I we aren't allowed in the main area, so I'm stuck upstairs. They are definitely cooking something, but I have no idea what, LOL. They are being super cute, but very mysterious

I would prefer Mama “mah muh” more than “muh muh.” It starts but...I dont believe M refers to us as mama or mommy with her friends, she says "my mom" (not sure how or if she distinguishes). But directly to us is still mama and mommy...I told her she's welcome to say mom if she wants. Do you model dad/daddy? I feel like if you say dada in reference to him thats just how it will go. I say mom and dad.

I just bought so many things I've been putting off - and lots of stuff I usually get used, but I have no ability to get to thrift stores lately. They close early, I have no time without kids.
Snow pants for myself and H, a few christmas presents, sneakers for M, my favorite tea, etc etc.
Sorry, credit card!

It’s so hard to go thrifting lately. We only have one two in town and they are both fairly small and limiting customers. I went early one day last week and was in line for 40 minutes and still left empty handed.
There are a lot of things I’ve had to buy new that I’d rather buy second hand.

I just cracked my second one of these and they are amazingly delicious. I don't really drink beer anymore but these are special.

I started packing today- just to declutter before we list and my gosh is it fun to put shit in boxes and know I won't have to deal with it for 2+ months. Even my kids happily packed away a lot of their toys and I could hear a hallelujah chorus playing in my head. I love it.

My best friend ordered us a mini deep freeze as our family Christmas present. I really desperately needed some more freezer space so I'm so excited and already making plans to fill it up lol. And I have a list for after hubby goes back to work of meals and things to buy extras of when they're on sale. Is this what they call adulting? lol

I am now obsessed with poaching quail eggs in the broth when I make ramen. It's so easy to crack in a few eggs, and they cook so quickly.

I'm not running to get a covid test because....I don't go anywhere and neither me nor anyone in my family has been notified that they've been exposed (and our schools do some pretty intense contact tracing). If I got feverish or coughing I would.

I have to get one Bc I got sent home from work for coughing and can’t go back till I get a test. I’m mostly the same as you but my chest feels tight. And I get out of breath easily.

TW**pregnancy talk * * * * * * * We found out this morning that baby 3 is a BOY. L is going to be so upset; she has been firmly team sister from the start. I'm hoping if I talk up the exclusivity of just her and I in the girl's club, she'll feel better about it. We shall see how it goes tonight!

I burned my tongue on soup last night. Not terribly, but enough that I can't taste things very well today. So that freaks me out, despite knowing the reason.
So of course now my jaw/neck feels sore and I am extra tired. I know that I have been clenching my teeth a lot lately. But really... I blame the pandemic for all of it.
