I booked L’s party. Now I’m just looking for a shirt for him and I’m pretty much done. I also need to finish Christmas shopping since the second half of my class has even more work and I’m already struggling keeping up.

Hiiii!
The boys have the day off since it's election day and we don't have any plans for a couple of hours, so I figured I would check in and say hi. I loved all the Halloween pics I saw on IG, I am just confused about who these old kids are?! Especially all the baby siblings who are very much kids. Sheesh.
Anyhow we're going to stop by the school to vote, grab Happy Meals for the boys (they have had them maybe twice so this is a BIG DEAL) and go mini golfing. Chase has his first basketball practice later and we'll do Taco Tuesday at home. It should be a nice day off!!

Hi joelies! Good to "see" you! S is off school and home with MH. B threw up last night, so he's home too. I'm 99% sure it's because he had a Reece's peanut butter cup. He had it and immediately said it felt weird. Then threw up 2 hours later and immediately felt fine. So I reached out to the allergist since he passed the peanut challenge.

Hi! No school due to election day so L is home. I'm running up to the school over lunch for parent/teacher conferences. Tonight there I'd an open house at day care/PreK, since parents still aren't allowed in the building during operating hours 😕 I want to purge toys and simultaneously teach L and A about giving to those in need. So far it's not going well...A started gathering up toys saying their mine and L was fine during the process and then later got upset about what we put in the box, which is still sitting here bc I'm not sure where to take them...goodwill? Any tips ? I donate some toys to our old day care and the boys like that because it's easier for them to understand then just random people. I also have a place that I donate for poor teen moms in a neighboring town. S really likes to go with me to drop off and the lady who runs the program sends pics so they like to see that. Dunno if that helps at all

mamabear - I hide the toys in the basement for a few months before dropping them at Goodwill, just to be safe. We really need a purge before the holidays!

Morning! Did I tell y’all we took on a new cat? His name is Stanley. He was my cousins. But he very much likes to explore outside and they live in a neighborhood that that doesn’t work well. He’s super sweet in general and for 2 weeks it has been no problem. But this morning he attacked our cat that we’ve had for 3.5 years, unprovoked. Several times. Any tips from the cat people here? wedding @klongoria inthekitty. Pic of Stanley and pic of both cats snoozing on Sierra’s bed. (Not thrilled about the cat on the pillow 🙄)

They were trying to keep my Dad in home hospice care as long as possible but they had to admit him last week. It was far too much for my Mom once he started to decline mentally and they can keep him a lot more comfortable there. The doctors said he wouldn't see the fall and at this point, it honestly seems cruel that he has. My poor Mom.

lfig ❤️❤️ Stanley! He looks so soft! How is that chocolate lab puppy doing? I need pics! mamabear I bring mine to our local Savers. They either give it right to Big Brothers Big Sisters or they sell in the thrift store and the $ goes to the organization. Also I have had C be in the right mood to donate a few times but others I just do it. If it was high value once I will tuck it away somewhere a bit but honestly most is stuff he hardly played with. I need to do a purge soon here too. Good to see you joelies! tgrimes I hope the appointment goes well. jewels sorry about the PB cup. Poor kid.

The doctors said he wouldn't see the fall and at this point, it honestly seems cruel that he has. My poor Mom. It definitely takes a toll on the spouse. My mother kept saying, "This isn't my husband. He'd never act like that or speak to me this way." Of course we all know she can be dramatic, but at the same time, I get it. I'm glad they're able to keep him comfortable.

I love that he still has those blonde curls. 😊 Thanks for checking in! How is work going?

lahdeedah - Chase is so obsessed with his hair! It certainly makes picking him out in a crowd far easier. Work is work. My new manager is actually pretty solid and my one direct report has been amazing. But between our main partner and our own leadership, I spend most days frustrated. But I am busy and appreciated, which keeps me around. jewels - I am okay, thanks. I had been compartmentalizing like a champ until last week, but I spent some time with my brother and his wife last weekend, which really helped. And I have far too many friends who have lost parents to cancer in the last year or two, so I have a built-in support system.

The kids are home today. We went to vote and hung around outside there for a bit bc the pto was having a bake sale. I'm in a ordering frenzy for Jose's birthday gifts with the idea that if I go over thd top (spoiler alert: I already have) I can call it Christmas shopping!

My car was dropped off while I was away. Drove it this weekend and when they put it back together they did it wrong and some hoses are rubbing something and now my engine bay is filled with unknown fluid, my air conditioner stopped working and it sounds like it might explode. 😐 I called and asked for the service manager (like my paperwork tells me too) and they told me he's hard to reach but I can leave a voicemail. Nope. I very calmly told him that I am beyond frustrated at this point and I will not be leaving a voicemail or hanging up so find me someone who can help me. So they got someone and she got me a rental and they're towing my car in today. Of course they only have small vehicles so I have 3 carseats squeezed into an escape. I just want my damn car back and running right.

I’m so damn cold today. I’m sitting with the space heater directly on me and I’m still freezing. It’s not even that cold outside.
Nothing but karate tonight.

So update on my tooth. I had to pay $5,000 out of pocket but my insurance came back to me and did they covered more than what the dentist office thought so I got a check from the insurance for over $1,000. So party and Christmas is now covered! A little happy surprise.
