Weird to think we're 20 minutes apart! What are they eating, usually Dutch cuisine is, what shall I say, not to everybody's taste 😉. It's definitely not typical fare – a lot of smoked eel and pickled herring. I prefer that kind of weird stuff so it's been fun for me to follow their food journey. I love both. Herring is salted in a brine and most people that are not from holland think it's disgusting and smoked eel, sooo good.

Morning. Hope your house is still safe tgrimes. Update us when you can. For the last Houston flood, my sister didn't stock up on food and they couldn't leave the neighborhood. They apparently didn't learn their lesson because they didn't stock up on food again. Idiots. 🤦🏽♀️ Hope X is ok this morning cagoldi. Sorry for the rough night. snoopmommymom

Apparently I can't stop posting this morning. We were invited to a "White party" this Sunday. The boys both have white shirts and I'll just put them in light khaki shorts. MH is being an ass about it (he thinks it's ridiculous) but I think I am just going to order him a white polo and have him wear khakis as well. I own nothing white that even remotely fits. I know you girls love to online shop. Help. I am open to anything really, nothing too fancy. And nothing to pricey b/c I don't wear white. Ever. And for body type reference, I am short, chubby, and VERY "pear" shaped. Ideas? Could you do white jeans and a white button-down or tunic?. You could play around with a big chunky necklace and shoes to give a basic outfit some interest.

tgrimes I barely slept last night. I'm anxious for an update. The news covered it this morning and we were explaining it to B; he is very concerned and wants you and Mara and H to come here. He says he and J will share their toys. Well that is adorable. Last night they were doing helicopter rescues two streets behind ours. MH said he saw at least 3 in our neighborhood most of the night. This morning the water has receded off our street. He is going to see what his boundaries are and if he can make it to my in laws' house. The next couple of days they expect another 2 feet of rain so I don't want them staying at our house. I heard they're going to do some dam releases, which will flood neighborhoods. I just need to find out which areas. Thanks for all of the prayers/good thoughts ladies.

I have a bit on my to do list today. Need to get some stuff done around the house and we have M2's 2 month appointment this afternoon. After that, I'm trying Walmart grocery pickup for the first time. I hope it's as easy as it seems.

Do you ever go visit them? No. We haven't talked in over 2 years. Her kid's father, who they live with, is the worst. But we have other family and friends in Houston that we may visit one day. 😉 I'll be letting you know if we do:)

I logged onto the Lilly sale at 7:59 (it started at 8) ; I was 27,000th+ in line and had about a 40 minute wait. Chose a couple things and paid--b/c you can lose stuff if it's just sitting in your cart--and logged back in a few minutes later. Over 100,000 in line and a 2-hour wait. Craziness.

margaerytyrell how are you doing? Did you evacuate or stay to ride it out? We're still here. Luckily our house sits up high so we haven't had any water come up. But we can't go anywhere because all the main streets are flooded. We haven't been able to leave the house since Friday. We are all going crazy here!

Dude and X both slept until 7 despite the early bedtime. No more vomit.
My alarm didn't go off this morning so I missed my walk and I'm having trouble getting started.
I'm leaving work early to take X to his 1 year visit.

My whole body is sore from the slip n slide. lol. There's a reason it's suppose to be a kids game.
It's cleaning lady day. This is the 3rd time the new lady has come. We're paying almost double and she hasn't been doing as good of a job so I left a note of reminders. I tried hard to not sound bitchy but she missed a lot of basic things last time and left at least 25 minutes early. Such a FWP but annoying.

Glad things are okay for now tgrimes but I hope they can get out of there soon. Maddie had a fever last night. Poor girl was burning up. So it's probably going to be a quiet day at home. Yesterday we went to an aquatic center and Cass decided she wanted to do down the huge water slide by herself. Crazy girl did great.

I wasn't around this weekend, but was thinking about your family tgrimes, glad to see a 'good' update and that everyone is safe. I'm tired from a shitty nights sleep, angry because a supplier pissed me off first thing this AM, and have anxiety because I found out the investors who own the company I work for, are selling, and fast. Needless to say, I have a huge headache.

What's the point of putting patterns and characters on socks if they are no show socks? And why is it so hard to find cute crew socks in Cadence's size? I found cute knee highs for her though.

H loved the dentist. She went back all by herself and did everything they asked her to. S, on the other hand, screamed the whole time. They both got a clean bill of health. They squeezed me in since we were there and I have a couple of cavities, boo.

Prices were definitely good. I've known people to take off work for it, which is more hardcore than I'm willing to be. I typically don't go *too* crazy at the APS because mentally I'm already gearing up for the next season and everything they're selling will have to wait to be worn for six months or more.

Ugh, my blood pressure was high at my dr appointment this morning. I have to check it every day this week and go from there. I hope it was just a fluke.
