I'm stuck at work. The kids are still sleeping and Pete is off. Not sure what he plans to do to keep them out of my way all day.
Why won't they ever sleep past 7 on weekends?!

Coffee was pushed to Monday. No complaints here. I was able to get the kitchen straightened and John dust bustered under the table, but in still horrified at the state of the apartment for my MIL. Please note that mh came home late, and played online and went to bed...and this morning forgot to make J's lunch, pay rent, or do any straightening...for his mom. 🙄

I used to leave it running while getting gas when S was little. Then my check engine light came on and when I took it to the mechanic and he plugged it in to the computer, the first thing he asked was if I left it running while fueling up and said not to do that. It does something, but I can’t remember what. I'd like to know what it does because I leave mine running too, especially when it's cold. I never walk away and leave it running. I would leave it running,, but my keychain has my Stop & Shop card on it and I use that to get a discount on my gas.

How terrible, mwhip. I'm so sorry for his family. Great work, @chrissy! I love it when you get sassy, flamingo! Poor M, tgrimes. I hope today gets better! Good luck, @unicorn! @peach, affect with an a is the verb and effect with an E is the noun.

Morning! WFH today and it's going to be dead because of Veterans day. wedding lfig, today is the observed holiday right? Are you off for the day? I had a good laugh this morning. DH takes the kids to daycare on Fridays. I was working out in the basement and ran up to say goodbye when I thought they were getting ready to leave. I swear it was 15 minutes later and I could still hear them putting coats on and DH getting frustrated. LOL. welcome to my life! He never understands when I'm late to work and blame it on the kids. And now winter coats and hats seem to add so much time!

tgrimes I’m sorry M is still getting sick I️ agree it’s time to move on to a GI. does your insurance require a referral or can you just find one and make the appointment? mwhip that is so so sad. chrisy01 you. Are. A. badass. klong11 lol. I’m not surprised she won that battle. Starbucks is running a promotion until Monday that gets you a buy 1 get a second drink free if you come in between 1 and something. I️ can’t remember the end time. Anyway, I️ got two grande holiday spiced flat whites. I️ drank one and put the second in the fridge for a cold coffee for this morning. I’m feeling pretty damn proud of myself. It was so good, even better because it was F-R-E-E!

melaniesue, we did that yesterday. I had the holiday spice flat white, too. It's definitely my new holiday drink . I can't believe it beats out a peppermint mocha in my mind.

I did get 2 different things though. A hot peppermint mocha and a frapp toasted white mocha. Yum!

Does anyone where Kut from the Kloth brand jeans? A friend mentioned them, but I'm wondering if anyone else likes them? I need a few new good pairs of jeans. Almost every pair I own has a wholes in the knees.

This gas talk is bizarre to me. In my area, there have always been signs here expressly telling you not to leave your car running so I never thought twice about it.

Almost every pair I own has a wholes in the knees. I know a few people on parenting swear by them. I’d like to try them, they’re sold at Nordstrom.

And MH just said if she was feeling better he might take her to the nutcracker market.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?
Sure. Take her. Let's just give everyone her germs.

I really want to try that IT Cosmetics CC Cream but they have very few products that are vegan and that isn't one of them.
Whomp whomp

Almost every pair I own has a wholes in the knees. I don’t have any but a couple bloggers I follow seem to love them. I made an attempt this fall but Nordstrom was out of the size/wash I was looking for specifically. My random thoughts on jeans: I bought a pair of Loft jeans recently that I really like. The wash looks a bit higher-end, IMO. Banana Republic has a pair I’m eyeing, too. I normally love JCrew’s but I have to get tall sizes and the styles they’re offering in long length aren’t my fave—some of their regular length options are good looking though.

We got to the air and space museum and it’s closed—no power. WTF. We are 0-for-2, and B was so disappointed. Now back in the car heading to Williamsburg for lunch and this great park. If the playground is closed I give up!
