Question TX ladies: do you guys say the name of that store as “heb” or say the letters individually? I’m thinking the latter. I’ve always been curious.

Morning. I’ve already cried at the DMV this morning...so rough start to the week. I got there super early to renew my drivers license, waited an hour, saw 3 people, was then told by the 4th person that they won’t accept my social security card as a form of ID because it’s laminated. It’s been laminated since like 1992. I’ve never had a problem. I had my passport and license but they need some ID with my ssn on it. WTH, my license is set to expire in 2 weeks. Anyway, i burst into tears because the guy was being an asshole about it and I’d already been there an hour. Now I’m not sure what to do. Can you request a new one? Is there a line to call at the SS office to talk to someone about getting it replaced? I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. There is a separate social security office but I’m not sure if i will be able to get the new one in the mail before my license expires. It’s so weird. I’ve used my card my whole life and nobody ever rejected it. My mom laminated it a long time ago. I was a kid.

My online program for my BSN started today. I am already very overwhelmed. The classes are 8 weeks and I’m only taking two. I need 6 history credits... because you know that’s super relevant to being a nurse 🙄 So I’m taking American History to 1877. I can already tell I’m going to be putting a ton of time into it. It’s very frustrating. I’d rather have hard nursing courses. Not the filler ($$$) classes basically.

Morning.
I got to work and it was balls to the wall first thing. Now most of the work is done and all I have for the rest of the day is wait for a few patients to return for their scans.
In the mean time, I need to take care of some bills and make appointments. I got my first PP period yesterday (yayy!...<sacarsm) and it reminded me that I need to do something about birth control before the end of the year. Not sure what I want so I need to call my doc to talk options. I don't want Mirena again, but I also don't want to have to take a pill everyday. Decisions, decisions.

I remember having 17 books to read (several of them being my professor's) and I had 3 just on vegetation life. Ummmm, no one cares about what the vegetation life was like in the 1700s. I hope it goes by quickly for you.

peachsmama I love the aquarium idea. Also, since I am home without kids all day for now, I started watching the train wreck that is MTV's new show Floribama Shore. They wear things like that Panda suit to bed. snoopmommymom the only place worse that the DMV is the SS office. Can you use your marriage license or something? I'm assuming you didn't change your last name though if you have an old social security card. I changed my name then changed it on my voter registration. I get ballots to both names. At the election last month, I asked the poll workers how to fix it. They gave me a number and I followed the directions. I then got 2 new voter registration cards in the mail, both under my married name. Interested to see what happens next election.

BJ's trip complete, along with a stop at Taco Bell. Now that we have a lifetime supply of shampoo, snacks, and juice boxes, I'm ready for this baby.

I would change my name and I'm always astonished that there have been generations of women who let their husbands pass this on. Nope, we'll be using my maiden name for the kids. Thanks.

cagoldi Benadryl is an option. It's 1mg per lb. Max gets crazy on it so I half the dose. Max's boogies are always green/yellow and often bloody so his is definitely more of an infection. Sinnys sounds allergic so I'd try the Benadryl. Or Zyrtec but I don't remember the dosing for that.

I brought in Christmas decorations for the office and set up a snack table. It looks so festive and I've encouraged everyone to bring in snacks until vacation.
So far my ideas for snacks are; nuts and bolts, assorted Christmas chocolates, After Eights, chocolate cherry's etc, my green onion dip, maybe chips and salsa one day.
Give me your ideas for office snacks that can sit out basically all day.

Morning ladies! snoopmommymom how frustrating! I'd brave the SS office to get the new one asap then hope that you don't need to show your ID for a few weeks. Although, is there another DMV that you can go to? Or is it county specific? I think Tim's is laminated too, we should probably try to replace his just in case. sands42 good luck with school! I remember that class. I hated it, but I have a horrible professor. Normally I like history. mwhip,I'm sorry you had a rough weekend with your H. I hope the weather cooperates for you to get pictures today!

Soooooooo Tim and I decided while cleaning the garage on Saturday to finally try for another baby. I called this morning for a well visit/physical/blood work from my primary care and a well woman/IUD removal from a gyno. We are going to officially start trying in Feb so I wanted to make sure things are good before that.
I didn't realize how bad my baby fever really is until we finally decided to go for it lol.
You guys are the only people I'm telling that we are even going to try. I don't want my family to ask and keep on asking.

I'm passing on a pretty crappy last name to my kids. I mean, it's not as bad as butts but it's not good.

Just made Cadence's orthopedic appointment. She goes on the 14th.
I also told mh I'm taking her to a farm this Sunday for pictures with Santa and to see live reindeer, then the following Sunday I'll take her where we normally go for Santa pictures. He asked why we needed to do both. Are you new? I want the same background for all her Santa pictures, the ones this weekend are just extras.
