Going to a 9 year olds birthday party this weekend. He likes all things sealife. They have 4 kids. Would it be rude/tacky to get him one child admission and one adult admission to the aquarium? They live close so I know they can easily go. But I can't afford to spend $106 on a friends child's birthday present lol. They could make a mom or dad day of it and take him or buy the admission for the others to go.

Like you said, they can always pay for additional people to go if they want. Or does the aquarium have just regular gift cards? You could just do xx amount on one and they can choose to use it towards admission or give it to him to spend in the gift shop or whatever.

Morning! We have kind of a busy day planned. This morning we need to go return 2 of the 3 pair of jeans I bought to AE. I think one pair (that I thought was going to fit the best) was mismarked. Then I’ll let the girls play at the play area for a while. Then this afternoon/evening we will be going to my sister’s house because it’s my nephew’s 6th birthday and we’re doing dinner.

I just checked and they don't, only day tickets or annual passes. I think I'll do one adult and one child ticket and a small shark or something. I know they so things separately alot because the kids all have different interests and with 4 it's so expensive to take everyone to everything so I think this will work. I'm just over thinking it as always lol.

Hugs for the tough day mwhipkim22 I was thinking about you this morning! I can not believe how close you are!!! Hi from the elliptical. I’m grabbing a quick cardio workout and then I have to hit target before I get ryland to pick up toys for the child my husbands work is sponsoring. Why I’m in charge of this, I’m not sure.

If we received something along those lines, I'd probably just use it to have a special day-date with the kiddo who received it. Esp. with 4 children, they probably don't have the opportunity to do things like that often.

Morning. Case of the Mondays here. I realized I lost my nice stainless steel water bottle Friday night. I'm pretty sure it was left at the check out at chick fil a...when j announced he had pooped his pants while I ordered, and then scrambled to get everything to go. Of course they don't have it and it's not sold anymore. I'm seriously dehydrated without it, which is pathetic.
And j refused to wear a pull-up to school, but at least he pooped this morning. I swear his teachers are going to lose their minds with me if we don't get this sorted out soon.

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.

The DMV is full of assholes, I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I'd try to call and ask to speak to a manager, note their name, then the next time you return, ask for them.

Turns out my wallet is in MH's car... so, no grocery shopping or doing anything involving money. We are at a free play place now. Let's just hope I don't get pulled over while driving.

Morning.
I've got to sneak out of here on my lunch to watch Dude's school dance class do their holiday performance. It's very informal.

Awful snoopmommymom ! What a shitty way to start the week. Every time you guys talk about the DMV I cringe, I feel like the people that work there are the rejects from the police academy and they exercise their 'power' in the worst form.

wedding I'm going to call our vet when they open but I think Sinny may have something going on that is similar to Max with respect to his sinuses. We've had him on Claritin for a month now and he's improved a bit because his sneezing has decreased a good deal but he has a constant runny nose. It's clear but I can totally see snot dropping sometimes. Is Benadryl an option? We have already tried changing his litter to clay and that has helped too, but not as much as we hoped.

A few years ago I was looking for a job and Office Manager for one of the county DMV's came up. I reluctantly submitted my resume, but really hoped they wouldn't call, which they didn't. I just couldn't imagine supervising the people that work the windows. I get it, you deal with the public all day, but damn, at least smile!

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.

I’m sorry Snoop. I’ve had moments like that. I remember once bursting into tears at a bank bc they wouldn’t give me the cash I requested. I was trying to make a withdrawal from my own bank, that does not have a local branch. So I had done so much coordinating and calling Btwn the two banks to try and arrange it.
