Thursday!

My Chiquita is 10 today!

She just walked into our bedroom to thank us for having sex to make her alive.

How did YOUR day start?!

I have a busy day of stressful meetings and need to make a soccer ball cake.

ei34 · December 2020

Happy 10th bday Chiquita and welcome to double-digit parenting @banana468 lol...didn't realize by 10 she'd already know how that works...they're getting smarter and smarter.

It's sunny for the first time in a week and almost Friday so my day is going well so far!

ILoveBeachMusic · December 2020

Happy Birthday, Chiquita! I was awaken by a dog groaning in my ear so I would take him out. Don't know what is going on with him but all week he has been waking up by 5:00. He normally sleeps until 7:00 or when ever we get him up.

Just finished working out on elliptical and waiting to facetime with my trainer. Need to finish up Christmas cards today. H ordered stamps but they haven't arrived yet. They were suppose to have been here on Monday!

@ei34 years ago a boy told her (when she was 7?) that sex is when a boy puts his penis in a girl's butt (not in my bedroom!). I bought "It's Not The Stork" and we had a good read about how things work.

Wow. And I thought I was pissed at the 1st grader who told my 6-yr-old on Tuesday that there’s no tooth fairy, it’s your mom taking the tooth and replacing it with money (or Target dollar spot stuff as is the case here).

@banana468 lolololol Happy bday Chiquita and good morning parents!!! LMFAO

I was awoken to a fuck spam call. Did not answer. Angel realized I was awake so pawed at me/blanket until I moved the blanket so he could be little spoon lol
I fought so hard not to fall back asleep but warm cat makes it hard.
We have such a hard time getting out of the house on time and I'm partly thinking it's M - he could wake up at fucking 7 but if he doesn't get ready until 7:50, we're gonna be late.
True it's not a lot to do, but it's the principle of the fact.
I told him that he's gotta get it together. Some days we will have to brush the car and we do not have the time.

I’m guessing you can’t leave without him or go separately? H is a snooze alarmer and (pre-baby) this drive me insane. It’s fine if it’s just him but if it impacts you that’s really frustrating.

mrsconn23 · December 2020

That's hilarious. Happy birthday, Chiquita!

My debit card is screaming at me right now. But almost all my nieces and nephews are done for Christmas. I just made my list of who's left.

We're going to get our tree tomorrow. I had DefConn call my dad to ask if he wants to join us and have dinner after. He was really excited.

I did talk to DH last night and cried on him a little because I am feeling so weird about the holidays. Some of it is anxiety and some of it is feeling some resignation. I know none of it is going to feel 'right' or normal. I also expressed that DH really needs to get ahead of FIL regarding our plans because I can't do his normal BS routine that goes with the holidays.

charlotte989875 · December 2020

I think I’m getting a cold, which of course I haven’t had since Covid began. I went to bed super early last night and that seemed to help a bit. I’m fairly certain it’s just adjusting to the cold, allergies, being exhausted.

H leaves again tonight for camp for the weekend. Hoping he’ll be back Saturday night but maybe not until Sunday. He starts his new job on Monday! Big chance in the Charlotte household next week.

If we were a 2 car family - or even if I had my license or if BK was older - I would 100% just go get stuff done.
Brush car.
Do daycare drop off.
If 1 car family I'd swing back and get him.

M is awake, just admittedly lazy and slow in the mornings. He doesn't take long to do stuff, but he waits until the last damn minute.
Nice weather it's not a terrible issue, but with winter coming it makes it difficult.

1 - I have no drivers license

2 - we're a 1 car family and he needs to get to work still - if I had my license, another car is not in our price range yet

3 - while I'm getting ready, he does get BK half ready {timing wise it works out that way even if he did procrastinate}
half ready = breakfast, sesame muffin, out of pj's and into top and socks at least

4 - M is an admittedly a massive procrastinator {which goes into his ADHD territory - which is a whole other ordeal some days *eye roll*}

CharmedPam · December 2020

Lol oh wow, @banana468 that’s funny! Happy Birthday,l to Chiquita!

I pulled the trigger and bought my cabinets & flooring today! Eeeek. It’s real now. I actually switched from ceramic tile to plank faux wood flooring since that’s all the rage. I’m not looking forward to the work, but I am looking forward to the outcome. Anyone want to come and help me? Anyone? Anyone... why are there just crickets?

I would send my H over, if we lived closer to you! He is now the master at installing wood-look vinyl plank flooring, lol. About 4,000 square feet of it over 4 different units. Kitchens included. But if you all get stuck or need any tips, hit me up.

The only flooring we didn't replace was in most of the bathrooms. I think there were 1-2 bathrooms, out of 8 total, that we needed to replace the flooring. But we used tile for those.

CharmedPam · December 2020

Lol thanks @short+sassy! I was thinkng of you when I asked. My parents are coming on the 19th to help and my Dad’s done it before, so I *should* be ok. Right now I have the peel & stick tile! (Previous owners, not me!)

The hardest and most grueling part is pulling up the old floor. Vinyl plank is, relatively speaking, easy and quick to install.

MissKittyDanger · December 2020

Please help.
I'm planning tattoos I should not be planning lol!

I have like 6 planned and nothing booked.

Butterfly and cardinal - left forearm, near elbow
"you are my sunshine" with sun - left arm, bicep
garter tatt - probably to be done in pieces. Bow done first. Likely right thigh
green star - right side, adding to chain
MJHS {BK's full initials} - maybe on side of left forearm? {like that part of arm between pinky and elbow}

I think 3 or 4 are being done this spring {star, cardinal and butterfly - maybe BK's initials} since 3 are going to be tiny

MyNameIsNot · December 2020

I am amazed at how much Xmas stuff you all have done already. So far, I've figured out what I want to do for our card photo (but haven't taken it yet) and ordered some candles for the windows. Hopefully we can decorate and take the photo this weekend, but I have no idea where to even start with gifts. And this is why I hate christmas; it's so stressful!

Nothing much else going on here. We found out yesterday that reorg impact announcements will happen Dec 14-16. That's so unlike my company; we historically never let anyone go during the holidays. Technically we still aren't; exit dates will be in March, but I'm still surprised by the timing. My manager and director are still convinced that we're relatively safe, but I'm stressed.

short+sassy · December 2020

I'm really disappointed! I posted my rental ad yesterday and had hardly any responses. There are two showings set up for today, but that is it. December is the worst month because of the holidays, but I wasn't expecting it to be this bad. Oh well. Unless we get lucky, I guess we'll just have to hope for things to pick up in January.

On a brighter note, we found a great used stove for $150. It's from an apartment complex with a marketing campaign that they put brand new appliances in the units. I guess every time they have a turnover, they replace the appliances. Sounds like a big unnecessary expense but, if it works for them, great. We told the guy we are keeping his contact info for the next time we need appliances, lol.

Both work and my personal life feel stressed out right now, but it'll all be fine in the end. I just keep chugging along. At least the week has gone by fast for me. I can't believe tomorrow is already Friday. Phew!

OliveOilsMom · December 2020

Hi All -

We had BILs funeral on Monday and it was very sad, but his EMS platoon came for the final salute, escorting to the cemetery and BILs final call. The local FD even came out to cross their ladder trucks just outside of the cemetery. It was a very nice service, especially all his co-workers (current and former ones) did for him. The bastard would have loved it all, if he were here to enjoy it. SIL is doing surprisingly well, except for sleeping. MIL is an absolute mess, even extra medicated from her doctor. H is doing ok now and DD is starting to pick up that BIL won't be around anymore.

Thanksgiving was terrible, but we had MIL/BF and SIL over.

Friday, we left the house to buy H a new suit. Saturday we kept our usually tradition of picking out our Christmas tree at the farm. We also added in an outdoor light show and Santa visit. DD was super excited to see him and just sat down to start chatting, like she's known him for year. He had the cleanest face shield ever and it didn't even show up in the pictures! Sunday we got the tree set up in the stand and relaxed. We had already planned to take the long weekend off from our kitchen project.

I have yoga tonight and in a few hours a long needed chrio appointment. I probably should have had an extra visit 2 weeks ago, but I just didn't set it up.

Casadena · December 2020

omg @banana468 that is too funny. Happy birthday to Chiquita!!

I ordered new glasses yesterday for the first time in like 5 years. I'm really excited and just hoping that I like them as much when they're done as I did in the store yesterday. I went a little jazzier than normal for both pairs (reading and distance, I am only 33 and refuse to wear bifocals yet) so I'm hoping it was the right choice

G will be a year old in 2 weeks - I am not ready!!! He's grown up so much this last month: starting to do signs for "more" and "all done", up to 7 steps at once, eating everything, understanding his puzzles....it's so cool to see even though it feels too fast.

this week hasn't been too busy, but i'm still very ready for the weekend.

kerbohl · December 2020

Happy birthday Chiquita! When I turned double digits, my parents informed me I was now too old for birthday parties. Good times!
The sun is shining and tomorrow is Friday - I second the sentiment that that makes this a good day! I may go cross country skiing on Saturday if the snow stays. I'm going to fail miserably at it, but it should still make for a fun outing.

2020 in general, but I felt that when BK was younger.

This reminds me of something that stuck with me when BK was 1.5 months
"The days are long but the years are short"
Accurate a.f. BK is 2.5 now

Jen4948 · December 2020

Happy birthday Chiquita!

Tired and bored AF. But I have a Covid test scheduled for tomorrow. Hopefully I'll test negative and then I can visit my mom at her rehab center.

Cool! What an interesting survey. Here are my results. I'm cutting in line way in front of you, @ei34, lol. Which REALLY isn't a good thing, overall. Because "thanks being an essential worker forced to go to the office every day" and "thanks having Type I diabetes".

Based on your risk profile, we believe you’re in line behind 23.0 million people across the United States.

When it comes to Louisiana, we think you’re behind 342,000 others who are at higher risk in your state.

Wow on this stat! And in Orleans County, you’re behind 27,300 others. There are only about 300K people in Orleans parish. I'm ahead of 91% of the local population.

According to that I’m one of the first to get a vaccine. Lol.

MyNameIsNot · December 2020

According to this, I'm basically last. Actually last, because there are around 300M people in the US, and I have a pretty good notion that at least 10% (30M) won't get the vaccine either because of religious/health restrictions, or because they're anti-vaxxers.

So I'm still expecting to WFH until June.

Based on your risk profile, we believe you’re in line behind 268.7 million people across the United States.

When it comes to Georgia, we think you’re behind 8.6 million others who are at higher risk in your state.

And in Fulton County, you’re behind 856,700 others.

I'm picturing the whole US in one room, but most people have left because their vaccines are done. You are one of the last to leave and the only people left are anti-vaxxers. And conspiracy theorists. Who either think COVID is fake. Or that COVID and it's subsequent vaccine...which is actually poison...were both created by aliens to decimate the human race.

Thursday!
