Re: Anyone around?
Me! Today was our chancellors inauguration. There was a served lunch for 250 people. I helped our our dining services because they didn't have enough people to serve. No big deal...you would think.
Everyone commented "What are YOU doing serving??? Oh, is this your new occupation?" Seriously people? Is it that big of deal that I'm helping out?
Crap, just because I have a degree does not make me below food services.
It is b/c people think this that there wasn't enough people to help! Was it yummy food? The food here is crappy.
I'm in and out. Work is boring. I'm ready for my vacation...only 2 more weeks of work.
My random for the day: Ryan thinks The North Face is a big fat waste of money. I'm tempted to buy him a TNF fleece for Christmas just so he'll know how amazing they are. But he'd probably be a butt and not wear it or something.
I'm here. I don't know what is going on with Mackenzie but she doesn't want to nap. Wants me to hold her all the time or, what she is currently doing: semi sleeping while attached to my nip, with the occasional suck. I'm letting her do it so she doesn't keep crying, but that means I'm tied to the glider in her room for good chunks of the day surfing the Internet on my iPhone. Thank god fort iPhone.
KR hasn't crawled yet, doesn't have any teeth, and doesn't pull himself up on to anything. He literally has no interest...he just rolls everywhere.
I know every child is different and that eventually he will do all of those things...it just kind of sucks because everybody else's babies are doing something and mine is just a blob on the floor.
But he IS a happy blob. So I got that going for me. He's the most mellow baby I've ever known, so that's nice!
What are your Christmas plans Krissy?
BTW, I'm just throwing thoughts out there, you don't need to comment on them if you don't want
lol
I'm getting ready for Wyatt's party still... I cannot believe how long it takes to get this house in shape. I am not kidding when I say that as I write this, Wyatt is in the kitchen pulling apart a drawer that I JUST put back together.... and now he's unfolding the laundry on the couch that I haven't gotten to yet.
I probably shouldn't have taken a nest break lol... getting back to work in 3...2...1...0.5... ugh
A friend of mine at work didn't get a tooth until like 16 months and didn't walk until like 14 months so it does happen.
My company closes the office from Christmas Eve until the day after New Years. They give us like 3 days and ask that we take 2 vacation days. I have no problem with that - I enjoy having the week off. We do Christmas Eve with my dad's side, Christmas morning with my parents then all afternoon evening with my IL's. Kind of a pain, but luckily the houses are only 10 minutes apart.I am very much looking forward to Christmas with Maggie this year. She will be lots of fun!
What are your plans?

Got my grandma coming over...yay. She's pretty much ostracized herself from the rest of our family because she strongly believes that since she's old, she can say pretty much whatever she wants.
Example, my cousin's husband passed away in a horrible accident. She started dating about a year later. My grandma looked at her and said "Well THAT'S a bit soon ISN'T IT?" My cousin was super hurt and said "That hurt my feelings grandma, please apologize." My grandma responded "It's MY opinion, and I can say whatever I want.
So yeah, I got that going for me...which is nice
can't wait. She's going to comment about my weight all the time I'm guessing.
I know how that goes. I was talking to my grandma over Thanksgiving and she asked how much weight I had lost since I had the baby. I told her about 25 pounds and she goes, "oh my, how much did you gain?" When I told her 40, she said "oh that's awful!" Yeah, thanks for making me feel like sh*t grandma!
It makes you feel good that they need you, but almost impossible to do anything, right?! And I type this as she cries in my ear
