I've seen posts on b/s/t sites in my area ISO Elsa or Anna costumes. Saying they are sold out everywhere. But there have been a million at our Target in the toy section forever. Maybe people don't think to look in the dress up section for....dress ups.
I support Evan's Elsa dreams. Too bad he didn't pick it in time!!!
I saw an Anna on clearance yesterday at Walmart. Also they must have just stocked up in the toy section because they had a ton.
I was thinking about the sensitivities thread last night, and I think this is one reason why some of us oldies insist that 30's are better than 20's (and I hope that 40's are better than 30's!). I know for some people, it's just innate - some truly just DGAF about others' opinions. For me I was waaaaay more insecure in my 20's. When people were talking in the thread about how they internally feel like the child they used to be, with all those 8-year-old insecurities or whatever, it reminded me that I TOTALLY used to feel that way. I distinctly remember being surprised sometimes at social events when I'd go to use the bathroom and look in the mirror and see a grown-up looking back at me. It was so easy for me to feel like a left-out sixth-grader. But I haven't felt that way in years. I don't know how much of it is age, versus specific experiences, but I do know that the passage of time has really worn away that sense that I'm not good enough or cool enough or socially adept enough. Not to say I never feel insecure, I think everyone does at some point. But it feels different, somehow less personal.
No point to this, I guess. Just that I sympathized with some of the posts yesterday and it made me think about how these things evolve as you age.
It's going to rain and be cold all day. Fantastic. Also, H won't be home until late. Thankfully my mom is coming by again. She's been s life saver this week.
Once Violet goes to sleep this morning we'll do our pumpkin.
I have a dr appt in an hour for a physical and to get all my bloodwork done and I am already so freaking hungry from fasting! Going to need to bring a granola bar with me and will probably inhale it as soon as I walk out. Both boys also have appts and both are getting shots (4 month and 4 year). Jameson told me he is going to be brave and not cry so he can be a good example for Declan (heart)

Sort of a s/o off the feeling sensitive stuff, I always feel awkward in situations. I am half in costume for work today because I feel awkward and I feel like other teachers are looking down on me.
life insurance took forever. After the big discussion this summer, I started working on it at the end of June. NOW on halloween, we are finally finished with it and have policies. What a pain! I'm glad it's finally done!
sunshineluv How did your brother's wedding go? I'm sorry if I missed an update!
I didn't update on here, I don't think. It went really well! All the parents were surprised, and they looked adorable. Are you on Facebook? You can add me and see some pics.we had fun at my sisters house, and they really appreciated all the stuff we did for them. We had a blast.

That's so good you have it now. Hopefully you never need it, but thank goodness it's there of you do.

I don't have Facebook. I am SO behind the times I am so glad everything went well!!
Haha, I am not surprised, since you don't have a smart phone :-)
steph196 teaching with cramps is the suck. I'm sorry! I popped Advil like nobody's business. I also used those thermal are stick on heat pads.
I ended up just sitting at my desk yesterday afternoon and attempting to still look alive. I'm so glad you mentioned the stick on heat pads. I grabbed one to put on today. Thank you!
OMG, I am now in the worst mood. There is this SLACKER that I work with and this week I have been given 7 of his positions to fill. He has sat on them for weeks doing nothing. And now of course the managers are all pissed off and I have to deal with them. I have my own damn work to do. He is just so incompetent, I do not know how he is still here.
I am good at my job and I do not like dealing with other peoples messes. Now I have to put my work on the back burner to get his fixed. Fuck. I better get another good raise in March!
You need to take a deep breath and relax about the winter . We all survive! Every year! It's snowed on Halloween before, and that was the only snow of the season. Sometimes it's randomly 70 degrees in December. Last year it snowed 1000 times. The year before it snowed like once.

It's true. Last year was especially horrific but the temp usually is in the 30s and 20s )plus wind chill). It's not terrible. It's cold, but totally manageable. Buy a warm coat that covers your butt and you're good to go

I'm not stressed about it at all. I'm actually a little excited. I just don't know what to expect so I was asking.
