Good morning all. After 8 am and yet I am still the first one on? LOL!
I popped on earlier to 'like' stuff, but didn't post. Was in a bit of a hurry to get out the door to get to the post office and the store...made it to the p.o. and discovered I left my wallet at home.

It took over 30 minutes for the first drive there, because I was stuck behind a school bus, picking up junior high kids (bad timing on my part). I'm debating if I want to go back up today, since I have to go back up Wed for 2 more packages. Three are Target orders (tp, paper towels, laundry stuff, deodorant, etc) and the other is fudge, strawberry preserves and a fruitcake to try (we are still searching for a 'good' one, lol) from a specialty shop; so only one 'might' go bad, but I think it'll be fine for a couple more days. Isn't fruitcake supposed to be good forever?

On a bright note, I did get my Starbucks, so... (app had money on it, woot!), but they are STILL out of my salted caramel drizzle (and even regular caramel drizzle).
DH was up last night, sick.

I had to clean the bathroom this am when I first got up.

He didn't wake me up last night. It feels like he ate something bad yesterday or the day before. He's got a sensitive stomach....the slightest thing sets it off. He's keeping ginger ale in right now, so that's positive. I'm going to get grilled cheese and some sort of soup for him for later. DS and I can have bagel dogs or pretzel dogs and salad.
I feel like it's an Eeyore day for me. It's gray and blah feeling outside.
We had our 22nd anniversary on Saturday. I made Swiss Steak burgers (from Fresh Market), onion rings and salad. We had a triple chocolate mousse cake from there too, instead of fondue. Watched some tv, and snuggled on the couch. I bought us flowers when I went to Fresh Market.
I ordered DGS#2's Christmas gifts from
Amazon already; there are always shipping issues to Japan from about October to February, so I went ahead and took care of things. I'll order the other grandkids gifts in late October or early November, since they are stateside. My kids can live with getting their gifts late, lol.
I hope everyone up North survived Henri with little issues.
@Kirby I would think it would depend on what their court papers say. She should check her paperwork and with the lawyer. A friend had to tell her ex everytime she took the kids out of their 'normal activity range'...so she would have had to tell him if they went shopping at a mall in the next town over. Another friend and her ex can't do anything unless both parents sign off on it...even something as simple as a haircut requires paperwork!
DD#2, from ages one to four, had two homes (DH and I weren't married then). But we worked with each other to make sure DD had what she needed, and spent enough time with both of us. He worked Mon-Thurs, I worked Fri-Tues nights (his office was closed on Fridays, and I arranged with my work to take my days off during the week). I would hang out at DH's place during her preschool time in the mornings, as he lived right across the street from it; then she and I would go to my place, or on Mon/Tues, I'd take her to my sisters so I could work. (DH also had a key to my place, and I didn't have a problem with him being there with her.) DH had insurance on her, as his family cost was cheaper than mine, but whoever took her to the doctor paid the copay; I paid for daycare (sis charged me $25 a week). If she needed shoes or a jacket or a haircut, whoever had the money got them for her. Everything he or I did for her, about her, we did together.
With DD#1, everything was a battle with my ex and ex-inlaws. We did some pictures, just her and I (I was newly pg with DD#2, but didn't know it); and with both of us with our hair done, wearing nice "Sunday school" type dressses, and sitting in a portrait studio. It because a major issue.
The ex was angry that he wasn't in the pictures; or because I didn't pay for him, his girlfriend and DD to get pictures; or because he was just being a jerk; I could never figure it out. Because we took a portrait without him, he tried to run me over with his car, and had his girlfriend try to fight me.
He was...is...the worst kind of
. I want to go back and slap my teenage self in the head two or three times.
Anyways, I hope everyone has a good day.
