@KimmiChan1989: I'd like to buy Mari Lwyd from you. I'm not sure what to offer though.

@Wildfire: I'm doing good. It's a snow day for my kiddos. So they did minimal homework, and now they're playing and minding their own business. I'm surprisingly relaxed for having my routine thrown off. :d
I'm going to blame the hottub for my good mood. My husband set it up for me last night. He turned the temp down some and put new water in it. Extra cozy.
I slept.. off and on- but slept well when I did sleep. XD

@Wildfire: Good Morning.
It's a coffee kind of morning. I just found that my mom left behind gourmet hot cocoa containers. So I dumped some flavored cocoa in my coffee and it's -chefs kiss-. It's good. Minty cocoa with coffee, and vanilla creamer. :3

@Wildfire: My niece is in a stage where she wants adults to 'side' with her. So she was looking for me to be like "It's okay, you do you." but I couldn't give her that satisfaction. I've definitely noticed the craziest friends of mine had helicopter parent/s or had a rough childhood with bad-habit parents.
I kept my distance from my niece this visit, I didn't have the energy to be her 'go-to'. I do see that she's being a typical teenage girl, sporting a hicky and bad-mouthing her mom. XD
But she confided in my rough-around-the-edges friend that was over for Christmas. She confessed a lot of stuff to her. It is good that Now I'm in the know.
I'm just too tired to be my niece's bestie right now.

Thanks for the update! :)

@Wildfire: The niece that lived with us last winter has railroaded off the tracks and went straight into Terrible Teens. I see why my sister focused so much on Christmas planning, to distract herself from her kid being a crazy teen. My niece leaked a lot of random info to me and my friends over Christmas. Collectively I've now found out she's been sneaking out, teasing boys, drinking, smoking pot, and has tried acid. T+T uhhhg. and that's on my sister being insanely protective and a 'helicopter mom'.
I pray my kids keep doing their 'yin and yang' sibling thing. They keep each other in check. One's wild and the other is overly cautious. They're only 7 months apart. I'm sure you're right. <3 I hope I keep sane during their turn on the teen drama stages.

I'm showing sooner than I had last pregnancy, but I think some of that is on being older and/or having a better appetite this time. :3 I'm always hungry now. e.e

@Wildfire: omgosh! I've seen pollen piles in Minnesota and Michigan before and a couple of times in Washington state, but I think Florida is as crazy as it gets for the U.S. You'll have to send me pictures with pollen season hits out there.
When I was a teen, my mom and I moved to a valley in between a couple of cities, and my mom, who'd never had allergies got so sick and overwhelmed by the air in that valley. It was city pollution mixed with pollen. She's had continuous allergies since.
She got reactions when she came to visit at Christmas. I think because we're still in 'fall' weather whereas, where she lives, it's snowy winter.
oh gosh, snow mold is what gets me. =;= In Spring and the ditch pile-ups melt and the fall leaves and dirt underneath the massive snow heaps begin to warm.

I kept thinking my son was behind and I was panicking all the time until we adopted our daughter and she had the same issues he had, but different. Then it finally hit me that I just need to parent and stop listening to everyone's opinions on my kids' health/learning styles. :p

So I've felt kicks and 'Flutters' since week 13. I'm naturally a very thin person, so I didn't/don't have a lot of fat on me. I'm now officially showing. It's month 5. I 'Popped' right after christmas. lol. My sister kept commenting "I wouldn't be able to tell your pregnant if you hadn't told us." Then they left and I 'popped' out. XD
Just Fridays I have mental breakdowns of feeling unprepared. and now I'm heckin nervous because I spent the holiday with 2 teenage girls and they drove me insane. o_o'

@Wildfire: Ground has to be warm enough to keep the roots from dying. Good plan to wait. :3
lol, I love that you have a collection of compost plants. XD
I hate taking allergy pills too. I've only ever had to take allergy pills a couple of times in my life. And mostly since moving to OR. There are new plants here I'm not familiar with. Like Juniper trees and holly berry bushes. and Cactii/succulents all over my yard- which... for whatever reason, I had an allergic reaction to. XD
My son was born at 34 weeks about 8 years ago. The only thing we struggled with, initially, was everyone saying he'd be behind and it'd take him a while to catch up. But, it turns out, he- like all other kids, learned things at different stages. I kept thinking he was behind on things, but then he'd catch up or excel in a different area.
Mentally, every week now, I have the "Omg. I'm pregnant. and this is real. I'm not ready." every Friday as the week turns into a new week of being pregnant. XD

Our rain/slush turned into heavy snow. In the last half-hour, about a half-inch to an inch has stuck. Weather report didn't say anything about snow today. XD lol

@Wildfire: oh my gosh, early spring pollen?! in January? I can imagine it, but it's hard. We're dealing with rain/slush coming down hard with rain right now. It's yucckkky out. And the wind knocked down some of our garlands.
How's your garden coming along? It's been a couple weeks since we talked about it last.

I'm at 22 weeks now. Over halfway and expected to pop out a baby around 35 to 39 weeks. Super unlikely that I'll hit full-term.

@Wildfire: I started off the new year by being an absolute potato and the most I got done was feed the family in the evenings with pizza or some other form of quick food. OTL
I did have friends over on the weekend though, they made food, they drank and I got to sit back and continue the lazy streak- but socially.
I realized yesterday that I'm in one of those 'growth spurts' with pregnancy. Baby hit my rib and I was like "OH.. he's way up there now."

@Wildfire: how's your new year going?
I definitely like the darker colors. Especially with golds and silvers. I opened my avatar closet, and there's definitely a theme. lol. :3

@Hardcore Uvula: Thank you! I like yours! :D

@Wildfire: omgosh! I love your avi. :D

@Wildfire: lol! I wish I was being more productive. I'd rather sit and play time-consuming games than do anything around my house. XD
We have a cold front coming in, so it's freezing out. I really need to go out to my garage and get the empty bins for the xmas stuff.

@Wildfire: My husband is thinking about trying to fix it. But that'll be a project by itself. lol! It's weird shaped and heavy.
Oh well.. I'll have to come up with a replacement. He really hates that chair. cx

I have to figure out a way to take them out without them running off. I suppose I'm going to dig out the leashes and I'll need to leash them until the snow dies down.

It's nice you had all 3 boys home. :)

I got ahold of both my brothers on Christmas, was able to talk to them and their families for a bit on Xmas Day. Bummed they weren't here, but glad to hear their voices.

I'm going to sign off and go play stardew valley and eventually tackle putting away the christmas decor.
