What? Bitch, your travel season never ends! |

| | I assume the dogs are being boarded at a kennel; do kennels even take such young puppies as the new one? I'm not really a dog person, but I think that sounds really cruel for not-quite-4mo puppy in a brand new family to be then separated from family he had just begun to bond with. Such a weird choice. |

| | Why do I keep thinking that I read her saying *years ago* that her mom literally tosses grocery store makeup into her cart and that's part of her natural beauty or some other bs? Maybe I'm thinking of some other basic bitch? |

| Re: the board snacks--when my kids were young I did basically the same thing. For some kids it just is so much easier to present a snack that is already ready; they'll eat it because it's in front of them when, if offered choices, it could be 9 different things in various combinations. At that age, I also wanted something that was more of a small meal so they could get through sports practice, games, etc. before a late dinner.
I do think that Ashby's middle school experience is going to be very different from the OGs' time in middle school; Shay is going to have problems if she's not available more. |

| | I have read 46 books so far this year. I don't listen to audiobooks, just can't pay attention to them as I can read much faster than listen. BUT I don't have a real job and am able to read several hours a day. I am also that person who truly pulls out a kindle while in line at Costco or the post office. However, I've been the parent of 4 kids who were in activities and there was no way I could read more than 4-5 books a month at that time, which I guess is what Shay does, but I have difficulty imagining that she actually reads that quickly. |

| Didn't she say she always goes to bed at 9:30? But her watch in that post says it was taken 10:16pm and apparently she was going to start cleaning her closet? Oh, maybe it's am and she has her do not disturb on. My watch only has that moon icon at night bc I never put it on dnd during the day.

| | Ha! When I had 4 kids in activities there were often nights when we were just getting home at 9:30. Food prep, cooking, etc. take a LOT of time with four kids--do we think she has a meal service/personal chef type thing? I don't mean a private chef that works just for her, I mean someone who preps several meals to throw in the oven through the week. When my last kid was born (19 years ago!!) we hired someone to do that for the first 6 weeks. He would come to our house and use my equipment, though his own knives, so that I knew there couldn't be any cross-contamination of gluten. I have to think that, if she were doing it herself, she would be showcasing all the meal prep/batch cooking she did on the weekends, shilling different containers and cutting boards (surely she knows the BEST EVER cutting board that she CAN'T WAIT to share with her dear, sweet friends), knives, etc. |

| | Ugh. She is 42; she not "staring down 50" or whatever crap she said. I turned 50 last month and it is SO FAR from 42! I'm putting some post about essential oils on my Shay bingo card. |

| | Just getting caught up on this thread--I think the thing on T's neck was earbuds. I used to have some like that; they hang on the back of the neck and then you pull them up to the ears and plug in. They pull out on a cord. |

| | Notice how she mentioned rowing/crew is such a big part of her life now? There is no way Smith is still doing that and it hasn't been mentioned in a humble-brag way. |

| And it literally isn't even December yet! I have a Kindle Oasis, a couple years old, and there is a way to change the setting so that it shows how long in hours/minutes to finish but I don't even look at that. I read about 13-15 books a month so Shay's book list doesn't interest me, BUT reading is my #1 thing that must happen for me every day and I'm fortunate enough that my life allows me the time to do that. I'm also an *extremely* fast reader; I can easily read a 1000-page book in a day.
BUT. I can't even imagine admitting that I wouldn't want to allow anything in my life that isn't happy or cozy or whatever the word of the day is. There is so much trauma going on in the world. I mean, good for Shay and fam, I guess, but maybe have a thought or consideration for civilians in Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, Russia.
Oh, fuck. What if she decided she should adopt an orphan whose parents were murdered in front of the child in Israel and then just threw that kid into American life. I want to vomit. I would not put it past her. |

| | Did she intend to post the German version of the Bad Santa movie? I haven't seen it, so maybe that references something in the movie and I'm just clueless. |

| | I wonder if they're even staying at their house right now. Maybe they don't want to bother with it if it's already been shut up for the season--isn't that supposedly why Andrew was there last month? IME that means covering furniture, turning off water and electricity/gas, cancel trash pickup, etc. |

| | What do you want to bet the kids either skipped school Thursday or will on Tuesday, possibly both? So they flew Thursday afternoon/evening (didn't she used to always fly overnight for long trips with the kids? Maybe that was another mommy blogger.), She will forcibly push through the jet-lag Friday, they're finally on a decent schedule Saturday-Monday, fly back Monday evening, sleep through Tuesday, then back to school Wednesday. That's how I would do it, anyway, if it were a short trip. |
