So I’m an English major and I really can’t stand it when I see people write posts where everything is one huge run on Like do you not understand the importance of a little punctuation and the difference one comma or period can make really I mean come on I just feel like it is so annoying and honestly my inner red pen just screams at these people through the screen like GET YOUR LYYYFE TOGETHER AND USE A PERIOD YOU BARBARIAN and most people using a computer their spell check should catch that kind of an error right so if they were typing something like this wouldn’t there be red underlining everywhere LOL Because honestly all it does is give me a migraine trying to read crap like this ughh and every time I see one I always want to comment with this but I usually don’t bc it’s not worth my energy But I know one day I won’t be able to hold back anymore and I will let them have it and hopefully they get offended and LEARN something LOL
Minor Monday Bitchies here. We moved in the summer to be closer to family. Our house is a good size, but with both my husband and I working from home, we don’t have an official spare bedroom in this house (my office will turn into the nursery which is perfect timing as my work just got a new office building!) Our girls sleep in bunk beds and I intentionally got one where the bottom is unattached from the top and a double size with a weight rating of 500#, so it can be pulled out and serve as a comfortable spare bed for adults and we can plop the kids somewhere else in sleeping bags. We also have an queen sized air mattress that has a stand to make it like the height of a normal bed (rather than being on the floor). Anyway, my parents haven’t stayed overnight here at all. My brother lives in the same city and has a loft with a pull out couch. They always stay there. And I just learned my sister is planning on coming down for a few days after New Years, also staying with my brother. They haven’t even seen our house, but because he has better accommodations they don’t want to stay here. I’m a little hurt. My parents never had a spare bedroom when we were younger (now they have 4?!) and my mom constantly griped about how her parents never stayed the night in her house. Well, that’s what everyone is doing to us now! I just ordered a sofa sleeper from Ikea and we are going to convert our playroom into a spare bedroom. VISITORS WILL STAY WITH US!
@DarkSerendipity preach!! We just had a full 2 hour planning meeting at work and tomorrow I have my year end review. I am hanging on by a thread to my professional mindset when all I want to do is go home and make pies lol!!
@annashaf I have to say if it were me I’d be thrilled everyone was staying at my brothers lol. I love my space and having someone overnight is just not for us!
I love hosting with little kids. Honestly! The mornings are so fun. That’s when they’re the sweetest and snuggliest (unless you’re trying to get them out the door to daycare. Then mornings are hell…) and I just love hosting! I love to cook, but when 2 of the 4 people throw their food around, it’s a lot less rewarding. With company, I make nicer, fancier meals so everyone (me included!) can enjoy them. Anyway, we have a solution for down the road and my brother is also having another baby in April, and I expect they’ll be converting their spare bedroom/loft into a bedroom for one of their boys so it won’t be up for grabs with company anymore either. I was just in a snit.

@MrsLaLaBug That post. My eye started twitching. If a post runs on like that, by default, I can't read it.
