I would find it amusing to have a warm wall to wall winter with no snow just so I could witness the meltdowns.

 

In fact, I think I'll hope for that from here on out.  Warm, no snow, none.

 

I can read right through this post. Inverse Parentology

Question for the parents on the board.....its insurance open season.....anyone else use a dependent care FSA to pay for daycare expenses? Do you find that the reimbursement process is timely?

 

nope, sorry. however, i found that trying to get money back of any sort with regards to daycare expenses is a waste of time.

I used it.  Submitted my forms every month and got the money added into my next paycheck

Thinking about signing up this year. The tax benefit isn't a huge amount, but its something and it appears there is now an option available to submit receipts online to avoid filling out the form every month. Have until Monday to decide.....

December is stupid.

I think the past 12 years spoiled us with all those December 5th storms... expecting a good storm that early is like expecting 40" for the season in NYC.. it's not normal but we've been in a lot of luck recently.

My wife is taking the kid to South America for the winter school break--a trip that I have been released from. Need to figure out something to do for a few weeks, and I am leaving towards winter weather tourism. Lots of snow, northern lights, unique scenery--all on a place that is reasonable to get to that isn't too crowded or expensive during the school holiday.

Thinking about Tromso, Norway. Y'all have any other ideas?

You could stay in a hotel made of snow and ice:

That's so not funny that it ends up being funny. I lol'd and then felt quilty and then lol'd again

Yeah I was conflicted but I felt it was dark enough to be effective. And actually might not be a bad guess tho SAD peaks later.

Today's lr ensemble guidance had me considering walking the streets and kicking stray dogs and cats. Not nearly as dark but definitely not something sane people contemplate
