[mom2boxers]

Hi all! Yesterday was busy and hectic and I didn't have a chance to check in. So I wanted to at least hop on before the crazy train leaves the station again today.

[mom2boxers]

@mrscarfarmer13 - good news about your dad.

JoBub - hope the sick feeling went away

[mom2boxers]

Did you all see the news about Gatlinburg being evacuated because of the fires? I had no idea it was so dry.

No I had no idea either. Isn't becole going there in a couple weeks?

[vlagroupie]

I just turned on the news, they think the fire was caused by arson. They showed a video of flames right outside a Hilton hotel. So scary.

Here's to a better day than Monday! I've been in such a bad mood lately, apparently pregnancy makes me rage.

Yes. Fuck.

[becole]

I have a cold too. This day!

[babylove518]

So sad about gatlinburg! My sister's MIL is there right now and they had to evacuate their cabin. I sure hope lots of rain gets there soon!

I'm watching my friends kiddos this morning so she can go to her post-surgery appt. Not much else is going on here.

What Christmas activities does everyone have planned for this year? We went to Sharon woods Sunday night. DD enjoyed the lights. We may check out Coney island's new thing. We plan on going to the zoo on a weeknight and I also wanna check out the Christmas ranch. Its so close to me, yet we've never been. Has anyone seen Santa yet?

[dogmama22]

Happy Birthday ladytiffany24!

[dogmama22]

babylove518 next weekend we're going to get a fresh tree and they have lots of activities as well. I'm excited since he'll be more aware of what's going on this year.

Have you checked with the place you are staying at? Hopefully things will be cleared up. But that scares the shit out of me.

I'm sorry. Fucking colds/sickness has been my life for what feels like a month. Pregnancy immune system is the worst. Can you take anything good while BF?

[dogmama22]

I dropped Z off with my sister and grandma to go pick up a couple of donations. I had to stop at home before I head back over there so I'm taking the opportunity to eat some lunch in peace while watching GG.

I think it's a pretty safe bet you're not going to get the most out of your trip even if they're open by then. I'm betting there will be a lot of damage from smoke alone, and it'll take a long time for everyone to get cleaned up and fully operational again. If you can cancel online without penalty, I probably would.

And then you can come to the Christmas party!

I just saw a list online of a bunch of attractions and popular spots in Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge that have burned down. I personally would be cancelling as well. Even if open for your trip, seems like access to a lot of things will be very limited.

I do like y'all a lot. That's why I planned this trip around the original date the party was set. 😩

[becole]

And Hs mom took off work to go with us, as did H. So H is pretty adamant we go somewhere.
I may be out the rental though. I'm trying to dispute with the CC company.

If anyone has any ideas for a trip...
holiday world is a summer thing right?
I can't imagine Nashville having enough for kids.
Santa Claus, In?
Anywhere in MI do something big for Christmas?
I was looking forward to the Christmas lights and shows and stores.
