In true Daughter fashion, she has gotten sick the week before Christmas break!

Almost every year, she gets sick right before Christmas break, which then gets her a 3 week break instead of 2. lol I do not think she is ill enough to miss all week, but she'll prolly be home today and maybe tomorrow... #Kids

I have discovered the speed at which Costco delivers to my home.

This could be dangerous. lol
(Placed an order less than 24hrs ago, and it just got delivered!)

Well, $130 later and we have a Christmas tree as well as one for our eldest and his GF.

We just HAD to pick the most expensive trees on the farm! smh lol #Christmas

We ended up with 2.50 inches of rain yesterday! We are over 5 inches of rain for the month, and it's only the 6th! December is shaping up to be a soggy one.....Now, if only we could get some snow..... #PNW #wawx

I talk about how great the French Drain is working....only to go outside to leave and see that the driveway is flooding. Lmao

It's probably a clog in the grate. Guess I'm mucking that out when I get home!

I am so glad we put in the French drain last year. It's not perfect, but we don't have the flooding issues we used to and the crawl stays 100% dry, without a sump pump.

We have had 3/4 of an inch of rain since midnight. It's not even noon yet. 😲 😬 #PNW #wawx

Finished book #82 for the year, last night.

I might be able to get one or two more in, before the year ends, but not going to force it. Won't be hitting my goal of 100 at any rate. #CoSoBooks

The costumes, outfits, dresses, and gowns in this season of The Gilded Age are effing fabulous. The pink dress Miss Beaton was wearing in last night's episode....😍 Peggy's grey/red outfit was to die for!

I did not lose power. If I prep for an outage, it doesn't go out. If I don't prepare...well....lol

Rain is coming down HARD right now! We have over 3/4 of an inch since midnight! :D #PNW #wawx

Gathered the lanterns, candles and flashlights. Did dishes, dried laundry. Charged devices and have the pellet stove all fueled up!

$20 says I do not lose power. lol #PNW #wawx

Wind Advisory as well as a Flood Watch! Gonna be a crazy few days, me thinks. #PNW #wawx

Atmospheric river, Pineapple Express, whatever ya wanna call it, we are in for A LOT of rain in the #PNW this weekend! #wawx

37*F and rain right now. Miserable weather! I love it. lol #PNW #wawx

Just finished "The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches" by Sangu Mandanna! Book #80 for the year! I LOVED this book! Very good! Worth the month wait at the library. Lol

Kids asked to take a Mental Health day today, so we will stay nice and cozy at home! I gotta run to Wally World for some Drano, but maybe I'll make some yummy snacks and finish my book today.....

Got an email from the school, at 8:45 last night, stating that they received threatening messages via voice mail. Local cops, FBI all involved. Traced it back to a minor in New York. Dafuq? What does that kid have to gain by doing that? SMH

20*F this morning, with a Freezing Fog advisory.

Day 3 with dense fog, slippery roads and barely above freezing highs.

Wish we had some snow. #PNW #WAWX

Two days of this. And people still don't turn their headlights on. SMH #PNW #wawx

Man, it's slicker than snot on a doorknob in spots this morning...! #PNW #wawx

Fog is THICK again this morning too!
