❄️Tuesday❄️

[chocolate]

Snow day for me!! The first thing DS said when I entered his room this morning was that we can make a snowman now!! He's been waiting and waiting.

What's your day look like?

[piperhalliwell]

A dreary, rainy work day here. Glad to get to be inside for the majority of the day. L was up for a little over an hour last night. It was DH's turn to deal with her, so he's dragging worse than I am today, but of course I woke up every time she cried anyway.

[musicalsilver]

Wet wet wet. But I'm being cheerful about it because after 40+ days with no rain we needed it in a bad way.

DS was much better behaved this morning and DD was only up twice last night after I went to bed (several times before that though), so a much better start to this day. We actually got out the door in good time this morning!

Hopefully it's a productive day at work and dry by the afternoon so we can hit up the library on our way home without a great big production of raingear involved.

Morning!
X slept much better last night, so at least we won't be adding "overtired" to our list of problems yet today.
I need to go to the grocery store today. Maybe we'look wander to the library. The snow should be melted on the sidewalks and I'm so tired of being inside!

I don't do winter well.

Ryan is on the mend! He was happy and babbling this morning so I sent him to daycare and she said it went well, though you could tell he still isn't 100%. Hes napping now, hopefully a nice long one.
Dh is home all week and I'm so glad for it. We have cardiologist Thursday for Magoo and I'll need the moral support.
It snowed yesterday so we have a nice winter wonderland thing going on here

Heart murmur, nothing too concerning though. It's purely a precaution

Overcast with just a few patches of snow on the grass here.

Waiting for my dr's office to call me back because I missed their call yesterday - I'm pretty sure it's just to tell me they received my US results

DS slept better last night and I could feel tooth #5 this morning. I can't see #6 yet though, his other ones all came in pairs.

I should do some baking but probably won't until Thursday when my mom comes over so she can entertain DS

[trtlcrzy]

Cold and windy! And it's only getting colder


It's currently flurrying a little bit.

Last night my sister (L) texted my sister group text and asked what the plan is for Christmas. L usually hosts all the holidays at her house because she has the most room and is in town. She suggested my oldest sister (J) host but her house is 3 hours away. I said that was fine but we couldn't have our get together till like 6pm, plus we couldn't stay that long because I'm 99% sure DH will have to work the next day. We have been doing the same thing for Christmas for 6 years: Christmas Eve we spend time with my GMIL, aunts and uncles and then after that we go to MIL's cousins' party. Christmas morning we open our gifts at home then to the IL's for presents and Christmas breakfast. The afternoon is always for my side of the family. For some reason my sister has taken offense to this and is mad I'm "prioritizing" DH's family over mine. I'm not, I like what we do for Christmas and I don't want to change it. We get to see everyone and everyone seemed to be fine with this arrangement. So now L is mad and I don't feel like I did anything. I offered to host at my house at 2 but reminded everyone that we are in a construction zone and don't have a lot of space right now. It's so annoying.

[tkford216]

He's working on tooth 7 now. God help me. Can we take a break from the teething please? Such an overachiever.

[mishy2010]

Guys, I just got asked on a play date by another preschool school mom. I feel popular now. I gotta play it cool and not be like omg yes friends!!!

[chocolate]

Our power is being super sketchy right now. It keeps dimming down and coming back up. I hope it doesn't go out. Also, I guess the roads in pretty much the whole state are closed.

That's really frustrating. Coordinating families over the holidays is so stressful to me. Even when everyone is cool about it, I feel like I'm always somehow hurting someone's feelings. 

You have the baby and that's a lot of traveling to do on Christmas day. Especially when H will have all these new toys she wants to play with! 
I'd say either let them come to you or let her be annoyed. You have a lot to juggle and she should be understanding of that.

Guys.. I got to shower, wash my hair, AND shave my legs all before noon this morning! And I'm eating my second meal of the day at 12:30! I haven't gotten to do this in over a week. I feel human. This is nice.

[auchick913]

Been hot and humid here lately. I feel bad for DS. His room doesn't have AC- only the master bedroom and living room have wall AC units. There is a fan but it doesn't remove the humidity. I just ordered a bunch of sleepers and now I think they're going to be too warm once summer really gets going.

Dentist yesterday was super stetchy. Basically just looked around, asked how long I'd had braces and declared no cavities without the usual poking and prodding. Then the "cleaning" only took like 10 min.

[tkford216]

auchick913 it's so weird to hear you talking about summer, lol. Can we switch places?

If all else have him sleep in a onesie

I have a $5 off coupon code to Freshly Picked if anyone would like it. Since I just bought 2 pairs I don't need to spend more money, lol.

Yeah I've been doing onesie and pants lately but we're kinda at that awkward stage where he's sweating at bedtime but cool in the mornings. I'm nervous to do just a onesie.

Girl, this is my first summer since 2014 due to moves and pregnancy relocations. I'm loving it!!!

Maybe a pair of footless cotton pajamas like this:


Or a 2 piece cotton pants and top set.

I would take! I'm thinking I'm going to buy C a pair because I feel bad every time we go out and she just has socks on. Now there is snow on the ground so I feel even more bad.

Ok, I will pm you

Power has been good now, no outages. It's still kind of snowing lightly.

I'm being majorly lazy today. I should really get my nativity set out along with the rest of my Christmas decorations. The tree is done and I have a wreath on the door, but that's about it. I could also start wrapping since I have a ton of presents shoved in the closet right now.

[chocolate]

trtlcrzy that seems like a long way to go just for a bit on Christmas Day. And if your family really wants more time with you guys, it would make the most sense to eliminate drive time so you can make the most of what you have available.

[chocolate]

For Christmas we do Eve with IL's and Day with my family. Works perfectly. But we are pretty much all right in town so we don't have to go anywhere more than about a mile away.

[morwen]

We alternate years with each side and try to see the other side the weekend after Christmas. It's too hectic for us otherwise and we'd rather relax

Yeah, I'm going to tell them we can't go to J's house. Driving 6 hours one day to spend a couple hours there is silly.
