What's going on?

[lgsdesigner]

Eli is officially done with the bottle!!!!
I am very happy about this. He was a pure addict.

[lgsdesigner]

We are having our white elephant exchange today. I brought emoji poop slippers. Haha!
I hope my boss gets them.

Honestly-- they are pretty cute.

H fell on the ice while carrying W. I heard her screaming when I got in my car and ran out to the driveway to see H on the ground but he kept yelling to not come out there because it was so icy. She didn't get hurt, but H is pretty sore. So that was a fun start to the day. My poor H and DD.

A slept very well last night. I am shocked. He's still not feeling well and his cough sounds like it's getting worse and he keeps pushing on his ear. He woke up a little while ago and he's now snoring in my arms. I think I'll call the pedi today to see if I can bring him in.

Us too! Officially one week here! We were just doing one before bed! I finally found a cup she will drink milk out of!

[linny12]

I just saw a sign in the hallway that we get our bonus numbers today at work. They're really secretive about when we'll get it, how much we'll get, etc. It's kinda weird, but yay for bonus money.

Ds is playing with the fisher price nativity. The angels are growling at baby Jesus. ..

Awesome!
My older two were never like this. Eli just has a very addictive personality.

Mornin! Holiday party was a success. I had too much wine and not enough food so my stomach is eating itself right now. So glad that our team event today doesn't start until noon and all we're doing is watching movies all afternoon!

Nice!
We get a bonus in February. We also have no idea how much it is because it's based on how well the company did.
Last time it was a 4%. Hoping it's around that again or higher. We've been working our butts off so we shall see.

Ours is based on company performance as well, they calculate a factor based on what they wanted for the year then how we measured up then each person has their own factor in the equation for how much that applies to their salary, so it's a lot of weird math.

It's typically like 1 extra pay.

My first job we received huge bonuses every quarter, it was a bit of an adjustment coming here. But I have a lot more nonmonetary perks here.

Holiday bonus???

I need a new job.

It comes with a price. My last day of was Thanksgiving. My next day off is Memorial Day (May 29, 2017)... soooo, 6 months without a break.

C had her tubes put in like 4 months ago. We've been paying it off some every month. At least $50 each time.

Well damn hospital sent it to collections so now I have to pay the rest in a lump sum.

I'm so mad they didn't even give any warning! Just all of a sudden got a letter from collections. Ugh.

Oh no, I am so sorry. Is there anything that you can do? Did the hospital have you on some sort of payment plan? How awful to send it to collections. We just had Kenzies tubes done on the 1st.

DH is home with G today because she has a cold. The daycare lady said she has to have clear snot in order to return. I get a text of DH: "When should I feed her?" He doesn't do mornings with us.

Clear snot, omg! I have never heard of that!

[lgsdesigner]

This morning I was wearing cheeky boyshort underwear. My daughter saw me changing and goes:
"Mommy. That underwear is too small! You need to buy a bigger size or something."

Haha!!

I didn't realize I had to call to set up a plan 😕
But I also didn't realize I only had 4 months to pay it off! I thought I had more time !

Ugh, I am sorry! Around Christmas is the worst time ever, thankfully our insurance covered most of ours.

[robotpcr]

Ugh, I think I'm getting M's cold. I'm a little achy and just don't feel good today. Not to mention we were simultaneously coughing our lungs up this morning together. Blah. I dropped her off at the sitter's this morning with a poopy diaper (wth, she never poops that early), snot all over her face, her inhaler, and instructions to put ointment on her chapped cheeks. Kid's a mess.

One of the legging companies I follow makes poop emoji leggings. They'd be perfect with the slippers! Haha

Lol why are companies even making poop clothing?

[robotpcr]

We saw a giant poop emoji pillow in a store the other day and M was all about it. DH was trying to talk me into getting it for her. Lolno.

Hi ladies! I have been crazy busy. I worked this morning. Then came home and had lunch with G and Mh. We just put her down for a nap. I thought she was sleeping already but I heard her stir. When she gets up, we have a wake to go to. Then I have to bring all the Christmas presents that I have bought up to the third bedroom so I can start wrapping.
Tonight I am putting there tree up without ornaments on it. I spoke to the realtor. They are not closing tomorrow or Friday. That was my last chance to move before Christmas. 😞MH works during the week and I can't move this stuff without him. Looks like we are stuck here until probably January because of the holidays being on the weekend.

Aw, sorry  I know you really wanted that.

[marygracerich]

G slept for like 2 minutes and is now up and making noise. I cannot deal with it today if she doesn't nap. I will cry.

marygracerich Ugh! I'm mad for you! This has been such a process for you guys! I wish there was something we could do!

Thanks. I appreciate it. There is nothing anyone can do until the bank sees a damn closing date. They even know that we are waiting to move in and it's not making a difference.

[lgsdesigner]

This is what I got in the exchange. Dying laughing!
It's karma, I tell you.
The person who got my emoji poop slippers was a very shy older lady.

oh no, I am really sorry! Maybe getting your tree up will make you feel better.

My cousin posted a photo of her daughter who just turned 3 in a poop hat with the caption "my little shit head" SMH......

Thanks. I don't know. I was so happy thinking we would be moved in before Christmas.
It could be worse but it's still really sucky.
