Hey, hey it's the weekend

[hotcoconuts82]

Are you all still sleeping? ??

[robotpcr]

I wish! Trying to get some semblance of order in this house since we fly out Monday morning. I have so much packing to do. And between now and then a bunch of errands, a Xmas party, and M's last swim lesson.

[hotcoconuts82]

We are covered in ice. It's slowly turning into a slushy mess.

robotpcr , how are the roads by you? I'm afraid to go out.

Sooooo, I wish I had seen this before we went out!  It's a little better now but it was bad.  We are not good at following the weather as native Californians.  DH didn't think to salt our stairs and we already had M bundled and outside before we realized everything was encased in 1/8in of ice.  Scary.

It took us 15min of thawing the car to even begin to start chipping away at the ice.

Happy Weekend!!!

It's been a while since I popped in to say hello. But I'm sitting at a bakery waiting for a shit ton of bread (running errands for my mom) and I'm enjoying a HOT cup of coffee. S stayed home w H.

It's chilly here in S.Cal. But I'm not complaining....50° is nothing compared to what some of you ladies are going thru.

So S had his evaluation for Speech therapy services. Both the Speech Pathologist & the Occupational Therapist said they would be recommending him for services. His motor skills are on point, but no words. Well, about 6 of them. Lots of baby babble. So they said that is good, he is trying to communicate.

We had his hearing checked since he has tubes. His hearing is in the normal range now. But the OT said evetn though his hearing is now in the normal range we can't determine what it was during 6mos-12mos when he was getting all those ear infections. So it is possible that may have contributed to his delay. But that is just an idea. Regardless, they aren't concerned with why he is delayed, they are concerned with the fact that he is. Both said they would be referring him for services. But I have yet to get the approval letter from the Regional Center.

How is everyone dealing with Toddler & Christmas Trees?? S is a terror with the tree. Thankfully we have shatter proof ornaments AND carpeting....but my parents have older ornaments (aka non shatter proof) and hard wood floors....so he is singlehandedly responsible for many holes in my parents tree. It is like the SECOND we turn away he is at the darn tree.

We had somewhere to be so my husband drove us. The main roads were ok but the side roads were terrible.

That was the same right around here.

[robotpcr]

My brain, I miss it. I started laundry to pack and ran the first load with no soap.

[bethypoo83]

J is napping. I'm laying on the couch watching some movie and DH is downstairs. It's a peaceful snowy day round these parts.

[marygracerich]

Hi ladies!
We got some snow this morning. I didn't anticipate getting this much and it took my so much longer to get to work this morning. People were sliding everywhere.
I just got home a little bit ago. G napped for 5 minutes, pooped and is now changed. She seems to think naptime is over. She is just talking and playing in her crib. Today will be fun. 🙄
Tonight is MHs work christmas party. My sister is coming to watch G and we will be partying hard. It's a huuuuge event. There will be 500+ people and lots of yummy food.

[marygracerich]

Yeah there is definitely no nap happening today. She is just calling me over and over again. I will take her out in two minutes. After more than an hour, I give up.

[robotpcr]

My friend's holiday party is this evening. Despite the fact that DH woke M up from her nap after only an hour and a half we will still be late.

I worry about this for Christmas things.
H is always late. Always.
We've been together for over 10 years and I think we've been on time for things a handful of times. It drives me insaaaaaane.

Yeah. It is the most frustrating thing. When he travels M and I are on time. It makes me furious and causes so many fights.

[robotpcr]

So I just found out that in addition to the play kitchen my MIL also bought M a kid's fire tablet and I'm sure a bunch of other smaller things. Plus the 8 gifts she has coming from my parents. And gifts from her other great grandparents. Glad we only bought her 2 small gifts.

It's going to be a toy explosion.

I know! I'm glad my MIL at least took my advice on the tablet instead of a bunch more toys instead.

[smilesp]

I had a great day today. We had brunch with DH's family at the ILs. Then I went shopping with SIL and DH's cousin and finished up the Xmas shopping plus got some good stuff for myself. Our nephews and MIL pretty much entertained DS all afternoon. Then DH, DS and I went out to dinner at this really good BBQ place. Now DS is sleeping and we're relaxing.

[robotpcr]

So the kid woke up an hour earlier than normal, screaming her head off for no reason. And then has pretty much screamed since. So tired.

[marygracerich]

Good morning ladies!
G woke up a few minutes ago so I am getting ready to get her. I usually give her some time to really wake up before I get her.
Last night was fun but then MH pulled sort of a jerk move and now I am mad at him. I drove my dad home because he was drinking. MH was supposed to be following in my car with his sister. I get to my dad's, drop him and my stepmom off and I expect MH to be there in a minute to pick me. Nope. I had to wait at least 10 minutes to arrived because he stopped for coffee. Don't make bonus stops when someone is waiting for you. He could have stopped after he picked me up but no. I had to stand there waiting so he can get coffee.

[brittneysandra]

Happy Sunday ! Miss you girls! Just stopping in to say Hey Hey!

[robotpcr]

DH took the grumpiest baby alive to her last swim class and I need to shower and work on packing her clothes. I packed mine last night. Can not believe we are leaving tomorrow morning.

[amylee545]

Busy weekend this weekend!! Yesterday we decorated ginger bread houses at my moms with all my sisters and then today we're celebrating Christmas with my ILs since they're leaving for a week in Barbados in a couple days

[marygracerich]

I am starting to get into the Christmas spirit just a little bit. We watched a Mickey Christmas movie this morning and I am excited to wrap presents this week. G is in love with my undecorated tree. Maybe it won't be so bad.
My uncle got home from his cruise last night. He is not happy that the condo wasn't closed on while he was on the ship. He is flying up here on Tuesday. I hope he stops by to see this place and the condition his tenants left it in.

[robotpcr]

Kid's clothes are packed and she's currently sobbing into her lunch. Early nap soon and then I will pack toys and books.

[flyinghorses6]

bwisco123 I am watching prison break too! Who is your main man Michael or Lincoln?

[marygracerich]

I'm laying in bed. I am still pissed at MH for being an asshat last night. He has been extra nice today. Nap while G is napping? Why certainly I will nap. Your going to fold the laundry while I nap? Knock yourself out. 😊

[robotpcr]

Oh. I figured it out you guys. I can feel a big bump on her bottom back gum on one side. That explains why she's been pretty grumpy the past few days and is the grumpiest thing ever today. Fantastic. Just in time to fly tomorrow. These 2 year old molars suck so bad. And after the first 2 my kid never gave a damn about teething again until now

flyinghorses6 who is yours?!?!

Marry Michael, but sex it up with Linc a few times first.

I am more attracted to Lincoln physically but Michael on every other level. I find his intelligence SO sexy.

Sucre ain't too bad either

[cosmicav]

I gotta say, the closeness to Christmas and the New Year has got me in panic mode.

Hiiii.
Netflix is such an addiction.
I started watching Prison Break and last night I just kept watching and watching until 1am.

Gah. Stupid.

Solidarity sister. I have done this one too many times...the next morning when I wake to a happy baby at like 7am I ask myself WHY?!?!?!
