Almost Santa time! (Randoms)

[Kevinmac]

I have to make a list of all the food I need to get for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I have to go to the mall to get two last gift cards and finish wrapping. I'm most excited for my department lunch at school this week.

[packerfan4life]

Still need to get my niece a present (my sister and I bought her the same thing). Need to pack, find something to wear that fits for my interviews next week, wrap presents, print pictures, and probably some other stuff I've forgotten. The girls have their Christmas performance Thurs.

Oh and I get to start my week by getting to work by 630am tomorrow. Woohoo.

What are you interviewing for?? I missed that!

I need to make cookies for cookie exchange on Friday, figure out what food we're bringing to ILs for Christmas and just try to wait it out and not open BabyGO's gifts early!!

On Wednesday I have a white elephant exchange at work. I wrapped up a bottle of wine that people can fight over.

[mladerri]

I didn't think I had a lot to do until you guys reminded me of everything. I better start making a list. All my gifts are wrapped except Santa gifts. I'm debating if I should wrap them or set it up so it's ready to play with when he wakes up.

We're attempting to drop one of ds2's motn feedings. I think it's harder on me than him. I have been co sleeping and we switched him to his crib and I'm dropping the 1am feeding (we still had 10pm and I'll feed him at 3 if he wakes up).

[mladerri]

@cheeze good luck with shots and your lists! packerfan4life good luck again on your interview. FYI it was -4 today so pack warm.

[titania]

Good luck at the interview packerfan4life!

mladerri, switching DD to her crib was so hard for me! I think though she is actually happier in her own space. Good luck with dropping a feeding!

I still have so many presents to wrap! And I think I still need a few last minute gifts. This week is going to fly by!

[sandandsea]

My ILs are here so we have 10 people in our house. DS is loving playing with his cousins and has been so good. We are super busy showing them around and my MIl is a lot to handle so I'm hanging in there. Ds2 is sick and not sleeping so I've basically not slept for two nights and am exhausted. Which makes my tolerance low. I'm working m-w of this week while DH watches the kids and entertains his family so it's a nice break for me.

Ds1 had his 5th bday at a place on Saturday and it went so well!! I can't believe he'll be 5 this Thursday!!!

GL with the ILs sandandsea!

I feel you mladerri. GL with all things sleep.

So much to do. Christmas cards are in progress. Of course I didn't order enough. So I guess some people will be getting regular cards with a pic stuffed in rather than our picture cards. Oh well.

We wound up having to order more. We sent out about 105 cards...yikes!

Gotta show off that cutie!

[sandandsea]

We do digital cards every year. It's cheaper and everyone throws them away anyway. And we can send it last minute! My confession is that we haven't done it yet this year!

[mladerri]

My confession: I love receiving cards so I send them every year. I'm afraid if I stop sending I'll be taken off people's lists.

Ughhh that's he one thing I don't miss. Here if it's in the teens or 20s it's cold. I think I've lost my ability to withstand cold

I think under 20 is cold so if it's -4 or 15 I'm still cold regardless. It was 32 today and it felt sooo warm. Weather is supposed to be really nice this week (41 for Christmas!)

[manybellsdown]

Flying tomorrow for the first time with both kids. First flight for E, too. T&Ps welcome.

[manybellsdown]

packerfan4life, have you had your interviews yet? How did they go?

Well shit...another blizzard supposed to roll in on Christmas Day.
Why? WHY?
I want to stuff my face with my grandma's dainties, dammit.

booooo. I really hope it doesn't stop you getting those dainties.

Next week!

[mladerri]

manybellsdown good luck! And I'm sure there will be lots of kids on the plane so you'll be in good company.

[pbandj714]

GL Bells!

[pbandj714]

I haven't wrapped a single gift yet. Granted, I'm still waiting on a few. Shutterfly orders are to be delivered tomorrow by the end of the day, supposedly. Whew!

[greysonsmom]

Best of luck manybellsdown

[woodengirl07]

You ladies are popular. We sent 22 cards. Lol. I need to wrap all of DD's presents. It seems awful, but since she doesn't care so much hers getting wrapped are my last priority. At least I took tomorrow off!

[manybellsdown]

That flight could have been worse. He did sleep for a bit after some initial screaming. But there was turbulence that had me in tears. Probably the worst I've ever experienced. Made it, though! And a 60-degree temperature swing in my favor!

I fear the wrapping marathon that commences tomorrow.

[GOmamab15]

manybellsdown sorry it was turbulent and scary!! I hope the rest of your trip is good.

[pbandj714]

Glad the flight was ok other than the turbulence. And yay for better weather!

It looks like we're just going to have a gray, rainy Christmas here.
