Christmas Eve Eve (FRIDAY!)

[honda13]

I was up all night with diarrhea and vomiting. My ob is supposed to call me back and tell me what, if anything I should do. No call yet

[hotcoconuts82]

Agh my shortbread dough is a crumbled mess. I make these every year, what the heck!!

My CEO closed our office today. I thought it was a half day for J at DC but it's actually a full day! I am gonna wrap the rest of our gifts, clean a bit and then enjoy some alone time!!!

Hi Ladies!
Waiting on the carpet cleaning guy. He's going to clean Lydia's room which is the room our family guests will be staying in over the next couple days.
I wish he'd hurry up because I have last minute shopping to do!

Breakfast:
Steel cut oats with diced strawberries and a sprinkle of light brown sugar. Trying to be healthy since tonight is pizza night.

Oh no.
I hope it isn't the Norovirus.

Idk. I haven't thrown up since about 4, so I hope it's going away.

Happy Christmas Adam ladies!

I'm working from home, W is at grandma's. We have our first of 5 Christmases tonight.

Hopefully W gets the hang of opening gifts or this could be one very long weekend!

[mom2boys2]

Good morning! We are all up and getting ready to head out of town to spend the weekend with my parents. Normally we spend Christmas Eve Eve with H's family, but his brother's family decided to do their own thing this weekend and we'll celebrate with them on Monday.

It took my an embarrassingly long time to get Merry Christmas Adam.

Someone wanted to say hi.
He's getting his weekly bath.

What kind of toothpaste are you guys using? I just bought L Tom's brand and then realized it says 2+. Womp womp.

We use the fluoride free Tom's. I think it says 4 months+.

+1 stratto814. I just bought some plus a new toothbrush for her stocking.

My pedi says to use fluoride and my dental hygienist friend says don't....so I'm sticking with fluoride free for now.

I've heard of you have fluoride in your water then you're good.

DS is also getting a new toothbrush in his stocking.

When we lived in NH and had well water we had our water tested each year, and were told that even though we didn't drink it it could be absorbed through the skin. Our dentist did tell us based on the amount in our water that we should still use fluoride tooth paste when DD hit 2.

Hi!
I have been so freakin busy. I have had to work for at least a little while every day this week. Then it's pre-Christmas errands. Craziness.
MH has a man cold so that is fun. He is acting like he dying. lol I had the same cold and kept on going. He will have to deal.
I finally got all the presents that I bought wrapped. If you can believe it I still have 3 gifts to buy but one of them is for my sisters birthday which isn't until the 28th.
As of right now we are moving into the condo on the 30th. 😊

[robotpcr]

We just brush with water for now. Our dentist was fine with that. At 2 I think we will start with fluoride free toothpaste. That's what our dentist recommends.

[robotpcr]

I feel so much better today. I went to bed before 10 and DH's blood sugar alerts didn't wake me at all. And M slept until 8:30. Amazing. She was so grumpy yesterday so I'm glad.

this is what we use too. N doesn't seem to like it though. I might go back to the Colgate fluoride free one that we originally had. She used to love brushing her teeth until we ran out of that toothpaste and I switched to the Toms

We are dog-sitting my IL's black lab this week while they're on vacation and I can't wait for this week to be over. He is such a whiney spoiled brat and he drives me crazy. And I'm also a LOT more allergic to him than I thought... I always thought it was the cat that made me die every time I go to my IL's but apparently I'm just as allergic to the stupid dog. And now I have his black hair all over my downstairs. Ugh. WHYYYYY did I agree to this???!

An ad for a personalized onesie popped up on my Pinterest feed.

With the name ALIVIA.
Not Olivia. Alivia. Noooooo.

Also a friend just had baby #3 and named him Kase. I just can't get onboard with that.

It's not more of a name just because you spell it wrong...

[smilesp]

There was a woman picking her kids named Thor and Magnus up from the Y playroom the other day.

[radtechgirl]

R went to daycare today. 1st day back since he had been sick with a fever all week.

Thanks for talking about toothbrushes and paste I forgot to buy new ones since I tossed the old ones this morning.

So I was doing some uninterrupted baking and our stove top shuts off and starts beeping at me.

[linny12]

We needed to leave at 3:20 to get to my mom's for Christmas with my dad's family. At 3:11 I asked h if he'd be ready to go. Nope, he needed to shower. It's now 3:45 and he's doing the dishes and picking up the living room.

I'm just standing here with my coat on shooting daggers with my eyes. I worked, wrapped gifts, made food, showered, and packed the car and I'm on time. He watched TV, and tinkered around in the basement all day.

Why can't he manage his time? Why!?!

[linny12]

Omg, now he's building a fire. Dinner is in 5 minutes and we have to go to his mom's house to get W and then drive to my mom's. Basically we'll miss the entire meal.

I'm so mad right now.

Yes! I just....no.

Yeah no. That's not a name.

[bethypoo83]

linny12 I would have left without him. That behaviour is ridiculous and inconsiderate.
