Happy New Year's! Hope everyone had a nice night and is getting to chill today.
I purposely drove to our friends' party last night instead of taking an Uber or a cab so I wouldn't be tempted to drink too much. Thank God. I can barely deal with a hangover when it's just me. I went into the office today because I didn't do anything yesterday since my mom was still here.
We just drove home from Cleveland. Not bad. Last night I went out with my brother and SIL. I had a giant dirty martini with bleu cheese olives and filet. After dinner I had a Moscow Mule, which I had never heard able until recently and it was quite tasty. It was a lovely evening! I wasn't hungover today but my stomach was a little upset last night.
I noticed that DD is cutting a tooth. My earliest teether yet at almost 10 months. I really hope she's cool about it!
I found out yesterday that my tenant in my condo is renewing her lease! This has yet to happen in the 5 years I've been renting the place out. I'm so excited not to have to go through the whole process again!
Happy new year! We have today off of work, so hopefully relaxing. We tried to relax yesterday, then DD got a 104 temp, and DS ended up covered in hives, so we got to spend new years at the ER. He is not bothered by the hives at least.
Oh no Courtniko! I hope everyone is doing better today.
Today is the last day of winter break for the older kiddos so we will be getting organized and ready for going back and then getting everyone to bed early...hopefully.
Not knowing that DH had the day off, I scheduled a dentist appointment for 7am today. Thankfully DH is home all day and I can hopefully take a nap.
This weekend was crazy busy and we celebrated 2 Christmases. Only 1 more celebration to go. I'm taking the real tree down today but keeping the fake one up a while longer.
Gave L eggs for the first time for dinner. It's been a couple hours so I thought it was fine and didn't see any signs of an allergic reaction. He just woke up a few minutes ago screaming and puked a bit. I'm hoping it's because of his abx and not the eggs 😕
I feel like an ass. My mom told me that my best friend from middle school was expecting (via her mom who lives on our street), so I sent her a pm on Facebook congratulating her. She told me she lost the baby. Good job, Mina.
buttercup, I told her that I was sorry for her loss and I apologized for bringing it up. I told her I would say prayers for her family's healing. I'm not close to her at all, otherwise I'd try to offer more support. I hope I didn't really upset her!
moleymole, I hope you guys feel better. Stomach bugs are awful! Hopefully the other two will avoid it.
I am feeling so ragey today. MH stays up late most nights playing video games, doesn't have to get up with LO MOTN, and slept an hour longer than me this morning. It's not anything he can really help, but I get so jealous when I wake up an hour earlier than him to get ready for work and he is still sleeping in the warm bed. Must be nice not worrying about how much sleep you're gonna get at night.
I would be ragey, for sure. Can you pump before bed and have H do a MOTN bottle?

Oh, that's so sad. Is there anything you can do for her? Send food or anything?
I could. I don't know anything about how long ago she lost the baby. We're in different states and have not communicated other than fb since I sang at her wedding 9 years ago. I don't want it to be overboard. Would it be too much to send a gift card? I'd have to get her address.
Both boys woke up with head colds this morning. They went down for naps ok but keep waking themselves up when they cough. I'm hoping this passes quickly for them.
I booked a Disney Vacation today. It should be interesting with 2 little ones, but when I told my parents about it, they decided to come too. It's going to be awesome to have babysitters/help with.
I had a bad mom day today. I thought I gave dd 5 bottles today, but I just realized I only gave her 4. This wouldn't be a big deal except that she was up last night and got a bottle at 2. So between 8am - 8pm, she got 3 bottles (and 3 meals of table food, but she didn't eat a ton). I got so screwed up because she slept in after being up for 2 hours MOTN and her whole schedule was off. I'm guessing I'll be up tonight with her for the missing bottle.
Also, DS2 goes to OT for sensory overstimulation issues and had a session today. While he was in, I went to the Target next door. I got in the checkout line with plenty of time to spare. Well, it was super busy, and I think the cashier was pretty new. I was stuck in line for 15 minutes! I ended up being a couple minutes late picking DS2 up. No matter what, I was an asshole - leaving a half - full cart with perishables (that I'm pretty sure they have to throw away) or being late to pick up my kid and talk to the therapist making the next client wait. Stupid Target.
I'm going to the library this morning to start prepping for the upcoming semester. They just sent out a 22 page winter prep packet, um yeah I thought winter break would involve some down time but I guess I was wrong. Silly me!
My dad, brother, DH, and I are going to the Packers playoff game on Sunday. I'm starting to worry about how cold it is supposed to be. They are predicting it will be about 7°F at kickoff!
buttercup that is super weird. I get the feeling of being not so happy with the people moving into a house you loved. Our old house was a historic 100 year old foreclosure that we completely renovated back to its former glory. It was a labor of love. The people who bought it just seemed... Weird. And at closing they told me they were going to carpet over the beautiful hardwood stairs that we lovingly restored 😢
Hey all, I had to step away for a day or two but, wanted to pop in and say I'm sorry for everyone who is going through health issues with their LO. I hope everyone can be on the road to recovery soon.
Everything ok, momma? I noticed you were gone for a bit. ♡♡

Have fun and stay as warm as you can. And also, Go Giants!
