NYE/New Years

[xanthepants]

What are you doing tonight? Tomorrow and the long weekend?

[nursedesi]

Tonight were gping to a friends house to have supper and let the kids play. Like 4-8. Then no plans. My brother is in town with his family so I'm sure we will hang out.

Then maybe lobster and shrimp tomorrow with MIL.

I'm hoping I can make it till midnight tonight. I've been so tired lately.

My friend got married on NYE 10 years ago and is having a party (kid friendly) so we will head there. I need to run over the lunch hour and pick up some party hats and whistles or something fun for Coco. And need to bake something tonight before we go. It will be fun. I've sort of fallen out of friendship with these girls though I used to see them a few times a week, now I'm lucky if it's once or twice a year and we hardly communicate, just in different places in life. Still like them, I just live a million miles away. Looking forward to reconnecting.

With a 1 week old I'll probably be asleep when the clock strikes 12, unless I'm lucky enough to be awake feeding her. :/ I would love to have the energy to stay up and drink a glass of champagne with my hubs while watching tv until midnight, but I don't know if I'll have it in me.

As for the long weekend, we don't currently have any plans. We only have a birthday party for a 5 year old on Sunday. We'll probably just be hanging at home until then.

We are heading to the zoo tonight. We will get to check out the lights one last time and they do an early ball drop and fireworks for the kids.

Well I was going to bake some yummy treats and have a fun filled night buuut Elise woke up puking again at 1am. So I think we will just lay low and eat bland food LOL! She went all day yesterday and the night before fine, so I don't know what is going on :/

If everyone is feeling ok we will probably go to my parents this weekend since my Gma is still in town but nothing too exciting

H has mentioned going out of town to play darts, but he hasn't committed so I'm not sure if I'm on my own or not. If he does go, I'll probably go to supper with the girls and my parents and then do something with them. Obviously Hanna and Eliza won't make it until 12 so I'll probably convince them to hang out at our place, but let them take V home after the girls go to bed.

Tomorrow I plan to hang out with my family since my brother is coming into town and he likes to see the kids. Saturday is our family Christmas with my family and then my work party in the evening. Sunday I don't have any plans other than watching the vikes/pack game and hoping for a win!!

NYE is just H and me eating take out and watching TV. SIL wanted to do a sleepover with all the boys but that sounds like a disaster so we're just staying home.

New year's day we're going to MIL's house early for Korean New Year stuff, rice cake soup and a thing where the kids bow to parents and grandparents and get money. Then in the afternoon we're going to H's aunt's house to do the same thing. We got DS1 a new hanbok to wear since he outgrew his.

Well Freya now hates sleep with a passion so I plan on going to bed semi early since she'll likely be up screaming most of the night. But I'm sure I'll be up rocking her at midnight. (Seriously thinking about night just makes me want to cry, not that daytime sleep is any better).

H & I are getting take out from out favorite Asian restaurant & I got a nice bottle of Pinot Noir to drink. So at least I'll have some nice wine to power through the screams?



Edit: Tomorrow I will be hitting the grocery, cleaning the house & prepping food because we are doing Christmas with H's Dads side of the family on Saturday. Maybe I'll have H go get doughnuts tomorrow....and mimosas.

[starfishy]

I hate NYE so... Take out and movie with the H and then dinner tomorrow at my moms. Low key. Just the way I want it.

cbear, Girls I'm sorry she is still sick!

britbratjf,I'm sorry - I've haven't truly been following closely, but what is going on with Freya- I know she is a sucky sleeper but is it anything specific? Or colic?

I honestly think it's just the 4 month regression. She's generally pretty happy she just fights naps and is then overtired & a beast to get down then she wakes up a ton. It's really just been the past couple weeks that it's gotten progressively worse. For a while she was doing great overnight. I just don't know how to help her since I can't spend all day working on getting her to nap with another kid. I never dealt with this with Dagny & it's incredibly frustrating. I pretty much feel like a failure as a mom to both kids since I'm not paying much attention to D with F being so high maintenance.

DH grilled steak and asparagus for dinner. I got a couple movies from Redbox and that's about it. May of may not make it to midnight.

[mrsdonati]

Tonight we ordered Chinese food and are just relaxing. I took down the Christmas decorations and started to sorry through toys to make room for all the stuff Elena got for christmas.

Tomorrow, I plan to switch out all Jack's newborn clothes. Wahhh when did he get so big?!

This weekend is going to be rough. I go back to work on Monday. Where did the last 8 weeks go? I feel like he was just born! I already cried today just thinking about it.

[vanessalc]

Tonight I'm working! Tomorrow is extra bonus family day, so we will probably just hang out.

Eta: I better not be here to ring in the New year!!!

[mightybee]

Hope E is better cbear!

[cbear]

Ugh thanks everyone! It's the weirdest bug, I ended up getting sick again last night. There's like a day and a half of feeling ok before the other round starts. I'm hoping we can be in the clear now!

That is like the one that went through school last year. You felt better quickly then a few days later you felt crappy again. So weird. Hope everyone is feeling better soon!

[xanthepants]

britbratjf, well hopefully it won't last much longer. Seems like usually those worked thru in a few weeks if memory served.
mrsdonati, that does seem way too fast! Hang in there, the first day back is the worst. Will be thinking of you.

Just catching up...the last few weeks have been crazy. But NYE consisted of my ILs sitting at my house until 1:30am. I finally started turning lights off and told everyone I was going to bed. I mean come on...we have two kids that don't sleep and you are going to stay at my house after they have gone to bed knowing that I would be up with them super early? Completely disrespectful in my mind. My H must have told them 100 times right after the ball dropped that we wanted to go to bed but my FIL kept saying "just let me finish this drink" and kept fucking talking. They leave today. Thank god. Oh and both kids were up by 5am. New Year's day sucked.

[jodielyn10]

New Year's Eve was pretty uneventful. I worked half a day, then we just watched football, had dinner and gave the kids some sparkling cider and let them stay up until about 9. Then H and I watched TV and drank champagne until about 11, had sex, then went to bed. We didn't make it to midnight, but I'm not a night-person, so that's never been a big concern of mine LOL.

We took the kids shopping to pick out new movies with $ H's mom sent them on New Year's Day and I made a big pot of black eyed peas and greens and corn bread for the New Year.

The big excitement for the weekend was that both kids finally figured out how to sleep past 6am!! Every morning this weekend we got to stay in bed until AFTER 7!!!!!! Haven't done that since before Eli was born and I was beginning to doubt it would ever happen again. Wooo Hooo! There's hope!

[jennmm]

I cleaned. All kind of awesome fun over here.
