It is monday, right? Ha

Are you sure you want to come home? The weather is awful.

[shanadoo]

We had a decent weekend but I'm already stressing about the kids AND H being home for Christmas break. I don't think I can do two solid weeks with these people.

[marygracerich]

Yes it's Monday.
I am having breakfast at Dunkin and then heading into work for a few hours.
I need to clean what I can in the house. I am losing hope that I will be moving out of the temporary house before Christmas so I may put my tree up.

I have to go taste about 20 new wines in a few hours. Okay, twist my arm.

I took a vacation day today to finish the dollhouse.

I can't wait to see pics. You made it, right?

[ceebug]

I saw every hour last night. Blerg. I'm hoping we can go home tomorrow or wed. We have now been in the hospital for a week. I miss Christmas!

[adm11]

Boss told us to take our time coming in this morning so I'm taking him up on that. Thinking about showering soon

Sorry if I missed this, who is the dollhouse for, rvasc? My mom made me one as a kid and it was my favorite toy for years.

My girl.

I started it in college and told my parents I'd have a daughter to give it to one day. My parents have a hand me down small dollhouse at their house for her, and it is all she plays with when we visit, so I thought this should be the year!

I am really excited. Our families got various rooms of furniture so she'll get them all day between houses.

DD woke up screaming and covered in vomit. She didn't eat anything abnormal yesterday, so I'm not sure what could have caused it. I hope it's not a bad bug. She's cuddling with me watching Sesame Street and eating toast so I think she feels a little better. Yay for Monday!

[Justbecause]

Two hour delay. Preschool is closed.
H is working from home.

That's a lot of family togetherness.

When DD2 was hospitalized we had a night nurse who carried an industrial construction flashlight for his hourly night checks.
Real subtle, guy. Jaysus. Just turn on the light.
It's so dull and gross and cabin feverish and exhausting to be there, I'm keeping you guys in my thoughts to get home soon!

Yikes! She would have been better off just turning on the lights! I had to open the blinds and door early. The walls are closing in!

DS decided to sleep in today.
Of course this is the only morning I couldn't fall back asleep after my H left for work.

I have so much cleaning to catch up on but I am excited to be productive today. I really want to get caught up on housework so I can get started on some fun projects that I haven't made time for yet.

rvasc I hope you AW the shit out of that house when it's done, it's so beautiful from the glimpse I've seen! I want it, TBH.

Don't worry! It may have its own thread, lol.

[sammygirl927]

I'm home today with a sick kid. He woke up crying several times last night, so I'm hoping he sleeps in a bit.

I keep thinking about all of the work I need to do today, but right now I am going to just enjoy my coffee in peace.

[rvasc]

Oh and also my parents were like talking about how the house was from santa. Eff that, dudes. I will receive the glory for the hours I put into this!

I cant believe how much of an ordeal this has been for you. Im sorry you're still not in the new place.
Would a mini tree be an option? That way you avoid most of the set up/take down of a big tree but still have something to decorate.
Ikea has little tabletop Fejka ones for ~$20.

MH has a cold (the same cold I have) and went into work late. For a minute I thought he was going to stay home and I was dreading it.

ceebug, a week? I would be going crazy. I hope you are home Wednesday at the latest!

Thanks! Me too! We live 90 minutes away, so that adds to the craziness.

[catspajamas]

Hi ladies! It is absolutely feeling like a Monday. My anxiety is at an 11. So much to do before I travel for the holidays (for work). I think I am going to have to quit sleeping. Ok vent over.

Thanks. It's a nightmare.
I have a 6ft tree from target that I just bought. It's pre-lit so I may just put it up with no decorations on it.

I feel awful. I had the chills all night and slept in sweatpants with two blankets wrapped around me. Normally I sleep with no blankets and the window open. I'm trying to remember what I have going on at work today to see if I can work from home or if I need to go in. DD was up til midnight last night too. I'm thankful mh stayed up with her.

[ShtsNGiggles]

I stayed up until midnight last night wrapping presents. DS2 was up at 3, then DS1 woke for the day at 5. I'm leading a training class today and i don't know how I'm going to make it through. It's supposed to start in 5 minutes and my computer still hasn't turned on.

[goldenbird]

I'm having a good day at work so far. I hope the trend continues through Wednesday!
And I've bought zero Christmas presents. I need to get on that.

[loveswaffles]

rvasc I love that you are making a dollhouse! We've been talking about buying one for DD but now you make me winder if I should attempt to build one myself... Any thoughts on where to start looking how to attempt it?

Stay home, not worth passing onto your coworkers.

Plus, you need to rest as much as possible. Feel better and take care of yourself!

[librarychica]

I left the house with my husband's keys so I had to go back, was late for work and the kids are sick again (just colds this time). I have the guilt. Staring at my email but I want to go get them and start this week tomorrow.

Yesterday ds helped me clean up the living room. This morning he looked at the blankets on the couch and my H's sneakers under the coffee table and said "who made this mess? I just cleaned it up yesterday!"

Welcome to my world kid

This was DD yesterday. Her cousins were playing in her room and when she saw it she got mad and said "what a mess". She also got mad at my nephew for making a mess with the wrapping paper and tissue when he opened presents. So funny.

This. My house is a plague zone right now. It needs to be dipped in a Lysol vat.

Same here, though I'm bearing the brunt of it. DS brings something home from preschool and is snotty for a couple days. I inevitably catch it and end up sick for two weeks, just in time for the cycle to repeat itself.

DH, of course, doesn't get sick from any of it.
