Oh my gourd the snow! It just won't stop. Put a bit of a damper on the barn Christmas party because where I live they shut down the effing roads sometimes. Thank everything hubs thought ahead and bought lots of booze and snacks, so we are good for a week or so 😂😂
Lollipop, glad you got everything done! The end is in sight! NellieOleson, love those sweet girls. tinydancer, I hope the review went well! Congrats to DS on his new found freedom lol! kelltothekell, I'm jelly of your nap! Wish DS would nap that long. Hope DD is feeling better.
We had a pretty busy day. I took the kids to music class and then to a train-themed playplace/restaurant for lunch. We went to my mom's and DS stayed there while DD and I went to Target. I was able to take a 45 minute nap at home while DH watched DD and then I went to pick up DS. DH is working overnight tonight and tomorrow. I have to pack for our vacation. We leave on Monday!
I just nearly had a heart attack. I thought I had forgotten H's debit card at home when I was at the store with my dad earlier. So I borrowed the money from him until tomorrow. Fast forward to when we got home, I couldn't find the card anywhere, so I started freaking out, thinking I had lost it. Went through my wallet, checked H's wallet, emptied my coat pockets, checked the diaper bag, and went through my wallet again. Turns out it was there, just in the wrong slot. Crisis averted. Now I just need M to go to bed so I can wrap presents for tomorrow and hopefully be in bed before midnight for the first time this week.

scorpioscuba, that would drive me insane. DH has a problem with punctuality and it makes me so angry. Yesterday his brother and GF were supposed to come around 3:30pm to start making x-mas cookies. We told them we had a Christmas party to go to at 6, but they could keep making cookies and we would only be gone for 2 hours. Well, they ended up coming AFTER we had already left for the xmas party, so we had to let DDs 1+2 stay up extra late just to spend any time with them at all. Then BIL said that he hadn't slept much the last few nights and would definitely not be waking up early. Sigh.
They're being a big help with the kids today, though, so I don't want to complain too much. Plus they don't have kids themselves, which is an excuse. Your friends do, so they should really know better.

The flu hit DH this morning. Now DD3 and I are the only holdouts, which I totally don't get. She has been hanging on every sick person all week, and I usually get the stomach flu much easier than DH. I just hope that if we get it, it's early this week and done by Christmas.
scorpioscuba your guests sound exhausting hopefully you have a restful day today. icequeen I am proud of you for taking care of yourself. The trust will come eventually. You just keep focusing on you.
We're off to our early Christmas with my parents, sister and BIL. We're running later than planned. H put M down for a nap half an hour before I planned to leave. Then he poked around for a bit. Then he was playing video games while I was trying to get the kids ready. Then he decided he had some phone calls to make after we were all dressed. 45 minutes after I planned to leave we were finally out the door, and we still had to stop at the ATM. I hate being late it stresses me out. Even if it is just for going to my parents house
My sister and BIL wrapped a giant box for my mom and me. Inside the box was another box, with 2 numbers on it. And so on until we opened a tiny 4x6 picture frame. The picture frame says "we owe you one picture from Garth Brooks Feb 19, 2017". All of the numbers on the boxes are our seat numbers and section and the dates of the concert. I cried. My mom cried. My dad almost cried. My sister cried.
Apparently my BIL had bought the tickets in the half hour that they sold out the first time around, and wasn't even sure if I liked Garth. He included me because he would've felt bad leaving me out if he bought tickets for my mom and sister. When my sister explained to him, he got her in on it and she wrapped the boxes. I'm so happy.

We invited our guests over from 1 to 4. They arrived after 2, and now it's almost 5 with no signs of leaving soon. So over it... I'm hiding in the bathroom. Ha.

Stuff like that is why I don't invite people over. It stresses me out way too much. But apparently H's grandparents want to come over. They wanted to come over this afternoon, but we're busy.
Hubs and I had a date night! We saw rogue one and went out to dinner. It was great! There was a new theater built in our little town. It's a nonprofit. My hopes weren't super high but they have a liquor license so it was worth checking out. It was awesome!! I want to see all movies there. It is beautifully designed. Beer and wine selection was great. This is the first time we have been out without L. We both decided we missed her.

NellieOleson that's just crazy. I can't understand people without the ability to know when their welcome is over! Lollipop I am so happy for you have a blast! That was really kind of him to include you.
NellieOleson, ugh that makes me SO ragey!!! What is wrong with people?! When I go over anywhere I'm always trying to gauge when enough is enough so nobody is stressing out. I hate when others are so mindless and ignorant. Lollipop, how awesome!!! I had a good feeling that it would work out for you. crimsonandclover, poor DH (and you), I hope he gets over the bug soon in time for next weekend. kcrkcs, im so glad you had a date night! the theatre sounds super fun.
I've been told that no matter what I would've been going. I think my mother was willing to do pretty much anything to get me there. Apparently she was planning to make sure I got to see him even if my BIL hadn't been able to get us tickets. She actually asked him to try, but he already had them lol.

I'm sorry. I know this all too well. It's happening at my house...again. This time H's friend. 3 guys from school came over to watch football and eat spaghetti and meatballs H made. 2 of them left hours ago. The other I think is moving in. 😡

I got 90% of my wrapping done last night! This morning I've been doing laundry and making peppermint bark soon for gifts. DS has school today and half day tomorrow and then Wed we head up north for a couple nights. We are doing the Polar Express train. I'm excited for a change of scenery!
My BIL has no idea what he did. He's heard the story, but he has no idea how much this means to me. To my whole family, really. The only person not choking up was H and the kids. And then we watched the video and my mom and sister and I started up again lol. By the time we got home I looked stoned, my eyes were so red
