We are back at it. Crazy to think Christmas is this weekend. eek!
Off to the dealership to tie up a few loose ends and the to the store. Solo of course. Please be good S!
Speaking of S she fell out of her chair this morning and landed on the edge of the Roomba. She gets up and tells me 'mommy my labia ouchy'. I am so glad she knows the right terminology and I am just waiting for her to totally embarrass dad and the grandparents mostly the grand parents.
aggiebug omg S! That's hilarious. Glad she's okay! agm04 have you made any progress with your decision of being a sahm? kartish from yesterday's post - I try every year for my family to cut back but it's like "how dare I tell them you can't buy a toy for christmas" so I've learned to not fight it. We just try to not get as much from us to offset the volume. And I am extremely lucky to even have that first world "problem"!
Today I'm doing some initial grocery shopping for christmas and my daughter's birthday dessert (chocolate cake, pink frosting, and "nilla" ice cream). My parents want to come over to see the girls so I'm going by myself! Glad bc the temp is ridiculously low right now and it's hard for me to get them and groceries in and out of the car in an orderly fashion lol.
Rant: My ILs want to FaceTime tomorrow for N's bday. But we already have dinner plans and back to my house for cake/presents with my local family. I'm sorry they chose warmer weather over family but I hate FaceTiming with them. They have a shotty Internet connection and I just get frustrated over the whole thing.
Today I am also making N's cake. I found a hersey's recipe that sounds amazing (really great reviews) and I like making cakes/desserts from scratch!! I also make the frosting!
aggiebug that is too funny! sorry if i missed this - what kind of car did you decide on?
dreemkin thanks for asking! for now we are planning to match with a new au pair who will be with us from mid-March 2017-march 2018. i'll re-evaluate near the end of 2017, and if we feel like i need to stay home for a while, we'll stick it out until march and then i'll take some time off.
seamonster ooooh that is quite an assortment of things! ugh we had rats in our attic a while back - the good news is that other than the expense of having the holes sealed, it was totally painless. just so unsettling!!

H bought traps and hopefully the holes are getting sealed as part of the roofing process. H got a screen to go over the chimney.
agm04 it's the same recipe but with the normal cocoa (not the dark). I hope it turns out as good as I've been hearing! I'm not a chocolate (or chocolate cake) fan so I guess I won't know either way lol. But I made a cream cheese frosting (instead of chocolate because she wanted pink) to go in between and on!! That's my kind of thing! seamonster poor thing! Roof rats, wtf is that? I hope things settle down for you soon!

aggiebug lol at S! G will say at random times "touch penis, tell momma daddy, ask you not to, uh uh no secrets!" but hasn't recited that particular bit in front of anyone that I know of.
dreemkin could N hold the phone herself? FaceTime in the car on the way to dinner?
seamonster hope the IL visit is smooth. A week is a long time.
Y'all. I had to pick up the manual for S's Denali power wheels today from the dealership. It came with an audio jack because it has functional speakers. My kids truck is more tricked out than my husband's 😂

A friend was giving a babywearing demonstration before a LLL meeting in a neighboring town, so I went to support her. Ended up just chatting with her and the LLL leader for an hour cause no one showed up for the babywearing demo. A few women came to the LLL meeting following so I hung out for it too.
My Christmas cards finally came in so I'm addressing them all tonight. Post office first thing in the AM!
My Friday night! I've got so much to do this weekend, our Christmas cards have to go out in the mail, final presents need to bought and everything needs to be wrapped! Good news though my trainee is on his regular schedule so I can actually get things done during nap time and not work from home.
V is not feeling too great but he is being so cute lately. He gets so engrossed in his playing on the evenings. I'm looking forward to being home with him tomorrow, even if we have a busy day.
seamonster roof rats sound awful, I hope the traps and roof repair get rid of them for good!
aggiebug that car sounds pretty fancy! S is going to be styling in her new ride!
agm04 that cake looks so very good, I'll have to look that up again for my birthday.
dreemkin I know it's such a FWP but it was really getting me last night. But I'm resolving to put more effort into our giving this year and finding things I can do worth him volunteer wise to try and balance things out a little.
