TGIF! Christmas Eve Eve

[violetrose]

Good morning! What's everyone up to today? Hopefully you can relax a little bit before Christmas really kicks off

[bewise]

Doctor appointment in an hour. Hoping I can convince DH to go out to breakfast afterwards (I'm sure that won't be hard). Then wrapping presents and cleaning all day. I also have to brave the grocery at some point today...or maybe I will go at like 6 am tomorrow when it most likely won't be crazy.

I'm in the hospital again. Couldn't pee again. They're talking about either leaving a catheter in or teaching me to do it myself at home. Just how I wanted to spend my Christmas...

Working on laundry this morning. Heading to my moms to borrow her dryer (ours died in sept.) I have a couple more types of cookies I'd like to make but will probably only get to 1. Finish wrapping the last of the presents and work on straightening up the house. I also have to brave the grocery store. Almost forgot I have to bring a dish to pass to my aunts.

[sabrinaml]

pinecone21, that sounds miserable.

[pinecone21]

I'm just hoping I can still travel for Christmas. We're supposed to leave today and drive 3 hours to my cousin's house. If we stay home, I don't have any food for the weekend. And my toddler will be so disappointed.

[mreve]

pinecone21 I'm so sorry, that sounds like the worst way to spend the days leading up to Christmas. I really hope you get to keep all your Christmas plans.

[mreve]

I have a lot on my list to get done today. Cleaning/sewing/laundry/cooking. Hopefully I get everything I want done and then I can take it somewhat easy the next few days. Our family obligations don't start until tomorrow afternoon, so I have the morning if needed.
I wrapped presents earlier this week and decided it was a gift bag year, so only DS will have a gift to actually "unwrap".

pinecone21, not again! That sounds terrible!

Last day of school until January 3rd! We are watching Charlotte's Web this afternoon. DH and I are driving to my parents tonight. Can't wait since I feel so much better than when I saw them on Thanksgiving!

So sorry! I hope you get some relief soon.

I braved Target with the kids this morning and it was crazy! Thankfully I got the last few items I needed. There's no way I'm leaving the house again. I have so much cleaning/cooking to get done before tomorrow evening. I'm hosting on Sunday and we are going to MIL and FIL's tomorrow night. The only issue is that I have no motivation to do it!

[bewise]

I'm sorry pinecone21!

[bewise]

Well my day didn't go as planned. I'm currently waiting at the doctor after having to postpone my appointment. We ended up having to take DD to the pediatrician this morning because our dog bit her when we were originally leaving for my appointment. She's ok, but he got her cheek pretty good. We're looking for a new home for him without kids. This is the second time he's bit a young child, so we're not willing to risk it any longer 😢

pinecone21, hope you feel better soon and can travel.

We had a half-day today at school today which was filled with church, a breakfast party, and watching Home Alone. The students also gave me the sweetest gift including a group gift card to Amazon which is perfect for getting stuff off my registry

[mreve]

bewise how scary! I hope your DD is in good spirits and recovers quickly.

[huskermom]

pinecone21, I'm sorry you're dealing with that again! I hope, if anything, they can just teach you how to self cath instead of dealing with a foley full time and that it doesn't affect your holiday plans!

bewise, so scary! I'm glad DD is doing ok. Big hugs to you. It's so hard to say goodbye to the little furballs even when you know it's for the best.

[huskermom]

I'm spending the afternoon with the girls I've nannied for the last 7 years and DS. So far it's been so much fun but I'm gonna be ready for bed tonight.

[bewise]

mreve huskermom She's doing ok. She keeps touching her cheek and saying "oww" though.😢Luckily she didn't need stitches, just neosporin 4 times a day and an antibiotic as a precaution.

It's so hard because he is a great dog for the most part. He loves to cuddle and let her pet him. But this is the second time he has just completely snapped over something pretty minor. (She came up from behind him when DH was petting him and smacked him. But she's only 19 months old, she cant hit hard and he's a big dog).

pinecone21 I'm so sorry!!

[pinecone21]

The doctor gave me the ok to travel as long as I look up the location of the nearest ER when we get there. Now I just hope we don't get stuck in traffic so that I can stop for the bathroom when needed. I'm so paranoid about holding it now!

[mreve]

pinecone21 I glad you get to keep your plans and hope everything goes smoothly for you.

I mentioned how I look young in the stupid things people say thread, well a vacuum serviceman just stopped at my house (ringing the doorbell during DS's nap, grrr) wanting to look at my vacuum and see if I needed any attachments and asked if I was the daughter 😐. I didn't even know such people stopped at houses where I live and it was very weird and awkward. I sent him away and thankfully DS did not wake up.

[bewise]

mreve, I get that all the time too. Usually the door to door salesman ask if the homeowner is home...and usually I just say "yes" and they awkwardly stare at me.

I also got carded to see a rated R movie this summer. I was 29.
