I'm not sure yet how I am today. I will attempt some breakfast and see, I guess. Luckily DH is home so he's taking care of the girls while I sit on the couch and daze off. We had to cancel plans with H's aunt and uncle today which stinks. I'd rather not pass this on to anyone though, especially his immunocompromised Uncle.
We have been busy busy around here this morning getting ready for the in laws to arrive. H is now off to pick them up from the airport we have a few hrs before they will be back. DS is now sure he needs to be held, good thing we are done cleaning and there will be plenty of hands to hold him.

Spent the morning hanging out with my sister & BIL & parents. Came home for lunch & nap except DS fell asleep on the way so I guess lunch will be after nap.
dreemkin sorry you had to cancel plans but I hope everyone is well for the weekend.
Went in to make up some hours today for a little bit and then when I get home I need to try and get some cleaning done before V comes back from my mom's. Tonight is going to be a busy night trying to put together a kitchen.
So my appetite backfired on me and I had more terrible bathroom issues last night. I even had to pull out the imodium which I usually won't take (better out than in, I always say). Now my husband yelled at me this morning that I haven't been saying 'please' enough to him. And he was saying he was achy and tired from "toting the kids around, grocery shopping, laundry, and playing with the girls". So things I do every damn day. Now I'm upstairs fuming and hurt and upset that I'm most likely missing the christmas eve gathering aaaagain. Oh yeah not to mention feeling like shit....no pun intended.
I am glad he apologized dreemkin I would have been pissed and hurt too at that type of comment. And i am sorry you are still having a rough go of it. :/
Yesterday C was super clingy to me. It's so exhausting I love the snuggles but I get so touched out, add in trying to 'share' him with the in laws who just arrived it just gets stressful. However this morning he took over a 3 hr nap on fil. Wahoo.
Now if I could just get fil to use adjectives other than pretty and silly to describe S.oyi. last night it was 'S eat your peas so you can grow up to be pretty'. Ugh. I always cringe when we calls her pretty (because it's literally the only thing he says to her) but that just pissed me off. I have a lot of things I hope she aspires to and pretty is not one of them.
Merry Christmas Eve! And also happy first day of Hanukkah!
dreemkin sorry for the resurgence, I hope you can actually kick this thing soon. I'm glad your DH apologized.
Last night I got upset that DH was on his phone again. I swear I hardly ever see him not on his phone. I nag him lots about it, and that never ends up with him actually putting the phone down (or with either of us in a good mood). But last night we were watching my favorite Christmas movie and I tried to phrase my nagging differently and in a nicer tone, and he actually put down his phone and we cuddled on the couch till bedtime. Wish I could figure out how to repeat it.

DS is taking a nap and I think I'll get one too. I know H is wiped from watching DS this week (my turn this week), but I sent him to the store to get sandwich stuff for lunch and vegetables for tonight.
The ILs are awake from their morning nap, but I don't feel like socializing right now.
kartish yay for phone free snuggles! I've had periodic success with asking DH if we can both put our devices in another room for, say, the hour before we go to bed. Making it about both of us helps, even if one of us is actually the target audience ;-)

Long day of family but it was good. My mom's sister is in from Colorado and G told her she was his best friend, so that made her day.
Tried to go to my parents' house so I could hang out with my sister while G napped but he freaked out and refused to sleep. But was still pretty well behaved in church this evening so I'll call today a win.
I loaded up in imodium and was able to go to my cousin's! I actually felt pretty good and was able to eat a little! The girls had a blast. Got Santa things done and we are turning in! Good night! Merry Christmas!

Christmas eve dinner worked really well. Got DS's kitchen assembled (next time we do it over the course of a few days.
Christmas morning went well. The ILs actually got up with us! DS loves his new trike, kitchen, bus, truck, books, and easel. We've read Dinosaur Rescue probably 20 times today.
Making enchiladas and listening Christmas pop music while DS and H take the trike around the basketball court.

seamonster my parents gave Dinosaur Dig and Dinosaur Zoom to G. As soon as he opened them he didn't want to open anything else; we had to read them immediately.

They are awesome. Penny Dale is the greatest author and illustrator of books for toddlers ever. Suck it, Beatrix Potter. I'm getting DS her dinosaurs in space book for his birthday.
I hope everyone had a wonderful day! Even though I was still having bathroom issues I made it through with meds and we hosted a nice Christmas with my parents and sister. The girls had a great time opening presents and N was very excited that Santa and the reindeer ate the goodies we left out for them.

The rat guy comes today! DS decided to nap in the stroller on the way home from the playground so afternoon nap is going to blow. Once H gets home from running he needs to make FIL and SMIL get dressed so we can get dim sum before our dining furniture is delivered and the rat guy comes. I was going to send them to lunch while DS napped, but now we can all go.
