I finished off two days of IL's by driving home the long way to get vaccines for the calves we're branding tommorow, and arriving at home with no keys. DH met me at my folks place and gave me his key, and then left to go back to his parents' house for poker night. I once again drove home, and bundled up the kids and baby so we could feed and water rabbits and chickens by flashlight. And then fed us dinner. Kids are all asleep, but the wine is gone so I made M&M cookies. Dh home in 30 min. Tomorrow is calf branding, then ballet with DD, followed by a baby shower for my best friend. It is her first, and has taken some time to happen, and I want to buy her all the things! 50% off at Gymboree was dangerous and fun.
My parents are taking us out to "dinner" (they call it that but they eat at 3 PM) for my birthday (which is Monday) today. I've about had my fill of my mom for a bit and I didn't even get to choose where I wanted to go, so I'm not exactly looking forward to it.
wegrowsheep yum cookies! I hope you find your keys soon!
@erbear That sucks that you didn't get to choose I hope whatever you have is delicious, though. Happy pre-birthday!
Heading to a craft fair with my mom and sister today. I hope I find some fun holiday gifts, lately the craft fairs have been a bit disappointing. When I get home I really have to convince myself to do school work so I don't have to do it tomorrow. I hope I can do it. I hate when I disappoint myself.
stinybean I love actual craft fairs, but the last few I've been to have been overrun by MLM "businesses" instead of crafts. Sorry, dnw nail stickers or face wash or tote bags while I'm looking for cool, handmade things!
WE'RE GOING ON A DATE TODAY!!!! It's our second since O was born. Our last one was in August while on vacation. I think we're seeing Mockingjay and going to our favorite restaurant. I'm supposed to call MIL once I see a pattern in O's day to let her know when we're bringing him over. He's still not a great napper without his swing or a boob to put him to sleep. We'll see how it goes. Also, my house needs to get decorated!!
Edit bc you obviously need to know I had pumpkin pie for breakfast! Delicious!
I need a new tree topper. My husband put his Ron Burgundy doll at the top for now, lol. Our Santa inflatable burned out, too, so I might pick up a new one of those, too.
In NE visiting with my dad and his side of the family. My little brother and his 2 girls are here too. The oldest of the 2 nieces is driving me nuts!! She won't leave C alone, constantly touching him or in his face- which results in C getting upset and when I ask her to stop she gets all pouty and starts crying. It's been a long weekend! Leaving the family lake this afternoon to drive to my grandmas, spend the night and get up and head home tomorrow morning.

DH went into work this morning, even though he works a Monday-Friday job. He's been ridiculously busy lately and working a ton of overtime. So I'm just sitting here whining about the fact that I can't have my highly anticipated long, Saturday shower because nobody is here to watch the kids.
We have a Christmas dinner tonight with some friends, but it's not until 6:30. Bedtime is typically at 7, so it should be interesting. Wish us luck!
It's cold cold cold here this weekend plus snow and lots of ice on the roads so we're just staying in and taking it easy.
Last night was the Baylor-TCU game, which was just beyond painful to watch. And not becuase Baylor lost. Five hours, including double overtime, of slop ball in pouring rain and standing water on the field is just too much. I was just glad it finally ended so I could go to bed.
We put up the tree this morning. DH and I had a quick date lunch while the baby took a nap. Tonight while he's at work I'll finish putting out the Christmas village while watching the OkSt-OSU game.
Tomorrow, we have no specific plans. We may go out to look at TV's and figure out which one we want to buy for the family room. And football. Always football.
erbear LOL! We just did a Target run for all our missing Christmas decor.
Missed you ladies! Work has been absolutely overwhelming and I haven't done anything except come home, play with H and try to sleep. Hope I didn't miss anything juicy!
It's been so nice having a couple days off. The ILs have been around helping with H so we could spend some time with our nieces and nephew, which is great! I also got to hang out with BFF and her girls while they're nearby visiting her parents.
I got a new job, which I'm thrilled about, and so I get to go in on Monday and give my resignation an excellent end to an excellent weekend!
It's another teaching job but this time it's ONLY teaching (none of the admin tasks they've dumped on me at my current job because they didn't want to pay an actual program coordinator). I'll be teaching 7th grade ELA. I'm really excited! My principal at my current job gets worse by the week and I can't wait to be away from him. I've been in an IBS flare-up all week because of the stress. So glad freedom is in sight!

J and I were up a good portion of the night due to him having a cold. He slept 715 to 9, 11 to 1230, 145 to 4, and 515 to 645. I got about 3 hours total, since I had to be at work at 7 am. So, I napped all afternoon.
Went to target to look for a new tree. Ours is a cheapo one from Walmart 10 years or so ago. Didn't find anything though. Did remember to buy a humidifier and a nose frida though.

Had a fun time at friend's baby shower today. T was one of 3 babies there, and was super-charming to all the old ladies (it was her family shower, complete with great aunts and elderly grandparents, very sweet). One woman called him a girl, and felt bad about her mistake. I was like, whatever, blame the eyelashes. He's a pretty baby!
DH and I spent that time having an argument via text. I told him to grow up. He said my attitude sucked. I was actually pleased that he got upset, he usually just pouts for days. We're good now.
Just woke and realized I slept through pumping- 2 hours late. My boobs didn't notify me either. I hope this means that I get more milk. It probably won't.
Lazy day here, DH has been working all weekend and I'm getting bored by myself. I'm waiting for E to fall asleep so I can bring up all of the Christmas decorations and start making this place look like tinsel town!! We found out 2 weeks ago that we need a new roof on the house. Ugh to being a homeowner. DH said that something in our budget had to go, so right away he eliminated 6mo photos. I did a little early 6mo session of my own yesterday and think they turned out really good! Not to AW but...
Hello weekend! Had a few rough days attempting to take our terrible twos toddler and baby to the mall shopping for winter clothes. It was a reminder why I love online shopping. I think he is having a hard time because we moved out of our house. I'm taking him to a local street tomorrow that puts Christmas lights up early so maybe that will cheer him up.
The first open house for our old home is today. Then we have a follow up one this Tuesday, Thursday and next Sunday. Hoping we get some strong offers.
Does anyone NOT use a cart cover? I'm trying to justify buying one. We already have so many things we have only used a few times.
You could definitely get away without it. I found mine for $15 on Amazon back in the spring, and I like that it has the more secure seat belt, padding for the bar because he eats everything, and has loops so that we can hook on his toys. We've also used it in restaurant high chairs, so I feel like it was worth the purchase. But you could certainly just use your own blankets if you didn't want to purchase one.
What she said and as you can see in the picture I clearly didnt spring for a new "boyish" one for brother
I feel like I need a weekend to recover from this holiday weekend. Today was the first day we were at home most of the day so i had to get caught up on all of the household stuff in preparation for work tomorrow. But i was able to finish decorating today so that makes me happy. I just have to finish wrapping presents.
