mrsdee1982 , seriously? How long have they been visiting?

10 days.  They're leaving tonight or tomorrow.  

Actually, I must say, them being here the last 2 days has helped us.  Our nanny's kids have been really sick with croup, so we've had to keep C home all week.  If they hadn't been here, I would have had to take this week off of work too.  

But, I am so ready to have my house back and get C back into her routine.

I'm going to pull out all the Christmas stuff at work and decorate. Upside to having no patients today!

Inlaws arrived last night and it took exactly one hour before dh rolled his eyes at his mother. Currently in the Starbucks drive through then headed to a friends for coffee without the baby!

I forgot my lunch at home!

I wish I would have. Currently forcing myself to eat leftover pasta from last night's dinner, while my co-worker ordered Thai.

I've been dealing with on and off insomnia that I think is stemming from my anxiety about being woken up to crying.

So, as I lay awake last night, I thought about how I miss Parenthood being on tv. I often told DH jokingly that I wanted to be a Braverman, but not if that means I have to do this 3 more times. I'll be lucky if I have another LO. STM's and mama's of 3, I don't know how you do it, but there's definitely lots of respect from over here.

I took the kids to a friend's house this morning to play with another mom and her kids and her husband decided to hook up the horses and take the kids for a sleigh ride.

I lead the most stereotypical Canadian life.

Just ordered some Christmas PJs for the boys. I'm gonna do a Christmas Eve box, like I did last year. Not sure if they've been discussed here or not, but it's a box filled with PJs, a DVD, popcorn, hot cocoa, a Christmas themed book, etc. that the kids will open Christmas Eve.

Question: does anyone have one of those dyson bladeless fans? Was thinking of getting one for DH and wondered if they were worth the price tag.

We're doing oatmeal tonight. Where has my baby gone?!?

Joolschweets I'm glad the drs visit went better than you anticipated.

I had a decent day at work today. That is all I have to say.

I'm feeling really down. DB has eczema, and it's all over his diaper area. I got an rx today and bought some emu oil. He seems totally fine, but I hate looking at it. I think I've been putting too many different things on the trouble spots, I need to just stick with the emu oil and rx for overnight the next few days. I hope it goes away soon. Anybody have any tips?

For us (with DS1) it was diet. Eggs and nightshades were triggers (for him, if I ate them). Also, we used lots of aquaphor lotion.

veggiemo, my cousins have one and were raving about it at Thanksgiving. It seemed to work fine. They were suggesting we invest in them because bladeless would be handy with young kids. (We have ceiling fans though, so I'm not concerned about anyone reaching into a fan).

Soooo my secretary is also my boss's wife. Neither of them is here today and I have no idea why. But because it's been quite I've been zipping through my to-dos and finally got around to making a list of all the races I want to do next year so DH can buy me registrations for gifts. Ummmmm I'm doing A LOT of races next year. Like a minimum of 12, potentially 17, not counting last minute entries or races my friends rope me into.

We had great success with Eucerin cream in the tub. Then one day it just stopped working. He got raw from it being so bad so we got steroid cream. It works for the time we can use it then our off week it comes back in full force. Good luck!!!

Thanks for the input @kej0004 and billyhorrible. We have this awful cheap fan he's using right now and it's so obnoxious and bulky. So that's what gave me the idea, I'm sick of bumping into it and having to reposition it with its ginormous base. But...DH likes the sound a regular fan makes, so now I have no idea what to do.
