mladerri you send 80 cards?!? Wow! I thought my 50 was too much.
It's a lot of family! I'm writing hand written notes on the back of the cards this year and making a note of who isn't getting one next year. I also might start implementing the "you don't send me one I don't send you one" rule for friends.

I have a Google drive spreadsheet that serves as my address book/Christmas card tracker. I usually give it two years in a row before I yank them off my list, unless of course I would want to send them one anyways.
My insomnia was bad Sunday night and I only got a couple hours of sleep. I was exhausted last night and when I finally laid down in my bed I had a breakdown because I realized I was looking forward to DS's bedtime so that I could rest. I felt like the shittiest mother. Ugly crying into my pillow. I used to feel like there was not enough time to spend with him after work and before bedtime, but being pregnant and not sleeping, all I want to do is go to bed. This isn't fair to him. I know I need to give myself a break, but that's easier said than done.
I totally understand the guilt and impulse to think you're a shitty mom in this situation (which you are not!). But trust that EVERY parent, on lots and lots of days, is pumped about bedtime. I think it's a completely natural feeling. We all need time to ourselves, not to mention rest while pregnant!
This! I've had days like this too where I'm just looking forward to nap or bed so I can sit and relax for a bit or go to sleep myself. I think it's perfectly normal especially being pregnant and exhausted from that as well. I'm feeling really guilty about TV lately and have cut it but she's going through a phase where she melts down every time I leave the room and I'm just so tired that sometimes it's easier to put something on and relax with her or try and get something done. It's my big mom guilt right now! I think we are just doing our best and it doesn't mean we are bad moms. Just a period of time that will pass.

Oh hi ladies! I've been away for a while, slacking here because doing actual work has been important.
Our jail guards have set a strike date of December 28, and I have spent the last 1.5 weeks fielding calls from clients who are serving sentences/in custody pending trial and family members that yes they will still be released, no it won't be a free for all, yes they'll still have court dates.
The next person who asks me why we couldn't get their sentence to end before a strike date we knew nothing about until 2 weeks ago may actually make me lose my cool.
