Dear God I hope this is the last time I have to actually show up to work until next week. I'm working from home tomorrow but if anything crazy happens today, I may be asked to come in.

Good morning! The Christmas dinner we hosted last night went rather well. H knocked it out of the freaking park with his menu! Beef tenderloin, green beans, pureed cauliflower, carrot potato soup, salad and rosemary bread. I have to brag about him. He's an awesome cook
Also, I'm happy because we had the nicest weekend we've had in a long time. We had family over for a cookie making party Saturday and I wanted it to be SO Christmas-y. Christmas movies playing on TV, Christmas music playing, Christmas candles lit, all the decorations out...it was so fun! Lots of good cookies too We had my sister's birthday party at our house afterwards and she was so happy. It was a very nice day.

I slept like complete crap last night. I wore fleece pajama pants because I forgot to put laundry on the dryer so my regular sweats were unavailable for wearing. It was way too hot all night long.
Taking DD to the museum this morning - it should be a fun day of play and packing to visit family later this week.
Still can't believe it's raining the week of Christmas (Iowa), but I'll take it since we're about to do a bunch of driving and winter driving usually gives me so much anxiety.

That sounds awesome!! I'm making beef tenderloin on Christmas Day.
Although at dinner last night my inlaws told me that they are bringing lasagna and pasta for side dishes. Because.....Italian.....
kayladawn91, that's how I feel about flannel sheets. H loves them but I always wake up bathed in sweat.
MH sleeps in boxers with a thin sheet and still sweats at night. I'm usually freezing but apparently we were on the same page last night. No more fleece for me. It didn't help that my dogs were in our bed and trapping my legs either.

Fleece would be too hot for me too. But I love turning my heating pad on before I go to bed. It automatically shuts off, but I usually throw it to the floor before then.

I'm so tired...got home around 2am and then had a hard time getting to sleep. I'm coming into work a little late but I still need about 5 more hours of sleep! Moar coffee!! I have to work through Christmas Eve, but have very little to do so I plan on running Christmas errands and try to be under the radar as much as possible.

I used to sleep with a heated blanket, sweats, and a sweatshirt. Lately I just can't. I've been getting way too warm at night.
I just need to get through today, then tomorrow all of my classes are taking tests (and I have an interview with Petsmart! eek!), and Wednesday is a joke of a day... then vaaacaaaaaatioooonnnn.
I have to brave the grocery store today and finish shopping tomorrow as well. That should be interesting.

I'm working from home today. I have a cold so I used the excuse that I didn't want to spread my germs but really I just didn't want to get out of my pj's today.

Oooooo enjoy Disney ironbaby!! So much fun mrsjene FX nothing crazy happens and you can enjoy down time singingsea that sounds delicious!! Way to go to YH! requiressnacks I came in here to see if anyone mentioned the Miss Universe thing. It was completely embarrassing. How awful for Miss Colombia! DH text me this morning and told me about it.
Steve Harvey a said that Miss Columbia won Miss Universe. They crown her and she's all excited, then he comes back on stage and says that really Miss Philippines had won. So they take Miss Columbia's crown. It's horrible.
My boss starts her vacation tomorrow, so I'll be starting my "vacation" tomorrow too. Technically, I'm not off until Thursday.
Separately, that clip from the Miss Universe pageant is so heartbreaking. Honestly, that may have been the most awkward thing I've seen all year.
I've been hearing about the Miss Universe pageant but haven't seen the clip, what happened?
SPOILER: Miss UNIVERSE
Steve Harvey misread the card. He announced Miss Colombia as the winner when in reality Miss Philippines won. Colombia had the crown on and everything. Steve came back out and apologized. Then the correctly crowned Miss Philippines.
We almost said yes to an emergency foster placement of 3 month old and 12 month old siblings on Friday. We are licensed for foster-to-adopt, rather than straight foster, so we ended up saying no because it was a high legal risk placement, which we weren't comfortable with. I keep wondering if we made the right decision, but it's too late now, so I really need to stop thinking about it.
I think I sampled too many of the goodies I baked this weekend. My pants are a bit tight this morning. Ugh. They're so yummy, though.
I finally talked DH into carpeting our living room. We had torn the nasty old blue carpet out a few years ago and the hardwood underneath is in terrible shape. We want to refinish all the floors, but it just hasn't happened yet. The wood floors in the rest of the house are in pretty good shape, but the living room is so embarrassing. They're coming out to measure on Thursday and they seemed confident that the carpet can be installed the first week of January, which I'm psyched about because we're having a wine tasting party that weekend. I just hope nobody spills wine on the brand new carpet. Though, the LifeProof carpet we ordered claims that water can get any stain out. I think it's is going to really brighten the room up, and I'll be extra glad it's carpeted if we have a baby in the house at some point.

The worst part is that Miss Columbia needed a translator and had no idea what was going on until last years Miss Columbia (2014 Miss Universe) came out to take back the crown!

Yay for new carpet.
I have so many questions about how 3 month and 12 month siblings exist.

I really don't understand why we have school at all this week. The kids are over it, the teachers are over it, and we should have just had the whole week off.
