I know my phone always capitalizes randoms<-- except this one time. Thanks for proving me wrong phone!
1 more wakeup for work. I feel like the Little engine that could...I think I can I think I can.
Thanks to all the well wishes for the U/S yesterday. I have to call the pediatrician to see what the results are. They offered to tell us at the radiology place, but we had already been there an hour passed our appointment time and DH was cranky. We would've had to wait probably another half hour, it wasn't worth it in my eyes.
DH woke me up this morning to show me that there was spiders nests going from our Christmas tree across the entire ceiling in our kitchen into all of the recessed lighting. Little tiny ass spiders all up in every light. Fuuuuuck.
And morning! It's my last day of work until January 4th. We have a service project this morning (we're packing school supplies for underprivileged kids - the population I usually work with!) and then an all-school holiday song sing along in the afternoon. I made some sated caramel chocolate pretzel bark and I hope it's a good day!

Ugh @bubbs119, what a shitty way to start the day. I'd also be getting the tree out of there at this point. At least it didn't happen on Christmas or Christmas Eve, right?
Good luck at the dentist Joolschweets today. Hope it's not a root canal!
We have our holiday party at work today. 12-2. They may or may not let us leave early. Probably not because they made us organize and pay for our own party anyway. Lame. Then M has his 6 month appointment. Hope shots aren't so bad!
It feels like a Cold War between my MIL and DH now. They'll talk to me about it, but not to each other. If only she would admit to needing help, this would be sooo much easier.

I had an awful dream last night that my baby (but it wasn't DD??) had little pimples all over her and when the popped little worm things poked out and it turned into an awful all over rash. Hork. And now reading @bubbs119 spider problem I'll be on hyper alert for creepy crawlies all day!!

@bubbs119 I'm so sorry. I hope you can get it all dealt with and you don't have to worry about it anymore over the holidays!
Got a decent about of sleep last night whoop whoop! Since I haven't really slept in 2 weeks. Currently laying in bed with a crazy rolling around wiggly baby who is trying to attack my phone. Going to holiday mart with my brother to hopefully finish off my Christmas shopping!
I vacuumed out all of the lighting only for more webs to immediately return and more spiders coming out of the lights. I also found a GIANT web across the back side of the tree. I've enlisted help to come over and get this tree out of my house. I'm so disturbed right now.
Both kids are very reliably up at 7, this morning DD woke up screaming at 6 and couldnt fall back asleep (nightmare?) promptly followed by DS waking up because he had a huge load in his diaper and has caught his sisters cold AGAIN so he is all stuffy and cant breathe :/ oh and DH is all huffy for no real reason. What a dumb morning

FFTC: I got into a fight with DH this AM because he wasn't helping with DB so I could get to work. He was all "I don't understand when you need to be there! You're always changing it up!" And I was all "just stop complaining and help me!"
... And I'm sitting at Panera enjoying second breakfast and Internet time for 15 minutes before work. It is awesome.

carrots Awe, poor thing! Did they end up feeding him after all? Just remind yourself it won't permanently hurt him... And then let daycare know if you want them to proceed differently next time!
In the spirit of things, my phone always capitalizes CHRISTMAS and DECEMBER lol. I've had this phone for almost two years now and have never looked if there's a way to fix it.
@bubbs119, ewwww now I'm totally creeped out about our real tree. Hopefully you get rid of the little pests soon.
budders, I'm so sorry your little man is still feeling rotten. Hopefully he kicks it soon.
Not much here today, hanging out around the house with DH and maybe some Christmas baking. I might have to remake the gingerbread since I MIGHT have ate almost the whole batch....oops.

They ended up taking him to the other baby class and that distracted him enough that he was completely fine until it was time for his next bottle but they said it took him a full 15 minutes to calm down. I'm ok with that but hate that he got so upset.
Similarly, J got really jealous of new babies who were brought into his room at daycare. He would fuss and cry if they were being held, which is extra ridiculous because he actually prefers to be "loose" over being held. He got over it after a couple of days, but the director did take him for a few solo walks on her rounds to help the transition. His teachers told me that it was totally normal.
Update: I had to remove every lightbulb to vacuum in the recessed areas and shake/blow out each LED bulb because they also took up residence in the bulbs. Undecorated the tree, found more webs and spider. Called the place we got it for advice and they said they've had 3 similar complaints this year. Exchanged it for a new tree. New tree is sitting in the garage since it's raining. Will have to decorate again tonight when DH gets home.
FWIW I did contemplate just burning my house down.
You sound so calm in this update, but in my version, you're running around with the vacuum, screaming at every random would-be spider speck of dust.
Oh @bubbs119 I would not be able to handle that...also would not be able to but another tree in my house.
I'm home with a sick S today. I am taking her to the dr because she was pulling at her ears lastnight in addition to the awful cough, snotty nose and low grade fever.
budders, I also recommend leaving early for a nap.
Ladies who want a cricut I highly recommend buying an old one second hand. We were able to "hack" mine so now I can just cut anything I download basically. And by we I mean my husband...I'm not tech savy enough to do it. But I think the newer ones they've made sure you can't do it.
erbear, mine was actually new but I got it so many years ago. There are tons on Ebay or often Kijiji or even garage sales have them sometimes. I actually have two at the moment because a friend gave me her small one and her gypsy because she didn't use them. I promised the small one to another friend and then managed to misplace the cords...
