I need to run to the grocery store for 2 things, hit kohls for a maybe last minute present, and then get ready for the festivities tonight:) thanks to @bubbs119 for reminding me I wanted to get scratch offs for DH's stocking!
O just woke up but is happy so I'm going to lie in bed a bit longer. He got up twice last night which seems to be becoming normal.
I have 3, 4, 5? things left to wrap. I have to make a decent amount of food today/tonight. First family gathering is tonight. But my bffs from high school are coming over today!!!! We haven't all been together in years. I wanted to make muffins but DH ran the oven clean cycle yesterday and now it's filled with ashes. Dnw to deal with that.
Off to snuggle my baby. Merry Christmas Eve! I hope you get to go home early if you have to work today :-)
We've got a laid back day today until it's time to go to my mom's. It's going to be 70, so I hope we can squeeze a walk in!
I did just resize I didn't get anything for my cousin's little girl who comes to Christmas Eve and I probably should. I'll probably run to target and snag an arts & crafts kit or Barbie. Ugh, dnw to go to a store today!
I'm snuggling the toddler on the couch drinking coffee while the baby naps. I'm in denial about the things I still need to do. Not wrapping presents while said toddler is awake. That will have to wait until nap time.
We're having friends and their little ones over today. We don't have much left to do and the're coming over early afternoon so the evening will be just us. I'm trying not to stress though because my dog is very anxious. We've had these people over before and it went well, the dog hung out outside but I'm worried she'd not going to do that today. We have a massive great pyr/ lab mix who was abused in her former life. She's usually good once she gets to know people but any new people in the house make her nervous and instead of hiding she barks and growls. Adults coming over I just tell them ignore her because she does get over it and make friends but I'm worried about the little ones. Sorry for the novel.

We are going to brave Costco today...Not sure how stupid an idea that is, but we have to pick up calendars we had made for Christmas gifts, so it's not really optional.
In other news, I am working today, but I don't anticipate actually getting much done. Stupid maternity leave taking all my PTO!

But...will they be wrapped?!
If I can find a box small enough to wrap them in;) otherwise they'll be fanned out at the very top of his stocking;)
Everything I've eaten the past few days has been the same color, cheese color. It's going to take months to undo one week. Okay, two weeks. I have no plans of stopping til the calendar hits January.
Jealous of that beautiful snow. I'm hanging out in 78 degree weather today.
Wow. That's warm. But I'd be loving it. It won't be that warm here til May.
Anyone else's kids going absolutely bonkers today? They are bouncing off the walls and fighting non-stop. I'm about to pour myself some whiskey - you ladies are making me jealous of your alcohol infused morning coffee.
Mine are being way too good. They got out a board game, and are playing nicely. Surreal. Waiting for all hell to break loose...
wegrowsheep jealous of your white Christmas! It just doesn't feel very Christmas-ie over here.
E woke up at 5 this morning coughing so hard he threw up, poor guy. His temp is 99.7, so we're over here sleeping the day away hoping he feels better to make it to two Christmases tomorrow. I really hope we don't have to miss out. Merry Christmas Eve everyone!
P actually slept better last night but i have been awake since 4:30, when i last got up with him because i cant stop coughing. I ended up going to Target at 7:00 to get stocking stuffers (which i am NOT wrapping, TYVM) and it was blissfully empty. Then i hit up GameStop for more games for me and DH. Ended up buying four for a total of $10. Now im just trying to get any peace i can but P doesn't feel good again and is very sad and clingly. Frankly I'm ready for bedtime so we can just move on to tomorrow.
While I'm usually not a huge fan of cold and snow, it's 80 degrees here and humid AF, and I'm over it. Also, J has been up since 5:30, hasn't taken a nap, and is hardcore teething. If I wasn't so content to be on break with H, I'd be super cranky about all of this. I'm also super grateful not to have to do any real adulting just yet. The ILs have Christmas all taken care of. We just have to show up. I'm sure that will change in a few years, but I'm good with not being in charge of anything right now.
Edit: We went for a quick walk and J passed out AND H managed to extract him from the carrier and put him down for a real nap in the pnp!
I just inhaled half a bag of chocolate drizzle and sea salt popcorn from Costco. What will I binge on during nap when my seasonal obsession is gone?!?! Its soooooo amazing
Tried to get an appointment for my depression and no one would call me back. Finally got a call back from my OB office and went in for an appointment. They prescribed me prozac and it seems to work alright. I feel like it should work better but I suppose I don't know. It's only been about a week and I know I shouldn't expect results right away.
Anyways, M turned 6 months on the 18th! She's starting to crawl and has discovered how to shriek.
I've been so disinterested with everything lately. I didn't even lurk much. Pretending to be okay in front of everyone else has just taken too much out of me. Hopefully these are magic pills that make my whole life better. Probably not though. Lol
Thank you. It really means a lot to me. I have another appointment in a few weeks to see if they need to play with my dosage or not. ::blushes and gives a creepy internet stranger hug back::
Don't worry we are also solidly holding the fort down for a white and cold Christmas the high tomorroe is -20C/-4F and at the current time the windchills are -20F/-27C.
We were at my grandma's tonight and have a packed day tomorrow.
