So tired. Jules does not like being away from home so she is protesting sleep and will only be held by me. There are 6 other people around who want to hold her.
LO slept really well in her crib again - only two wake ups! We don't have any plans today; it's going to be cold and snowy and we desperately need to clean our house.
I was thinking about how I'm making a pork loin and we have a New Year's pretzel for good luck today. Anyone else have any traditions for New Year's Day?
I was up at 11:00 feeding C so I decided to wake up and say happy new year est it counts right?
C slept really well last night. Plans for the day are going to visit a friend and her newborn and some house organization. I need to run by the dollar store for bins.
I am putting on the black eyes peas, hog jowls and greens now for lunch later. I made the cornbread last night.

erbear we'll be having pork and sauerkraut at my mom's (new years tradition)
I was up at midnight...DH and I ended up going to be at 1152 but I hadn't fallen asleep and all the fireworks woke LO. (I was surprised at how many fireworks there were but then again we didn't live here until Aug so I didn't know what to expect)
Owen got up at 1130 so I nursed him/dozed until midnight. I found H gave him a kiss (while wearing my night guard) and went back to bed. To wish me happy new year, Owen had a blowout this morning. Thanks?
I don't think there's photographic evidence of me at NYE parties. I'm a teacher and am terrified of getting fired over those kinds of pictures. But we used to throw decent sized parties (15-30 people) every year. We didn't last year bc H got his wisdom teeth out on 12/30 and had serious complications. If O had been a better sleeper I probably would have done something this year. But, I'm not missing the hangover that today normally brings. We have zero plans today. I might get to watch more Outlander but feel weird watching it with O. It's graphic in many senses. I cover his eyes while it's on...FFFC?
Why on earth did I stay up until 2? It's not like I was doing anything good. I was watching Taken 3, for no reason. Then I had to get up for my 5am pump. Not good sleep & I told DH to sleep in today so I can sleep in tomorrow. Not good planning.
I don't have any crazy NYE pictures because of the teacher thing and also we usually don't do anything. We were going to have a party one year and I got sick. I think we still have the plates and the glasses and everything!
We did get really drunk in Savannah 4 years ago on New Years. We went to the beach (Tybee Island) and came back and went to a chocolate bar and a dueling piano bar.
So here is one of my best NYE pictures. We were living in Boston at the time and went to a drag show NYE party. The "ladies" were hysterical and very involved with the audience. Here I am about to get an up close grind to the face
Also how was i wearing such a minuscule dress in Boston in December??? what a sloot I was
I've never heard of making certain foods for the new year! I was up watching Criminal Minds until I fell asleep on the couch around 12:30 with a stomach ache from too many bacon wrapped smokies and misc sugar. Woke up and went to bed after 1am, DH played video games until 4am. E is laying in bed awake and talking to me while DH sleeps... FFSC: I do this every time DH stays up super late gaming because E will wake him up and I don't care if he is tired on the weekend when he wastes his time with video games. He literally plays from the first time he walks out of the bedroom until after dinner when I start getting really mad at him. Anyone want to come smash a computer and a few consoles for me??

*poof* about 7 years ago drinking on the streets of Seattle. I had come down from where I was living at the time to go out with friends. About 10 of us shared a hotel room... And I woke up missing one contact and I hadn't brought my glasses down, so I had to do some emergency eyeglass buying. Thank god I carried my prescription in my wallet.
My kids decided to sleep in until 9 today, including a 4 hour stretch in the crib for DD which is a big deal for her. I've decided to wean her from BFing partially due to me starting to lose my sanity, and last night was the most sleep I've gotten in a very, very long time. I'm glad to know I'm making the right decision-it's feeling like a huge weight being lifted off my shoulders.
I can't find any good embarrasing NYE pics! I must have kept them off FB or deleted them haha.
To coffee or to nap? I'm leaning towards coffee. Usually when I try to nap, I can't and just end up more tired from trying to fall asleep. I think I'll have H stop at Starbucks for a peppermint mocha on the way home.
I'm missing all the photos because I was napping in the recliner with the baby...for the last 3 hours. I regret nothing.
Well, I do wish I could have seen some of those photos. What fun.
And budders, as creepy as this sounds, I wish there was a way I could help you out. First off, our jobs teaching sped are NOT easy, and then to have a sick baby on top of that? I'm sorry girl.
Total lazy day over here too. DH and I have watched 5 episodes of Making a Murderer. I'm addicted.
I vaguely remember of lot of this in the news when it was happening. I feel like there have been a good number of high class cases that happened in Wisconsin, what's with that?

DH and I started watching that on Wednesday, but I just wasn't getting in to it....we turned it off after 3/4 of the first episode. I feel like I'm missing out:(

We went to Ikea today (and got a kick ass parking spot!) to get a new duvet and cover for our master bedroom. I'm excited bc H is building me a headboard and hanging up some decorations soon so this will be the perfect finishing touch:)

It gets a lot better. More and more people are brought into the case making it complicated and very interesting.

The show sounds interesting. Is it on Netflix?
Yes ma'am. I don't know exactly when it was released, but it's within the past couple of weeks or so.

ugh don't nap. I decided to try to nap when ds2 was napping and I just feel way worse now. My body feels all tingly and weird it's like an in between awake and nap phase. Maybe I need to make some coffee. I wasn't even tired why the hell did I think napping was a good idea?!
Ugh. I hate that feeling! I think I'll stick with Starbucks.
