I'd be pretty perturbed at that too Pizzaslut. @shakeitoff hope you're feeling better soon!

jedi,there are definitely some places I could take him. It just is a lot more work than dropping him off at daycare and having them do it. I know he behaves better for them than me!

I mean I pay them $11,000 a year for part-time care, you'd think I could get out of having to do this. Lol.

Does the arguing and bickering ever stop between similar aged kids? Z and A are toddlering SO HARD today. Everything is "mine" "no me!" and tantrum after tantrum. My level of annoyed has skyrocketed. I just can't get over how they are fighting with each other. And Z is being purposely fresh to A, like holding toys that she knows A wants above her head and taunting her. How does she learn that stuff??
I need a drink. Or a nap.

Oh and I'm really annoyed at daycare. They scheduled their Christmas party wiht Santa for next Thursday, when J isn't there. I asked if my mom could drop him off just for the party but they said either 1) she would have to stay with him or 2) we have to pay $72 for an extra day. I'm not going to make my mom be the only other adult there. Plus, he won't play with his friends or sit with Santa if his Mimi is there. This is how I get my Christmas picture very year. DNW to go stand in line at the mall. That's super lame. I know that the kids who aren't scheduled for today at P's daycare (their holiday party, and Santa will be there), have the option of coming for the party.

I'd also be annoyed Pizzaslut. Could you switch a day? I have been able to do that before for M to attend a party.

M has gotten on a kick about my boobs again. He keeps pulling my shirt down all the freaking time. Plus I'm trying to delay sizing up in my bras until next month, so he is making my boob pop out. Fun times.

How'd the vegan snack procurement go aydee ? I went to Trader Joes this morning and picked up sesame sticks, avocados to make guacamole with multigrain chips, vegan egg rolls, and edamame hummus with carrots, snap peas, cucumber, and celery to dip. I think that's enough variety. I bought other nonvegan stuff as well. I just need to figure out something vegan for dessert. I was running short on time (preschool pickup was looming) so I didn't have time to read labels and see if there was something there I could buy.

Guys! Favorite things was fun! I got some cute socks, some wine glass markers and a chapstick holder that clips to your keys. My books were well received 2/3 if the moms seemed excited and one even pointed to one books another mom got and said I’ve read that one! I loved it. She’s very excited to read station 11. we have similar tastes in books.

So happy it's Friday. I worked my ass of yesterday and have a glimmer of hope of not needing to go in tomorrow to get some stuff done. Fx I can keep that focus today.
Another happy now, I'm 14 weeks tomorrow, so I can finally dye my hair again! Bye bye roots!

H and I have our monthly(ish) date day/night tomorrow. We need it so badly. We're going into the city, meeting at our friends apartment for drinks and apps and then walking over to see the tree at Rockefeller center. Then dinner. I'm really excited! My parents are watching the kids, and they're taking them to one of those drive through light shows. We usually take them every year, but with everything going on with house hunting/selling, I don't think we'll find the time to bring them. So it'll be a festive day for all of us tomorrow

& Happy Friday!!!!!
I canceled our only showing today because we got an oil delivery yesterday and the idiots started putting the oil in the wrong spot and got oil all over the driveway and some of the foundation. So it smells and we don't need people coming to look at the house and smelling oil. The company is coming back today to clean it up properly after H called and bitched them out last night. Plus we have an inspector coming tomorrow morning with the potential buyers and all we need is a freaking inspector to smell oil!!!
Why do we even make a note on our account as to where to fill if they're not going to follow it?!?!

Last night Poppy’s daycare class did a holiday “show” and then Santa came. They danced to “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” and sang jingle bells. Sort of. With all the parents watching, some of the little ones definitely got stage fright. Poppy mostly looked like a deer in headlights. But it was cute overall. Then Santa came in and each of them got a chocolate and a present. When Santa first entered, Poppy screamed in fright and ran to me crying. But then, as other kids got presents and, more importantly, candy, she warmed up and she posed for a pic, as long as I was there too. Her daycare teacher is going to send that to me. Overall, a very cute night. Here’s one of P as they tried to wrangle them for the performance. PDQ

I'm working at home this morning and letting C watch shows on the iPad. I feel really guilty when I do that. I'm going to talk with HR today about maternity leave. We have zero paid leave where I work. I will need to use a combo of PTO and short term disability. I am afraid that the short term disability is going to be a giant pain to use but I'm determined to take 3 months off this time.
