tgrimes I’m sorry about your crazy mom. Your poor dad. Ok, so far today I’ve gone to the post office for snacks, Michaels for a picture frame for my fil’s Christmas present, and target for the rest of my baking stuff. I’ve made two batches of toffee, I have cinnamon sugar almonds in the crockpot, two batches of butterscotch cookies, molasses dough and lemon sugar dough are made and chilling, and I still need to make sugar cookies and shortbread. I want to collapse. The other two cookies may have to wait until tomorrow...

Everytime I put him in timeout he yells "but I'm gonna listen!" The words have lost all meaning. He's stopped doing that, but he used to always say, "But I WANT to listen!!" I'm like, then just F*CKING LISTEN!! This is M. He "wants" to listen. 😒

cagoldi My pregnancies were definitely different. C was a bigger baby (both weight and length) so I think she ran out of room more quickly, but anecdotally I do think B was more active. I remember occasionally being able to see him move across my stomach, and I don't recall that with C. Maybe it was b/c I had nothing else going on when I was pregnant with B so I could pay attention to stuff like that, ha. C did get the hiccups much more frequently than B so that was kind of funny.

cagoldi both kids were very active. Ds did have the hiccups all.the.time, cute and annoying at the same time. Noticing less movement may also have to do with running around after two kids and not being able to register every small wobble 😉!

I need to quit doing the exasperated sigh be Josie does now, too. cagoldi, Josie was far less active than Charlie. He moved day and night, and she was really only active once I got into bed and then once I was a sleep, I guess she was, too? The other day in the car, Dude said, "Jesus! Can't they go any faster?" Then last night he couldn't find his Second Mommy Dog in his backpack and threw all the stuff out saying, "I need to get rid of all this crap."

These almonds remind me of Paris in winter, the whole city is filled with a sweet smell and you can buy these at every street corner. I miss Paris.

The kitchen sink was full of dishes so I told him to go to the bathroom, he said "uhh whatever!" My dad was like "....did I hear that right?"

C has been name calling me lately. His newest is to call me a "whack a mole". As in "You're suck a whack a mole!" What does this mean? Where is it from? I just laugh.

A doesn't like J saying that either. So now I have to say holy cow. Does not have the same affect.

Dude figured out that Pete can't do much in the kitchen. This happened last night in the car:
Pete: you should rest, I'll cook Atticus (overhearing us): can we go to a restaurant? Pete: I think I'll just make something at home Atticus: Oh man! I don't want pancakes or spaghetti!

I got the job. I'm so nervous to turn in my resignation.
I already talked to HR, because I'm pretty good friends with her, about what I should make my last day, since two weeks is 12/25. She said they would just make my last day 12/22, which means I won't get holiday pay.
This job is actually a bit of a paycut, but they offer 19 PTO days annually, plus 7 paid holidays. And insurance is $100 cheaper a month.

Congrats mwhip!!! Did you already agree to a start date? I'd push to get holiday pay at your current job if at all possible. Telling people is the worst, I totally cried the last time I did it, which was super professional.
