Morning! I’m having a cup of coffee while the kids play. We have 20 minutes before we need to leave. I go in late on Tuesdays because of preschool drop off. I wish I could start work at 9 every day!

Has she seen the movie yet? Maybe that will help her understand better. She refused. I only like the original animated one and it was on the other night. She wanted to watch youtube videos instead. I kept it on and was trying to get her interested, but she just got annoyed and left the room entirely. She did the same thing with Rudolph was on this weekend. She told mh she only likes the music, not the shows. ETA: I don't think she is scared of the grinch, per se. I think her main concern is losing her presents. LOL.

Morning!
B seems to be feeling better so hopefully we can get out and run an errand or two today. I’m getting a little cabin-feverish.
I think my Christmas shopping is 99% done—I need to order one small thing for my H and get him a couple more stocking stuffers. Kids are done, Santa is done. My problem is, I keep shopping for myself 😳

So HR was in my bosses office for awhile, he came out and told me he'd have good news for me this afternoon.
I emailed the recruiter that found the other job for me and told her I was weighing my options, that I have been given information which had I known about prior, I wouldn't have been looking for a job. But that I also realize what a great opportunity I have been offered. She asked me to call her when I get a chance.
This shit drives me crazy.

C asked Santa for a remote control t-rex. Ok, great! Well, I put MH in charge of that and he ordered this all silver ages 8 and up one. He ALWAYS does that. He got him a remote control car thing for ages 14 and up before. Drives me nuts because it just ends up being super frustrating for C and us cause he needs so much help.

They're fighting over you! This can only turn out good for you!

Those shoes are so cute guster. B refuses to wear anything w laces though. I have a pristine pair of baby pink converses she got last year and I hate that they’ve gone to waste.

Charlie's stocking is very meager this year. I kind of feel bad about it, but I don't think it's going to bother him in the least. I still need to fill in a few holes for Josie's. Mostly nail polish, hair bows, and lip gloss. I just bought the winky lux 24 k glimmer balm and the girl thinks it's hers.

What if you replace the laces with the stretchy straight laced so she can just slide them on and not have to tie them? Also, when I posted them I could totally see B loved by them.

The converses are a loss as she’s in the next size up now. But this could work for future....

The elf arrived at our house. C said he doesn't like finding elves and doesn't want it watching us. Probably because he's been so poorly behaved he doesn't want Santa to know. When I read the letter about the elf watching he almost cried. He is not excited at all.
Then on the drive to school I told him I wanted to get him a piggy bank and he could do stuff to help around the house and make $. His response "Umm, I think I'm gonna be too tired all the time. Sorry".

I'm stressed enough that I still need to get a gift card that I can get anywhere!

guster since we're Jewish we don't do stockings, but my friends often put snacks and stuff in the kids stockings. What about throwing in some pouches or something like that. B would probably prefer that to any toy I could give him!

wineallthetime Eh we only do want, need, wear, read, Santa and stocking so I try not to stress too much about it. We are doing a trampoline from Santa, so that's the only thing that stresses me since I'm not lugging that back and forth. I'll have to figure out something for her to open Christmas morning to represent it that she will understand.
