Good morning!
Is everyone sleeping in?

I'm here. Work is insane. My boss started to get snippy with me for not getting a signature on a form - that he never gave to me and had locked in his office. Hopefully he loses the attitude. I am not in the mood for it.

I ordered two boxes of Christmas crackers, and I think Josie and Charlie will really have a blast with them.
I'm planning on setting our Christmas table with them, but because I ordered so many I'm going to add them to the top of the gift cards I bought for my cousins. I think i'll add a candy cane and the packages will look more festive than my typical scratch off and bow combination.

Yes I had it throughout with LO but the first tri was much worse this time. It's starting to get better where I am only sick in the morning and in the evening. Lunch time is not too bad any more. Silver lining.

guster what crackers did you buy The Tom Smith ones on Amazon. I saw that they were lots available at Target and William Sonoma, but I didn't feel like braving the shops today.

The stuff inside is cheesy but fun.

Morning!
No big plans today; we have a roof leak (or should I say, the owners of this house have a leak 😅) so I’m meeting with a contractor at 2. B’s sports class has a parent ‘watch day’ today so C and I will be going to that, as well.
DH’s big gift came yesterday; luckily I intercepted it and hid it in my car, but I need to get it wrapped before he sees the box.

flamingo, I think it's more the act of the surprise-- although, I'm sure everyone will love the foil crowns. And it will make for a festive table.

I have never heard of Christmas crackers. Is this something I need?
I talked to the recruiter last night on my way home and told her I would have a decision made by the end of the day.
The Barbie house from TRU delivered yesterday.

Oh my lord. Not a whimsical day for me--a horrifying day. I'm sure vino will he jealous, but for some godforsaken reason I had a sex dream last night with Justin Beiber. Ew! His body guard was nearby watching too while we did it in the shower. I need a shower now.

The Barbie house from TRU delivered yesterday. We're here if you want to talk anything out. I'm also really glad the Barbie house delivered. Christmas crackers are these little foil wrapped packages that you pull on each end, and inside are little surprises like a joke, a paper or foil crown and a little toy. They also sell more expensive ones with little silver trinket in it like a pen or a keychain, and they do sell ones that you can stuff yourself and fill with little tiny bottles of booze (or whatever else you want)

We always used to do Christmas crackers in the office when I worked for the Brits. I have since brought the tradition to every job I’ve had after that Bc it’s such cheesy fun. I usually get mine at Pier 1.
And good morning everyone.

Ours are definitely of the low-end variety, lol, but they are really pretty on the table and yes, the kids love them. Guster, I didn’t know they sold empty ones, that is neat. I know MIL has stocked up for this year but maybe next year I’ll look into those.

Morning ladies! Love Christmas crackers, so fun! Crazy busy day today, if I have to put on coats one more time I’m losing it! Had a plumper over because our downstairs toilet was clogged (according to the plumber one of the kids probably flushed a whole roll of toilet paper...) and one of our radiators wasn’t hooked up since the reno. Everything after just didn’t go as planned, I forgot half my groceries, our tree didn’t fit in the stand, stands were sold out everywhere, finally found one, realised I forgot my wallet, had to cycle back to get it in the rain. I’m currently watching my kids go nuts with pillows while drinking coffee. I have a office party tonight for which I bought a blue lace dress in which i plan to squeeze all of me, Dh loved it, so it’s probably a little too tight 😉.

Morning! It's been busy at work and I had my anatomy scan. All looks well and I had a lot of boy thoughts throughout, so we'll see! Unfortunately MH missed the appointment, but it was pretty uneventful.

I read "Christmas crackers" and thought they were a Christmas version of animal crackers.

I was adamant C was a boy and would have been shocked if he were a girl! With L I had girl thoughts initially and then flip flipped throughout. I predicted girl, but wouldn't have been surprised either way. I had initial girl thoughts with this one, so we'll see!

Morning! chrisy01 I’m sorry you are still dealing with the pregnancy sickness. I had a friend who threw up every single day of her entire pregnancy. That sounds just awful. I hope it goes away soon! wineallthetime yay for a good anatomy scan! I heard back from the dr this morning. The EEG didn’t really look any different from the last few. She still has discharges (abnormal activity) in the right posterior part of her brain. They say that sometimes no matter how much medicine you throw at it, it just doesn’t go away. But because of the continuous increase in activity we’ve had (3 seizures in the last 5 days) we are increasing one of her meds again.
