1. I'm not feeling overly Christmas-y right now. I was more into it the other week. Maybe because we're still recovering from the plague. I'm just tired.
2. Snow! I didn't know it was suppose to snow last night so I was happy to see it this morning.
3. We went to the kid's museum yesterday. Both kids had a blast. This membership was the best early Christmas present ever and will save my sanity this winter
4. Plague. I think we're almost better. The kids seem less snotty. I didn't have to take any crazy cold meds yesterday to survive, just ibuprofen.
5. Birds! I'm out of suet so I think ds and I will make peanut butter and seed pinecones for them today.
6. I'm done Christmas shopping with the exception of dd's camelbak. The one I want, dragons, is sold out. Not sure if it's coming back or if I should pick another one.
7. I'm really sad camelbak retired their alligator one because I've been calling dd my alligator.
8. I've been maintaining my weight loss and staying within the three pound range I gave myself for the holidays 🎉🎉
9. We have a play date tomorrow
10. I still need to wrap my presents but I've been avoiding it because I kind of hate doing it.
11. Dd wants to walk so bad. She can get 3-5 unassisted steps before face planting.
I hope everyone is doing well!

1. I got M the mermaids Camelbak. I’m expecting it to be her favorite gift because she makes a beeline for DS’s whenever it’s within reach.
2. I’m done Christmas shopping except for a gift card for my ILs. I need to go buy it at lunch but I’m feeling lazy.
3. I wrapped half the presents last weekend and hope to wrap the rest this weekend.
4. I decided that Santa will wrap stocking stuffers in tissue paper. I’m excited for the idea of the kids having a bunch of little things to unwrap.
5. Three years from now me will probably be furious about this commitment.
6. The kids are supposed to sleep over at my parents house on Saturday so H and I can go to a Christmas party.
7. I say “supposed to” bc M has had a cold all week that’s been waking her up a lot at night.
8. I think she wakes up bc she tries to suck on her fingers (she’s a lover of her 2 middle fingers) but then can’t breath through her nose.
9. No sign of walking here. She isn’t even doing well walking behind push toys. We probably need to encourage her a little more.
10. I’m so ready for her to walk bc whenever we’re out, she wants to crawl around and explore.
11. Two more days of work this year which means 2 more days of pumping. The end is in sight!

1. I need a few more gift cards and then I am done
2. I haven't even begun wrapping.
3. I hate dealing with my family for the holidays.
4. The nanny is here today instead of mil while I'm working from home. It's some how a bit more annoying.
5. E will walk if you hold her hand but doesn't want to try herself yet she prefers the speed of her walking when I hold her hand
6. I have off tomorrow but the nanny I working I am finally getting my massage.
7. I realized I need to get H a gift from E.
8. I have so much laundry to try to do today while working
9. We had snow last night a inch maybe
10. I hope it doesn't snow for Xmas
11. While I am not looking forward to finding daycare for E in May I feel so done having other people in my house I don't know I can't explain it.

peaseblossom55 there is definitely some appeal in having my house in the same condition as I left it in the morning. And working from home with other people around sounds hard even though it does mean some bonus time with baby. So I can see where you would be looking forward to daycare!

carrots I bought the mermaid one for the shore, it's adorable! And the Sugar Booger mermaid silverware. I leave a water bottle, snack cup, and silverware set down there because it one less thing I have to pack. Ds has the shark camelbak down there because I need to be thematic.

I hate having people in my house like that so I get it peaseblossom55. That was the worst part about doing the long term subs. I always felt like my house had to be perfect even though it was just my parents or mil coming in.

I only work from home one day a week usually mil is here that day. Today it's the nanny and I'm just trying to hide in my office but sometimes things are in the wrong place. Mil will use 5 spoons a day. The nanny will sometimes use a ton of paper towels during the day. Like why? Why??? It doesn't help that I am very particular about things.

1. OH MY GOSH I AM SO SWAMPED AT WORK 2. But nobody is bugging me and it's quiet in the office these days, so that's good 3. Baby A has strep. So I had to burn one of my last 2 PTO days on Tuesday. 4. Miss you laaadies. 5. It snowed this past weekend. And yesterday morning. And it's about to start snowing again. I didn't know it was supposed to snow today. I should've swapped cars with my hubs. 6. I think we're done shopping for the most part. 7. I got the cutest sweat to wear to an ugly sweater party tomorrow, similar to this, but not quite: 8. My big girl and I are baking cookies either tonight or tomorrow morning. 9. We will have "White Christmas" on the TV at all times this weekend. It's a little tradition hubs and I started a few years ago. Good Lord, I love that movie. 10. I think I shall have sushi for lunch today 11. I hope I can get out of work early today because of the weather. But i have SO much shit to get done.

Completely random. My baby is still not drinking water. We usually just forget to give it to her. But like, she won't drink from a damn sippy cup anyway. So I feed her by dropping water into her mouth through a straw. Ugh.

Mh said our friend from grad school and his wife will be coming through and stopping by. Okay cool. But in the follow up text it looks like stopping by means spending two nights, one of which is New Year's Eve, at our house? I'm pissed. 1. I'm losing two days to get stuff done, both house projects and fun activities, on days when mh will be home. Our weekends have been so busy with family and holiday obligations I was looking forward to this time. 2. I'm grumpy about hosting, normally I don't mind but it's NYE. I don't really like NYE and didn't want to do anything. Like I wouldn't even want to host my bff for those two nights. 3. I don't like the wife. She's cold and not fun. She makes our friend lame and not fun. He's still a blast to hang out with by himself but she's a miserable fun sucker. I can think of maybe one time I enjoyed hanging out with her.

So I feed her by dropping water into her mouth through a straw. Ugh. Are they suppose to be drinking a lot of water at this point? I don't remember when I started with ds except at a year because of milk. Did I give him a water sippy cup before that? No idea. At this point, dd only gets it when she steals his camelbak. But in 10 days she will have her own!

Feel better peaseblossom55, the stomach bug is the worst. I hope no one else catches it! Mh and I saw the Last Jedi last night. I won't say I loved it but I liked it and enjoyed watching it.

I'm meeting a friend at the kid's museum today so the first part of the day will fly. Then I should really start wrapping presents but probably won't. I'm just not feeling it.

He's trending in the right direction, which is great considering he was about the same for 6 miserable days. Thanks for asking! And he did have the stomach bug before this too. Poor guy is looking skinnier because he hasn't had a full appetite for like 2.5 weeks. His little thigh roll is going away.

That's amazing that E has 4 words now peaseblossom55!! I feel like B doesn't even have any yet. I was convinced he said mama and dada once, but since then it's still seems like unintentional babbling...
