I totally get it. From his side, though. I knew you would! flamingo too. And maybe vino. I will say, I thought my wrapping was pretty good! Oooh not me. I HATE wrapping gifts. I do it because I have to. When I lived with roommates I would pay one of them $20, and she would wrap them for me. I’m the worst. If my neighbours cousins sisters goldfish babysitter wanted to wrap my gifts I would gladly turn them over

I've been moody all day. I just feel angry. Then, mh said SIL wanted to know if we wanted to come over for Christmas and I started crying. I'm used to a certain meal and celebrating a certain way and his family does none of that. Hell, they likely won't even get Cadence a gift, or do what they did on Thanksgiving and lie to her about a gift they supposedly ordered, but that hasn't arrived in the mail yet. Uh, more like you never ordered anything. I told him he can take Cadence for lunch, but I'll be staying home and making dinner. This isn't how Christmas should be and I'm upset about it. I’m so sorry big hugs to you. I’m sorry you have to change your traditions this year.

I’m sorry klong11, big hugs. I really wish I had comforting words to say but my truth is that the holidays suck. Period. They are really hard.

tgrimes I think the tubes are doing their job if they are draining. I hope he gets well soon. Just think, when he's M's age he'll be the healthiest kid in school because he's already had all the virus strains Cadence was sick every other week her first year and a half and this year, nada. A little cold here and there, but nothing major. *Knocks on wood* Yeah, M was the same way except she was sick for almost 3 years. Lol. Then this year the vomit started. FML. This kid better be the healthiest damn one in the entire elementary school.

What a weekend. We had a playdate yesterday morning at an indoor playground, came home had lunch, right to sportball, came home and Christmas baked, dinner and then after the kids went down I wrapped a little. Today B had a playdate with his friend from the old daycare, I think that his Mom and I are becoming friends and it’s awesome, we have similar parenting styles so that helps tremendously. I’m trying to get MH on board to hang out with them but is pulling a Mr tallb, bugger. Also, J followed suit with the N13 families this weekend and tried to use a cracker box as a step and fell, a bloody mark under her eye yesterday then today was running, tripped and fell into the highchair leg, she’s got a long narrow raised bruised sore on her forehead. I got ice on it right away and gave her advil so hopefully it’s not too bad in the morning.

I’m sorry that H has another EI tgrimes. Technically tubes don’t cure ear infections, they just make them less painful and can help to make them less likely. I hope the pedi has some answers/ideas for you.

I could tell he was dying to rewrap the gifts I wrapped for the kids! I totally get it. From his side, though. +1 Dh is not allowed to come near the presents 😜.

tgrimes I had tubes as a kid, lots of fluids (sometimes blood) would come out of my ears... It was gross and it sucked, I think i was around 8-9 when it finally stopped. I’m sorry.

Hi. It’s 2 am. My mom called at 1230 to tell me my grandma passed. I can’t sleep so I’m sitting in my living room drinking tea and looking at my Christmas lights. It’s oddly comforting.

cagoldi, I think I'm going right to formula with this baby. I haven't fully decided, but I didn't have luck with C or L and it caused me so much stress and anxiety. I also kinda think that for the most part, you have to be really dedicated to making it work and I'm...not. The benefits just don't outweigh the negatives for me.
