Happy birthday, Snoop! I'm sorry it started out shitty. I keep telling MH that we need to up life insurance. We rely primarily on his salary and if something were to happy to him, the kids and I would really struggle. He always says, "Well you'd get basically the equivalent to 1 year of my salary". That's not even slightly close to what I'd need. He doesn't see the rush though. Oh my goodness! He needs to check out a life insurance calculator to get the 'real' amount you'd need.
Side note: This is like a reversal of what I'd expect from Mr Wine, it's like you two have switched roles for this subject.

I gave up. It's not worth the free stuff. I'll stick to minted. Shutterfly is like Kohl’s, they mark stuff way up and then always offer coupons and giveaways so you think you’re getting a great deal. Photo books and calendars are especially difficult.

Made cinnamon salt dough ornaments with the kids. I didn't have enough salt, so hopefully they turn out. L screamed and threw the dough the whole time and is back to fighting the nap now. I feel bad since MH looks like shit so I'm trying to keep it nice and peaceful for him. I'm clearly failing miserably. I'm sorry it's bee a rough morning. And now, selfishly, share that cinnamon salt dough recipe with me. +1 I want to make these too. Good activity for next weekend with the cousins in town!

As much as this ordeal with my H's knee has completely sucked, he hasn't had a cigarette since the morning of surgery, October 3rd. We had my company Christmas party Friday and drank, and still no cigarette. I'm worried with him being back at work now, the habit that smoking was for him prior to his leave. Which also means I quit smoking when I drink since I don't want to do it in front of him, or have them around. This has done amazing things for our bank account! This is a massive accomplishment on both your parts! Congrats!

My BFF and I made cinnamon salt dough ornaments like 5 or 6 years ago. We kept some brown and dyed other colors. I’ve kept them and hang them on my tree every year. I started with 3, and I’m only left with 1 because the other 2 have broken. I just checked and the one I have no longer smells of cinnamon.

That's great, mwhip ! I hope you guys can keep it up, I imagine it's an easy habit to slip back into. You guys should put aside the money you would've spent on cigarettes and do something fun with it after it builds up a bit! The money that hasn't been spent on cigarettes is what has kept us from dipping into savings while he was on disability. It's amazing how much more money we have when he isn't at Quik Trip every day spending $15 on a pack of cigarettes and a snack and drink! Had I tried to tell him that prior, it wouldn't have gone over well. Hopefully with my promotion, him accepting the new position and the pay increase, and not smoking, we can build our savings back up!

I feel bad since MH looks like shit so I'm trying to keep it nice and peaceful for him. I'm clearly failing miserably. I made a “salt” dough thing with S one time....I accidentally used sugar instead of salt. Lol. I’m not exactly what you would call a wiz in the kitchen. Although I do know the difference between salt and sugar...I just had my head up my ass for some reason. Took me forever to figure out why it wasn’t quite right. Lol!!

I know! Just when I think I've figured him out, he throws me for a loop!

Had Cadence's pt this morning. The therapist is super nice and Cadence loved her. She said it won't be a weekly thing (which my bank account thanks her for) and that it is mostly stretches that we will do with her at home and she will assess the progress or lack there of when we come in and adjust it if necessary. So we go back next week and then after that there will be more and more time between each appointment. We have to do the stretches with her 3x a day though, so that should be interesting.

I told DH the other night that all I want for Christmas is a 1 month membership to barre 3 for January. He basically told me it’s a waste of money because “you never stick to anything”. I wanted to throat punch him.

I have an appt for H at 12. He’s currently coughing through his nap. He also coughed all night long. It was not delightful.

Mh has mentioned getting a gym membership for US. I side-eye him every time he says it because I have never said anything about wanting a gym membership. YOu do you, dude. I'm good.

MIL got wind that MH is sick. She wants to drop something off. I'd bet big money that it's a few doses of old antibiotics.

Will someone kick me in the butt and tell me to get something done? I have zero motivation for work today! At least I get to leave at 2:30 since H has his Pre-op appt.
I was 15 minutes late because I could not get the kids out the door and then the dog was acting weird so I was trying to give him some attention. Then I had the kids hand out the teacher gifts when we got to daycare which added some time. I had DH go home and check on the dog and he said he was fine.
Oh Mondays...

I had cramps last night and Sinny Bear slept curled up right next to my stomach, which he's only ever done when I had PTL. He's the best cat.
X is going through...something. Separation anxiety, maybe? He's waking up in hysterics and staying awake for hours MOTN. It's weird coming from him because he's been a great sleeper since Day 1. I think I might try melatonin for a few nights just to see if that gets him back on track.
He moves up to the next room at DC in two months and we need to be off bottles (for daytime, at least) and we're nowhere close to doing that now.
