Hi! I’ll jump in while I can can keep up with the thread I woke up at 5am. It’s happened a few mornings lately, so achy and sore and I just cannot get comfortable. So I sit and drink an instant coffee. Dh will make the real stuff when he gets up. So far I’ve loaded and run the dishwasher and made my to do list for the day. I also have cookies to bake, gifts to wrap and I’m doing a few projects with dd2 since Monday is our only quiet morning at home and she’s sick so I won’t be running errands. I already regret being up at this hour.

I have not wrapped a single gift because I can barely stay awake past my toddlers bedtime. I'm feeling the pressure.

The toddler bed didn’t work well last night so I slept horribly. Then DS had a really gross #2 in his diaper first thing, I almost threw up. (We use cloth so it required more effort to deal with) I’m waiting for MH to get back so I can escape and run errands for a few hours.

Finish Christmas Present Shopping Send out Christmas Cards (which are technically done just have to seal them because gross) Wrap Christmas Presents 2yo Doctor's Appointment GD Test Clean, cook and prep for hosting Christmas Eve at our house Mom's Oncologist Appointment Meeting with Lawyer to get POA over my Mom while my sister is in town Help my mom shop and wrap presents Help cook for Christmas dinner at my Mom's Help my mom move into new nursing home on Wednesday Pray my mom doesn't go into the hospital on Christmas Eve after all of this anyway Try not to kill my dad who made me cry this last weekend at my 2yo's Birthday party Work all 5 days because I've used all my vacation when my mom was in and out of the hospital Enjoy the magic of Christmas for my Children without drinking, this might be the hardest one Luckily I saw my therapist last Friday, so I can mark that off my to do list. Basically me right now:

My mil showed up last night right before DD's bedtime, so DD went to bed late. I kinda wish she would have showed up 20 minutes later, so DD would have been in bed already. She left super early this morning to go stay with a friend of hers and won't be back until Wed. I also got to deal with the meltdown this morning that grandmother is gone. I'm hoping the rest of the day gets better...I need to take DD to speech, and I am hoping we can go see Santa after. This year DD has something that she wants to ask Santa for.

If you need to kill your dad sweetc129 I feel it is warranted with all the shit you have going on. Thank you, He made it very well known that he was pissed that I wasn't going to a specific family event this weekend for extended step family that nobody likes most of the people anyway even though we hashed it out last year that this event needed cut because we didn't get any family time with our own kids. He told me next year things will go back to normal and we are expected to be there....and by normal he means my mom will be dead and we won't have to see her over Christmas and have that to worry about. ETA: This didn't involved cutting his time out because he has a separate dinner for Christmas. FTR, my parents are divorced and he hates my mother.

I only have a 3 day work week, I think I can do it. Right now I am exhausted because I've been up since about 4:30. DS had a nightmare and I couldn't fall back to sleep. My to do's for the week include getting a few groceries, wrapping presents, DS's Christmas program on Wednesday night, counseling appointment tomorrow evening, and wrapping up as much as possible at work before the 2-week break. I am really looking forward to Thursday when DH is at work and DS is at daycare, and I am at home alone. I am going to wrap presents and sleep that day. On Friday, I was planning on going to DS's daycare Christmas party but now our new refrigerator is going to be delivered that day, so I may not be able to go.

sweetc129, I'm sorry that's a lot to be going through. I'll send some bail money, but I don't think there's a jury out there that will convict you after the very hurtful things your dad said. I'll keep your family in my thoughts.

Good morning. I was thrilled to have DS up and ready early so we could go to my OB appt, but just as we were about to walk out the door, I got a call from the office. They had to reschedule my appt. Sure, let me find time for that in between DS's therapy and everything else that has to happen before we fly out Thursday morning. I did ask for my OB to please call me today with the results of my u/s last Friday, so hopefully I will have that peace of mind soon. sweetc129 Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry that you're dealing with a cruel dad on top of how emotional and crazy the holidays already are. I'll help you hide the body.

Leaf 🌱 same. My dh finally printed address labels for me and my main goal today is putting the cards in the mailbox. No letter, no special message, card in envelope in mail box. Done.

This is why my Christmas cards are still on the counter. 🤦🏼♀️ This is where I confess that I stamped, sealed, and addressed all of my Christmas cards while at work this year. I was most motivated by the fact that we have envelope dab n seal sticks there. No awful glue taste🙌🏻

sweetc129 how awful! I’m sorry that you need to deal with all that in what is already a difficult Christmas. If you become a fugitive and need to run to Canada (I think you’re in the states?) You’re welcome here

I wish the weekend hadn't flown so quickly! We spent it doing a lot of fun stuff (took DS to see the Nutcracker, spent a lot of time out and at home with friends), but of course that made it fly. I spent a lot of yesterday cleaning the house and getting it looking perfect for company last night, so the house looks awesome and now all I want to do is hang out in it, lol. But of course I'm at work.
I think I'm in good shape for the holiday actually. I haven't wrapped yet, but we also don't have any plans for next weekend. My next to-do is putting together my grocery list for next weekend.

Add me to the overwhelmed by all we need to accomplish before Christmas. Most of the stuff for this baby's nursery is in boxes somewhere downstairs. If the nursery isn't ready for that stuff before Christmas, I am not moving it.
I'm trying to push my H on the nursery and he just keeps getting annoyed. I just want it done!
And the amount of stuff in this house is driving me crazy. I just want to throw it all out.

I was most motivated by the fact that we have envelope dab n seal sticks there. No awful glue taste🙌🏻 The glue taste is literally why I switched to gluing my envelopes shut with a gluestick. Not interested in that taste ever again.

Just hoping to get through this pre-holiday week! Full day today, half day tomorrow for my OB appointment, full day Wednesday, then I’m off for 13 days. I cannot wait. It will definitely be busy with splitting time between both families. I still have a bit of shopping to do and then packing for almost 2 weeks will certainly be fun. Hugs sweetc129! I hope you get everything crossed off your to-do list.
