Now accepting the Mom of the Year Award 🙋
When A peed on the potty this morning, I could see she had some build up of yuck down there so I cleaned her very meticulously with a Cottonelle wipe. I must have been too rough because every time she has tried to pee since then, she does a little drop then screams and cries. It doesn't look like there are any cuts but it's a bit irritated. I feel awful. I called the nurse line to see if there was anything I could try and she said Vaseline and a Warm Bath .... Vaseline has gotten us no where. I put a pull up on her and put her down for a nap so maybe she'll pee in her sleep. If not, then I'll try the bath. The nurse did tell me to call back if she still won't go in a few hours.

I haven't wrapped a single gift. I think I shall start wrapping tonight. Prep some dough for cookie making tomorrow night. I just bought all my gifts today. I am failing so much this year. My nephew made it easy on me though, he just wanted money for an electric violin he's been saving for. And I still haven't bought E a thing. Not sure if I'm even going to, since MIL always sends her way too much stuff. I might just wrap random things for her to open. Like toys she already has lol. |

No wrapping done yet here either. I'm going to finish up picking up a couple of last gifts tomorrow and then try to wrap on Saturday if I can get DH to take E out for a bit.
I feel like I will need to rest up on Christmas Eve instead of trying to get stuff done, so I don't really want to leave anything for Sunday.

I just put together M's tricycle and work bench. Now on Christmas Eve we just have to put everything out. I'm so glad, I didn't want to be up late on Christmas Eve.

I got the last of the wrapping done today which was a struggle but we still need to put together DS basketball hoop. I'm hoping DH will do it one night before Xmas. He stays up late anyway and everything is cumbersome for me at this point.

Hey ladies! I am jealous of those who have already started their holiday vacation. We have a work potluck lunch and social afternoon tomorrow, and I am going to Costco tomorrow morning to do some shopping for the holidays, so I am sort of starting holidays, but still have so much shit to clean up at work. Have I mentioned how damn annoying it is when people don't do their damn jobs?? Ugh. I am hoping to not work on Friday, but may end up doing some work from home, and then I will be off for the holidays! I plan to go into the office on January 4, but basically off until January 8....I.Can't.Wait!!!!
I am also very much looking forward to the holidays this year. I am really feeling like it will be a special one. It is the last year for our family in this house (this house has been in our family since I was about 14 years old.....so a LONG ass time...we bought it from my Mom). I think we will have some really nice celebrations here this year. I also think that it will be a nice holiday for both DS1 and DS2! I am almost done wrapping, but have a couple of things to finish up. I need to make a list so I know what I still need to pick up.

Today I have the baby's 2 month well check, and DH is off of work, so I get to go by myself! Excited to browse the makeup aisles at Target, and grocery shop without my bigs.
My in-laws invited themselves over for Christmas Eve dinner, so now I need to figure out a meal instead of just the heavy apps I was planning on. Hoping they don't stay too late, since my kids go to bed early, and I've got a dollhouse to put together after they go. If they try and pull this next year, I'm putting my foot down. My mil thinks she needs to be at every holiday/first experience for the kids and it drives me nuts.

Yeah, that plan sounds like fresh hell RunsforWineandCarbs. Hard no. The only reason why I have gotten most of it done are days I was able to work on it when DS was at daycare. |

We just finished our anatomy scan. Everything she got looked good but there were a few measurements she couldn't get so we have to come back. We now have the appointment with my OB and then rushing to J's holiday party at daycare. My mom has him so she will meet us there with him. My appointment is at 8:50 and the party is 9:30 so it may be a bit of a rush. So far there is only one person in the waiting room before me so FX I get in on time.

I don't think my DH would propose that idea though, he likes going to bed early just as much as me! |

20 minutes past appt time and we're still in the waiting room. This has legit never happened since we've been coming here. Very thankful I don't have the bigger kids with me today.

Maybe my confession is that I like the idea of wrapping presents on Christmas eve, after the kids go to bed, while watching a Christmas movie and having a holiday drink (or 3!). The only reason that I have started wrapping is I want to only have the amount of wrapping paper needed for this year, normally I would just buy extra.
Also I hate that I have wrapped early, but can't put any under the tree because I have zero interest in re-wrapping anything with a toddler around! Lol

We had a super fun Christmas get together this afternoon at work! So many laughs! We played a bad Santa game where people had to bring something from their house that they no longer wanted or used...the uglier the better! It was SO hilarious! One team member, who has alopecia universalis, wrapped up and old wig of hers...and the poor girl who got it has a legit fear of wigs! Lmao. It was SO funny!

Off work at 1 today! Plus they're bringing in Cracker Barrel for breakfast. I'm hoping to get in and knock out the things I need to do.
My department VP asked me to write out my daily/weekly routine so they can share it with other auditors so they can get the job done quicker. I have a rough draft of it, but I need to finalize and polish that.
After work in doing a Target and grocery run. So excited for the long weekend!

I was supposed to stop to pick up donuts for the office - i forgot. good thing no one knew i was going to do it. I think we will be out by noon. fingers crossed.
quick trip to store for stocking stuffers for h - some lottery tickets, swedish fish and tube candy.
I will then prep cookie dough for tomorrow and then heading to my older sisters for pizza with the family - my aunt and uncle are here so that will be fun.
