Your day sounds fabulous wedding! I’m laying in bed on my phone while S watches Bubble Guppies on her iPad. She slept till 6 today! Much better than yesterday’s 4:15! We will pick up my Jeep from the dealership today after I give them all my monies. Then headed home to prepare for my H’s family to infiltrate us tomorrow.

I’m laying in bed. Kids are all up watching tv. Giovanna has a play date this morning and I’m planning to go do homework at the Y. 🎉 Don’t want to.

Morning, still home sick. Been watching crappy Christmas movies. We did secret Santa at work, today was the exchange. As it turned out all my coworkers secretly bought an extra gift for me, because I’m always so thoughtful to them... I’m really touched and happy. I’m feeling a little guilty that I wasn’t there, my boss is bringing over the presents after work ☺️.

Hi all! Hope you're all well. We're having a crazy but awesome run-up to Christmas over here. We took the kids you Great Wolf Lodge for three days and had a blast. Not many activities satisfy our vast age gap, but they have something for everyone. S wants to move there. Our anniversary was yesterday, but were celebrating tomorrow since we went non-stop. I finally ordered Christmas presents, and now I need to have a wrapping party. It's my time to watch some horrible Christmas movie that I love for its cheesiness. Haven't decided on what it will be, though. Taking suggestions. Oh, and today I get a few hours of me time at Macy's and getting my color put back in, so it's all around been a nice week. A couple photos from our trip.

GM! Guess I’m the only chump at work today :/ I’ll be leaving at 2 though so it’s not so bad. I had ladies night w the women in my neighborhood last night and maybe had too much “jingle juice.” Oh well.
These are my favorite days, the ones leading up to Xmas, when all the work is done and you can just coast and have fun. I plan on doing a little bit of wrapping each night w champagne and also cheesy Xmas movies.

Hi ladystrat! I’m glad the fam had a great time at GWL. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by it last year when we went. I would go again. nam2013, that was so sweet of your coworkers!

I put the elf on ds’ stable. Changed my mind at the last second, thinking ‘ds will be pissed if he’s not allowed to move or touch the elf to play with his stable’. The elf is currently residing in our new wood burner 😉.

At work. My boss is traveling so I'm watching netflix while I work. I've got spread sheets to export and organize. Trying to get stuff in place to make it easier on him when I'm not here to remind him of things..

This was a repeat for us. We stayed there last year when B was three weeks old. I spoke at a conference, and this was one of the accommodation options, so we took the crew. It was so much better this year since I didn't have to keep abandoning them for various meetings! And we got a nicer room this time as well, so that helped. nam2013, I've never seen Love Actually, but I've heard it's great. Might give that one a shot. wedding, we took it slow because of the little girls, so it wasn't too bad. I packed the roku stick, so the kids watched movies in bed both nights, and we made sure the girls had downtime.

Morning! I'm starting to bake the cookie dough I made earlier this week and I also have a bit of last minute shopping to do. And wrapping - haven't even started!!
Colin's been in underwear at night now for a week and going strong. Chase went without his bink last night and it was... Fine. He cried for a couple minutes when I first put him down but he was quiet all night. He did wake up super chatty and started yelling after a bit to get some attention. But that went WAY better than expected.

I need a Great Wolf redo after our disaster trip there in 2015.
Today is my follow up at the OB. Hopefully I will be cleared to drive. Kids have a half day. Then I need to figure out the last minute Christmas stuff.

Happy Friday! I'm so happy I get to turn my alarm clock off until 1/2! Today is the last day for my favorite co-worker. I'm going to miss her a lot. There was talk of Bailey's in coffee this morning, drinking at lunch, then releasing us at 1:30 for the holiday. Which means I need to get shit done this morning since once we leave for lunch, I won't be at work much after we return. Enjoy your day wedding! nam2013 I hope you feel better soon! Happy Anniversary ladystrat! Glad to hear L is all better mskatiep! yummeecookee our QC manager showed up at the same time as me this morning and told me him, his wife, and neighbors were up drinking until 1:20 this morning. He was telling me this at 7:20. I don't know how the hell he is going to make it through the day with that limited sleep, plus what all he told me they drank. So just know, there is someone more hungover than you! Oh, and of course, H still hasn't received his reimbursement check for our trip to San Antonio, that was a MONTH ago. I figure they owe us ~$800, but he can't be bothered to email them. Good lord man, that money would keep me from dipping into savings.

I expect I know the answer to this, but have any of you used an instant pot? I received one last night, and I can't wait to give it a go.
Anything I should know? Any recipes floating around you can't live without?

I browsed for a few minutes last night but was too tired to concentrate, so I don't think I actually pinned anything.
