L had a rough night and is craaaaanky. I'm taking the kids to my parent's house this morning. My "uncle" (divorced from the family like 27 years ago) visits every year. He brings each of us a giiiiant bag of candy and $20. It makes me laugh he still does it even though 3 of us are in our 30's and we're all married.

Morning! I'm struggling to get out for running group. Chase was up screaming from 2-4 this morning and short of holding him, nothing made him happy. Even holding him pissed him off because he couldn't get comfortable. Then Col woke me up at 6 to use the potty. I can't complain because he had a disgusting poop (sorry, TMI) but I just wanted to sleep! At least I fell back asleep quickly. Now I'm trying to motivate.

Morning! We’re in the car, almost to the VA-NC line. Car is loaded down—we have everything from a Yeti cooler to a poinsettia to a stroller to a prelit Christmas tree and decorations packed. All we need is a goat or something. We should get into Charleston around lunchtime—can’t wait! ETA: actual photo of our packed car

We got a dusting of snow last night. I hope it holds out until the sun comes out and I put my bra on. Meanwhile it is my morning to get up and E immediately went to playing "train ticket booth" with his cardboard box. Thankfully I don't need to get out of the recliner to get my tickets. The recliner also comes equipped with a cement truck feature for making new roads.

Morning ladies! We head to my mom's today. I'm drinking coffee trying to get the motivation to pack. I'm excited for Christmas this year, the sister I'm closest to and her family will be there the whole time, so it will be a few days of cooking, playing games and relaxing. No drama I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas. This year has been a rough one, I hope we all get to end it with love, hope and family.

Hi everyone. I’m not sure what our plans are for today. B wet the bed last night after going sans pull-up all week. She was upset about it, but I’m willing to chalk it up as a one off and keep trying.
Safe travels to everyone on the road today!

I'm up drinking coffee, Evie is in bed watching videos and H is still sleeping, the quiet time is nice.
Today is my mom's birthday, so we are taking her to dinner this evening. Nothing else planned except a quick trip to the store for something to take to Christmas eve dinner at my mom's and hit up the bank.

I hate tardiness. My sister wants to drive with us so I told her we are leaving at 8:30. It's 8:35 and she's at least 10min away still. I'm dealing with a really cranky kid here and the car has been warmed up forever. Grrrr.

I'm up with peach. J is asleep and so is A. He's got a cold and feels awful. We have Christmas with his parents and siblings tonight. I made 2 pumpkin pies and a fruit pizza last night so all I have to do is get hot chocolate in the crock pot. But I'm making lasagna for Christmas eve and may make the sauce today. It takes a while.

Safe travels to everyone on the road today. My baby gave me an early present and slept 10-2:30 and 3-7. Now he's been up and happy all morning. Big boys are at practice. I really need one last Target run and maybe to go see grandma at her rehab.

Good morning. C slept until 7:30. Today I need to go to cvs for some stocking stuffers and we are going to that dog adoption event. Not to adopt but to find out more about the rescue since they always have a lot of dogs. And it's at pet smart and I need cat litter anyway.

Morning! Today is MH’s 40th birthday. We are spending it scrambling to get things wrapped up in Arkansas and then head back to Missouri. Where hopefully I will beat my company to my house and can quickly spruce the place up. I already made 2 pans of lasagne this morning. All I will have to do is pop them in the oven when we get home.
Oh, and S woke for the day at 4am so it should be a great day 😬. I’m totally sleeping in the truck on the way home today!

Evie was complaining about her throat being scratchy and hurting last night. I can tell she's getting a cold. Is there anything safe for kids this age for a sore throat?

I got to the beach but running group had already left and I didn't know today's route. Add in that it's cold and rainy, and I'm home in my running clothes trying to decide what to do. I just missed DH and the boys so they are gone for a couple hours. I should nap but also I should run. Instead I'm watching the Hallmark channel.

Safe travels, flamingo! Forgot to buy something for one of the littles in our family, so I ran to toys r us last night and picked something up. It was a madhouse, understandably. At least I knew what I needed to buy and could get out quickly. It's rainy and gray here today, so we'll probably hang out here. Josie and I are still stringing the cinnamon salt dough ornaments we made the other day. They need bags and tags, too.

Honey in peppermint tea or just straight honey Eta. If she spikes a fever it is probably strep and you will want abx asap. The rapid test will come back negative but insist on abx if they say it looks inflamed.

mwhip I’d probably just do Children’s Tylenol/Motrin for a sore throat. I did see some multi-symptom meds at the drugstore that are for ages 4+ if anything else pops up. (So grateful they’re finally old enough for cough syrup!) Poor girl, hope she feels better soon!

Morning, happy Saturday friends!
It feels so good to chill and not be rushing anywhere, the kids are playing kitchena and placing food all over the house like it’s an easter egg hunt, so that’s cool.
Not sure what we’re up to today. We’re all ready for Christmas so it’s just a regular Saturday for us.

mwhip S had a terrible cough last year and both the pediatrician and the pharmacist recommended triaminic cough . He wasn't yet 3 but they both said it was fine, so I'm sure now it would be no issue

It’s snowing a bit here but not sticking. I have a lot to do today. MH and his daughter should be here January 6th-ish. 🎉 So basically I need to deep clean the entire house before then. And I’m a procrastinator so I’ll think about it a lot and not do anything until the last minute. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don’t like being late either wineallthetime it annoys me. Somehow I have 3 kids and am pretty much always on time so I don’t get it.

Morning.
I enjoyed the movie last night, it was better than I expected.
About to brave Target. Sinny doesn't want me to get out of bed. He keeps wrapping his paws around my arm and pulling me back into the blankets.

Morning! H slept on until 9:30, but S was up early. I haven’t taken her temp but she doesn’t feel feverish to the touch. I hope whatever was going on yesterday is over. DH is at work, and I work later so MIL is coming over until he gets home.

DH still isn't back so I squeezed in a quick (wet and cold) run, a hot shower, and a trip to SBux. Ready to see my night time torturers any time now.

I has to run a few errands and thought I’ll do it by foot, it’s good to get fresh air. So we bundled up the kids and went on our way. The last stop was supposed to be at Starbucks, but I completely forgot that the rental company was bringing over the tables. I had to run home ASAP and did not get my sbux... boo. #fwp
