Someone take my credit cards away. Since Christmas, I've ordered Colin a new coat and stocked up on my current model of running shoes. Plus I have to put in my annual photobook order in after the kids go to bed on NYE (I have a 50% off coupon that expires that day), and it's a massive book... I cannot stop spending money. There’s so many good sales after Xmas. Its hard!

Chilling at the in laws. E has been pretty good today but I'm ready to get home. I think I'll plan on packing up Christmas stuff tomorrow and figure out how we are going to rearrange the living room to make it more toy friendly.

tgrimes , How about you take the strong cough medicine and let DH deal with H tonight? That sounds like a better plan. I wish that would help me sleep but I wake up at every little noise, regardless of what i take. Anytime he gets up in the MOTN he's stopping around like a freakin elephant. No need to wake everyone up in the house just because you're upset that you're up.

If you want a good happy cry, go read the "AW my baby is 5" thread on general discussion. Oh my word. All the tears. And then the ending where bio dad is visiting now and doing bedtime!? Amazing.

guster, did you decide on NYE dinner? I'm debating between a big cheese, cracker, nut, ect platter and cooking a nice meal. Can't decide which. I may go easy with the platter and do a big breakfast/brunch on NY day..

wedding I'm sorry that you are having issues with C. I'm having similar issues with Layla and on top of everything she hit her teacher on Tuesday. We had a long discussion about being nice to her friends, keeping her hands to herself, and respecting her teachers. Not sure any of it got through, because yesterday, I asked her other teacher if her behavior was any better and he very quickly said no. So I've taken away TV and her tablet. She's at home today with Tim, so I'm sure that he has given in and let her watch TV. She is so strong willed, and consequences do not seem to phase her much, as she said well I can just play in my room then. I'm not sure what to do at this point if it continues. I know that she is very "off" recovering from Christmas weekend with all of her indulgent cousins, I hope she bounces back soon.

I may go easy with the platter and do a big breakfast/brunch on NY day.. I did! I'm actually sitting in Starbucks now after running around after getting everything all morning. I bought stuff for a big cheese plate with olives, stuffed hot peppers, crackers, grapes and fig jam. Then I bought pre-made mini corn dogs, pizza rolls, and mozzarella sticks. With the exception of taking a bite of a diner mozzarella stick here and there, I never had those things in the house and I thought it would be fun to make a platter to sample and I'm sure J and C will love it. I always make a heavier New Year's day meal, but this year I'm going to make lemon chicken soup and a big salad. It's a nice reminder to start off the year healthy and simple.

This is their 4th kid, and they don’t have anyone up to the hospital so that’s not an issue. If someone told me to wait to visit them until they went home I would respect those wishes. With their 3rd I’m pretty sure they didn’t send the text until they got home. Weird. I wonder if they have family who don't respect their wishes so she keeps it quiet so it doesn't pop up on facebook or something? She’s just kind of weird about this stuff. Like with her first they found out the sex but wouldn’t tell anyone except their parents. It was a huge secret till he was born. I think it’s weird but kind of expect it from them KWIM? Still no text btw, she could still be in labor though.

tgrimes have you ever had your house tested for mold? If not maybe get that done and your ducts cleaned. And stick a cork in your DH’s mouth.

Sure enough, h has an ear infection. We went to target after the doctor to get her script and some other things. As we were walking around H started talking about her tummy hurting. Just what I need. She never threw up so that’s good. Both girls are currently napping.

It made me laugh cause nobody cares that much about the sex of my baby except MH and I, it's so not worth keeping it a secret!

DH took me out to lunch yesterday and in the sub-zeros temps, all I wanted was a bucket of french onion soup. Cue the restaurant being out of it. I just snuck out to get some from Panera but it's just not the same, boo. So I scarfed my baguette in my FWP misery.

I first read this thinking it was about the friend in labor. That was a very confusing moment for me.

DH and all of the men in this friend’s group all grew up together on the same street/adjoining street. The baby’s dad’s mom and my MiL are bffs. When they were pregnant the first time she knew and would make comments about it all the time. She felt so cool that she knew and no one else did. Made me roll my eyes.

S has had one since her tube fell out, she still has one in. She has the same cold/cough H has though so I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before she gets one too.

My sister lives with her MIL and the whole family is kinda crazy. BIL's brother and his gf came to visit and I guess he got some other (pretty young) girl pregnant and everyone knew but the gf. Well now she found out and it's all this drama but her return flight isn't until Monday so she's kinda stuck? I'm kinda enjoying following the drama via text messages even though I feel awful for the gf haha

My nephew is getting his last treatment right now and then they're releasing him to go home, as long as someone is with him 24 hrs/day. My sister said she was going to start sleeping with him. He's not that happy about it. Lol.
He'll need therapy and follow ups with the pediatric neurologist starting next week. It could be months before he improves completely.
He had a new symptom yesterday that they're contributing the the Miller Fisher Syndrome variance he has with the GBS. He can't put his lips around a straw to drink. Poor kid. I really feel awful for them.
