cagoldi your household needs a break from sickness!!! I’ll cross everything I have for you guys. Not just mine! At the pedi the waiting room was packed and I just got to my urgent care to find no parking and standing room only inside. Crazy.

I hear you on financial anxiety. We had a REALLY tight fall, and we had to hit our savings pretty hard. Once things loosened up a bit, we've been replacing it as fast as possible, but the anxiety doesn't go away very quickly. Costco was great. Good therapy! 😃 We're headed home to throw a brisket on the smoker for tomorrow, and then we're going grocery shopping. cagoldi, P? Boy or girl? I missed the news.

After two boys I wasn't sure what to think, but they've been so much fun in their own way. S is such a girlie girl, so she's my little buddy in the kitchen and anytime I whip out the sewing machine. All pink all the time, or at least a tutu. Nothing like me, but a blast anyway.

Took a couple returns to Target. Then bought more stuff. Wrapping paper was 70% off and I found some that didn't look Christmassy so I can use it for birthdays or whatever. After gcs and returns, I only spent $5 of my own money. Then, we went to Subway where I also didn't spend anything because I had a GC for that too. Now Cadence is watching Umizoomi and I'm going to clean and rearrange her room for the new full size bed. tgrimes I love that dog. She's so pretty! flamingo glad to hear she isn't letting it slow her down. I hope the appt goes well. cagoldi I hope you are able to get in and out of urgent care quickly and you and the boys are in the mend soon!

Ugh. That's the great debate. We both love waiting, but if we have another girl, I think I need a few months to prep. I can't even wrap my head around this one being a girl.

Well mh woke up from nap in a crabby mid and I asked him what he was all upset about since he had only been around E for 1.5hrs today and he just told me he wasn't ready to talk about it. I should respect this. Instead I have him the same behavior and put dishes away very loudly.

Hi! Haven't caught up yet...we had an early appointment at the genius bar at Apple so we made a day of it, got lunch, etc. I also got a new jacket, marked way down. My no-spend January starts Monday so I half-heartedly was like, "Oh, I really shouldn't", but DH said it's technically not January yet so I'm in the clear. What a guy, lol.
Of course, I'm currently sitting here browsing the internet for stuff for the house on which I want to spend all the money I'll be saving next month. Once I get through Christmas I always go into redecorating mode...It's hard b/c I can't actually do anything to this house so I just want to buy all the things.

So sorry to hear about all the illness, still. Urgent care was definitely bustling when I went on Thursday. Hope everyone and the kids are feeling better asap. I don't think I've said it yet, ladystrat, but Congrats!

Disney Live was great. Once we left M turned pretty cranky & whiny. What does she do once we walk in the door? She goes right into H’s room & wakes him up, exactly 2 seconds after I told her not to go into his room. Augh.
MH was still grumpy so I took M to the park. She ran right to the swings. 30 seconds later she falls off and busts her lip open again. Blood everywhere. Awesome.

Why does my kid have so much stuff!?!
Moved her furniture around and now there is less wall space and a pile of stuffed shit in the middle of her room...
She won't let me get rid of any of it either.

We did a purge of B's toy box yesterday but I had to go back and do some more once he was occupied elsewhere. I'm confident he won't ask about any of the stuff I got rid of, but at the time he was adamant that he played with certain things "all the time" that I haven't seen in months. Hmm, ok whatever, kid. Other than a few favorites we keep, stuffed toys have a very short lifespan around here. I'd be drowning in them otherwise. My ILs are kind of bad about this...I do not think B has even a single one that they've given him at this point. I can see them starting to go down this path with C so I guess I'll spend the next few years just culling the herd, over and over. This reminds me I need to do my thank-you notes.

4 hours later I emerge with a Z PAC and diagnosis of bronchitis and sinusitis. No surprise.
Guess I'm lucky because the pharmacist said almost everyone else coming from different Urgent care operations said they were there for 6-8 hours.

We purge stuffed animals around here every few months. I'm pretty sure they breed.
I'm in line at Starbucks, and they made some special concoction just for me (something about white mocha, java chips, cream, and only one pump of something instead of the customary three). I'm excited! Considering I always get water, this is the wild side for sure.

Hope the meds help quickly, @goldi! I'm pretty stealth with the stuffed animal giveaway, too. I think those are the worst toys.

I did the great toy purge of 2017 on Wednesday. Evie wasn't paying much attention to me, so I was able to throw away 2 trash bags and bag up another half bag to donate. I also went through her clothes again, and mine, and took them to donate Thursday. Her closet is still clean because H made a deal with her, that if she keeps everything clean every week, she can get one toy at Target on the weekends.
I spent all day cleaning for the party tomorrow night. So much, that I feel like we should leave the house for the night so it doesn't get messy.
Also used my instant pot for the first time tonight (meatloaf and potatoes), nothing has exploded yet, and it smells really good.

I just took a shower, and I have to dry my hair, but I don't want to. No one in my house has even showered today. Figured what was the point if I was cleaning. Not sure what H's excuse is. Evie even asked why everyone is still in their jammies.

Here's the description. It's just from Cottage Inn (do other people have Cottage Inn pizza??), so nothing fancy: Cheesecake filling base and cinnamon apples, topped with cinnamon sugar

You've motivated me. I'll spend the rest of the long weekend sneaking toys whenever I can. She did say I can donate some of her books to her school.
