Ds2 STTN again. Perhaps this is a trend of things to come?? I'll take it. He was chirping a little bit at his usual wake up time but settled back down before it really woke me up.
Family pics are tomorrow! I'm excited. I want a good one of me and the boys. I absolutely suffer from the mom in no pics issue. Dh is terrible at taking pics and the ones he takes are just not good.
My back is feeling better thankfully. And the trees have shit the bed so it doesn't even look like I raked the other day. 🙄
Ds1 got invited to a birthday party in December of the kid who isn't always nice to him, but he wants to go so 🤷 dh is going to take him.

Hello! It snowed a couple of inches here, so it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! 😜
My very good friend had her first baby a couple of days ago. Her husband passed away 2 years ago and this baby was a very welcome surprise for her and her SO. They were team green and he’s a perfectly healthy chunky (9lb) little blessing. I’m excited to meet him but I’m going to wait a couple of weeks until this visitors slow down and the food stops flowing so I can bring them dinner and hold baby during possible witching hour while they eat. It always pissed me off when people would insist on visiting right when I came home from the hospital and didn’t bring me food lol.

Yay Friday!!!
We got our first measurable snow fall today. DS1 was so crazy this morning and when we got to school I found that all the kids were crazy. Hopefully they get to do a lot of playing outside today.
I scored a great deal on a snow suit for the baby at consignment so he is ready to play outside too. His boots are way too big but he’s not walking yet so they will do just fine!

Howdy!!
We have wet flurries here so no actual snow, just wet and miserable. Went grocery shopping this morning and now DH is off getting his first tattoo. I want to get another one but I have to wait until mom/tot swimming lessons are over in a couple of weeks.

We have heavy rain here. It's also cold. Tomorrow is supposed to 48. GDI. I have to pick up sweaters for us for photos. It's only a 30 min session but dh was already semi complaining about his nipples showing through his shirt. 🙄 Sigh. Oh well.

Ya it’s winter here. It’s -20C this morning. I’m not feeling that great. I hope it’s just a small virus. I need to pick up my game and get back into a routine. November has been so busy and I need some time at home.
On other news- my work offered me my dream job for the rest of the year if I wanted to come back (after I literally just gave my notice to extend my maternity leave until June like 3 weeks ago). I turned it down. I go between kicking myself for turning it down and happy. I think it’s the right decision now. I said I’d be happy to help as needed on a sub basis but I didn’t want to commit till June which is what this sounded like it would be. I just came to terms with staying home and what that will look like for us. And I’m happy. Oh well. That is life.

We got snow too and wind. The wind is silly. It is funny to look outside and see snow on the ground and then leaves flying around over the top. I've managed to dye a few fingers blue 🤦🏻♀️, but I just keep hoping that tomorrow will go well. I need it to go well. At this point, I'm just hoping AF isn't on its way, because DNW the first back to be while I'm out of my home from 8-6. 🤞🏻 I've done a few things, but these are the most perplexing to "fold" and I'm trying now to stress out about them.

I went shopping with coworkers at lunch and spent more money than I should have. Oh well. I think I am going to a college football game with FIL tomorrow. H just casually mentioned it so I don't know what the actual deal is. It should be fun if I do go though I guess.

DD is currently crying because it’s not her birthday and that it is not fair that DS1 turned 6 and isn’t 5 anymore and soon N is going to be 1 and she is still stuck being 3.
Threenagers. Seriously.

This week has kicked my ass. Monday night were conferences. Tuesday all day workshop. Wednesday afternoon late staff meeting. Thursday grade level meeting, and today a walking field trip. And of course E was up 3 times again and I’ve been basically up since 3:00 am. Yuck.

My last conference of the night was 20 minutes late (and called so I kind of had to wait), so instead of being at work until 6, it ended up being closer to 6:30. I’m exhausted. It already felt like a long week, so an 11 hour work day toda did me in. I just ate pizza and now I’m drinking some wine.

So, I arrive at work at 7 and then have to stay until then. Plus add a 45 minutes commute on each end. 👎🏻

Then, I had 5 no-shows that will have to be before or after school next week since we have to meet with everyone.

I hate when parents don’t show up for conferences. We have to meet with everyone too. So then I have to reschedule for before/after and half the time they don’t show up anyways. Then I have to phone and meet via phone. Ugh.
As for gifts: gift cards, coffee etc. I’m a sucker for all the cheesy “teacher” mugs and sayings so I love that stuff. Pedicure/manicure stuff is good too. Chocolates.
