Even though I had a 3 day weekend, I'm still super excited to only be working 2 days this week.
Friday I did end with a snow day and I got some much wrapping done. Saturday was mostly chores and cleaning around the house. Yesterday, I was sidelined by a migraine. I don't get them often but I have no known triggers so they come on out of nowhere. Now, I am back at work. Conferences are done for the fall and I have no meetings this week. It's awesome.

It's a Monday for sure! I stayed up way too late last night and I'm paying for it today. About to treat myself to some breakfast and then start working. At least it's a short week!

Sorry for the migraine, sarahandben108! But happy it's a short week for you (and most of us!) Glad the party went well, quinn! I finally started feeling better by Friday night. I was convinced it was food poisoning until H started throwing up yesterday. Ugh. Also N has been... off... since Friday night. He threw up his puree (not projectile vomiting but like an aggressive spit up) Saturday morning and had been not finishing his bottles since about Thursday or Friday afternoon. I was worried he would get dehydrated so he had some half strength pedialyte and that helped. He spit up some more Saturday night after his bedtime bottle but was drinking more yesterday. Fully finished all of his morning bottles (I started giving him smaller amounts more frequently, per the pedi), but wasn't finishing his afternoon ones. Then he tossed up his bedtime bottle all over me, and still took another hour to settle after that. Given mine and H's symptoms, I don't think he has what we had, knock on wood. That was BAD, but fast. DCP thinks he's teething, and I'm inclined to agree, especially since he'e also got a runny nose (no temp). I think the combo of the saliva and snot going into his tummy is irritating. He also hadn't pooped since yesterday morning so I think that backup played a part as well. He had all of his pre-DC bottle this morning, and I just got a note he pooped there, so hoping that will help him feel better. He was SO CLINGY all weekend - even if I put him down with his toys he'd just crawl right back on my lap. I love my son, but I was more than a little happy to bring him to DC today and go to work. So I apologize for largely being absent the last few days, clingy baby plus sick H barely left me any time to pee let alone check my phone. This is all I want for the holidays - to go a week or two without anyone in our house getting sick. I feel like we've just been swapping shit back and forth for two straight months now. Also, N's new favorite game is for me to put him down, then try to get into the bathroom and close the door before he crawls after me (or H). He thinks this is just the most hilarious thing ever.

quinn it was good! Everyone raved over my super simple pizza buns. Lol. Nolan was chill and just sat on my dads lap 90% of the time. He loved his cake There was a pretty big CFL football game (for our local) team so we ended up dragging our tv downstairs and streaming the game. Lol. I didn’t care. My SIL was all taken aback that I would do such a thing. Then I told her it was her husband’s idea and she was not happy with him. 😂😂😂 All in all it was fun. Kids had fun. Nolan would rather play with the big box that his trucks came in than his toys. Lol

Morning!! It’s a Monday for sure. DD2 is sick with boogery eyes and all. Poor thing. I can’t believe she’s going to be one on Wednesday. I spent the weekend recovering from surgery...ha just kidding. Basically it was business as usual around here. I took the two big kids to the Santa Claus parade. DD2 ‘s party is this coming Saturday and then it’s going to be Christmas 24/7. I go back to work on Thursday. I can’t believe it’s been a whole year.

I may be the only one not looking forward to this holiday week. The boys have 2 days of school. H works crazy hours getting ready for Black Friday both setting up the store and pulling and shipping online orders. Wednesday he goes in at 3pm and home, hopefully, by 3am Thursday. Then he has to leave at 2pm - 10:30pm Thursday. Friday is a normal day shift. Then Sunday and Monday he will work overnight again for Cyber Monday shipping. This week is one of my least favorite of the whole year.

And not to be a bah-humbug, but the kids have been spiking fevers at night and have horrible coughs.
Maybe I will have to grab a bottle of wine while my parents are here (tomorrow night until Friday morning).

Hi, all. I’m taking a mental health day from work. Much needed. Which means I am only working 2 days this week, lol. The girls are at day care and I stopped and got my fave avocado toast and a coffee from my fave coffee shop. I’m now watching last week’s Greys while laundry washes. ☕️

I am really looking forward to a short week. Everyone and everything is annoying to me right now. I haven't been feeling well since yesterday and I sliced my finger really bad with a vegetable peeler last night. I just don't have the motivation.
I let N eat the waffle for breakfast at daycare today. He loved it so hopefully he doesn't react to the dairy in it. He seems to be 100% fine with all versions of soy that we have tried and he was ok with baked dairy in goldfish crackers. I am cautiously optimistic that we are getting very close to being done with this whole thing. Fingers crossed so hard!

Black Friday shit is so hard on families, and I'm sure dealing with insane customers doesn't help either.

That sounds horrible clucky. It's really not fair so many people are affected by Black Friday in that way. Personally, I avoid shopping like the plague that weekend.

Hi all!! Life has been crazy. We had the joint bday party last weekend, my mom and niece flew in for it, and the illness plague is still on our house. The party was great and DS went crazy on the smash cake, unlike DD 2 years ago! Unfortunately the first sugar intake left his stomach upset and he puked twice sat night!
Now to our hosting Thursday so I’ll stull be a bit mia.

Yay it's only a 2-day work week for me!
I officially put the girls' birthday party invitations in the mail, so I need to get to actually planning the party now.
I'm leaving an hour early today to take Paris to a weight check. Fingers crossed her weight percentile has gone up a smidge! Tonight we need to go grocery shopping and I'm hoping we can put up some Christmas decorations. My H pulled them down from the attic yesterday but then my brother and his girlfriend came over so we didn't end up getting to decorate.
Tomorrow's my birthday so I'm hoping my mom and SIL will bring the girls to have lunch with me. And then we're going out to dinner at Benihana.
In other news, I've started shopping a few "black Friday" deals already with gift cards I had (then of course spent a bit more). I've been thinking about buying a pair of Crocs, or Croc knock offs for DD1. She always gravitates toward them at the store. I loathe them, but ughh being a mom is letting your kids make crazy outfit choices right? I'm going to check and see if there's any sales on them. Anyone else shopping some good sales? I don't really know what to buy DD1. She wants dolls and a bunk bed. She already has a million dolls and I'm not ready for bunk beds.
