Friday

[wineallthetime]

It's FRIDAY!!!

[wineallthetime]

I have a wine headache and the big kids got up at 5:30. MH just left for work and I think the kids and I are hanging out with my sister and nieces later. It's a no school day for C.

[wineallthetime]

And I woke up really wanting ice cream.

Morning! I made the salt dough walnuts today and they turned out great. I feel a lot better than yesterday, about to pick up ds from school. Not much on the agenda today.

This is one of the few things I will rarely say no to. It would have to be a really boring flavor!

[guster]

Morning!
I woke up to af this morning and a ridiculous dream that goats and a chicken were roaming in my front yard.
I have to run to Walmart or Target for some stuff and then out the Mrs. Claus boxes together for tomorrow. Juniper latte somewhere in the middle. The bsbyguynyc’s video of it had me hysterical last night.

Morning! About to get ready to run, then I pack up and head to the airport!! I won't actually get home until almost bedtime but I don't even care - I can't wait to give everyone big hugs.

I also need to make sure DH rests up and gets better. So I need to force myself to sleep on the plane otherwise it's going to be a painfully long weekend.

Hi all! I hope your Thanksgiving celebrations went well. We're gearing up for Christmas with my husband's side tomorrow at our house. In-laws are leaving for their winter home on Thursday. I need to clean the fridge this morning and then buy the meat.

We've done all the testing in advance of an IUI and plan to do a cycle at the beginning of the year. We've discovered that I develop 12-15 follicles every month instead of the standard 1-5, and they still want to put me on fertility drugs, so if you hear news out of Michigan about a woman catching up with the Duggars in one pregnancy, you can tell your friends you knew her back before she was the size of a house.

Kids are well. We're well. Here's our photo from our Christmas card this year.

ladystrat cute picture!!!

[guster]

That’s a really fun Christmas card, ladystrat!

[mwhip]

Morning and happy Friday ladies! I hope everyone has a good day!

Got in the car with Evie this morning and my radio came on, my flash drive was playing something she shouldn't listen to, so I quickly hit the button to change it to Siriux and Sex on Fire was on. From the back, she goes 'mom, does that say Six on Fire?' Yes kid, it says six. So I changed the station and muted the volume for our drive.

tgrimes is H feeling better this morning?

[chrisy01]

Hi!! Work has been crazy. I just found out I have to take a 2 week training course in either January or February. It’s super expensive so I’m nervous about doing well.

Today will be an easy day at work sort of. My director is volunteering our time to do charity work. He wanted all of us to come so he said he would still pay us. I was planning on doing it without the pay but he told my boss to cancel my vacation day and have me “work” the event.

E has been miss cranky pants.

Mh was in charge of getting the things for the Ms. Claus package. I gave him a list of ideas, so it would have been easy for him. Guess who is going to Target today to get everything? Yep, me. I'm so irritated.

What are you putting in? I feel like I don't have enough! 

[nam2013]

I love your mrs. Claus tradition. It’s just with Sinterklaas the kids get enough presents as it is already. I just want to make all the cute baskets/boxes!

Christmas pjs, this year's ornament, candy canes to hang on the Christmas tree, hot chocolate, fun marshmallow stir sticks, a Christmas book, a Christmas movie, these plaster things from the Target dollar spot that she loves to paint(right now they have Christmas themed ones, but every month they have something new it seems), normally a gingerbread house kit, but my Mom got her one, so idk what I'm going to get to replace it. I mentioned yesterday that I hope Mrs. Claus knows Grandma already got the gingerbread house, but Cadence said she wouldn't mind having 2, so maybe I'll get this gingerbread train that I've seen.

I also need to get things for the advent calendar.

[dapostrophe]

What is a Mrs. Claus package?

[lahdeedah]

The type A planner in me really dislikes people like that nam2013.

Cute! ladystrat

I need to make my list tonight of what our elf, Tickle is bringing the boys tomorrow when he “appears”. Probably tickets to see The Grinch movie, the advent calendar if it is delivered today- I ordered it Monday, so not pleased about my non two day shipping- a candy-filled candy cane, a Christmas book, and not sure what else. He already saw the Christmas PJs and worn them this week, so that’s out. Oops!

We’d get along real nice 😉.

Happy Friday ladies. I'm not looking forward to a long drive tonight but I might actually get some sort of caffeinated beverage (I never drink coffee/pop [I'll translate that to soda for those basically everywhere else in the country and abroad]).

I'm all caught up at work for the first time since maybe July. It's been insane and it's finally slowed just enough I could get on top of everything. One of my coworkers is always way behind and I was going to take one of his cases, but decided not to because as a typical man he'll make sure everyone knows if he takes someone else's assignment but never broadcasts whenever anyone does the same for him. Furthermore, I was gone for 2 weeks for my other job and completed the same amount of work as him this month and he was here the entire time. So nope. I'll work on some CE's/Netflix. I also scheduled a massage for lunch that will make for a very extended lunch break. I give no effs today.

[dapostrophe]

Good for you inthekitty. Enjoy that massage 😉

I had never heard of it until guster mentioned it a couple years ago but it’s so fun!

We’re doing Christmas Jammies, ornaments, books, fancy hot chocolates, advent calendars, and then settling in to watch Grinch.

[cagoldi]

You more than earned that R&R, inthekitty. Enjoy!

[cagoldi]

Cute pic, ladystrat. Best of luck with the IUI.

[guster]

I have Christmas jammies, the felt tree, the advent calendar, silly headbands and glasses, coloring books, pencils with Christmas erasers, snow globes, socks, mittens, and magnets.
I bought a big Christmas tin to put it in this year.

[peachsmama]

Crap. I have to go to the storage unit and get the box. I wonder where that is....

[guster]

I am completely underwhelmed with the juniper latte. It taste just a regular latte with some kind of light flavoring that I would never be able to put my finger on.

I may try again tomorrow and ask them to go a little bit heavier on the flavoring.
