I was just trying to catch up on everyone. I'm so far behind. I didn't even realize sophiegrace was pregnant. I'm terrible. Congratulations! I'm so excited for more matching family pictures. Today I think we have a morning and afternoon playdate. I also want to get out my Christmas decor. I need to make a to-do list in general because I feel like I have 50 million things to do that I havent done. I can't believe tomorrow is December 1st.

Thanks sarahwithanh! I’ve really talked about how miserable I’ve been feeling in the health thread, not too much about the actual pregnancy in the day to day threads. I’m going to have to up my matching game, but I’m up for the challenge!

My sister and I are putting together a Christmas Eve meal and it’s taken turn into being hilariously ridiculous. We’re doing a normal Christmas dinner on the actual day so we wanted fun favorite snacky foods for Christmas Eve. Our menu is now a page long. It’s great.

Same sarahwithanh. On both sophiegrace (congrats again girl! I sent you a novel last night, but ignore it if I said too much) and on feeling like I have 50,000 things I need to do and trying to keep them straight. I finally figured out how to use my phone to set a reminder every time I think of something. It's been vaguely helpful. Lol. Lilah is better (she had croup) but I'm not sure if she's out of the contagious zone yet so we are staying away from the playdate this morning. I also decided to skip MNO tonight. It's Bingo in a place with a smoking section so it wasn't hard for DH acting like I never told him (I did on at least 3 different occasions), Lillian bursting into tears that I wouldn't be here for bedtime, and Lilah generally being super tantrumy already to convince me to skip it. Im going to go to the craft store and we are going to a holiday event tonight. I got one stocking almost done yesterday and it's really cute. Going to try to do another one or two this afternoon. My goal is to finish them by Monday and get the names ironed on shortly thereafter. I want them 100% done by the time we get our tree next weekend.

Its official. My kids need to go TF to “school” (daycare/program) full time.
They are, like, running circles around me right now. I don’t even have anything in the house to start drinking. It’s bad.
Thy just repeat themselves 3,529 times until I am finished helping the other and can redirect my attention to them.

kleigh I don't know how you manage two toddlers. Monty isn't talking or walking and he's still a handful and there is only 1 of him.

Its gross and wet today. I called the doctor this morning because in addition to the never ending rash, C now has some weird lump popping out of his gum. These kids are stressing me out with all the weird health stuff. They never do anything simple/obvious (like me I guess). Once again she's gonna squeeze us in this afternoon.

I took a sewing class in high school but I wasn't great I look at getting one every few months, but the same thought holds me back. I don’t want it just sitting there and I’m not sure I have the attention span or desire currently to learn.

And then there’s the starbuck s of the world who do even more. I don’t know man, this stuff is hard. Couple weeks ago we went to a parade a few towns over and ran into friends of friends. They have a 2.5yr old and a 14month old. It was one of those moments where MH and I walked away going, JFC we’ve got it easy, bless our kids, they’re saints. They didn’t so much as speak a word while hers were wreaking all types of havoc on her and her H.

I asked MH to get my a sewing machine for birthdays/Christmases for a few years before he finally did 2 years ago. It's still in it's box in the closet. I just haven't had the time to bust it out and try it. There's a craft store in my town that has classes, but again, finding the time to get there is difficult because the classes are all on week nights.

Except it was a gift from my parents, four year ago I think? One day I will get it out and actually use it. I swear.

Also, I would have to use the sewing machine at the kitchen table, which would mean I would have to wait until the kids are in bed, and by that point I'm ready for bed myself. But I'm not ready to give up my sewing dreams yet! It'll happen one day.

I participated in the confessions thread on GD. Since I thought you all would appreciate it and instead of making you all try to find it, I'll just repost here. Coming off of a poster confessing she sang "diaper diaper diaper" to the Hefty bag jingle during newborn diaper changes, I wrote:
I've got an even more shameful one. To the tune of Chili's baby back ribs commercial song, I used to sing:
🎶 you've got a baby butt, baby butt, baby butt
(kid's name)'s baby butt's bare, (kid's name)'s baby butt's bare
And I'm cleaning it off 🎶
I can't believe I just wrote that out. I've never told a soul before now (though my H was a witness).

I've been trying to post all morning but these 'above my pay grade' work situations are taking over my life. One week down and two more to go... pray for me. I'm exhausted, and I have plans to take a hot shower, get on some comfy HA pyjamas and curl up and watch the Christmas Prince sequel this evening. That's what's keeping me going today.

I used some recognition points from work so I wouldn’t need to drop $$ on it and feel bad if it never got used. So far I’ve made a few infinity scarfs, a suspended skirt that didn’t turn out very well and super cute hat for L!
