trtlcrzy I've seen the charity-gift wrap thing at malls here, too. I'm sure it will surprise no one that I love gift-wrapping.( I try to coordinate papers to the tree/decor color scheme. Yes, I am #extra.) I miss not having ridiculous numbers of gifts to wrap this year, just stuff for the kids and MH. Same. I just need to learn how to make pretty bows... 🤔

flamingo , I'm not sure why but I'm surprised you get a real tree! Haha! I guess my traditionalist tendencies override my need for perfection. And I like the smell. Both DH and I grew up with real trees; even when I was single and living alone I would still buy a real one to put up! I used to be super anti-fake tree. Now it's something I'd consider, but I'd want a really, really nice one, and I don't want to do it until we're in our long-term house.

There are so many sweet little southern ladies on there with videos on how to do it, lol. I watched one named Nancy to make my bow tree-topper this year

A got paint all over the trim I already painted in the boys room. I told him the trim tool we had didn't work on the bottom trim. Apparently he forgot. I'm going to have to repaint all the bottom trim and then re edge with the blue. All.the.way.around. I'm seeing red.

I learned pretty early in our painting career that mH--God love him--cannot be trusted with cutting in. He's just not detail-oriented enough.

Tbh I probably would have done all the trim painting last for just that reason, less chance of screwing it up with other paint.

lahdeedah Good to know! I’m definitely going on Julia’s nap today so I’ll check it out. What colour did you get? I got navy in the cozy city, charcoal grey in the turtleneck sweatshirt.

@lahdeehdah was third a job interview for yh? How did you all like the place? Kind of. The job is his to turn down if he wants. It’s a better set up for him than his current job, but gah I don’t want to move just yet. It’s more of I didn’t think I would/don’t want to be moving here. The Deep South won’t let me go... it’s just keeps pulling me in further. 😫😫

Morning. Mh and I got into a little Tiff last night and he's acting like nothing happened🙄. We just went to Costco and apparently they sold out of trees in record time, whoops. I also texted my friend that had twins if she needed anything...5 salad bags and a $100 tenderloin 😂. So we got that for her and dropped it on her doorstep since I'm still sick and couldn't go in. Now lunch and have a work holiday party this afternoon an hour away..not excited about this at all. Yeah, we had to go to several different places to find a tree--I heard there was a tree shortage this year! That + good economy = sold out, I guess. Hope you can find one! also, I'm laughing at the bagged salad requests...I was standing in front of the (restocked) salad section at Target and a nearby employee asked if I needed help. I was like, "I don't think so...I'm just kind of amazed to see lettuce again!" I bought several, too. He probably thought I was crazy but was nice enough to play along. Eek I hasn't heard of the shortage! We have lots of corner lots but was hoping to get ok marginally cheaper at Costco or whole foods. We may try after this party if we are not melting down. Mh said the whole produce section has been wiped out lately, I guess I didn't realize the recall was over but assume it is since Costco sold me romaine today.

Cadence and I laid in bed til 1030, then I went to the craft store to look at their Garland. Cadence didn't want to go so she stayed home with mh. After lunch they left for his dad's house. 2 quiet afternoons in a row!!!!

They're back and they are LOUD. Mh is currently playing the drums while Cadence talks/sings into the mic. I guess I should just be happy they are playing together.

N had her Christmas program at church today. She stood on stage and cried the entire time. I don’t know where her sudden fear came from or how to handle it.
ILs drove up for it. And just like the dance recital and grandparents day, she did not perform for them to actually seen anything.
We went out for lunch after and then they stopped at our house for a bit. Now the kids are still napping (and I just woke up from a nap).
We are heading to my sisters when they wake up. I’m excited to meet the new puppy she just got yesterday.

Happened again at dance this week and dh took her out kicking and Screaming. I’m hoping it’s just a phase and she’ll outgrow it. Her teacher said she did great practicing her song in the classroom but as soon as they walked into the church she was scared by all the people.

I'm sure she'll outgrow it, but I know it stinks when you're in the moment.

I managed to injure my back today. I laid on the bed so A could try to work out the sore spot and I couldnt get up... I have a ton of work to do tomorrow so I'll put a heating pad on it and hopefully I'll be good to paint by wednesday when the boys are at the sitters.

If she wasn't having fun at class I'd say pull her until she wants to do it again. Or maybe have grandparents just come to a class and take the pressure off the recitals. If she's like j, she prob needs extra snuggles, these kids are figuring out the world😕 Somewhat related - i was watching "I'm sorry" on Netflix and there was an episode where they go to dance and they sit in the lobby and the daughter refuses to go in, but they still go bc they paid for it.. basically my sister/neice. Thankfully my sis got her money back. It was pretty funny.

The work party was actually pretty fun. They have babysitters and they were awesome this year. Grad students at a local college. I found myself sitting in a chair while two sitters doted on N, who was having the time of her life. They had crafts and the food for adults was great. N only wanted pineapple and since she couldn't have the cookies that were out I was letting her have Hershey kisses that I'd bite into smaller pieces..she takes after me with her love for chocolate!
