Hello friends! I had sinus surgery this past Friday so I'm off work until the new year. Hello extended vacation! Though I've spent the last five days pretty miserable. Yesterday was much better and today feels on par with yesterday, so I seem to be on the mend and now I can enjoy the extra time off. H resigned from his job yesterday. It's been extremely toxic since the university canned the old director and he finally accepted a new, better position at another university about an hour and a half away, so we'll be moving this summer. Very bittersweet. quinn and I will be neighbors though! Also, could you ladies do me a solid? My brother's restaurant is in the running to win best new restaurant in the area for 2018. He's worked his ass off for this and if you all vote for him I'd love you all forever. It's Bear Creek Bar and Grill. www.syracuse.com/best-of-cny/2018/12/what-is-central-new-yorks-best-new-restaurant-of-2018-poll.html

Good Morning! E slept so much better last night! He went 7-2:15 and then 3:30-5:45. I am so happy. The one wake up was long and he cried a lot because he couldn't fall back asleep but I will take it. He was in a great mood when I left. I definitely think we need to make sure he's nice and full at dinner. We'll see how tonight goes.

Things have been going pretty well here, just a bit chaotic getting ready for Christmas. I think we are going down to visit my parents this weekend which should be interesting. My brother and his family were supposed to come up as well but now it looks like that is up in the air. I haven't seen them in a few years so it will probably be awkward if they do come.

Congrats to your H cnf and yay to being close to quinn! My labor buddy turned baby birthday buddy from ds1's bmb may be moving to the east coast and it makes me very excited. I've spent the morning pinning down ds2 to snot sucker him. It's soooo much fun. So many boogers. 🤧 I have to run out to Target this afternoon to pick up a couple small gifts for my cousin's kids. We are getting together and apparently having the kids exchange gifts. 🙄 I am at kid crap overload and it's going to be worse after the holidays. I talked my mom out of getting the paw patrol dire truck thingy that is massive and loud, thankfully.

Hellllooo and happy Wednesday! My day off so my fav day of the work week. Had an HVAC guy out just to inspect/clean the furnace. I love this particular company because they always come at the beginning of the 2 hr window. He asked me if I had any coupons and I said no, but he gave me a promotional price anyway! So nice.
I’m cleaning the house top to bottom. We aren’t hosting anything for Christmas but I’d like to have the house in order anyway. DH went through all of their toys last night and I want to do their clothes today in anticipation of all the gifts they’ll receive.

GDI ds1. Dh called to check on him and apparently he was throwing rocks and knocking down other kids. Like wtaf. He knows better than to do BOTH of those things. Dh and I are both kind of at a loss right now.

Also, hi, all. I have an hour left of work and we are pretty much done. I just need to make it through tomorrow, and then we are off to the ILs through Christmas day. Should be a great, relaxing trip! I scheduled early workout classes Sat, Sun, and Mon, which I am kind of kicking myself for, but at least I will feel better about all the cookies I will consume...

Good morning! I woke up at 4:30 this morning and went to the gym. Just a normal work day and then my parents are taking ds1 overnight. That will be amazing because lately he’s been getting up more than C. We need to re-sleep train our 4 year old 😩
Also I’m craving Chex mix somethin fierce. I’ve never made it before but I might pick up some ingredients on my lunch to make some for this weekend.

Christmas parties for the kids today! Our district is small, and not at all diverse, so we allow holiday celebrations. The kids are beyond excited and I am beyond exhausted. Another terrible night sleep last night. After tomorrow we are on vacation and I think I will be able to deal with the sleep deprivation when at home and not trying to work. My H has the whole week of Christmas off so that will be nice.
I'm currently waiting for some parents who were "less than impressed" with their child's report card. This should be fun. It's not like I didn't talk about these issues at conferences in November.

She has outgrown a lot of stuff in her bins, but out of sight, out of mind. There are tons of kids for us to hand them down to though. I also have a box of clothes that I've just been adding to and I need to do a quick run through there before handing those down too!

Wahhhhhh. Another cousin randomly sent gifts for my kids. I got the box as soon as I got home from Target. Ughhhhhhh. I know #firstworldproblems, but seriously.
Had a busy morning. Got my second pp period last night (also explains why I've been feeling extra shitty lately). Ds2 unhappily partied from 1130-1am. We eventually just shut our bedroom door because he wouldn't settle. He'd fall asleep in our arms and then wake up as soon as we put him down. My mom was here earlier to watch him while I had a work call. The call went well. They were impressed with what I've put together so that's always good.
Ds2 officially prefers walking to crawling. I love watching him try to run. Ds1 keeps saying "mommy! Look! Ds2 is walking really far!!" It's so cute. He is doing ok at school. I was deliriously tired last night so I don't know if I updated here, but we are keeping a close eye on how much he's eating at school. Dh suspects he's not eating enough and that kid gets crazy hangry. Ds2 ate so much when I had to pick him up last week. Still pursuing therapy too though.

Hope you're feeling better soon cnf! Congrats to your H and your brother, I just voted. grumpycat we don't attempt to snot suck unless there are two of us, even when there is someone to pin down H he manages to sneak a hand out to grab the tube lol. Sorry for all the stress with DS1 I hope the therapist is able to help. Afternoon all. Just trying to make it through the day, 2 more days of work then I'm off for a couple days. Need to finish Christmas shopping this weekend, fortunately it's just GC's so it should be easy and I can avoid the crowds. Hopefully taking H to a local farm with my parents this weekend, they are supposed to have lots of Christmasy stuff.

Oh, add me to the period club. I finally got a real one. For months I'd have a few days of PMS, bleed for a couple hours, then it would all just stop and disappear. I went 48 hours between nursing sessions because of my surgery and it seems to have been the push my body needed. Day four of regular flow *grumblegrumble*
