We came home early from our trip, in part b/c B has a pretty nasty cold complete with an awful cough.
Guess who started sneezing last night and is currently super congested... Thanks, kid.

Although she really hasn't been listening so... The amount of times in the morning and evening that I remind Evie that Santa is watching here is terrible. |

Happy birthday @sweetpotatoe and chrisy01 and snoopmommymomSo the last few morning I have been feeling kind of nauseous after I go to the gym. I freaked myself out and went to target to get a pregnancy test. Longest three minutes ever, but no baby unicorns in this ute!! I think maybe I haven’t been eating enough for breakfast before I go workout. Anyway, I’m Just over here drowning in Christmas stuff. We went and saw Santa last night, I have about 8 more gift boxes of cookies to assemble and deliver, a million presents to wrap and zero energy. I also fell behind on shipping gifts and had to give UPS all my money for three day shipping today. I think dh is annoyed at me, but I’m annoyed that I do ALL the wrapping, baking, planning, shopping, and sending of everything for Christmas! |

I’m so annoyed with my H. He keeps ‘organising’ and then forgetting where the hell he left stuff. Including two pairs of jeans I got for ds last week. I mean wth, where can you put those?! He’s now trying to pin it on me ‘who says you didn’t put them somewhere’? Well *if* I would have put them somewhere it would have been the clean clothes hamper or his closets. They are in neither of those places.

Why didn’t MIL tell you she isn’t doing stockings? Nothing like waiting till the last minute. She's still doing them. But Santa doesn't go to her house. So Santa needs to leave M a stocking at our house. A teacher at school must have said something about Santa bringing stockings to kids who listen. I have no idea. Can you borrow MILs? and bring them to her house so she can put her stuff in after? After I type that out, I don’t think it’s a good idea anymore... Maybe you can just send her a note from Santa or her elf saying he dropped off the stocking at MILs house. I may be over thinking this for you... lol |

Matthew was fine for a while but woke up from his nap telling me he had to throw up. Then threw up everything he's eaten all day.. so no shopping pedicure day for me tomorrow.

I really need a house with a proper tub that isn’t directly above my child’s bed.
Soaking in a bath every night would greatly improve my quality of life.

tgrimes just tell her that Grandma likes doing stockings so much that she called Santa and asked if she could do them for M & H. She still needs to listen, though, because Santa is going to call MIL on Christmas Eve to let her know if they get stockings or not.

She also does our pantry and it makes no sense to me. Like she moved all the garbage bags from the box and put them in a plastic grocery bag and then put all the plastic grocery bags in the garbage bag box. Coffee filters are now in a hot chocolate box. It really makes it hard to find stuff! |

dapostrophe did the guy not look behind him and see you running at him? I’m glad you guys didn’t get hit. It was really bizarre. There were kids running around...so like before she even got in her car, she did not notice them, me yelling and running with a stroller when she got in her car, and then she gunned it out of her driveway and angled right for us, so she was obviously not checking the rearview or side mirrors. It was like the ultimate distracted driving situation. |

Ok help. My family and I have been doing little $50 random acts of kindness around. I have a coworker who is a single mom to 2 teenagers and has just had some rough luck. I'm sending her a card and $50 bill from my family just as a tiny pick me up. It'll be signed by "santa" and anonymous. What do I write in the card? Have a happy holiday? Sending you a little extra joy? A little something for you to spend on you?
Help! I'm drinking and bad at words to begin with.

S got her AFO’s. Then we had to go shoe shopping because we had to size up 2 sizes and get wide width shoes to fit them. I got 3 new pairs of shoes for her. She doesn’t love them...but is tolerating them ok. I can already see she is more steady on her feet with them. And she must be exhausted because she grabbed my hand and pulled me to the bed for me to put her to bed. Lol. That doesn’t happen very often.  |

Today was rough. My boss is really making things difficult and he wasn’t even in the office. Pretty much everyone in the company thinks he’s up to something sneaky... so that’s great. Luckily, i only have Friday morning left of work for 2 weeks. Well, and our Christmas lunch Friday afternoon where he’ll act like a big shot the whole time🙄
Dh is out tonight so I’m on the couch with a glass of fireball on ice, fireplace on, and hallmark movies. I think I’ll survive. 😉

I'm not typically a bath person but I enjoy taking a few a year. This house only has a tub in the kids' bathroom and it's lackluster, to say the least...def. for kids only. So of course not having access to a tub makes me want to take baths! |

Glad you made it through your first day of appointments and the new braces/shoes lfig . Hope S gets a good night's sleep tonight! wineallthetime That is a really sweet gesture. I like the one about bringing extra joy, although I might say "cheer" instead of joy. I think keeping it simple is best since you are trying to keep it anonymous. I am watching Property Brothers and this couple is interesting...they don't seem to "go" together. The husband is this is kinda greasy-looking hipster, looks like he probably teaches goat yoga or whatnot...and then they reveal their budget is over $1.1 million, in Nashville. Always a surprise on these HGTV shows! Maybe they are in the music business or something? |

We have a decent tub for baths, it’s deep and it’s a corner tub so it’s larger than standard, but I would love an upgrade still! It definitely helps melt the stress away, and warms my soul...literally! |
