I am at work this morning. My coworker had to come in for a stat case on Monday,and he ended up finishing all the Saturday stuff- which I was supposed to do today. So now I really have barely anything to do. LOL. I have some monthly maintenance I will get done, and I think H will bring the kids to meet me for lunch. So that's nice!

Lol thatgolfb, you say that a lot 😁 enjoy your work day lunch though, those are always nice. Aww roloma, he'll be ok, I know it sucks though! Glad everyone had a great Christmas. We're having a relaxing day today. I'm back at work tomorrow and DH has to go in for the morning so my mom will come hang with DD. I might try and find a pair of boots on sale today. My favorite ones are wearing out and I can't find anything the same 😣

Also our workflow has gotten more efficient which is good, but leaves us with extra time.

roloma that is sad! But it's for the best and he (and you!) will feel so much better when it's done. I know you know this, but I figured you might need to hear it. Huge hugs to you both Thank you ❤️ Was it you that said AJ had started whistling? N just started purposely whistling the last couple of days. It’s so cute. He doesn’t talk really but he walks around “singing” and whistling. These kids 😍

I'm here at work training... It's going okay but I need to leave early today (issue with childcare) so I'm trying not to rush but at the same time we need to get stuff done lol. Ds2 actually had a decent night despite his cough, it sounded a touch croupy around 2 am so we stood in the doorway for a bit which helped- only plus side of a cold climate!
Over the weekend my BIL had a stomach bug and they were staying at my parents house, my dad got it last night so I'm praying the rest of us are spared!

Hi everyone! I went into work and left a crying B with daycare. He was home 10/11 of the last days so he has been clingy. I need a break before the next 4 day weekend.
It was empty at work so I ran to Joann’s to get stuff to knit him a hat and make toddler pillowcases before he goes up to the toddler room at DC. I’m not ready.
But now I’m still in line and I’m getting hangry.

I have a friend I grew up with since the age of about 3. Our parents are BFFs. Her parents moved to Hawaii when we were in high school, but our families are still close. I went to her wedding in Hawaii 5 years ago.
Anyway, she is there for the Christmas holiday with her family and they ran into Obama on a golf course just now. He spoke with them and talked to their 2 year old about her new boat toy. I dieeeee.

I have half an hour left of work. I am going to a waxing appointment on my way home. Over lunch, DD1 told me about how she and H played Catan Jr. (one of the games I got her for Christmas), and she apparently loves it. I really want to play when I get home. H said it is a little advanced (she is almost 5 and it says 6+, so that makes sense), but that she pretty much got the hang of it.

C has a double ear infection but he’s such a trooper - as long as he’s got Tylenol/ibuprofen on board he is acting like his normal self. We rested a bit this afternoon and I made macaroni and cheese with leftover brisket and bacon- OMG so good but I’m ready to be done with all of the rich holiday food.

Ds2 slept surprisingly well for having a nasty cough. Ds1 developed a fever and sore throat last night, luckily he seemed in good spirits this morning and he had a planned day with my mom anyways. Go away germs!

Happy Christmas week! I’m at work today and it’s absolutely dead.
Glad to hear so many of you had good holidays. Sorry about the sick kiddos.
Our Christmas was good. We need to work a bit on gratefulness with DS1. But overall we took it easy and had a nice time. H and I sent the boys to daycare Christmas Eve and cleaned the whole house. It was magical. I don’t think it’s been that clean in well over a year. And then of course the toys exploded on Christmas morning. But I’ll take it.

Hi! We've had quite the week. L ended up with a fever on Friday so I stayed home with him and thankfully we were able to get into the doctor who prescribed some abx. He had been dealing with drainage and a cough for the week prior and it had gotten into his lungs. He still has a runny nose and he has been "talking" like a baby smoker but he seems to be feeling much better now.
Christmas was good. L was oblivious mostly but he seemed to have fun and DS1 loved all of his presents. H got me a bracelet and an Apple watch. (I used to have one but it broke) MIL got me a bread maker which I'm excited to use. I am in full purge mode at the moment now and went through L's room yesterday to get rid of things he's outgrown or doesn't play with. I am going to try and tackle DS1's room this weekend hopefully. We have so much stuff and I am terrible about getting rid of things, I'm trying to do what I can while I'm in this mindset lol.

Our formal sitting room has been a playroom for a while but we had to do some rearranging to make the new kitchen fit. I wanted to purge but it didn't happen. As much as I'm not excited to move this summer, I can't freaking wait to get rid of stuff!

I had ds1 go through his trucks and he actually picked out several that he no longer wanted. I was shocked but happy lol. We've had a busy day. Dh and ds1 being home during the week is hectic. I am definitely ready for my chill week days again. Poor ds2 has another tooth coming in and it's tearing his little bum up. He woke up from his nap earlier today early and in pain. It already looked better after I coated him in diaper cream.

Work was actually fairly busy today, which was surprising, but kind of good, because it kept me busy. I was initially planning to leave early to get to an OTF class at noon, but then H suggested meeting me again for lunch today and I couldn't say no to that! The restaurant in my work building was open so we went there, and he and the kids got to walk through the lab and say hi. I am going to a different afternoon OTF class after work. I took a 1.5 hour lunch so I only have 30 minutes left, LOL.

Yay thatgolfb! Today was busy for me, just twenty minutes left now and I'm ready for bed!! Last night was not great. Almost took DD to Emerg because her breathing was super quick, but after we got some tylenol in her and water and a snack and made her wake up a bit, it got better. Our doctor is out until the 4th DH wants to give her one more day and he'll go to the clinic tomorrow if she's not any better Damn illnesses, eh? Can't wait for spring!!

N had his appointment with the pediatric eye specialist today. He confirmed that it is indeed a blocked tear duct. He told us that we were in the “it’s up to us” category when it comes to having the procedure to clear it since it isn’t really doing any damage. We’ve decided to try to schedule the tubes surgery and eye peocedure at the same time. I’m not entirely hopeful that we can get them to schedule time to do them both in the near future. It’s mainly on the eye doctor...they have their own surgery center but he would have to go to the hospital in order to do them together and I could tell he wasn’t really into that. If it is only to be too far in the future, we’ll skip the eye for now and just get the tubes done. Maybe do the eye next year. There is one other pediatric eye surgeon in our city and it might be possible that it would be easier to schedule the dual surgery with her, so that could be an option too. At least I know now that the eye isn’t causing damage so I feel comfortable if we have to forgo it. We should know soon.
Whew...you deserve a drink if you made it through all of that. In better news, we booked our Disney hotel for our trip in March! I have a meeting there so we’ll stay at my meeting hotel for a few days, then Disney for a few. I’m really looking forward to it.

Glad to hear the good news about his eye roloma, but it’s a bummer that it won’t be easy to get the procedures done at the same time.

Hi. I’ve got a moment while ds is still asleep and dh took dd down for bfast. We are in a hotel now for the rest of our trip. Xmas was nice, though had a big family drama fight between siblings. Awkward because my kids were still awake when the screaming started. No place is childproof so no relaxing for us. Last night my mom watched the kids for the first time and got a DS cuddly nap but it was at 8:30, so guess who was up until 11:30 last night?! roloma this rain blows. Did not pack rain jackets or umbrella.

Also bless my family (mom specifically) for being so generous but how tf am I supposed to get this all home?! The box is a Jeep with a surfboard for one of those 2 ft dolls which she also got. That thing will now cost $50 to ship Home. I’m going to try to return and rebuy as much as I can, so that is a fun use of our time here. Also, we still have one Christmas tonight. 🤦♀️

Morning!! It’s my first day off since Christmas Day. Dh took DS with him to get my car’s oil changed and snow tires put on. So I have the girls to myself. I haven’t seen them since basically Monday. I’m tidying up around the house a bit. We’re heading to my parents this afternoon for our final Christmas! My brother came home last night!
