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. 🤦♀️ Snip Umm.... Did you drive or fly? I'm sure they meant well and I'm sure you are very grateful but I'd be more than irritated if I flew and got such large presents... If I drove I would be slightly more understanding but would still hope family considered the logistics of getting stuff home.

ldubhawksfan, that sounds frustrating about the family drama, I'm sorry. As for gifts, can they ship anything? The bigger stuff, IDK. When we travel for Christmas, it is known that they send stuff directly to us or have to ship afterward. Fortunately this time we did have room in our luggage, and H got me a new gym duffel that we packed with stuff to take back.

We looked into shipping and that’s how I know the Jeep alone is $50 to ship. I’m going return and reorder all of the big things and then go buy a cheap bag to check under DD’s name for the rest of the stuff, including a full size bed set for DS.

Also I think im just going to be upfront with my mom about the returning things because shipping is outrageous and insist that I’m 2 years she send the big things and we can Skype when opening either before we travel here or after we return.

ldubhawksfan...here’s the stupid snow you ordered. I’m not loving it. I almost died driving home from dropping the kids off this morning. I was fishtailing all over one of the major roads. I’m glad and lucky that I have so many years driving in this shit so I could fix it. Luckily it is supposed to be in the 40s on sunday so it will all melt. I have a clog/engorgement in my right boob. Hopefully N can clear it before bed because it hurts to the touch.

My in laws live 6 hours drive away and thankfully have always shipped the bigger gifts to us. Definitely talk to your mom for future gifts. I'm sorry you've got to figure out how to deal with this now.

Another busy day here. Dh and I are watching solo. Ds2 has a tooth about to erupt and has been such a grouch. Ds1 has been home with us all week and honestly, he's done pretty well with his behavior. He definitely needs help resetting when he's really excited and patience when he's being resistant. He has been more cooperative with a patient approach vs a no nonsense approach. He's had so much fun with his Christmas gifts though. Like so much pretend play and imagination like crazy.

Ds has basically rejected my boob this whole trip, so I guess my bf journey is basically done. 😢

The 55 week leap/sleep regression is going to be the end of me. Anyone else? He's also cutting teeth so I'm playing the guessing game of "teeth or separation anxiety".

It snowed today and I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get the boys to MIL's, but the roads weren't as bad as anticipated. The snow is so fluffy and almost looks fake, like movie snow. DS3 managed to step into the deepest drifts everywhere today, then got sad the snow followed him into the van and his car seat. Kids are funny. Now I'm enjoying the Sex in the City marathon, I think I catch it every year. So we are switching between HP & SITC for the end of 2018. 😂 I was looking for a new coffeemaker too. I do not want a pod one, and be able to make big cups of coffee at once. Anyone have one they love that isn't $$$? Was it quinn & thatgolfb who got Ninjas? Was it the super fancy one?

clucky we have a ninja coffee maker and I love it! The only problem is that we have hard water, so it was asking to be cleaned every 5-7 days. That was super annoying but we switched to using distilled/bottled water and haven’t had a problem since. It’s a pain to buy gallons of water just to use for coffee but meh. The regular coffee it makes is great and I love making a travel sized mug of iced coffee for just myself. We don’t use the “specialty brew” (aka espresso-like coffee) much but it’s a fun option.

clucky I got this one So, not the super duper fancy version but so far i really like it. The coffee tastes better than the Keurig IMO. I haven't tried any specialty drinks yet though.

Now that things have slowed down a bit hopefully I'll be able to post more here.
AJ is now choosing to walk more instead of crawling. He looks like a drunk teenager 🤣

Is it really creepy? I don’t really like horror movies either. This is like a 4/10 on the creepy scale. It’s just very suspenseful and psychologically spooky. There’s a bit of gore too.

Made chocolate chip waffles this morning. The boys were so excited when they would find a chocolate chip. It was cute.
DS2 is feeling extra "little brother" today and everything is making him whiney, so I'm hoping he will chill out.
I'm not sure about Birdbox, but I have it on my list. Will not be watching it when it is dark outside.

I’m ragey. DH apparently went and bought a new truck yesterday. We’ve had our current one for like 2 years. Granted it’s $12 more a month then what we pay now, for 2 MORE years but without even asking me 👹. So to retaliate I bought myself a new phone and booked myself in for a tattoo. It’s not 40k but I feel better.
