I’m currently arguing with the 2 yo that Olaf is indeed a bandaid from her box of Frozen bandaids. E somehow cut his finger and asked for a bandaid. Get him sorted out and of course L is insisting that her finger has a cut on it too. 2yo asks for a frozen bandaid, show her the box to prove it’s Frozen and pull out a bandaid from that box. Show her that it is indeed Olaf and ask that that’s the one she wants. “Yes Olaf”. Ask what finger this sympathy cut is on, she changes her mind twice and settles on a random finger. Great! Take Olaf bandaid out and start putting it on a different finger from the one she pointed to. Cue freak out! “No Olaf! Elsa” show the 2yo that there are no damn Elsa bandaids left in the box! Immediately drops to the floor and cries. ::walks out of bathroom and back to couch:: 2yo walks into living room 2 mins later asking for another pancake like none of this happened.

We’re eating eggs and bacon and then I’m taking the kids to the park. MH is in a mood. 🙄

I survived fowling last night. I have no upper body strength but I managed to hit one pin and it was the game winner that round. It was fun but man there are footballs flying all over the place. One of our friends got hit right in the nose. It was like a Marsha Brady situation. A couple of our friends went out afterwards but I was exhausted and passed out immediately when we got in the car. I have no idea how I'll make it to midnight on NYE 😂

M fell asleep on the way to the grocery store. Trying to decide how much peace and quiet I want before waking him up. FX he isn't a bear. I'm throwing a noon year's Eve party for Gigi's again but this year they gave me a budget so I'm actually making food.

I need to start taking the Xmas decorations down. I’m not one that likes them to linger. But I have no energy. Every spare min I get I use it to lay on the couch. The house has gone to shit. 🤷🏻♀️ We actually have a party to go to tonight but I know it’s going to go to at least mid night. I told H I’m not going... I’m going to instead... lay on the couch lol.

Busy morning for us! We went to the library to return some books and I let L pick a Thomas movie. After that, we went to the grocery store to pick up L's prescription. Wasn't that so so exciting? LOL I don't take Christmas decorations down until my birthday. FFSC: Christmas cards don't come down at all! LOL I leave them up all year because so many are pictures.

I don't plan to take my decorations down for at least another week because #1 we have a friend's Christmas dinner on the 6th and we're hosting and #2 our house will be empty and boring once I take the tree and mantle down. I need to start buying everyday decor but I'm don't know what I want to do yet.

MH decided to clean out the pantry. It’s great and all but, he keeps stopping to watch football.
Shall we place bets on whether there’s still shit all over my kitchen floor at bedtime?

tgrimes that floor is giving me anxiety! I can’t wait to get my Christmas stuff put away. Our house is tiny, and we don’t take any furniture out to put up the tree so our living room is uncomfortably stuffed. We have one more day at the ILs, then to visit my BFF in CT before heading back home. I can’t wait to be warm. Their house was 60* when we got up his morning. It’s at least up to 66* now.

My Christmas decor is already down. But if DH wasn't leaving it wohld be up for another week or so. I found a babysitter today. I'm so releived. She seems like a perfect fit. She's older (her kids are grown), super friendly, tons of experience, no other commitments, and open to long term.

I can't believe tomorrow is NYE. I don't think I mentioned it yet but we are having a party here at our house so that means cleaning and getting ready for the next couple days. I also need to figure out food. People are bringing dishes to pass but we like to have a main dish so we're not just eating dip all night.
Anyone have good ideas? H was thinking crock pot Italian beef sandwiches or sliders of some sort. I would do tacos but we did that last time people came over. I don't know why I act like it's not ok to do it again since people love it.

Hi hello
My house is empty of guests for about 36 hours so I’m enjoying the quiet and planning on how to not have anyone here for Christmas next year. It...did not go well.
A high school friend of h’s is stopping by tomorrow and staying over the night on his way down to NC so we have to rearrange our plans a bit, but oh well.
Can someone PLEASE have a nice strong drink for me?

goldenlove H and I always make little lobster tails NYE, but since his friend is coming and I’m sick of spending $$$ I’m trying to think of more stuff. So far I’ve added my jalapeño poppers to the list and those crock pot meatballs. I’m blanking on what else to do.

So glad you found someone danib! Enjoy hay quiet house while it lasts sophiegrace! No big plans today which is fine since L decided shes potty training herself again. So far so good and she even asked and went at church. Of course I can’t help with any of it. I need to meal plan and clean the house today, but that’s about all.

Hi. I’m just hanging. I went to the grocery store today. That’s all I’ve done. H has to work until 5 tomorrow but I got all our food for tomorrow night. We are doing heavy apps since I didn’t want to be cooking all night as soon as he gets home. We’re having rye bowl/dip, mozzarella sticks, potato skins, charcuterie board, stuffed jalapeños (homemade), and buffalo chicken wing dip. I think that’s all. Clearly we have a love for cheese.
Diet starts Wednesday 😬

Oh I forgot to tell you. B has been doing really well with eating pizza. If we order pizza he can eat it and doesn’t really break out in hives anymore. So last night, we decided to make homemade dough and homemade pizzas. The kids split one. B devoured it and didn’t break out. This morning I went to get him and he had puked all in his bed and all over himself. It was all the pizza. I felt so bad because I had no idea. He never came and got me. He just laid in it. So, no pizza for a while I guess. Not sure why that would have made him sick but others don’t.

A high school friend of h’s is stopping by tomorrow and staying over the night on his way down to NC so we have to rearrange our plans a bit, but oh well. Can someone PLEASE have a nice strong drink for me? I will! What happened? My mom showed up two days early without notice and just comments on every little thing. I heard “you should...”, “why don’t you...”, “I do....”, and every other variation as a response to every single thing I did or said. And so much mess. So much. My sister showed up Christmas Eve with her untrained puppy and ancient lab. No plans for containment. Immediately put our big guys away because the puppy went after the dachshunds and the big dog tried to rip his face off. Dachshunds are terrified. So much noise. So much nonsense. Sister stays glued to her phone texting the entire time. Mom is making asshole sarcastic remarks about I need to just accept that this is how it is when family gets together. Dogs are going everywhere the dogs aren’t allowed...M is allergic to dog saliva. Hives ensue. Still barking and chasing and mayhem. Lab can barely walk and doesn’t know where she is so is walking circles around the house tripping and falling. My sister is still refusing to do anything with them. I have multiple crates and entire rooms with dog beds they can go. Nope. M started acting like Satan. Had to scold her a bit, she starting bawling, I started bawling. It was our last Christmas with just her and I couldn’t even enjoy it. Instead I’m trying to clean up after dogs that aren’t mine and listening to nonstop barking. Cleaning up after all of them so that Mia doesn’t keep breaking out. Didn’t get to enjoy any of the food we got because the lab jumped up and got what was left and I wasn’t “allowed” to touch the plate made for my BIL even though he wasn’t even there. Went to bed absolutely miserable. Woke up Christmas morning and it was more of the same so I finally just snapped. Put her dogs away myself with treats and beds myself. My mom stopped talking to me. And we opened presents in peace and quiet. My sister was annoyed so she took her dogs home before Christmas dinner was made. We still got our family pajama picture though because of that because the big dogs were finally allowed out. I just wanted more time to sit, relax, and soak it all in. I’m sure I’m just being dramatic and hormonal though.

I wonder if the pizza places use frozen cheese. Im finding that things that are frozen then cooked have less of a chance of giving M a reaction. Like frozen mini pancakes are fine, fresh made ones are not. No idea. I’m so sick of this.

He can eat his weight in frozen pancakes, French toast, frozen pizza, but not anything fresh. Has M had pizza from a restaurant? Or delivery?
