Ah yes the holidays are coming. Thanksgiving is one of my favorites so I don’t decorate for Christmas until the day after. I feel like if I don’t wait, I am skipping it. I’m weird.
I’m hosting Christmas Eve which I am existed about.

I am not digging this freezing cold so early in the season. Why?!!!! It is unseasonably cold already. I don’t think we have a high except for Sunday above 40 for the next week. We had our first couple of inches of snow fall too last night.

High is 12F here today. I have to walk a half mile across campus in the morning and I'm struggling to get over a gastro bug. Woohoo!

jessijean, I lasted about 3 weeks (or maybe less?) on the minipill, it was terrible for me. DH got a vasectomy so we are all straight now. Def no more kids for us! Also just got over a tough bug. It was the stomach virus that wouldn't quit. Like, we thought it was all done and then one of the kids or another starting puking again in the middle of the night. We immediately followed it with some sort of diabolical head cold that included body aches and fever and malaise. (not the flu though, it was short-lived-but seemed like an eternity) Not waking super early here but suffering from restless nights with both the kids. One day. One day we will sleep. Although I'll probably be hitting menopause once the kids start sleeping and if I end up like my mother, I won't sleep then either! LOL, hopefully it doesn't actually turn out that way. I do have some fun social stuff this weekend. Two, count em, two, ladies' night bonfires with different groups of friends. And a makeup party. And lunch with my mom and sister. And I'm back to exercising now that we're not all sick. Short workouts, but something is better than nothing. I'm doing another marathon in December so I better be running at least a little bit!

marygracerich sounds like my kid. He spoils me like 2 days with 6:15 and the hello 5am again. I think I have to except he’s an early riser. 😩

Thanks guys. She is better now but she stayed home from school almost all of last week. Now the baby is sick. He is so clingy and a little miserable.
He will be better in a day or two.

Since the baby has been sick, he has been sleeping until after 6:30 every day. Too bad I have to get up with G every day by 6.

Popping in to say Happy Thanksgiving! marygracerich, we have a low-key long weekend. We are going to my parents' tomorrow for a turkey dinner and other than that, just hanging out at home and getting the place cleaned up and probably some decorating. I'm very happy to have a few days to get myself together!

easternshoregirl low key sounds nice. My plans should be low key but aren’t. I am going to my dads which is normally fun. But it’s the first major holiday without my grandmother and my stepmoms dad. We will be a smaller group which will make those that are missing more obvious. Having the littles at my dads is sometimes hard too. They are super careful with their stuff and their house was recently renovated so I worry about the kids damaging things the whole time I’m there.

Sorry I've been absent. Things got a bit crazy over here. On top of general life, DS1 started hockey so I feel like we are constantly at the rink. Thanksgiving was pretty low key. DS1 was diagnosed with a ruptured eardrum this morning. Will cold season be over already?? I have an anxiety check-up this week. I doubt she changes anything but my body better have a better period this month or I'll likely make her change. I was down for 3 days last month.

marygracerich, how did Thanksgiving go? jessijean, hope the period goes better. I know this will sound super crazy weirdo but I have been doing intermittent fasting and it is totally doing something good for my hormonal BS. I wasn't aiming for that (just trying to keep weight steady while still consuming anything/everything I want!) but it was a welcomed side effect. Just in case you are looking for other ideas to try...I have my own little history of anxiety so I know (part of) the road you are on! Feel free to ignore this. I have no idea how our household will handle going back to school/work tomorrow. 3 extra days off was so so nice. 15 work/school days until Christmas break! I'm going to keep telling myself that. I may institute a real countdown on my calendar, which I try not to do because it seems so negative for me but I feel like I might need it!

easternshoregirl Thanksgiving went better than expected. We had a good time. My stepmoms mom didn’t show up which made her mad but it didn’t last. Thanks for asking. 😊
