I appreciate that. I'm also thinking of adding the home reno to the chaos...why not, right!? eeeeek. This is my plan for 2020...we'll buy our house and move, DH will deploy 2ish months later...he'll come home and it will all be beautiful! Right?! eta: re: nails, I am worthless at doing my own so I do gel manicures. Upside: last longer than a normal mani, and kind of add some thickness to your nail, so while you're in the brittle grow-out phase, they will help with that. That is how my sister finally broke her nail-biting habit, too. Downside: Expense, and I find that after 2 or 3 gel manicures in a row, I need to give my nails a break. You should try dip nails! |

tgrimes I’m so mad for you and feel so bad for H. That little guy needs a break. jewels I hope B feels better soon and doesn’t spread his illness to his bro. I’d ask S if he wants the other boy to come. cagoldi I’m glad X is doing so well!

I am breaking out so bad right around my lips right now and it hurts so much. I did not miss this. I took a super long nap, but it was so needed. We still need to go grocery shopping...which means I need to make a meal plan and list.

Ds had a really dry couch during the night. I was thinking maybe the air is to dry in his room? Any of you girls have experienced this and have seen it improved by using a humidifier?

Although it seems I cannot get my eating under control I have managed to stop biting my nails. It's gross, I know. So now to keep it up I'm painting my nails and it seems at though they are chipping by day 2/3 ish. Give me all your nail care steps, base coat and top coat. Tried any that you've noticed make a difference? I've tried no base coat, colour then Sally Hansen Gel top coat and it lasts about 4 days, I've just yesterday put on the Revlon base coat and am hoping that makes a difference. Give me all your nail care steps, base coat and top coat brands. Tried any that you've noticed make a difference? Go buy “essie gel couture”. It’s a color and top coat system. Kind of expensive but lasts so long on my nails. Everything else chips so fast. I've seen that, do you use a base coat at all? |

We still need to go grocery shopping...which means I need to make a meal plan and list. Since we are doing recommendations today...this is what my aesthetician uses. I love it so much, I bought some. It's not cheap, but so mousturizing.  |

And just like that, I am suddenly glad X is nowhere near ready to PT and happy to still be changing diapers.

Congrats Nam!! I have no words tgrimes 😤🤬 I hope all of the sick kids fee better soon. C was complaining of a sore throat tonight but then was a bit crazy so I have doubts. That’s awesome cagoldi! You’ve done an amazing job managing his needs and he’s killing it too. Hopefully you can catch a break soon clingy kids are rough. |

H's humidifier is on every night. It can't hurt to give it a shot. +1 for B. I don’t really know if it helps but I don’t think it can hurt |

MH meal planned this week and gave me the ingredient list. I shopped and bought said ingredients Asked him yesterday to send me the recipes so I can cook them. Nothing. Earlier today I emailed him asking what he wants and recipes. Nothing. He comes home..."so did you cook dinner?". Fend for yourself, H.

Trader Joe's has some wool pompom garlands and I texted a coworker asking if they go to the TJs to be on the lookout...and within 15 min my coworker is there having the staff locate apparently their last box that has been selling out. So he got 2 for me, but then my sis says she wants two (I had asked for one for each of us), so then I stopped there with K and got 2 more! I'm thinking I'll drape on the curtain rods in the kids room since it's pretty dull in there. They also have some cool washable paper wine bags that I picked up for hostess gifts.
Oh and they sell gluten free pie crusts!
And then got an email that K can officially start in February 🙌. So I think we will just figure out Jan and not worry about the in home daycare I found.

Good news about the daycare situation tallb, did you send a strongly-worded email (ha) or was this just a coincidence/you got lucky? |
