Well, it’s wedding week so today starts a busy week for me.
Tonight I’m meeting the bride and he future SIL at the dress place for her last fitting so I can see how to do the bustle. The rehearsal is Thursday, rehearsal dinner is Friday, the girls are getting their nails done Friday but since I can’t get a sitter, I’m going Thursday morning. In between all that, I have to run to the bank, shop for a 1 year olds birthday, pack a ton of shit, get bottles thawed and ready to go, and lose 10 lbs. Oh and make lists for my H, MIL, and mother who are all watching the kids because no one can remember anything about what to feed my kids, when to give J a bottle, bedtimes, etc.

Sounds like a busy week waitwhat! Booze is always a great thing to look forward to! I'm at work and have been productive so far. My boss is on vacation this week, so I'm hoping to get a few big projects done so she can see how amazing I am when she's back next week. I'm hoping to get invites ordered this week for L's party. I also need to find accessories to go with the dress I ordered for her 1yr photos. It's super cute and can't wait for her session!

I've spent the day crafting. So far I have 3 wreaths and 4 little centerpiece things. DH is gone with the boys to let me do this without interruption so it's been fun.

That was my problem, too. M will have way more than H but it's not like he'll know the difference. He'll probably play with the wrapping paper more than the toys...

I can’t even believe some of you have xmas gifts bought. I haven’t even done one single thing for J’s birthday because I’ve been so consumed with this GD wedding. I had all these plans; a theme, chili bar, cute decor ideas, and now I’m thinking I’m just gonna re-use the decor from B’s first birthday, throw some pizza in my guests faces and call it a day.
MOTY ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yesterday I tried doing paint handprints with M to turn into pumpkins and send to family. By the end of it there were zero orange hand prints, one of us was crying, the other drinking, and there was paint everywhere.
DC providers are obviously magical fairies always getting those amazing seasonal projects sent home.

Omg, seriously with the Christmas presents?!?! We've at least had a birthday gift bought for some time, but clearly I am way behind. Time to do some research.... But really, share with the class tgrimes, sophiegrace, danib! Actually, we need a separate thread!

Hi.
I'm just sitting here being a bundle of nerves. I have my interview first thing tomorrow and then I will be car shopping. I took my car in to the shop this morning and they called and told me it's going to be like $1700 worth of parts to fix what's going on with it. Well, the trade in value is only $1500 so looks like her time has come. I'm sad but moreso just stressed out because this is yet another thing to add to my heaping pile of shit to do.

@jubiliantsquirrel sorry to call you out, but I saw your post on the Vegas thread and am 13 pages behind. How's your SIL? Thank you, I just updated in the weekend thread. But my SIL was seen and had surgery and is in recovery. My BIL is still waiting to talk to someone so that's all the information we have right now. It's all so devastating. I just can't even imagine what she went/is currently going through.

Hi! Thanks for thinking of me, we're good, just trying to keep busy while my H is gone. B had school this morning and I was trying to use the (relative) break to get some 'housekeeping' tasks done.

I still haven't even thought about birthday presents yet, so you can forget about Christmas presents. I'm jealous of everyone who is already on top of all that!

Miracle of miracles! We actually had two nights in a row of good sleep! 🎉 Crossing fingers this means we turned the corner...until the next few teeth decide to make an appearance anyway.

Omg no to Christmas presents. How can you return or exchange stuff if bought this early?! (I guess it doesn't matter for little ones though). I did ask j what he wanted Santa to bring him last night..which I'm sure will change multiple times. I am trying to pin down a Halloween costume decision.
