Dh finally left at 12:30. He will likely be back around noon tomorrow. I'm hoping this cough goes away enough for a nap. Max is thrilled to have me to himself. Which is nice because he hasn't always recognized me lately.

I met the boys at skating right after running group, then we hit up the grocery store after. We're home now but I had to feed them lunch so I'm waiting for naptime so I can shower and put something on other than dirty running clothes. Yuck.

I couldn't hide my disgust when passing by the ugly Christmas and Chanukah sweaters at Target and without really meaning to said, "Ew. Woof." One of the employees overheard me and shook her head then said, "I know, they're terrible." Yeah, I saw those the other day. I thought the whole point of "ugly sweater parties" and similar was to find a a legit tacky one--that someone bought and wore thinking it was attractive and looked really good. NOT to buy some mass-produced "ugly sweater" b/c it's ironic and trendy. KWIM?

Now it’s just stupid.

Finished baking the cupcakes. I accidentally bought dark brown cane sugar instead of white. It made the chocolate cupcakes a little crumbly, but they still taste good, so I won't be remaking them. I couldn't tell if the canned frosting was allergen free, so I'll be making my own.

I made pumpkin fudge over naptime, tomorrow will be pumpkin muffins. Because no single recipe requires a full can of pumpkin!

MH made a chicken pot pie and said it was amazing. I couldn't figure out why it tasted really weird until he told me it had pancake mix and cheese in it?? Gag.

I don't think this is weird. For Josie's party last week I made mh s gluten free "strata." I used gluten-free pancakes, turkey pepperoni, and pepper jack cheese. It was delicious

I made sweet potato soup and shrimp scampi-- it was perfect for this cold rainy night. Both kids are bathed, and should be in bed in the next 30 minutes. I'm looking forward to Christmas movies and a drink!

My poor L's rash is everywhere! And it's clearly super itchy. I feel so bad for her. Benedryl and a baking soda bath didn't do much. Any other tricks??

Makeup people: does anybody know anything about winky lux 24k glimmer balm? It's not expensive, but I'd rather not spend almost $20 on it, and then not use it.

Do baking soda baths and oatmeal baths do the same thing? Maybe Aveeno has a product that could help take the itch away. Eta: Maybe a call into the pediatrician? She might have something topical to prescribe.

I took her to urgent care today and they pretty much said to just let it run its course.

I certainly hope so, @wine, because I gave Charlie Motrin to take his fever down and a half a dose of the Benadryl to help with his runny nose and coughing.

Had a frosting emergency when mine split and just melted all over. Ran to the store where I texted my brother frosting ingredient lists to make sure the brand would work. Cupcakes are now frosted and for lack of a better description, look like a unicorn pooped on them. Then I let Cadence do sprinkles. 🌈🌈🌈🌈

Got everything for the boys December 1st box. And for my mom's birthday dinner/cake. I had Starbucks and shopped peacefully. It was glorious.
