Mh's family are list people. I appreciate that. Give me a list of a few things, I pick one, it's a surprise as to which you get but it's still something you want. Win win. This is how my family operates. My ILs do not agree. Also my siblings somehow didn’t make lists this year. Thus my lack of shopping progress. Rude!

My family did not do lists growing up so I always hated Christmas shopping until I had kids. It's a whole new world!

My principal called and offered me a long term sub. I can't figure out the childcare now that my inlaws watch sil's baby and I don't think the numbers would work out paying for a sitter. I feel slightly disappointed about this which I was not expecting. Boo.

Ever wonder what 4lbs of butter and 2lbs of cream cheese looks like? Today is Polish cookie baking for Christmas Eve at mh's cousins. I'm excited for some cookies...but my scale is not.

Omg Lakes, 😳 I'm on strict zoned in diet right now. I have to present an award in front of a few hundred people in January and don't feel like looking like a blimp doing it. No cookie baking happening here this year Thanks for the prayers for mom guys. I just hope this doesn't send her off the deep end. She's not a stable person and an alcoholic and since having C she's been SO GOOD about being on the wagon. Her best friend told me that little girl saved her life. I think it's true, and I hope she stays healthy enough to fight this. In happy news, we also got Santa pictures. I am in love with them! 😍😍

Those are amazing pibblemom! She looks so precious! And BIG. It's so weird to see a kid the same age because dd is such a peanut. We're seeing Santa tomorrow so hopefully I will get a good pic to post. I have adorable pics of dd by herself but one with Santa will be better for scale.

Hi. I've had a liter and a half of beer. Nothing like day drinking while seeing Santa at the beer garden.

I'm a zombie. No one slept. Ds is stuffy so maybe it was that. Maybe it was too much fun yesterday with seeing Santa etc. Maybe it was the super moon. Maybe the kids are trying to kill me.
Midnight: ds wakes up and wakes up dd 2am: dd wakes up 4:30: ds wakes up and doesn't go back to sleep, just flails around his bed and then our bed so we can't go back to sleep 5: Dd is up again 6: ds is still up and dd gets up for good
I feel like this is going to be the longest day ever.

Hi Strangers. I'm still dying at work and my kids haven;t been sleeping. Hope to catch up soon. pibblemom, I hope your mom's appointment goes well. I'll say a prayer that she is able to process the diagnosis in a healthy way.

Ugh sending good naptime wishes your way Lakes. I’m off today but sent DS to daycare so I could get a billion chores done. I made some salt dough and did some imprints of M’s feet to make ornaments for the grandma’s. I’m thinking I’ll do reindeer but forgot to poke any holes in them before baking. I did snowmen for DS’s first Christmas and love how they turned out.

*peeks head around the corner* Um, hello? Is anyone home? I used to go here... Sorry I've been MIA. Work has remained crazy and after the forum-hopping drama I realized that I was investing wayyyy too much time here. So I took an unplanned break, but I kinda miss getting updates on other babies N's age And I miss you ladies too.

Hey silvermelody! We're still here but a bit slower paced and lazy about starting new random threads.
