C is in speech and I'm waiting outside. I'm not sure why she didn't want me in there this time but there was another kid as well. I don't mind.
If anyone wants Old Navy cash I have some that expires 12/5. Let me know. I have $50 and I think you can use $10 toward every $25 you spend.

Happy Friday! I'm just getting through the work day. I'm trying to plan out my menu for a Christmas/holiday party we are having tomorrow so I can grocery shop after work.

GM everyone. So in some weird twist of events, I’m the only one in HR today. This isn’t great considering I’m so #new here and I’m not even a generalist - I only cover benefits. I hope no one needs anything impt today!

Morning! Ds is sick (probably and EI), which because we’re celebrating Sinterklaas with my parents tonight and with my inlaws tomorrow... Hope he feels better soon. Currently at work dreading my tasks.
Do any of you get gift panic? I always get this a day or two before the actual effect, panic like feelings that my gifts aren’t good/fun enough. Which leads me a shopping frenzy and me buying things that are actually too expensive. Completely defying my carefully planned sale/deals type of shopping earlier on.

nam2013, I hope he feels better! Also, I get the gift panic. I always regret all my gifts when it's too late to return. I also get stuck on one thing, like we got the kids a stand mixer to go with their kitchen set because C loves to use our stand mixer. It's the Melissa and Doug wooden one, but now I'm spiraling on every toy stand mixer known to man because I worry he'll want one that actually turns on.

melaniesue, we are going to MH's company holiday party on Sunday and they'll have Santa there. I'm excited that the pictures will be free and we won't have to wait in a giant line! Plus, Santa gives the kids great gifts there. Last year C got a giant play dough kit and L got a big Paddington Bear stuffed animal and book.

wineallthetime exactly! So many options, I usually go for wooden toys (or quality stuff like duplo) but we now have a wooden cash register... I’m sure ds would love one with beeps etc.

We put up our Xmas tree last night and my kids were pretty much in a Xmas frenzy. Like they’re so pumped and excited. When I woke B up for school today, she was asking if she can open her presents! I was like sorry, 24 more days left.....

We put up our tree last night too. The kids have been begging to do it. I let them decorate and overall not too bad. Some empty spots and others where the decorations are all clumped in one spot. I'm enjoying these days though because I know they won't last.

I spend like 30 minutes wrapping each of their gifts so I don't have to hear the snide comments about the lines not lining up on a box or the corners not being square. I wish I was kidding. Thats for FIL, BIL and SIL. MIL, we wrap each of hers in packing tape after it's wrapped lol. She always over tapes things so DH likes to get even for all his childhood presents. She loves every second of it. Their relationship is what I aspire for with my boys. I love how A and his mom get along. He's definitely a moms boy but not in the creepy weird over protective ways.

Morning. I’m eating DD in my car in a random parking lot. I was driving to one of the schools i work at but there are police everywhere directing cars away from the school. Kids are all outside. I think there was a bomb threat but I’m not sure if this is a drill or for real.

And then put presents under it for me?"

C has been asking every day if it's almost Christmas yet. It's a long time to wait for a 4 year old! They're doing a Santa shop thing at school next week where we write a list of people he needs to buy a gift for and designate his budget. They shop, wrap the gifts and bring them home. I'm excited to see what he picks!

I had some of the best sleep last night. Even when E woke me up I just laid there and enjoyed how cozy I felt.

Oh my klong11, I just caught up on yesterday's thread. I'm glad your mom was able to think quickly so that she could get care and hope you get positive answers today. That's scary! I have no clue what my license plate number is, guess I should work on that.

Morning!
We also have a very eager little guy who is waiting on Christmas. MIL sent a gift for St Nicholas day and it’s the only thing under the tree so far, and it’s been such torture for B, lol.
Elfie arrived this morning with matching Christmas jammies for the kids and Home Alone on DVD. I need to make a list of 23 spots I can move him to around the house—I don’t think I’ll be able to get away with slacking this year 😜

I am so annoyed with H this morning. I have been for a few days, but today is BAD.
I have this Christmas thing with the girls from work today. This is a weird week and Evie was going to daycare today. Since I can't pick her up, I asked H a couple of days ago if I should ask one of our moms to pick her up. He begrudgingly said he would do it, like he's doing me a giant favor by taking his kid to daycare and picking her up. In the 3 years she has gone to daycare, this is the 3rd time he has taken/picked her up. I was trying to get her ready this morning and told her to put her jacket on, she said she didn't want to go. H said, yeah, I don't want to either.
You know what, keep your shitty remarks to yourself. My mood is really shit after multiple days of those shitty comments.

Good morning!
I’m excited it’s December because now I can officially just say “next month” when people ask me when the baby is due. It’s the little things. Frosty (our elf) put chocolate in the advent calendar this morning and also brought the boys a wrapped gift. It’s a gingerbread village set so we can do gingerbread houses this weekend. They were so excited.
Nothing much here today except the gym and I’ll probably hit some stores for Christmas shopping. I went to the gym yesterday and lifted like normal and my hips hurts so bad after, so I’m worried I may have to start backing off a little.

Cadence got to open Day 1 on the advent calendar this morning, then started pouting that she couldn't open ALL of them. I didn't want to tell her, look I only had time to fill the first 3, so most of them are empty. I explained to her that each day she gets to open 1 box, then when she gets to #25 she gets to open all the presents under the tree. That made her happy. She really liked her Mrs. Claus gift last night. Her favorite: marshmallow stir sticks for hot chocolate. They are only $1 at Target, I highly recommend them!
