Morning guster how was your night? Good! Charlie sleeps all night, he just wakes up early. I really shouldn't complain because he goes to bed super early, so of course he wakes up early, but I would just like to make it to my second alarm at one point.

Everybody is doing a lot better today, it didn’t translate into the kids sleeping better, but hopefully tonight. Fwp? I got ds winter coat in the mail today, it’s a gorgeous deep burgundy red...with soft pink lining and fushia zipper tags 😕. If it was a cheap/second hand one I wouldn’t have cared, but is was a really expensive coat. The winter suit I ordered will fit him when he’s 6/7 😂😂😂. Guess I have some returning to do...

Were you able to celebrate last night? That coat sounds nice. I have to get Josie a new winter coat, I put hers on yesterday and I knew it was a teensy bit too small, but with a heavier sweatshirt on she couldn't move her arms comfortably. I hope today is not too cold because she's going to preschool in a fleece.

I got mom guilt very badly because ds expressed that he loved his gift, but is wasn’t the one he meant, which I knew beforehand, but I got a more multifunctional store/play stand that will last longer. ETA the coat is amazing, I’m just in doubt about the colour for him. The wool collar is detachable. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XH5GF1Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_69?ie=UTF8&qid=1512565322&sr=8-69&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=helly%2Bhansen%2Bkids&th=1&psc=1

Morning! snoopmommymom I hope O had a good night and is doing better. Good luck with the visitor today at school! nam2013 That is a nice looking jacket--when I look closely I notice the pinkish lining on the collar but I probably would have assumed it was a boys jacket, as well. Oops! Hope you can find something else. Kids are eating waffles before we head to preschool. B has sports today--yessssssss, an extra hour for me--and my goals are low: shower and fold/put away laundry. It's rainy and getting chillier by the hour here today as a front comes through, we may get snow flurries this weekend (eek).

@nam, From the picture you can't tell if the color is pink. Maybe keep it for DD?

GM! I was sitting here making a list of all the packages I am expecting and realizing how angry I am that I have 2 items, ordered last week, that haven’t even freakin shipped yet! FWP, I know.
So the other thing on my mind is that my mh is being informally recruited at the moment. He is interested in the job and hopes it will turn into a real interview/offer. The downside is that if he leaves his current job, we can no longer use the DC. I really don’t want to move my kids and am getting feels about it. We’re touring a DC today. Obv I’m jumping far ahead but if things start moving, I need to make sure we have care for them and we’re not stuck on a waitlist.

nam2013 When we saw Santa last night, Evie told Santa she wanted a Baby Alive. I did not, nor do I plan on, buying her a Baby Alive, because she already has one she doesn't play with. Part of me feels bad, it's the only thing she is asking for, but she is getting so much other stuff, I just don't want to cave and get it for her. yummeecookee I get so much anxiety over the idea of changing daycares. When you know the kids are well taken care of and in a place they enjoy, it's hard to consider moving them. I had a voice mail from one of the recruiters I previously spoke with regarding a new job they have. She sent me the description and it's a good combination of my last few jobs, rolled into one. I told her I was interested, so we will see if anything becomes of it. I've never worked with a recruiter, so I don't know how the process works, just that she can't share the company name with me until they express interest in me.

mwhip I cave too often... hence why I currently have a store, a workbench, pippi doll house, wooden stable and kitchen in my living room. Stick to your guns!

mwhip, B asked Santa for a Barbie house. I have no idea why- she has never mentioned it before and doesn’t ever play w the barbies she has. (Plus some of you might remember she has that ridiculously huge frozen castle). So I’m really not inclined to get her a Barbie house. I hope she forgets about it.... And I hope the recruiter’s lead turns into something good for you!

yummeecookee I get the shipment rage! The other thing is tough. I’m like you, I like to know all the options/arrange a back up plan, even if a situation is up in the air.

It is crazy the idea these kids get for presents. But I'm also just happy Evie would actually talk to santa this year instead of crying. It's the little things!

If my hypothetical daughter asked for one, I'd go buy it that second just so I could play with it lol. My cousin had one but she was a mean child and wouldn't let me play with it. ) :

Same. Stuff I ordered Black Friday/Cyber Monday took a week just to ship, and things I ordered last week are still waiting or I just got a notification in the last day or so.

C has been asking for stuff I know he won't play with as well. At least I convinced him that instead of a "remote control pincher bug that can pinch your chin and back", he should ask Santa for a remote control dinosaur! The dinosaur has been purchased.

Our gymnastics place as the most amazing dollhouse. Cadence already has a hand me down dollhouse that is fine, but she keeps asking for a new one.

My grandparents were like that with us. They kept toys in the walk-in closet in their guest bedroom, so we’d play in there. The best. M and H are going to have such good memories of your ILs. ETA: how big is a Barbie mall? That sounds...large. I had the Dream House (with semi-working elevator) and it was pretty large, and that was just a house.

If I normally do soy sauce and oatmeal it's always with scallion, most times, a runny egg, and a tiny drop of sesame oil.
