guster I can actually get on board with your oatmeal. Oatmeal isn't inherently sweet, so I could handle a savory version.

wedding that must be so heartbreaking to see the inequality and favoritism in your H's family. I can understand him not wanting to open that can of worms. Sometimes it's easier to try to move past the pain vs rehash it. But normally that only works when there is a change in behavior of the offending party. I hope his Mom starts communicating better.

wedding I'm angry for both of you. I can see not rehashing everything but I think the 4 of you need to have a CTJ with both of them that they need to communicate major medical issues in a timely manner. And to everyone!

wedding wow! Your IL’s need some lessons in communication! cagoldi super cute pic! I hope none of you big spenders that are tracking your deliveries had any packages on the 10 UPS trucks that went up in flames at a warehouse in MD! People have been talking about it at work. It was at a smaller “center” so most likely only had items bound for final destinations local to Frederick, Md. Shouldn’t be an issue for me and tallb, thankfully. Hopefully......

wedding yh story past is disappointing (family treatment) to hear but his present is amazing. Now that you and SIL have established both lack communication from MIL maybe you can notify each other when things happen and assume the other doesn't know.

busy day at work. MH and I had a 3hr conversation about spending and our upcoming 2018 budget discussion. I'm sick of being to only one looking for cheaper options and putting money into savings. But we seem to be on the same page about how to move forward so that was good. I also realized that the cash back on my credit card gets me more $ a year than my savings accounts.

Yo.
Normal and full day at work today. Yesterday I took off the afternoon for a follow up with B's pedi about his ears, apparently the ear drops did nothing so now he is on antibiotics. We started them last night so hopefully they start working quickly, poor guy is in so much pain.

You guys, just a vent: Charlie woke up at 5:30 this morning (which is slowly becoming the norm), and he skips a nap probably three days of the week (as is happening right now) My brain can't take it on days like this. From the moment I wake up I'm parenting, and I don't get it a break until MH gets in a little before 4. Then it's dinner, cleaning up, baths and a little family time and then bed. I do get some time to myself in those few hours, but at that point my brain is so fried that I'm useless. I'm all over the map on this.
He sleep somewhere between 11 and 12 hours every night, so I don't know if he's getting enough total sleep on those no nap days, plu I really hate waking up and immediately moving into taking care of someone else. A lot of times I stumble into his room, get him and bring him down to MH so I can spend five minutes upstairs getting dressed and brushing my teeth. He's such a good boy-- so sweet and happy-- when he's awake, but he hates sleep some days, and I'm tired of it.

Help me with some board games and card games. My mom said all she wants for christmas is for all of us to spend more time together (like it's possible LOL) But anyways, SIL and I are planning family dinner/game nights and am going to gift them a calendar with everything on it. So I thought I'd buy us some new games since all of ours are from my childhood and in rough shape. I've got Sorry, Yahtzoo, UNO, Phase 10, Skip bo and I'm blanking. What else?! I still have clue and monopoly in good shape. Maybe a trivia game?
