I just tried to put him down 10 minutes ago, and he's up and yelling for me already. I'm in a bad head space about this limited sleep stuff. I can lean into it on most days, but when we are extra busy, like we are today, it's too much for me. Do you have to stay for dance? Could you take C out to the car for a little drive and let him fall asleep then?

Morning, friends. B’s ear is finally feeling better, thank goodness. Since he was diagnosed with an outer ear infection it’s basically swimmers ear, I’ve been wracking my brain to try and figure out how it came to he and I think I figured it out last night. He’s been laying down in the tub! He thinks it’s neat and sounds cool, but I guess I wasn’t drying his ears enough. I’ve got to be more careful about that. Qtips are a no, right? Are the kids ones ok to get water out? Sometimes I use q-tips on H’s ears. I just stay in the entrance of the canal.

What ever happened with the company YH interviewed with out of state the other week? mwhip He sent them his work release form stating he can go back to work on the 18th (thank you sweet baby Jesus) and hasn't heard back from them. He isn't the most proactive person.For example, they told him they would reimburse him for the mileage since we drove down, and they would have paid for his plane ticket. He met with them 2 1/2 weeks ago and he still hasn't followed up about being reimbursed. I do think he will accept the position when it is offered. He just isn't worried about it since he has a job. A is the same way. Drives me nuts.

Are you going to try the Christmas tree frapp? I was going to ask you the same thing trtlcrzyI’m not sure. I love peppermint mocha, but I don’t know about matcha whipped cream. I don’t know what it tastes like, and I don’t like tea.

Morning! I apparently have a lot to say today. Last night S woke up at like 11 crying off and on. It wasn’t a regular wake up because she wasn’t standing up. I thought it had something to do with her 2 year molars (I noticed the first one has started to come in yesterday) so I gave her some Motrin and put her back to bed. She woke up again at some point and DH brought her into our bed. She felt warm, sure enough she has a fever. Not sure what it could be this time. She seems to be in a good mood. This morning we need to run to the grocery store because I signed up to bring lemonade to preschool. Then this afternoon is H’s Christmas program. DH can’t get off work so he will miss it, but MIL & FIL are going to come. The only bummer thing is it will cut into S’s naptime so I’m going to try and get her to take a nap at like 10:30.

Work day for me. We got our tree yesterday and will put it up in the next couple days. C has been asking for a star for the top. I've always been kinda anti tree topper, but I'll be going out to get out today. The things we do for our kids! Target has cool ones that project on the ceiling! I thought they would be super expensive but they were only like $15. UO Thursday right? Those projectors are awful! I dislike them very much.

I buy it more for the novelty of it than anything else (i'm such a sucker for it), but I'm not really a big fan of Frapuccinos, and I think this one might have coffee in it, so I can't even share of the few sips that I will take with Josie. All of that said, it'll probably be on my Snapchat by tomorrow afternoon. 🤷🏻♀️

We need it, you aren't working!!! But I just sit back silently and go about my business.

Even the projectors outside? What about inflatables? I had two friends text me about our outdoor decorations last night, one asked if we were drinking when we put everything out, the other said we are 'Christmas AF.' Made me laugh.

Could you take C out to the car for a little drive and let him fall asleep then? I do have to stay, but not in the waiting room. I usually bring him to the karate studio next-door ( my family owns it) and I let him run around like crazy. I miss watching Josie dance, though.

I don’t like the outside ones people put on their houses, but these are cool. It just looks like the lights are reflecting off the ceiling. (Image from google)

Why can't we just have nice things?

We need it, you aren't working!!! But I just sit back silently and go about my business. Yup. A was supposed to call about his raise now that he's no longer a foreman in training. That was a month ago.. He keeps saying "well they'll back pay me" So...? CALL!

I love everything that is Christmas AF but the projector on your ceiling, no. It looks like a rave inside your house on a regular Tuesday...no thanks. ESPECIALLY when they aren't even Christmas colours, terrible.

When I met MH his Christmas tree had a Jigglypuff from Pokémon on top of it. I shut that down pretty quickly.

We have a pig in the tree that lights up, icicles hanging from said tree, the light projector on the outside of the house, a 12' santa clause and an archway with mistletoe and mice kissing inflatables, and a small leg lamp in the window.

H just told me “I’m very sick because I ate snow”. I don’t think she ate any snow, but I took her temp anyways and sure enough she has a fever too. I’m dosing her with Motrin and bringing her to school. I don’t want her to miss her program.

Let's just say we would have fire drills when we were at school when it snowed. The last time I remember snow I was at my work Christmas party and based on the dress I was wearing it was 9 years ago or so?

joelies, where are you? I need some cookie advice from the Christmas cookie queen. I'm just really bad at cookie dough -- it's almost always the wrong consistency and then it doesn't chill well and therefore won't roll well. Any helpful hints. I want to really get good at two kinds of cookies.

It never sticks here. I just hate cold weather. Dealing with it in college was bad enough and then I lived in Little Rock where the ice was horrible. I vowed never to live further north the Houston again. lol.
