I'm prepping food for my BBM 7 day surge. I'm hoping to break 200# by xmas. After nap we are going ice skating with Santa Are you starting with the group tomorrow? I keep getting emails for it. I don't know if the surge will be a good kick start after the baby or if it will be too much and I should do 5.0 over again first then do the surge. Let me know how it goes. Yep. I was going to start last week but then she posted about the live one and decided to wait. The recipes are actually good looking and easy. I think the whole family will eat them.

Sunny41 kids your SDs age are hard, even harder when you're the step parent. I never treated my step parents with much respect til I was 18. So you can try all you want, but it likely won't make a difference. Not saying to give up, keep doing what you're doing, I'm sure she's noticing, but she's at the age where kids are just ungrateful shits. I agree with this. I lived with my dad and step mom full time from 7th grade until I graduated HS. I was so awful to her. Looking back I regret it but teenagers no1curr. We get along great now as adults though.

I made homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast. From scratch. With yeast, rising, kneading, etc. They were fucking good.
Does anyone say shit about them? Nope. The only comment is that we will be eating cinnamon rolls all week.
I think I'll take them to work for people who will appreciate them. I'm so over cooking.

M woke up this morning and wanted to finish watching The Santa Clause. They showed a scene with snow on the ground and she got up to look out the door. Then she comes to me in the kitchen in tears. Why you ask? Because it’s not snowing here anymore.
I told her to wait 10 years and it will happen again.

Morning! Not much here today. We are going Christmas shopping again, and then will probably meet my parents for lunch. Later we have to decorate the tree and I need to start doing some wrapping and sort out the things I need to ship.
So dh woke up this morning around 4:30 and heard a noise downstairs so he went to check it out. He found Lucas just chilling on the couch eating a bag of m&m’s he found in the pantry. Yeah, not ok kiddo, sorry.
Also I finally put on my maternity jeans today instead of my regular jeans with a belly band. I’m an idiot, why did I wait so long? They are so comfortable. And why aren’t all pants made with elastic bands??

I took both kids outside. Tough to get Charlie in all his gear and, of course, mh was like "maybe we should call it quits; it might be too difficult to do it this year." Dude, we'd do NOTHING if I maintained that philosophy. I'm so happy I stuck with it bc they had a blast! Charlie would have lasted longer but we only had knit mittens for him, so they got soggy pretty fast.

The cleaning ladies came yesterday, so I'm on cloud nine. They did my bathrooms, floors, and window seals/blinds. When she was done she wanted to charge me $40! I gave them $80, but still feel like that was on the cheaper end. I'm definitely making this a regular thing.
While they were here, M went to a birthday party at a horse stable and had blast. There was 20 horses and he got to ride "Spirit". Other than the horses, his favorite part was the candy from the piñata. MH said he dove for the candy when it broke. Lol.
Nothing but a Target run and making a gingerbread house on the agenda today.

Hi girls, it’s snowing here, but it’s already turning into slush. Took the kids out for a bit, ds loved the snow. After that we watched a movie with ‘snacks’, which is basically dinner cut up and arranged on one big plate. I cancelled a date with a friends because I don’t want to ride my bike, so quiet night in. hopefully they’ll have the roads de-iced by tomorrow.

I've been in bed all day with period cramps and a migraine. A and I have a date night tonight so I took one of my mom's headache pills. I need to do something about my migraines. They are getting worse.

Hi from the mall. We’re having lunch and then will hit up...I doubt I have to say it. C’s jacket fell out of my bag at the program on Friday and supposedly it’s there—somewhere—but DH went by the church morning and no one could locate it. I’m going back tmrw but we’re going to get her a new coat to have as a back-up.
- poof -

If you feel it necessary to say something, it’s best to wait until it’s just y’all together in the privacy of their own home or in a card you send to them or something.

That is kind of what I’m thinking. If I was in their shoes, personally wouldn’t want to discuss it at this point in a social situation, I don’t think. But I know everyone grieves differently. DH and I were talking after I posted here and I think he’s going to talk to his colleague and kind of feel him out on the subject (they’re friends, they’ve been talking about it...wouldn’t be out of the blue or anything).

Both boys were exhausted from playing in the snow, though we also had to call it quits early for Chase because his mittens weren't cutting it. I did a bit of hot cocoa in sippies when we came back in and you'd think I was made of magic. Now DH is heading to the bar soon and I'm hoping to get some alone time before the boys wake up from naps. All in all, it's been a pretty nice day.

I did not know that about lentils. The more you know. Me either. I don't think I've ever had lentils. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, tallb! Never hear that before either. We eat lots of lentils but I don't know how you could undercook them, really. They soften pretty quickly and don't need to be soaked, unlike most other legumes.

flamingo I wouldn't say anything. Especially at a party, if I were the parents, I can't imagine I'd feel anything good about discussing it in that setting unless I brought it up.
