Morning ladies! Arrived at my destination. Now off to my first toddler-less nap ever. I do miss her, but damn...the whole bed just for me? Gangway, coming through!

ETA 2.0: Make thread, add stupid title edit, edit becomes obsolete, stick edit in text. Never mind.

Starfish that bed, @amparo1981‌

Why were my 2 oldest up at 4 am?

Only on the weekends. When it's a school day I have to drag them out of bed at 7.

This must be the school-aged version of the toddler trick of waking early only on mom's days off.

I was all confused because I didn't see another spam thread and got worried But now I get it.
DH got up and woke me. Now I'm waiting for E to wake so can't sleep. Sleep is overrated anyway.

Happy saturday!

I realized I made a stupid mistake when I ordered my Christmas cards yesterday. I have a black background and I never changed the font to white so our names are not going to show up on the front. I kept saying why are the names not showing and when I clicked edit they were there so I thought maybe it is just not showing on the preview. Maybe I get lucky and the person at Walgreens changes it, but I doubt it because I got the ready email super fast. Anyway, they were $17. I can just write our names on the back right?

I think I am just too stressed out lately and have been making dumb mistakes on things.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday!

@new2011mommy‌ no good, no good at all. Sorry!

It's not my LO that has been getting me up but my 5 year old 5:45 demanding I get up and get breakfast. This is starting to be a habit. It's really frustrating, because I know he's still tired. Ugh

new2011mommy

@cshum24‌ thank you! I will try that. Worse case I just do not send them. DH said to just reorder, but I do not know if I want to spend double.

Couple of wake ups here again but I think everyone is on the mend. We are going to a Santa breakfast for dh work this morning so we need to get up and get ready. We're going to do some shopping afterward and then an afternoon at home!

Morning. I have never been so glad to see Saturday. Never.
Alex is being weird this morning. Not himself at all.

@biggunsbo‌ I have the confirmation that the photo cards are ready so it is too late. Oh well. I will never make this mistake again!

Good morning ladies,

Happy Saturday!

I was having some complications yesterday. My OB was concerned and fit me in for an appointment. I got to see our little baby with a strong heart beat! Definitely one of the best feelings ever. Hopefully my pgAL brain can relax now.

@NewMommy2011‌ At least you ordered cards. I like the silver sharpie idea. I think our friends and family will be getting generic cards with a pic inside since I'm running out of time and energy.

Haddy woke up early! I just got some muffins out of the oven and now he's throwing balls at me :-w

My SO is out hunting, but rest assured @Mamasighs‌ he doesn't have FB and he doesn't smile in any of his pictures anyway.

As soon as my SO gets home, I'm venturing out to have my eyebrows done and then I have to get back home to get ready for this evenings festivities!

Now Haddock is bringing me shoes. He always matches them correctly, my little fashionista :x

@anr02 I'm glad everything was ok!

Hope everyone has a lovely Saturday!

@lwrightenator‌ so sad for your friend.

Oliver just woke up. I've been reading in bed for almost an hour. I almost feel guilty, but considering I spend every weekend and evening with him while DH is at work I just can't. We will prob ride out illness today in front of the tv. I need to do Christmas stuff, but I don't see it happening today.

Em hasn't taken a morning nap in months. She just fell asleep in my lap. I'm enjoying snuggles and hoping she's not getting sick

Me too! Snuggles are precious and sweet, unless they're sickness....at which point they become pity and panic-inducing as well as precious and sweet.

S - after climbing into the bed I was sharing with Alden:

"MAMA WAKE UP!"

2 minutes later: Wake up wake up wake up wake up!

4 minutes later: Wake UP, mama! I want to play with you.

Me: Mmm-what? Why don't you go wake up daddy?

S: Because Daddy really needs to sleep in.

Me: Do you think mama ever wants to sleep in?

S: Dumbfounded.

So I get up and get them going downstairs. We put on some music. S starts playing instruments and dancing, and then abruptly stops.

S: But mama, what if we wake up daddy?

Me: he'll be ok.

Probably makes me sound like a terrible partner, but I have woken up with the guys and snuck downstairs so he could sleep more than 100 times. I can count on my hands how many times you all have let me sleep in. Just spent about 45 minutes answering work e-mail and bumping, so I have exacted revenge.

Morning all!

We were gifted a morning of sleeping in this morning. Woke up an hour later than usual and LO was still fast asleep. Thank you St. Nick! DH ran out to DD to grab breakfast. We're currently eating breakfast and watching Sesame Street.

LO's not even in the same room...

[Deleted User]

We are watching Muppets Christmas Carol and DH and DS are both enjoying it! Also there's a girl on July '15 asking if mayo is ok during pregnancy and another claiming to have an immaculate pregnancy. Lots of entertainment for today!

DH you do NOT tell a 3 year old we will go get a Christmas tree and then decide to wait to tomorrow.

Dealing with fallout now.

Morning! Silas slept fairly well last night so my nervous breakdown is on hold for now. He's so considerate like that.

I passed my test to get into the OT Assistant program, so that's one less thing to stress about. I'm taking a class in the spring though, so now I have to find a daycare that will take Silas two days a week. Really hoping that's possible.

We are off to the library so Si can do some puzzles, he's obsessed! Happy Saturday!

I'm in bed while lo naps. I'm tired and trying To fight off the start of this yucky cold now.

On another note we need to try to move Eva's bedtime. Currently she goes to bed by 7. Sometimes as early as 640pm. But she won't sleep past 6 and since she's getting older ( it may be time to push bed time till 7:30. What do you girls think?

new2011mommy

Today just is not my day. I have a card from my dentist saying my appointment was at 9am today. Get to the dentist and they are closed. I will be calling on Monday!

Hopefully the rest of the day will be good. Our friends are coming over soon, we are going to order dinner, and go to the polar express.

Super weird. Tb , just changes my name to something I haven't used since, forever.

new2011mommy

@Clyde013‌ is she tired and ready for bed by 7? I know when my kids get overtired, they sleep worse. I say try 7:30 and see how she does. I would give it some time for her to adjust to the new time and worse case you can always switch back. My kids go to bed at 8 and sleep until 7-7:30, then DD takes a 2 hour nap so she is fine staying up until 8. Some days I can tell she is tired and then I put her to bed at 7:30 and she still sleeps until 7.

Picture of a picture, but here's the best we could do - DH was not prepared to be photographed today but L had other plans. How terrifying is this Grinch?!!

Guess who bought peppermint kisses for potential cookie making?  :-bd

I put them in the kids' stocking this morning so hopefully they will do double duty: stocking filler + cookie ingredient. I never remember to dole out the kids' candy so Hallowe'en candy is still in their baskets at St. Valentine's Day. I had to dump out a bunch of Easter candy so they had empty baskets for trick or treating. My boys are just so hyper that I seldom think, "Hey, now would be a good time to give them more sugar."

Today was DD's first St. Nicholas Day. She wasn't great at pulling things out of her stocking, but she is an expert at unwrapping candy!

My mom sabotages me like that all the time! On Tuesday she said to DS2, "Oh, I hear you're going on a train ride to see Santa on Saturday." SHUT UP!!! They are on a need to know basis and don't need to know about stuff d a y s before it will happen. Otherwise I'm going to be nagged about it all freaking week. So frustrating! 

Hope you can distract him with something else soon!

Fitbit faction! I want to join! DH gave me my Christmas gift early.

And now I'm walking around the house 8n circles and Zoe is following me..probably wondering what the hell I'm doing haha
