Successes/Celebrations: Successfully delivered all of my co-workers hand made gifts. Success that I had time to get this done. And I gave myself a Christmas yesterday and paid for our house to be cleaned! And I love it!!

Challenges: I need to sleep training DS2, but I am being a weeny...I will try do over winter break

Me Time/Family Time: Never! Poor DH works 6 days this week, but he gets off 3 days in a row next week! (YEA) But this means that I am on my own all weekend, so know me time, plenty of family time (minus DH) 

Weekend Plans:  Annual Christmas Light Run tonight with friends, then soup. it should be really fun. Then other than that, time at home.

Bonus Question: What does next week look like for you? Are you working normal hours? Off part (or all!) of next week? Traveling?  No work!  2 weeks off for winter break and I am pumped. Just wish it was colder out so it felt more like Christmas. But I am excited for the time off!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

@nebraska84, yay for winter break! You made it! Enjoy your time off

@paulheath, I hope LO sleeps for you in the car so you and DH can have a chance to catch up! I feel like all DH and I ever talk about anymore is diapers, formula, sleep training, teething, what the contents of DD's diapers look like...lol. I also completely understand how you feel about being so behind at home. When I'm working, I feel like I can never have both work and home life under control. 

@anji1820, yay for break! I hope DD feels better so you and DH can get a chance to go out. Christmas Tree Lane sounds really fun!  Also, did I miss your BFP?? Congratulations! How are you feeling?

@anji1820‌ yes, I'm at a year round school. I went on break the day before Thanksgiving and go back January 5. This is my longest break all year and I am loving it! Glad you are feeling well, but I remember that early pregnancy exhaustion all too well! At least you have a couple of weeks now to try to take it easy a bit!

Guys, I really need winter break right now. Everything but my students is driving me crazy. I'm worried this two week break isn't going to be enough to recharge.

((hugs)) @iwubrory. I know that feeling well. I hope you get some time over the next couple of weeks to relax and take it easy.

Successes/Celebrations:

I made it through the last push to get projects up to date for year end.

Challenges:

Its been difficult to stay focused because I'm so tired. Hoping no one has noticed the increase in pee breaks and yawns.

Me Time/Family Time:

We went to a christmas light show at a local park. I got my hair done this morning- that's the extent of my me time.

Weekend Plans:

Finish my shopping and wrap a pile of shit. My bathrooms all need a good scrubbing.

Bonus Question: What does next week look like for you? Are you working normal hours? Off part (or all!) of next week? Traveling?

I work Monday and Tuesday then off for the rest of the week. We will go to ILs Christmas Day. My parents will come to our house the day after.
