You know friends & fam are stalking your fb to see if you have had a baby yet when you keep getting notifications about people liking 2 month old posts.
Haha at least that's better than a bunch of calls and texts???
@42Butterflies my mom just called and cancelled our Christmas Eve festivities. She was also up puking all night apparently, and she never gets sick. She keeps saying that she's sure its only a 24 hr thing and she'll be fine for tomorrow. Fx that's all it is.
@megaroo64 have you heard from your mom? I hope she's alright!
Lol, @megsw85. I was just thinking last night how nice it was that M has no clue what's going on. I can leave shopping bags out, she might look in them, whatever. When I wrap it up and she tears it open tomorrow she won't even know she ever saw it. Next year I doubt I'll be so lucky. I'm going to have to become much sneakier.
@NaChelleBeck I always like the American Eagle jeans. I have a couple pairs of skinnys from there and they fit great. They were a little more than $30 regular price, but their jeans go on sale all the time.
Thanks to you girls for recommending Wickles Pickles. When you guys raved about it (I think I recall someone calling them "life changing") I knew it would be a perfect gift for one of our closest friends who loves pickles so I ordered them from Amazon. She is house sitting for us this week so I gave them to her before we left and this is the email she sent me at 12:21am today (we are New Yorkers so "Son" is a common greeting):
SON! I’m at your house and I decided to make a burger to put the “wickles” on. I actually heard music when I took the first bite… an R&B song. I’m not exaggerating. I’m going to curl up in the fetal position and go to sleep now. THANK YOU!
My mom has the flu. It is pretty bad. I went to the hospital to figure out what's what- she looks super rough. Christmas was supposed to be at her house tomorrow- well it's been moved to mine. So now I have to be Christmas ready by 9am tomorrow- no pressure. Oh and while I was running around filling prescriptions, I get a call from my H- Nora has reverted to NOT taking a bottle and is screaming. Super.
Oh- and I drop off the scripts at my moms to find my idiot brother kicking it on the couch watching sports center. I'm so furious with him, I can't even look at him. Fortunately my other siblings are stepping up- but I think we all want to kill that brother so Christmas will be interesting tomorrow.
Ok- now I'm going to go back and read all the words I missed.

That was me! Glad to know I converted another pickle lover
Thank you for inspiring this awesome Christmas gift for my friend! She's so awesome and always there when we need her that I really wanted to be able to give her something she would love. I'm so happy Wickles made her happy.
My parents have arrived. I'm so sad that A is sick because they were really looking forward to seeing her now that she's been full on walking, running around etc. she stayed awake to see them arrive and had a meltdown bc she needed a nap. She said "ow" bc she kept coughing and fell asleep. My poor baby! This is our first Christmas Eve in our house in over 10 yrs. tomorrow we drop them off at airport and then the traveling begins.
We have been setting up for hosting Christmas at my ILs all day. I've been stuck in the house and DH has been out running errands. Finally We are getting out together tonight. We are going to friends' house for dinner and drinks without the baby. I'm really looking forward to it!
We just got home from my ILs and now I have to pull off a Christmas miracle and get my house ready to host my family tomorrow. I feel like I have to exceed all expectations- my mom is in the process of moving, and this was going to be her last Christmas in her house. Now with her sick- that won't happen and she won't even be with us. My sister is losing it because it isn't the Christmas she was excited about and my two older brothers are ready to kill my younger brother for his antics this morning. Oh- and I wasn't planning on having company of any sort in our house- so it is a train wreck disaster that H and I need to fix tonight. And cook food... For a crowd. And I legitimately thought I was ahead of the game when I woke up this morning.
@megaroo64 Did I miss a mom update? How's she doing?
@Cricket81 - thanks so much for asking! She's alright. She apparently got a pretty nasty strand of the flu and she was very dehydrated. She is home now resting. I know she is really bummed to have to sit out for Christmas though. And I feel bad- but I don't want her around Nora. Or Bennett. Or me really
Thanks @stargazer763 ! I am stuck nursing Nora right now- but I think I can hear H readying the house downstairs. Fingers crossed that is what he is doing at least...
@huckleberry08 - thank you! My two brothers are bringing some stuff, and I took the food from my moms house that she was going to make. So I have a ham! And I am making balsamic pulled pork- cause it is in the crock pot. Everything else is brunch stuff. I was planning on making breakfast for H, Bennett and I anyway- so I'm basically tripling it to accommodate the others. As long as Nora gives me a decent sleep stretch (which she usually does) we should be able to pull this off
I'm struggling so hard seeing all these pics on FB of families together for Christmas. I freaking miss my hubby so much. Deployments over major holidays can suck a big fat one! These next 5ish weeks can't go by quick enough.
The food is put away, the kitchen is clean and all the presents are under the tree. Now I just have to cross my fingers that our dog doesn't eat the Little People in the middle of the night.
Thanks for the love ladies. We will def be face timing tom while kids open gifts. I don't have anything big planned for his homecoming yet, but once I get an exact date will def be getting something planned.
@WasNotWas yes!!! I got your gift today and cried. Thank you so much for thinking of us. I meant to come here earlier to thank you but wasn't sure if you were lurking and would see it.
Merry Christmas everyone! We made it to my parent and one by one are being stuck down by the tummy bug. Hoping it stops with DH. Kinda feeling sad we're not at home with all of P's presents to see him wake up on Christmas day. (Didn't want to travel 9 hours with all the gifts. Nor did we have room) I think future Christmas' will be celebrated at home.
@riansmommie Do you still have family with you? Glad you'll get to FaceTime! It's the best! Hope everyone feels better and everything will pull together for everyone!
@pkp2 yes my in laws are still here and in thankful for that. Just missing having the hubby here. This deployment is flying by thankfully, just getting to the point where I'm ready for it to be over.
Re: SPAM-ta Claus is Coming to Town!
Have you gotten in touch with your mom?
SON!
I’m at your house and I decided to make a burger to put the “wickles” on. I actually heard music when I took the first bite… an R&B song. I’m not exaggerating. I’m going to curl up in the fetal position and go to sleep now.
THANK YOU!

my read shelf:
And Santa came! I can't wait to see the look on G and M's face in the morning!!
I'm off to bed though. The kiddos went to bed way earlier than I thought they would so I'm sure they'll be up early!
I hope everyone has a great Christmas!
