Ten Things

CNJ4EVA · December 2013

1. Can't wait to mail our Christmas cards.
2. I'm so sick of ziti, I've had enough.
3. Work is insane and they're not replacing the girl that quit. = (
4. I hope the board picks up soon.
5. I'm ready for 2014, LO is the only good thing that came out of 2013.
6. I love the area rug e just bought at Kohl's.
7. We're getting a real tree for the first time this year.
8. I need to buy LO more long sleeved onesies.
9. MIL is a pain in my ass.
10. I want to go away on vacation.

1. I can't believe how slow the board is.
2. We aren't getting Christmas pics done until Saturday, whoops.
3. My baby hates sleep.
4. My baby also hates bottles.
5. I'd like a vacation, the nut house will do.
6. I ordered about 75% of our Christmas gifts yesterday.
7. I still need to call the church to set up E's baptism (I'm terrible).
8. I'm glad that E loved sweet potatoes, she wouldn't touch oatmeal.
9. I want some snow! I'm in MN and we still don't have any!
10. I love Christmas but each year I become less festive because of time constraints and the stress of getting everything done. This makes me sad.

1. I'm hoping the board picks up now that Thanksgiving weekend is over...but I bet it will slow way down at Christmas.

2. I hate Kohl's. No wait, I love it. No wait, I hate it. Seriously, I can't stand their over inflated prices just so they can have gigantic sales. But I do love Kohl's cash. A conundrum I tell you.

3. I had to throw away all of our 3-6 month MAM pacifiers, so I wouldn't be tempted to use them in a pinch, since he can now fit the whole damn thing in his mouth.

4. I was going to use this as an opportunity to wean from the pacifier. In the middle of the night last night, I realized that was the craziest idea ever, and ordered more 6+ MAMs from Amazon.

5. Less than 2 weeks until we fly home! So excited! H is away until then, so I'm sure I will be ready for the extra help!

6. Today is G's (late) 6 month appointment. Ugh, shots. My stomach is already upside down thinking about it.

7. I am waiting for our Christmas pics so I can order cards. I know at least one of just G looks good, but I really wanted to use a family shot. But since we overslept and only had 15 minutes to get ready... lol. How do you oversleep with a baby???

8. G is sleeping on his side now, and for a few nights, it really helped limit the wakeups since he doesn't do that leg thump thing on his side. But last night, he started rolling to his stomach. There went the better sleep!

9. We bought a fake tree for the first time, since we're leaving for about 2 weeks, but then doing Christmas with the other side of the family here in early January. I didn't want a real tree to die, and I didn't want to decorate after we got back.

10. I am going nuts with Christmas outfits. I need to stop. But I want so many different pictures! lol.

1) DH took all of Thanksgiving week off so we could get some serious cleaning done around the house. We're hoping to list in January.

2) #1 is why I've been MIA from the bump.

3) Unfortunately I'm going to be MIA all this week too because I have continuing education classes all day tomorrow and Thursday for work.

4) Because the classes are in the town where our parents live which is 50 miles away and my mom is going to be watching Logan, we are spending the next two nights with them. Their house is tiny and loud so I'm predicting that it will be a long two days for all of us.

5) Every night from the Friday before Thanksgiving through the Saturday after Thanksgiving DH took the night shift for me. It was glorious to get some sleep! DH is the best!

6) No matter what I do Logan thinks 9 PM is nap time instead of bedtime. He wakes up after 30 minutes and won't go back to bed for 2-3 hours. Last night he didn't go to sleep until almost 1 AM. I have to go back to work in 6 weeks so I'm really hoping he gets his sleep sorted out by then.

7) My best friend who lives 1500 miles away came in town over Thanksgiving and I spent Sunday with her. It was great seeing her. I haven't seen her in 4 years and I probably won't see her for another 4 years.

8) DS is teething like crazy but no teeth in sight yet.

9) I really wanted to get DS into a good sleep routine and work with him more on solids (we're doing BLW) but we were so busy last week we didn't work on sleep at all and the only solids he had was on Thanksgiving. $:\$ ">

10) I'm really freaking out about going back to work. Jan 15th will be here before I know it!

1. So about 20 minutes ago my DD started crawling!!
2. She was drunk crawling for a few weeks but today she finally has it down and is moving both arms now.
3. Time to baby proof
4. The mid season finale of the walking dead made me cry

5. I can't wait until Christmas
6. My sister and brother in law plus my niece and nephew are coming down from Germany next week for the holidays, I'm so excited.
7. I need to work out.
8. I need to get Christmas gifts.
9. I need to get off my butt and clean instead of watching gossip girl and eating Christmas popcorn.
10. My husband got the job he interviewed for!!

1. I really should be working, but I've been off the bump for too long.

2. Our flights with LO were amazing. He's such a jet-setter. We lucked out and got seats on both flights, so we were able to bring his carseat on instead of gate checking.

3. I cried dropping him off at daycare this morning. He was in an exersaucer by the window and I watched him all the way to my car. The last 5 days with him were awesome.

4. LO went through a major sleep regression while traveling, though. Last night wasn't so bad so I'm hoping it was just while we were away.

5. My family decided not to do Christmas gifts for each other, just for LO. I'm happy about that, but at least need to get them gifts from him... since they're buying and we're not .I think I'll find a craft project he can do - maybe handprint ornaments or something.

6. My H's family, on the other hand, goes WAY overboard with gifts. It's annoying.

7. That said... I'm mentally prepping a holiday list for myself, so I have it ready when they ask.

8. I'm dreading the laundry and cleaning that needs to be done this week.

9. I wonder if I'll ever work out again.

10. My H made a reference to some 90s song this morning then started doing all sorts of 90s dances for LO - it was hilarious. I really wish I'd caught it on camera.

1) DH's job decided he had to go out of town Monday-Wednesday. He says he learns nothing on these trips and is just miserable because we had a ton of cleaning to do from having my family here for thanksgiving and his parents are coming on Friday. He also had to cancel his baseball lessons which is the other thing he likes to do plus are our Christmas present $$$.

2) I had a great idea for a Christmas gift that my SIL and I could do for their parents of our two boys. She said her mom wouldn't like the photo book and just wanted a simple framed picture. She then let it slip to DH that she is doing the photo book of just her baby.

3) SIL is back on my "getting coal for Christmas" list

4) I really wanted a DSLR camera for Christmas and had actually saved since last year and had a fixed budget. I thought I was going to have to get a cheaper model but I found a Black Friday sale and DH drove 65 miles to get my dream camera on budget

5) work is painfully boring and I wish this board would pick up or the BNB would get some more crazies

6) R had his 6 month appointment. He has learned what the doctors office is (he's been there way too many times) and we don't even make it to check in before the tears start.

7) He had a reaction to a shot ...of course

8) DH is getting on my nerves taking credit for my ideas for basically everything (must be hereditary)....things to do with his parents when they visit, gifts I get for others, food I make etc. I'm not that upset he's gone.

9) Speaking of DH being a jerk, my friends husband let it slip that the last time he went out with the guys he just bitched that "I order way too much shit online" followed up with "I'm annoying about always using coupons". So he's mad that I get all of the Christmas shopping done without going to the mall and save us a ton of money all of which he takes credit for.

10) I'm mad all over again.

1. My DH got me a beautiful bracelet for my birthday

it's very unlike him to get me a non-practical gift

2. I bought C new shoes today... I hope they fit

3. If I empty out a box of toys, C still chooses to play with an old pottery barn catalog...

4. Right now C is playing in an empty box.

5. I need a bubble bath tonight.

6. I have so much to do before Christmas.

7. Omg we are having another kid in like, three months

8. We hosted so many people for Thanksgiving... I'm still recovering

9. Over the holiday it was determined that we all hate SIL's bf... That makes Christmas so much easier

10. My favorite part of my birthday is cake. I love cake.
