1. I am watching Criminal Minds, I watched a TON of reruns while KU... but then got "over" it... giving it another try
2. My hands are so dry they are wrinkling but I am too lazy to walk over and get the lotion
3. I wish I had the $$ and time to really do up the house for the holidays, I am keeping my chin up about it by telling myself I'll be happier not spending the $$ until we have a place of our own
4. We MAY decide to play the sick kid card and hunker down on Christmas eve with some good Chinese food and our PJ's and that idea excites me
5. I really hope at least 5 other people play along and post some stuff too

2. I (on purpose) slept in yesterday because I had a late meeting at the office and didnt want to get up at 4am to beat rush hour traffic to get there for 7am (my usual start time).
3. I told my boss that I'm pregnant and she told her director yesterday. She needs to tell the VP soon, before people start asking questions. She told me not to tell any coworkers until she told the VP. Luckily I'm only in the office once or twice a week.
4. I need to get a new vehicle before LO gets here, but DH and I haven't had time to go looking at anything. We saw an SUV that would hold 2 rear facing carseats and a teen as well as DH and I several months ago, but haven't looked at anything since.
5. DH and I haven't had sex in almost 2 months. I was sick, then he put his back out. We are both fine now, but I'm too stinking tired.
1) I shopped for DD last night at Toys R Us and it was so much fun! I had such a hard time deciding what to get because I wanted to get it all!
2) I really want a starbucks right now, but I have a patient coming so I can't.
3) My boss is asking permission from his boss this morning to allow me to go to four days a week next year. I would have Monday's off and I'm really hoping it gets approved. I'm trying not to get excited about it till its done.
4) DD still has a rash on her face and I'm not sure what it is anymore. I thought it was teething, but still no teeth. It comes and goes. A&D ointment isn't doing much to it. I think its time to get to the pedi, its just hard to get there with work.
5) My grandmother is coming to visit next week. She will be here for a week. In my entire life, my she has never stayed with me that long. She made the decision on her own to come and stay and I can't be happier! She's only seen DD twice and both visits were just a few hours.

2. We overslept and missed StoryTime this morning. I feel bad because it's the last one til February.
3. I really want Chickfila for lunch but Ive had fast food the past 2 days and should really make something healthy.
4. My neighbors go crazy with holiday decorating. I hate being that one house without lights, but we haven't had time. I still don't have ornaments on my tree.
5. I work from home and it's time for my annual review. im doing the self-evaluation part, but can't think of one time that I've done more than the bare minimum... so much for a raise this year.
The short answer: I get nothing done. I log in once a week to check email and participate in conference calls maybe 2x a month.
The long answer: I'm in HR and the company I work for is one that other large companies basically outsource their HR work to. I've worked from home for almost 3 years now, before LO and while pregnant I was incredibly productive and never put in less than 45 hours per week and travelled occassionally. I wanted to be a stay at home mom, but I've worked too hard to just give up my career. My company totally understood and agreed to let me change my status from Full-time to part-time/contingent. This way, I can choose which projects I want, pick my own hours, etc. When I do pick up work, it tends to be things I can do in the evenings or on weekends. LO is home with me 100% of the time during the week and doesn't nap well. I'm completely impressed with anyone who can get work done with a LO around, but luckily we are able to get by on DH's salary for now and my resume won't have a blank spot for the next 5 years.
2. I'm very proud of myself for initiating hanging out with another mom (twice!) this week AND by going to a Christmas party that the Teen Pregnancy place I took childbirth classes at hosted today.
3. I really wish I could afford to put DS in daycare and not have FMIL watch him (especially not drive him!).
4. I hate all of the shows about gold and mining. I do not find them interesting even a little bit.
5. I randomly got an extreme urge to eat pigs in a blanket today at work. My manager tried to convince me that a corn dog would work
