Same dilemma here @classictwitch . In the oversized chair description it says fits most school aged kids 6 and up,so I'm actually thinking regular size will probably last a decent amount of time...? I've never seen them in person though. We don't have a PBK in Alberta, so I'm ordering online just because everyone here seems to love theirs
Grayson is driving me crazy...throwing toys over every single gate...spitting his milk out...I need him to go to bed soon. I am not feeling like a great mommy tonight.
KJ was awful tonight. It was crazy. She would only let me hold her then cried every time I left a room where DH was or if he left a room we were in. I had picked her up from daycare early and hoped we could all go out to dinner then see some Christmas lights. She wouldn't let that happen. DH saved the evening by getting Red Lobster to go while I put her to bed.

What is his bed time?
He went to sleep at 8 tonight. Apparently he was a monster for my mom all day too. He's currently crying now because he woke up...
@workinit my mil is a peach too. I used to get upset with her but now I just do what I want to do. I'm having Christmas dinner at our house with my brothers and parents and I invited the outlaws. If they show up, they do. If they don't, they don't. My mil is always asking if and when I'm going back to work. She didn't approve of me resigning from my secure, well paying job to stay home with the kids. She continued teaching and she thinks all women should continue with their careers. I honestly pretend I don't hear her when she mentions me working.

I know it isn't pleasant for you, but she is so cute and the pic totally cracked me up! Hope sweetie went to bed easily enough.
Bedtime was easy. Maybe she was tired. I took the pic for my dad because be wanted to video chat with us. I said it wasn't a good time.
I'm so sorry that your MIL is being such a pain, @workinit. You are so considerate and sweet, it's not fair that anyone would be anything less towards you.
Good morning ladies! I'm so glad it's the weekend! What is everyone up to this weekend???
Grayson and I are going shopping with my mom today to get some work clothes and continue her Christmas shopping. Tomorrow will be a lazy day with laundry.
Good morning! KJ is still being fussy today. No idea why. It's a rainy day here and DH is heading out of town to go to a friends party. I will escape to the grocery store before he leaves. Hopefully the rain will slow down so KJ and I can leave the house later. I think it's the only way we'll survive.
Today I'm doing freezer meal prep and household chores. We may venture out to bass pro to see Santa but that all depends on how I feel after I'm done with everything else I want to do today.
Tom, I have no idea what we will do. Maybe just stay home and play board games all day
I will preface this with I am no auto engineer or expert, but in light of all evidence that rear facing is safest, shouldn't someone have designed a family car by now that has seats facing the other direction?
I need to vent for a second. My mom is in the process of moving out of our childhood home and it is not going well. So weeks ago, my sister and I planned to go over there today and clean out some stuff and do some light cleaning. Obviously, I couldn't take the kids with me, so they were going to be with H for the whole day- first time he has had both of them by himself for more than an hour or two. I thought about suggesting he call his mom to help, but then thought he might have been insulted- so I didn't.
My sister and I broke for lunch at about 1- id been gone for 4 hours and I get a panicked call from my H- Nora won't eat and he's about to lose it- I need to come home right now.
I'm frustrated for so any reasons- 1. Don't call me when you are about to lose it. Call me BEFORE it gets to that point. 2. Why won't my kid take a freakin bottle!!! What is it going to take!?!? 3. It's been 9 weeks and I am starting to feel like I will NEVER shake my Nora shadow. Or the only acceptable reason to do so is work. I know no one did anything wrong- so I'm not mad at a person or anything- just so intensely frustrated.
Though I am slightly mad at my H who needed to " get out of here" for an hour 15 minutes after I got home. Sorry pal- that can't always be the solution.
We have our nephew's 2nd birthday party tomorrow night at 6. I was already annoyed because who has a party at 6pm on a Sunday for a two year old? But then I found out that they are having her family over in the afternoon for a party and then his family in the evening. So we have second shift and the toddler will probably be crabby and unnapped. I don't plan on staying long.
why can't everyone just come to the same party? This makes no sense to me, especially since a party at 6:00 for a 2 year old? Obviously it's going to suck for your whole part of the family. I have nothing good to add, just that it's dumb.
@Pitchslap@smpeachey - enlighten me too? I thought I was pretty good at keeping up with all these SN changes (or just SNs ... I hope it's a change, and not somebody that I've forgotten!).
@subliminalrabbit@steamboat123 can germs travel through the bump? Because I think yall got me sick. Woke up this morning with my stomach hurting and nauseous. I had a moms group thing where I'm the leader so I went - taking N to the car and buckling her made me want to collapse. Made it through an hour there and thought I'd survive this. Then on the way home, getting N up to our place wiped me out and I had to sit down in the elevator to keep from fainting and just collapsed in the door. Now I'm in bed with a puke bowl next to me in case I can't make it if I have to throw up.
We had a babysitter coming tonight and had plans to go on a nice Christmas date and open presents to each other but I had to cancel the babysitter . So bummed because we haven't been on a date in quite awhile. MH has finals on Mon and really needs to study so we're trying to juggle him watching her so I can rest and me watching her so he can study. We've been snuggling in bed watching Netflix on my phone a lot. I think she feels a little under the weather too although no real symptoms besides being cuddlier and whinier than normal.

It's a name change. She was all letters that has PS in her name.
Congrats @vitafelix I thought I was next in line but I guess your little miss had other ideas!!! Can't wait to see pics and hear about her birth story.
One of my close girlfriends is coming over to watch About Time with me. She was about to cancel on me earlier and I cried. She changes her plans and I'm so happy! I really need this girls night in. We are going to have popcorn, wine and chocolate chip cookies!!!
My girlfriend who lives in TX Is coming to ATL a few days early before Christmas so she can come stay with me and have a girls night...wine, apps, girl talk....I am so EXCITED!!!!
I got a crap ton done today!! Somehow I managed to muster up enough energy to do all of the following:
- wash sheets and remake 3 beds - complete 2 other loads of laundry - do a load of diapers - took out all garbage/recycling from the house - prepare 2 lasagnas, 2 dinners worth of manicotti, 3 pans of baked ziti, and a meatloaf for after Brantley arrives - plus a few other small misc. chores around the house
We didn't make it up to see Santa, but it started raining and I really didn't feel like dragging 2 kiddos out in it.
Hoping tom is another productive day. I feel like I'm down to the wire to get stuff done around my house. I have no idea how I'm going to keep up with everything once my new squish arrives.
DD was singing me some of the songs she's been practing for her school's Christmas pagaent. When she's supposed to say Bethlehem, she keeps saying "pet the ham".
Re: Let it SPAM!
@lioness13 I'm sorry you had a monster on your hands tonight too. Hopefully she went to bed easily for you guys!
I am exhausted and haven't been sleeping well the last couple of nights so I am off to bed! Hope everyone has a good night!!
