Morning everyone! We're hosting an ugly Christmas sweater party tomorrow and Phia is spending the night at my sister's. 24 hours baby free and adult time. I can't decide what I'm more excited for: the party, or sleep.
@Wedding06 Glad C is all better, hopefully he continues and you can get all caught up on your rest today!
@Fitmama418 Enjoy your time! I'm disappointed none of my friends are doing any holiday parties, I need a good excuse to send the kid to one of the grandparents overnight so I can drink.
@LJGS1010 Take it easy on your bootie...that sounds like some horrible pain you've got!
When I leave the house in the morning, if I have E with me, I have to say outloud that the garage door is closed, or if I'm alone, I say it to myself. This morning I just hit the button and left, didn't look back. Drove the 15 minutes to my moms and realized I couldn't remember if the door was closed. So I drove back home to make sure, which it was of course. I feel like a crazy OCD freak about that stupid garage door!
I have a question...my brother was a total jerk over Thanksgiving and made no effort at all to spend time with us in VT and if he actually did come to a meal he was a huge grouch and left the table 20+ times to smoke, etc. and also was on his phone the whole time. I have not spoken to him since because I'm just so tired of trying sometimes with him.
I just got a birthday text saying he loves me and will see me tonight. I didn't know he was coming and I'm not really happy about it because I know he will just do the same thing. But if I say something to my parents they will probably just tell me to let it go.
@LizB8943 It's possible, but I just don't trust him for beans. He's an addict and a chronic liar. I know life is tough for him, but just once in awhile I wish he would get it together!
@TJHine I don't think you're being immature. It's your birthday and you want to enjoy your dinner rather than sit across from a brooding jerk, even if it is your brother. That's what I'd tell my parents.
Nothing planned. Jess is sore from all the running around we did yesterday so we're going to take it easy. Her DH doesn't have to fly today so he got an unexpected extra 3 days off. I'm about to go clean up their backyard because I think the dogs have done some damage. I'm going to have to sneak out because I'm here to help her around the house but she is trying to make me sit still!
Leaving Sunday morning. 4 days and 4 nights. She decided to send me on the hunt for some PP underwear at Target. Then we're going to wrap presents, hang stockings, and make cookies.
@motherEFFingKatie we did not do vaccines at G's 1 year visit because he was right before the cutoff of the fever threshold (he was at 100.4 and the cutoff is 100.5). They told me one (or maybe more, I don't remember) of the vaccines was a live virus. Our pedi will do vaccines with just a nurse visit so we didn't have to push off the whole appointment. We ended up pushing out the vaccines another week because he is still sick.
Guys I have all the feels today. Birthday day, awesome friends, awesome bumpie friends, and awesome family and kiddo...and missing Tim and all that comes along with that and just wanting to be having homemade pizza and beer for dinner with him. Plus the anniversary of 12/14 coming up. My head is all sorts of up and down today.
It's 5:30 and Matthew just went down for his second nap.. I'm terrified to move for fear of waking the beast he's been today.. He's cut 6 teeth in 5 days!!!!! We're going to see this Christmas house tonight and take soup to my uncle. He won't eat anything except chicken noodle soup. I made a huge batch so hopefully he'll eat. Tomorrow we're going shopping for our giving tree child. A 16 year old boy who likes football and basket ball. I bought him a football already, it said he needed shoes so were gonna get him a pair of Nike. But I don't know what else.. A nice hoodie? I don't know.
@CFox815 do you ever feed the boy Chinese food? I just got a beef and broccoli with plain rice for him but all I can think is how much sodium is going to be in that.
Pandora has a 90's Christmas station. E and I are rocking out to N*Sync, Backstreet Boys, Britney (before she went crazy), Mandy Moore, and 98 Degrees.
So I took the kids to gym class again today because Unlimited Classes! Well, one of the teachers was telling me how dh said all this nice stuff about me last night at the Dad/kid party. She literally had tears in her eyes talking about how sweet he was. Then all the teachers were telling me how our family is the best and we are their favorites. It made my day for real.
@LizB8943 thanks. ( : I've been told since I can remember that I have "an old soul" I can see that in peach already too. ( : made high school hard but I transitioned into adulthood pretty smoothly.
Re: feisty Friday!
Heres a pic of what my kiddos are currently doing.
Started the day off with 2 cinnamon rolls and coffee with eggnog so I feel pretty awesome right now

What would you all do?
ETA: I know I'm being immature. He has just really hurt me a lot over the years and has really made terrible choices of late.
Morning Morning Morning!!!
We have a busy afternoon planned today. Going to see Christmas trees with Great Grandma and Great grandpa! 4 Oclock can't get here fast enough!
Hope everyone is ready for a fun weekend!

Never know with him
@CFox815 That's usually how I deal. I will probably do that because you know, confrontation.
