So, I'm seeking your opinions.

My H's best friend and his fiancé are so different it baffles us. On top of other little things, one is a liberal atheist and the other is a die hard republican catholic. Can this marriage work out?

My H and I are very similar, especially on our thoughts of the big topics: money, religion, kids, education. But maybe some people find the differing opinion attractive?

Link7913 · December 2014

I hope they have similar values, and that everything works out. It's just a very different relationship than what I'm used to.

@Mamasighs‌ - one wants kids, the other doesn't care if they have kids or not. One wants to send future kids to public school, the other to catholic.

The list of disagreements goes on and on. I can see where kids would create more disagreements with holidays, baptisms, etc.

Yea - I hadn't planned to do anything about it. I do think it is interesting though, and thought it might lead to interesting discussion here.

DH has been a bump on a log all day and wonders why I'm exhausted and don't want to go to his friends tree trimming party.
And I have to direct the christmas play at church tomorrow morning... He wonders why I want to come home early.

It was a fun chaotic party.

Four year olds LOVED treasure hunt and digging for buried treasure. (I tried to be mellow as aquarium sand was strewn all over the dining room floor....and their hands got dyed blue. It was a struggle.)

All my pics with S in them have his friends and I haven't edited out their faces yet. But here's the boat pre-party. They loved that too. We put the learning tower on the other end from the sail with a nautical wheel.

Now to grade. And Christmas!

Crazy day!

Did laundry.

Made breakfast.

Hosted a neighborhood playdate. Then all went together to the park across the street.

Had lunch.

Finished our fall cleanup (leaves and trimming the garden) just in time for the start of winter.

Went grocery shopping.

Took a walk around the block to look at Christmas lights.

Cooked dinner... I'm obsessed with roast pork tenderloin with rosemary and then making a gravy from the drippings.

Now I'm going to clean up while DH gets T in bed and bake some cookies and sip some wine.

Hope all you ladies are having a great Saturday evening.

In law to-do list is in good shape

Got the house completely clean to in-law sparkle (minus floors), cleaned two closets, did all the laundry includes bedding and bath mats, made my meal plan and went to the store.

Tomorrow is the start of cooking: Clam Chowder, pot roast, cranberry bliss bars, hot chocolate mix, and black bean dip. Plus need to vacumn and mop. But we're in good shape. They'll arrive around 3pm.

I am always amazed and baffled by how much you can accomplish in a day! One of these tasks is a good day's work for me. You did them all.

Enjoy your time with ILs.

(Also I think achieving IL sparkle has yet to happen in this house. Maybe if I didn't have to clean up after a band of roving pirates

)

@lizbethann82‌ it sounds like we've had similar health problems this week. When I had it, I thought I might die. I didn't! It did take a good 4 days and 2 prescriptions to help me feel better though. Hope you feel better soon.

Hi! :-h we had a play date this morning, I went on a 4.5 mile run during nap time, then we went to the farmers market. Good day here!

Hugs to all the sick mamas and babies! >:D< >:D<

Things are getting really tough for G. He has two different playdates this next week with two pretty ladies. They have also both sent christmas cards. He spent a long time looking at both photos and pointing at Claire @simone711‌ & Maggie @KateJuly2013‌. It's like he's got decisions to make.

@Encchanted‌ now that I've got two girls, I would love to dress them up as the sisters in white Christmas for Halloween some year. White Christmas is my absolute favorite Christmas movie!

Scary @juliedave151‌! I'm glad she's better.

Nikita is at a friends for the night...I hauled a bunch of stuff in to wrap. All I want to do now is I-) I think my ambition went to be with jadzia.

Does anyone know of a good thing for cracked hands? I have horribly dry skin on my hands during the winter and I have a bunch of little cuts everywhere. Has anyone tried coconut oil? I have a million creams and none seem to help too much. Thanks girls

I'm sure coconut oil would be great! DH loves using Burt's Bees hand salve.
*adding to say that he uses it at night because it's very greasy

This...O'Keeffe's working hands cream. It is seriously magical. In just a few days your skin is the smoothest and healthiest ever. They also have a foot cream and it is the one I use all the time. Works like a charm...I think the reviews tell enough.

I just ordered the hand cream and the foot cream!!!

@valstulas‌ You'll have to let me know how you like them!

I'm sure my texting thumb will thank you. :>

valstulas · December 2014

Hahahaha, I'm at working a sitting in a room with an impulsive patient and guess what ad comes on.

O'Keefe's working hand cream!!!

Rando.

Apparently I am a serious lightweight now...

A DH's company party I had about a third of a margarita and had to stop because I was getting a serious buzz and we had the baby with us.

ashie624 · December 2014

We went and visited with DHS cousin today. We got to go see Santa and the reindeer but that was about it. I had hoped to do more. Oh well.

DHs grandma gave Zoe her Christmas present today so she wouldn't feel left out since we all gave DHs cousins son his gifts today. Lol.

It's a baby doll. She has playing with it all night. DH said "baby dolls are a waste of money. They don't play with them long." I looked at him. I said "how long do you think they play with them?" H: "2-3 months" @-) /:) LOL. Oh DH.
