MH & I managed to DTD by the lights of the Christmas tree last night, as is our Christmas tradition, with 8 kids under the roof. We can barely manage to DTD under regular circumstances with just our 4 here lol
Sorry for all the sick kiddos. Mine was fine all day yesterday after the puking and fever Friday and I was sick. This morning she woke up coughing again to the point she gags
I cleaned yesterday and we got breakfast from McDonalds today. Need to go to the grocery store and do everything I didn't do yesterday. Plus study for my last exam.
Just opened my secret elf gift! I didn't see it on my porch when I got home last night. It's awesome!
I have to run to the grocery store for a couple items, then I'm spending the day assembling 40 freezer meals. I love doing the work up front.
40?! Please share recipes!
Checking in while I put the baby down for his nap.
It's 20 different meals I'm making 2 of each. I confessed a few weeks back that I am a direct sales consultant (for the discount) and this is why. I won't share the name because I don't want it to be considered spam.
Dh took DS out with him to run a few errands..ahhh peace and quiet! A least a small dose of it, considering starting next month, our life will be nothing less than controlled MFing chaos for the next..oh, 5 years!
Morning! I just intro'd in the lurker/newbie thread, so just gonna jump in here now.
Went grocery shopping this morning after having put that off for like a week. It was slim pickins around here. Then a stop at Sbucks where my kid decided we should stay for a bit. So an impromptu breakfast date with my boy. Have to ref a basketball game at 1 before the weekly Sunday dinner at my moms- love Sundays. I don't have to cook dinner and I get to do free laundry there (no washer/drier in my apartment). Winning all around. Studying later for a final for a class (EKG interpretation) I took for work.
I bought this for dd because she kept saying she wanted it when it was on tv. Now they have it $3 cheaper online with an extra mermaid online. Plus the last couple times the commercial has come on she has said nothing. Do I take it back and get her something else? I can't find my receipt either so I can't even try for the price difference

I'd maybe stop at the customer service desk and see if they can look up the transaction (using a credit card # if you paid by card) and price match.

Ohh good idea I did use my card. I found the exact one I bought online through them for $8 I paid 17.99
I'm up. Grocery shopping, laundry, and baking Christmas cookies today. I'm cheating and bought the bags of sugar cookie mix. Lazy mom trying to do the most.
The kid bailed in me half way through so i had to finish myself. I would have been really mad had i made them from scratch. Kidding. It went so much faster once he left the room.
I pissed off the guy at the deli today. I asked for paper between the cheese slices abd again he screwed it up. I made him redo it. When i explained that the cheese gets stuck together he rolled his eyes and huffed. Do it right the first time, ass.
So sorry to hear so many households are suffering with illness. Hope everyone gets better soon. Pictures with Santa today. Hopefully decorating our tree then sunday dinner at my mum. Roast beef and York shire puddings mmmmmm.
I did manage to get to a movie with a friend yesterday without too much protest from DH because her husband is out of town, and we don't want her to be lonely, do we? We went to see Whiplash; it was sooo good!
You guys this wedding was so amazing. There was an enormous print of the brides face right by the restrooms. The photographer's cards had her bridal photos on them and her name. Just her name.
I'm stuck under a sleeping baby & DS who is in time out in my lap. I need to get dressed so I can take everyone home but I could seriously close my eyes & take a nap.....
I just tried to wrap more presents with DS around (not his obviously) and OMG. It was like wrapping presents with a very interested baby monkey. At one point he pulled out like a foot of scotch tape.
DS is 1DAF

I got skinny before my wedding, but it wasn't so much for my wedding as it was for my honeymoon. I wanted to lay around in a bathing suit and eat/drink everything, while looking good.
I tried to lose before my wedding (I was not as out of shape as I am now, but it would have been nice.) People kept telling me that I would lose without really trying due to the stress of planning the wedding. Uh, I don't react to stress that way.
Also, my (now ex) SIL was there for my bridal photos, and when she saw me in my dress, she said, "Did you try at all to lose weight?" Biotch.

The paper b/t the cheese slices is super important. How else am I supposed to pull apart my thinly sliced cheese without it turning into shreds?
Damn DH doesn't listen. His excuse for not putting DD down for a nap is he didn't want to hear her cry. Now I have to do it and most likely have a rough bedtime. He will be at work then.
I don't even have my wedding dress. I had lost weight before meeting DH. By the time we got engaged and planned the wedding I gained. My zipper popped during a fitting. I ended up with a lace up back after that. It was the same dress.
My mom took my wedding dress to get preserved then never picked it up. It has now been 8 years. Sometimes it makes me sad that i don't have it,but then i think it's just less clutter to deal with.
I always eye roll when brides loose SO much weight before their wedding that they are basically unrecognizable. There is nothing healthy about it and they always put it back on after. I guess if it makes you happy... But I'd rather have memories looking like myself.
This is why I don't photoshop pics (for things other than red eye or brightness). I don't want to see a pic of how I wished I had looked, I want to have a picture of an actual memory.

And I happen to need a wallet... And....earrings. And a new bag apparently...

Why does exercise have to hurt? On a related note, why does fattening food have to be so delicious?
And I hope all the sick moms and babies feel better soon, and that the mancolds go away. This is the germiest thread ever!
Ok, 4-year-old Beavis.

I honestly have no idea if it would fit or not...
and I'm certain my hubby would go bonkers if I tried.
I anticipate talking to myself a lot this afternoon.
