With regards to the gifts, last year DS2 was only a few months old at Christmas but I tried to get him a few things, even if it was clothes, new cloth diaper, etc. because I didn't want my older son to think Santa forgot about the baby and I was sensitive about trying to make it look "fair". I'm not sure if that makes sense, but it did to me in a sleepless, post-partum haze.
Lol I did not read this before I posted my response.
Sorry 'bout your husband @unheardof. Construction bosses are almost universally assholes. Like more so than ordinary bosses. MH has had maybe one good one ever and the rest have been total tools.
Question: how many presents do you get for a baby under 1? I just realized that we only have one present for the baby. Everything else is for the toddler.
2. But then I stole some books from the toddler and brought the total up to 4.

2 1/2 presents over here. The 1/2 is because my parents and I both inadvertently bought A the same book (Pat the Bunny!) so does that count as 1 present or 2?
I really want to share a pic with you guys but my phone says low memory so I can't attach. It's a pic of the new vc Andrews series. Apparently christopher kept a diary while in the attic.
I am here. Trying to stay still so I don't attract sammies attention while her dad tries to get her to sleep. Thinking wine might make me sleep better tonight but can't get off couch to get it grrrr. on a side note he has been picking up my severe slacking the past few days which has made it so much easier on me.
I have eaten so many baked goods. Is it possible to bake and not eat everything?
No it is not. I was eating really well until I started all my Christmas baking and now it has all gone to hell. I have been eating my weight in Christmas goodies nightly for the past week.

Having breakfast with two (lifelong) childhood friends was the best thing ever today. We were all friends throughout elementary and middle school. I've stayed in touch (a lot) with both but they lost touch in college. Breakfast was amazing. So many childhood pics, memories, and catching up. It was also super cute that one of my friends remembered a very specific picture with DS1 when she was here the last time and asked to take "the same" picture with DS2. They were about the same age (4-5 months). Seriously, some friends aren't just friends. They are family.
I'm glad I'm not alone. I was pretty much snorting confectioner's sugar tonight.
This reminds me of a patient I had on my caseload who had just come from the county mental health complex. He was an addict who got beat nearly to death and suffered a pretty significant brain injury. His chart notes reported that he tried to snort actual sugar while he was there. I'm guessing he thought it was something else.

I just made eggnog. It has the exact texture of the foam on top of a cappuccino, except it is full of brandy and rum.
I want more but I shouldn't.....

I made this one. I halved it. Should have quartered it!
ETA: um, here is the actual link (has clearly had too much eggnog...): https://www.npr.org/2013/12/23/256582141/dont-knock-the-nog-until-youve-tried-this-one
You ladies help keep me sane, and like I'm never drinking alone. Which is important.
