Re: Weekend Check In: 12/15
Im really trying to get to the library today because Im so bored right now. My kid is very much a self entertainer, so while I have to keep an eye on him, I have a lot of
time where Im not doing a lot actively during the day. So I really need some
books and movies that I want to watch. I also really have to go to the grocery store, but I’m kind of queasy today so I don’t want to go out. Of
course the first day I‘m planning to do a bunch of stuff out of the house is the first day in over a week I have a general nausea issue.

I am lucky that my kid is an independent self entertainer too. I am struggling with getting up and doing stuff lately though. I blame the cold weather and the exhaustion. Which I think might be starting to fade.
I really need to make an effort to bring her to story time next week since it is free and she loves picking out new books.
I want to punch him in the throat. My boobs hurt, I’m nauseous again and I haven’t pooped in two days.
DH's cold finally caught up to me...dang. It's apparently everywhere here, and this particular strain has been a 7-10 day recovery. Annoying. Hopefully I can shake it a little quicker...? (Please, Zicam, be the magical stuff you were promised to be...) For whatever reason, as soon as the nose-blowing started the heartburn evaporated, so I'll accept that tradeoff.
Just got home from buying everything in the grocery store, too, and my to-do list is PAGES long today. We have a bunch of people coming over Monday night for our annual gingerbread house decorating party so I need to get prepped for that today since I'm gone all day tomorrow (actually going to DH's away game, yay!) and working Monday. Buuuuuuut then I discovered the Food Network app has a bunch of old Sandra Lee shows on it, which are pure entertainment. Forget Stranger Things or the Kardashians, there is nothing that brings me joy like watching Aunt Sandy get bombed while making things I wouldn't feed a stray cat and saying absolute nonsense like "You want to use fresh green beans! So these are frozen but I thawed them." Which means my list is shot and our guests Monday may need to chop their own crudites because my night will now include eating a whole pizza and binging on Semi Homemade Cooking.
I describe early fetal movement kinda like holding a fish in a bag from the county fair. When your hand is against the bag you can feel the water shift with movement. And little *boops* when the fish hits the side of the bag. At least that’s the best way I can describe it.
I have to say, it was so nice to be able to eat food, lol.
The party is amazing! This year I’m quite sensitive to chocolate so I couldn’t taste as much as last year, lol. It was still great!

I'm also dealing with a cold and drainage. On the way down the mountain my ear clogged from drainage and wouldn't unclog. I gave in and took Sudafed after texting my doctor to make sure it was okay. Now it just really hurts and I hope it doesn't turn into an ear infection.
We also go home today. I'm sad for no more vacation but can't wait to see DS.
Also did some holiday baking using a recipe I’ve used for years, been in the family since before I was born and almost half of the baking didn’t work right and they were for gifts. So now I have to make a second batch and possibly third. None of us can figure out what went wrong since I did the exact same things we’ve always done.
Other than that that we just chilled at home with our puppy. We haven’t had a weekend like that in awhile so it was fantastic.
My cousin is watching all 3 kids today. I have finally reached that point in life were I am excited to clean, organize and do chores kid-free over anything “fun” or “indulgent”. F the spa, I have floors to mop in peace people!
Today we have my FILs birthday party. So we are headed home to clean then back out again.
So I'm not a cook. I'm a fairly decent Baker but for Christmas we had been told to bring rolls. Sweet I can buy those. But I got a text from DHs aunt yesterday saying grandma said forget the rolls bring a dessert. Then added that the one of DHs uncle who I really enjoy says that I need to dazzle him with my dessert. Any suggestions? Preferably something that looks difficult and is extremely tastey but is super easy and uncomplicated lol
@canuckbaby The damn pregnancy dreams are unreal. I kind of love that one, though. I dreamed last night that DD learned to climb out of her crib and I was SOO bummed!
I'm so exceedingly frustrated with the bump's platform. Even on my laptop it wouldn't let me post yesterday at all even though it said I was logged in. Today I had to log out and back in three times and open and close the browser twice to make it work. And the app is hopeless.
This was a good weekend. We were supposed to go to the zoo to see lights with SIL and her DH, but it rained. So we just relaxed at home yesterday and watched basketball and then Elf. This morning DH, DD, and I went to breakfast and went to see Santa. It was predictably a disaster and DD wouldn't sit on his lap. So I sat next to santa and she sat on my lap and cried. Hah! Too bad I had no makeup and my glasses on. Oh well. Just football and laundry on the agenda today. I was going to try to intensely clean the house this weekend and wrap all the Christmas presents... but I did not succeed at that!
@dntstpbelieveing I made a few desserts yesterday that were super easy but actually taste really good...
- Christmas fudge (took all of 4 minutes)
- Snickerdoodle cookie dough truffles (with an eggless cookie dough that came together super easy and I will 100% be repeating to eat raw bc it is delish)
- Candy Cane Kiss dip to go with graham crackers, oreos, and brownies
I'm on my phone right now (mobile app working ok so far today, knock on wood) but if you want any of those recipes I can link when I get home.
