DH took X shopping with my MIL. My plan was to wash the floors. I'm sitting in my pjs watching Friends and eating KD out of the pot while drinking a non-alcoholic beer. Life is good.

I had two holiday card photo shoot fails with the girls this weekend. One shoot, C1 was great and all smiles while C2 bawled the entire time. The second one C2 was all smiles and C1 wouldn't smile or look at the camera. I don't think I'm sending out holiday cards this year.
Enjoy your time alone! The floors can wait. I just finished chapter three of my masters thesis and am celebrating with some more coffee. Emerson has been off the walls for the past two days and I feel bad for my H who's been on his own with her while I was writing. Everyonce in awhile I would hear her run up and down the hall yelling "mamamamamamama". They're at Target now and I'm enjoying the peace and quiet.
May slept like crap all night. (For the third night in a row). I woke up to cat hairball barf in the living room. DH is working until midnight today. I am planning to head over to my parents' and spend the night. That way may can hang out with her uncle who is still in town and i can take a nap.
MH and I have worked it out where he leaves early on Sundays so I can go into work. But once before he pulled this "We are too busy and I can't get out of work, you'll have to find someone else." Well I made it work last time barely ( since he called two hours before I had to be to work) But this time he called me three hours before AND has my car. I told him "sorry, you make it work this time, and I need my car." Bitchy? Probably. But I line up all the daycare every single week, and am just under 90 days at this company AND I make more money than he does. He can figure it out this time.
A and I went to Target this morning and he was a little shit. Yelling for hot dogs the entire time. We got home and he inhaled 2 hot dogs. He's been up since 6, so he is going down for a nap soon. I finally got some tape and tags so I can start wrapping presents. I really love wrapping presents! I have been on a marshmallow kick. Today I am making cranberry orange. I might also make gingerbread cookie dough.
I'm at work today, but I am not feeling very productive.
Excited to go home and break out all of the Christmas Decos from the attic, I LOVE having the house look so festive. We'll get our tree with BFF next weekend.
Saw Frozen yesterday, it was soooo good! I ate way toooooo much popcorn
DH is supposed to come home tonight. A huge snow storm is supposed to come through today till tomorrow. We will see if DH comes home. There is no way he is going to drive 4.5 hours in a blizzard.
I am thinking a relaxing day at home. I don't want to wash my hair today because I dyed it on Friday. But if I go out, I will have to wash my hair. Oh FWP.
L stayed at the ILs last night. We are heading over there in about an hour.
I am putting in a few hours of work this morning so I don't have to work tonight. Having a 4 day weekend was so nice. I don't want to go back tomorrow, wahhhh.
I started watching Downtown Abbey yesterday at the ILs and I am so hooked! I saw the first 3 episodes of season 1 yesterday and I want to watch at least a few more today. I had no idea I would like it this much.

Today was my day to sleep in and I had some a very disturbing dream. I hate bad dreams. I'm just glad it wasn't about anyone I know and more like I was in a scary movie or haunted house.
I'm waiting on cinnamon rolls to bake and need coffee stat.
We may go see DH's grandfather today. We wanted to go yesterday but he fell Friday night and wasn't up for company.
I don't wanna go back to work tomorrow. Only a few weeks until Christmas so that will keep me motivated.
We are driving home! I am always glad to get home and back into routine after a trip. We don't have to make this drive again until July and hopefully by then Ada will like movies/TV and it will be less painful.
It irritates me that Harper "doesn't like movies". I want to go see Frozen.
We are taking the girls to a tiny zoo up at the park we did out photos with Devotchka. I need to get up and pack picnic stuff. Not.quite.yet...
I just recently discovered that there was a zoo there. J literally spent an hour in the petting area brushing goats. The kid who is afraid of tiny dogs, brushing goats. Whatever. I liked it because it was small enough to let him walk through it. It wore him out perfectly.
On Saturday, while we were having a few drinks, DH asked me to help motivate him to exercise. So I told him we would pick back up with CT5K on Sunday. So I got up, got everyone cereal, and told him I want to leave in an hour. He looked at me like I was crazy. I reminded him what we are doing, and now he's trying to talk me out of it. No way buddy. This is happening. I am so tired of hearing him whine like a girl about his looks. Plus, once he gets going and starts seeing results, he does it on his own amazingly.
We set the humidifier back up last night in Luke's room and it gave him nightmares. The first time I saw the steam in the monitor I thought it was ghosts then DH reminded me it was on
He woke up screaming and pointing at it a bunch of times so he ended up in our bed and no one slept
Between painting and carrying V all over Sesame Place, my arms feel like complete jello today.
How was Sesame Place?
It was pretty good. She's really into the characters now, so she was just running up to random signs. We had to leave a show early bc she wouldn't sit, but she loved the parade. I would've loved to have stayed to take pics with all the lights but it was just way too cold.
I did laundry at a laundromat b/c our dryer is broken. I was amazed it cost nearly $20 for about 3-4 loads worth (in a regular machine).
I am preparing to bring Peyton's rabbit in the house. Hoping I can get it litter trained so it can hop around upstairs hallway. That should take his mind off of the slowing deteriorating Betta fish we got and he knocked on the floor.
We just got back from our thanksgiving trip, and E slept like absolute crap the entire time. As in, 45 minute naps and up at 4 AM for the day. I have no idea what was up his butt, but with the stomach bug we went through last week and now this I am exhausted and being uber bitch to everyone. I'm praying his sleep was just due to the disruption in his routine (although he is usually fine on trips) and that he gets back to normal soon.
We are part way into our 10 hour drive home and traffic is miserable. We are 1/4 of the way we should be. And we are sitting in traffic and Charlie has pooped and one of the other boys just told me he has to. And we can't move anywhere. This sucks.
I'm freaking out a little bit. After my run this morning I realized my back is starting to hurt again. I've had this muscle spasm that hits randomly. Sometimes so bad I have to go to the ER for a shot. I haven't had any issues in over three years, but I recognized the pain immediately. I am praying this goes away. I just don't have the time for it.
