I'm trying to make it through the next 2.5 hours of work. The babies at work have been screaming nonstop all damn night. It's like a constant 10-baby chorus. I've been trying to fight off a terrible migraine.
Also, I'd really like to buy some dining room furniture.
The kids don't have school today, so DS#2 is watching Nicholas while I'm at work. I spent the entire day cleaning and disinfecting this house yesterday because we cannot seem to shake this stomach bug and I SWEAR TO ALL THAT IS HOLY it had better look like this when I get home!
Also, N got in trouble for saying "poopy head" on the school bus, so he's grounded from the Wii. Whaddayawannabet he cons DS#2 into sneaking a few games of Mario Kart today?
Despite that I freaking KNOW better, DS rolled off the bed last night in the minute it took me to go turn on the shower for DD. He's fine, cried a little but calmed down right away and didn't seem to have anything that hurt, but fuck, I feel like crap about it.
DH comes home this afternoon, yay!! This is the only reason I'm not wishing that Sunday's winter weather was today, otherwise, it would have been the perfect time for a snow day.
I went to see 12 Years a Slave last night. It was good, but I left feeling drained and depressed.
Usually, I don't like to do things like that on work nights, because it is harder for me to go to sleep on time, which happened. I was up until almost 11:30, which made getting up this morning very difficult.
I missed not only my train but the train after that. And just barely made the 7 O clock.
Andy woke at 430 and instead of soothing him back to sleep, H brought him into bed with us. He doesn't do this much anymore, but Andy instantly quieted and snuggled right into me and fell asleep. It was so snuggly and sweet with his little arms wrapped around me. There was no way I could get up. I overslept by an hour and fifteen min!

DH's final crits are this coming week, so this weekend will be sorbet trying to stay out of his way. Ugh. And I have a mountain of grading to do, myself. I don't wanna! My only motivation to do case studies is that most of my students put candy in them and our Halloween stuff is seriously picked over. That little suggestion I made a few semesters ago really took on a life of its own!
Most of my co workers are in training or out of the office today, so it's going to be a super lonely day. Just me and GBCN.
Also, I think my neighbors are putting their dog down today. He is so sweet and I feel really bad for them. I'm going to try to think of something nice to do for them.
The keep showing video from Nelson Mandela's home on the news, and it's giving me goosebumps to see everyone singing and dancing and clapping. What a wonderful celebration of someone's life.

I just found my mom the BEST gift to get Lucy for Christmas. I kinda want to keep it for myself. It's a roll-up balance beam that she can use at home. DUDE
Second interview today!!! I brought a change of clothes with me to work, but just stuffed them into my purse so no one would be the wiser. I hope when I pull them out they don't look like shit.
Ahhhhh!!! Ahhhhhh!!! 7 people from my job interviewed for this place beside myself. I was the only one who got an immediate call back. This is crazy.
I have a bump forming on my back just under my bra strap. That fucker hurts!!
Its Dec in NC, I'm wearing my Rainbows, and my feet aren't cold! Supposed to be a high around 80 today. It felt like spring this morning and made me so happy. It'll only last for a day before the cold front moves in though. I really wanted to call in "sick", but didn't do it.
Thank goodness it's Friday! Boss is coming back after a week away so I suspect today will suck. But then H and I are going out for a belated anniversary dinner!
I have a friend who is creeping closer and closer to being a Facebook train wreck. I roll my eyes at every post, but I can't bring myself to delete or hide. Yesterday, was suspended from work for something she clearly believes is NOT HER FAULT. Today, asking the internet for a new job in a completely different state.

Snow day! Best 4am phone call ever. H is on his way home from the FD, and my sister just took DS out for a walk before the snow actually arrives. It's 100% silent in my house, and I'm enjoying it with a cup of tea on the couch. It's awesome.
But it is always stressful to get my house in cleaning lady shape lol. You know picking dirty laundry off our bedroom floor. Unloading 4 days worth of washed dishes out of the sink. Stuff that normal people probably do everyday lol.

Ugh I am jealous
I wish Leo would do this. We try to bring him into bed and he is all "FUUUUUCKKKK YOU. This is not my bed!"

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
Santa is coming through our neighborhood on a fire truck tonight. I'm excited. I hope DS doesnt freak out with the sirens.
I think I'm going to use my United unused ticket to go to Boston with DH in the spring. I need to figure out when it starts warming up, maybe mid-late March? I'm excited, I've never been but everyone in my family has gone (including DH) and loves it.
Last one, I love Harry Potter and my dept head is a Disney freak. He asked me if I got the Hogwarts ornament and I said "well with three kids, things are a little tight this year" joke joke joke (he complains about how expensive his kids are all the time and how he has no money so this isnt atypical for us to joke about). I got here this morning and there was a gift bag with the Hogwarts ornament in it. How freaking nice is that? What a nice guy.
The weather today is miserable. It's about 35 and raining, which is just about the worst because it's that nasty cold rain.
We adopted a family this year for Christmas and we have to turn in their presents tomorrow. I'm not sure my sister bought enough stuff for her kid, so my mom and I might be making a trip to Target tomorrow on the way to drop off gifts.

OMG we went though this last night. I was to lazy to clean so I literally picked up the stack of laundry that needed to be hung up and just threw them on a bed in one of the rooms the cleaners don't touch.

you and me dude lol. We have all of our clean clothes on our bed so she can clean our floors. She doesn't touch our bed.
Tonight is my company Christmas party and I don't want to go but I already bought tickets so I'm kind of stuck because I hate wasting money. I'm sure it will be fun once I'm there but right now, I'm just dreaming of going home and putting sweatpants on.
I cannot stop yawning today. I went to bed at 8:45 last night and slept through to my alarm this morning but I feel like I still need more sleep.
I took Monday off and am going to get all of the girls gifts wrapped while they're at school.
Jack was up at 3:30, so I watched Reign this morning at 3:30 in bed with him.
I had to block @bunnymacdougal because of that damn avatar photo.
The prednisone I'm on for bronchitis is making me insane. I swear I'm manic.
PREDNISONE IS THE DEVIL. I'm a crazy raging bitch on it. I'm like Louis CK's kid on it- I'm just seething mad for the most insane reasons (I don't know which piece to eat first!)
And now I'm weaning down from 40 mg/day for three weeks? Sweating like a crack head. I mean, being able to breathe is nice and all, but this shit is for the birds!
I made a TASTY breakfast casserole for dinner last night, and it was SO easy. I ate 2 big pieces for dinner, and another one this morning for breakfast.
It snowed about 5 inches here last night, and it's supposed to snow 1-3 more today. H is working from home and only one of my daycare kids came today and she's a tiny baby, so it's an easy and lazy day around our house.
Since G is a toddler tornado, we didn't put a christmas tree up in our living room this year, just in the front room, which is gated off b/c of the stairs, etc. It's nice to not have to constantly re-direct him away from the tree, or worry about him pulling it over, but our house isn't as cozy and christmas-y with out a tree in our main living space. Hopefully next year he understands what NO means a little more, and we can have it in here again.
