DH is working today and I have the house to myself (well, me and the two dogs). <)
Brother's FI is coming over and we are deciding which jewelry I will make for her and the BMs for the wedding. It is in March so I have plenty of time. Thank the good Lord because one piece looks like it will take me a week.
Plus fun stuff like laundry and cleaning.
Oh, and planning the menu for TG. All we have on the list so far is AB's brined turkey, fresh baked rolls from our fav bakery and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. Oh and Ina Garten's cheese cake. I would be fine with just that but DH doesn't agree. I mean, who needs veggies to get in the way.
ETA: is it over 32 degrees for the first time in a week. It feels so warm out. Snow is melting and that makes me happy. It is too early for so much snow.
H was snoring so badly I kicked him out of bed to the couch at 3:45. Then I couldn't fall back asleep until 5:30. Then DD woke up at 6:10. I'm exhausted.
I'm drinking coffee and need to clean and do laundry in a bit. My ILs are all coming over tomorrow for thanksgiving, so I need to brine the turkey, make dessert, and do some other prep for that.
Today I need to run some errands and get the house cleaned. Then I'll probably go for a walk and get my nails done. Possibly make H take me on a date later. Tomorrow I will probably do what I do every Sunday: nothing. I love it.

Barney (dog) had bloody diarrhoea last night so we were on poo watch. He seemed okay so I went and played my field hockey match this morning. We were up 2-0 at half and lost 3-2. I'm gutted. Bah.
Tonight we're going to a quiz night at the friends which is doubling as a holiday party. I'm wearing my cute holiday sweater dress.
DH is getting me coffee and the ingredients for biscuits and gravy. We plan to have a lazy day. We tried to sleep in but both of us woke up at 7. Whomp whomp.

DS slept in the bed with us, for the second time ever. He slept until 8 this morning. He is also feeling better today so yay.
We have no plans for today. I will probably make a grocery list for shopping tomorrow and get DS's Christmas list made up and give it to his God Mother.
I slept better last night than I have all week, but my throat feels like it's on fire. Fucking sinus drainage. I am so sick of being sick.
There's a guy coming over to give us a quote to fix and replace fencing, so I'm up early to deal with that.
DH wants to return our leased car that's due next month, so we need to clean that out. He also wants to get the garage cleaned up. I think he's considering putting up Christmas lights today so they'll be ready to go when we return from our thanksgiving trip.
I'll help with some of that stuff, but mostly I plan to lay around. I've had this sinus infection for almost two weeks and I want to be in healing mode before we fly on Wednesday.
We got home around 1am from a party. I had to pump when I got home and then I couldn't fall asleep even tho I was sooooo tired. Then H starts to snore.
Now the baby is up nursing. I hope she goes back to bed ok because I am SO tired.
Awww, that's the worst. I've totally been there. Hopefully you find some time to nap today.Â
I kinda got to sleep in! Went back to bed and H got the baby when she didnt want to settle.
Thank goodness or I would have been so cranky today. Lol.
FastHandskeyslover lol. It ended up being fine - I slept until 8:30 which I haven't done since July. MIL is gone, L is sleeping, H is out getting breakfast, and I'm having coffee and watching The Blacklist.
Today we are doing some shopping for L's party, then getting H new work boots and me a winter coat. H also has a side job, so it will be a busy day, but it should be nice.
My coworker is coming by un a couple hours to pick up the washer and dryer we are selling to him. Then dd and I are going Christmas outfit shopping. I'll drop her off at my mom's after we are dine then come home and clean house and do laundry.
Hosting Friendsgiving tomorrow, so tidying & prepping today. My H is on a guys trip until tomorrow morning, but he cleaned the house before he left last night (score!). Hopefully DS can entertain himself until I take him to a birthday party this afternoon at one of those bounce house places. It's so dreary outside that I don't feel like doing anything!

Ooh the Christmas cards I want to order are 15% off through today and they have free envelope addressing going on now. I wasn't going to order quite yet because I haven't gotten pics of Roxie in her Christmas bow, but I think I need to move on this and get them ordered today. I was holding out in hopes of snow for her pictures, but I don't think it's happening any time soon.

Dance class with P, then getting fitted for santa costumes for P's school, lunch, then trying to clean up the house so that I can invade it with Christmas decorations next week.
Also, I woke up with my eye all puffy. It was itchy yesterday, so I didn't wear make-up at all. I guess it wasn't done being weird. lol
Kids woke up at 5:30, as is typical. We are watching a tinker bell movie and I'm doing some online shopping... Which is not really a great idea, but there are some great deals.
Ds1 will go to wrestling with DH and ds2 and I will head to the gym, where he will inevitably have a blowout mid-workout. Happens every week.
Can't decide what to do this afternoon. DH has plans with friends, so it's just the boys and me. I wanted to take them to a local playscape, but ds2 has an ear infection. Not contagious, but I don't want to go if he's tired and cranky... Don't want to be stuck at home, either.

I watching DH change the battery in my car. Was fine at 3 stops. 4th evil Walmart. Won't start. Clicked, but no start. Hopefully just the battery and not an alternator (no light came during the drive so I doubt it). I forgot there was a socket set in the back, gave him the magyver tool to change it with, fun. Then remembered part way through the change. At least Walmart sells car batteries and we didn't have to wait for AAA battery service.

I'm going to try to finish my Christmas shopping online today. My MIL and SIL and uncle are so hard to shop for, and H and I are out of ideas. I'll probably lounge on the couch drinking coffee and watch Gilmore Girls for most of the afternoon because I'm feeling crampy and gross.

I want to order some felted garland for my Christmas tree but don't know how much to order. If I get a tree that is about 6 feet tall, how much garland do I need? Most sellers are selling it in 6 feet long strands but I am not sure how many I would need. Any guidelines?
H went to Costco with his mom, so I stayed home and watched Grimm and went for a run. They honked at me on their way back. But H went out on another errand. Now I'm just sitting by the fan GBCNing.
I'm contemplating a trip to urgent care. I barely slept last night because I either couldn't breath, or because breathing through my mouth was making my throat hurt, and now I'm whistling even more when I cough. I want to take a shower first though, and I want my H to drive me and he's still asleep (WTF dude, it's almost 1 pm).
