Dinner was delish and the turkey was especially gorgeous since DH has been watching carving videos on YouTube and has mastered his skill. We're now at home and watching football while eating pumpkin pie (had to take it to-go due to DD's bedtime).
I'm at work. I guess it hasn't been too bad but I am so ready to leave. So tired. Have to work my new/regular job at 8. At least I have the weekend off.
Truthfully though, I was glad to leave the house. Talk had turned to J in daycare and how he's been sick in some way, shape or form for then last month. My dad says he'll help pay for a nanny if we don't want to send him there anymore and H's grandparents said that being around all those other kids and the nasty toys isn't good for him. Oh, and that we need to be sure that we are checking him for bruises every day. OMFG, I AM SO SICK OF BEING QUESTIONED ON EVERYTHING WRT MY SON! It's good for him to be around other kids, he'd be getting sick at some point anyway, probably kindergarten where he'd be missing a lot of learning. Oh, and they are not fucking abusing him! Good lord. I didn't think we'd be getting this much pushback from putting him in daycare. Sorry we can't afford for me to SAH, and I wouldn't want to anyway. Next time it comes up I'm swear I'm going to tell them to fuck off.

We had a low-key nice day. In the morning, we watched the parade and DS1 and DH played in the snow building a snowman who will most likely be melted tomorrow and my sister came out.
Dinner was yummy and both boys were really good.
My sister had been in the fence about wanting kids at all, but she told me that she's done a lot of soul searching and she does want kids and that DS1 has played a role in that decision. It's one of the nicest things she's even said to me.
Now life would be perfect if DS2 would go to sleep. I'm tired.

I much prefer to host or go someplace else because hello booze and football and only one set of my parents are there. My little bro hosted for the first time and had both my parents with their spouses and his future in laws. So fsil's family was mostly 1.5 hours late and we waited at least that last half hour to start eating because of this wtf. And then they all stayed in the house the whole time watching some loud as shit movie while we all hung outside, 80 degrees. Food was good and nice time with my family for the most part. Oh and my stepdad had to get in an argument with me about tobacco companies marketing to kids lol (yes they do).

My brother and his wife brought food over and cooked for us. My mom had been staying here for the past week waiting for me to have a baby, and my stepdad came out too. So a nice low key day where food appeared and I could have a beer. We now have a ton of leftovers, yay! Everyone has gone home. Alone for the first time as a family of four. Here we go!
carolinagirl831 congrats on the second dd! I can't imagine my dd not having a sister like I have, and if phantom baby #2 is a boy, I'll probably push for #3 on hopes of having a girl.
Annnd, because I'm tipsy, WAKE UP you east coast evening random people!!!! You stay an evening randoms thread when it's still afternoon for me (and in usually on mountain time, not pacific). It's only 8:38pm pacific time and imma need people to engage in this randoms thread. Lol!
