I am up way too early for a day off. I woke up at 6:30 for no reason and haven't been able to go back to sleep since.
I need to pack and then we're heading off to Amsterdam with my parents for a long weekend! I have to admit their visit has been a lot better than I was expecting.
Happy Friday! I got these awesome Hawks earrings from my SS. I love them!!!!!
I'm feeling like a pretty crappy wife. Last night, I told my husband to go away, and asked if he could go find something to do tonight so I could clean the house. Our house is really really small (it's a great first home), it also makes it really hard to do anything when the other person is around. I'm stressed out because we have packing for our trip, my cousin made me a little anxious because she keeps harassing me about traveling light. I know I posted previously about how much I have packed so far, but I got it to all fit into a carry on. Then there's cleaning and organizing the house because we will be gone for 3 weeks. Then there's cleaning and purging so we have room to do a couple upgrades to the house for the re-fi.
Add me to the up too early list. I wish I didn't suck at sleeping in!
H came into bellevue last night and we did HH and knocked out a bunch of shopping. We are done for my family. We also drank a lot, haha. Came home and watched White Christmas. I feel much more in the holiday spirit now
I took today off and got most of my gifts wrapped already. It helps that most of them came from Nordies and didn't really need wrapping because they give you those pretty boxes.
We need to do some cleaning and dig out the Christmas decorations and make some space for the tree that we are finally getting tomorrow. I have PT this afternoon and a few more gifts to purchase. If the rain stops we want to go see the lights at the botanical garden.

I normally work from home on Fridays but we had our holiday breakfast so I came down for that. The hour drive wasn't worth it. Going to work for a few hours and then head home. The kids get out early today - E is going to a friend's house and P has a friend coming over so I need to pick them up from school. Thinking of taking them to Full Tilt for some pinball.
The vet is supposed to call us today with the results from Tucker's blood work. Then hopefully we can get him started on the meds to slow the cancer growth. I'm feeling better about things. My biggest fear is he will go downhill fast, while we're out of town and he's at our house with a relative stranger (the dog sitter). H keeps reassuring me that is VERY unlikely. I've also been reading some stories online of dogs living over a year (some over 2 years) with this once they start treatment. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but also feeling like we may have more time left with him than I've been thinking. But he did have an accident last night so we'll see. Kind of a roller coaster but at least I can talk about it without balling (and I am NOT a pretty crier).
@aellasbeth that is extremely frustrating. I'd think it would be illegal for them to be this late in paying you? Is there anything more you can do?
minion don't be hard on yourself. It's a stressful time of year and you have some additional things going on to add to the stress. I'm sure he understands.
At PT, the therapist finally decided to look at my pelvis since I've been complaining off and on for more than a month and a half about pain! His conclusion, "somethings not right there, its off kilter." Yeah, foot that was on the pedal, makes sense! Oh well, hopefully we can get this worked in, too. Good thing I started going to the gym, he said people usually think they're better and quit PT and then start resuming their activities and all these other (related) injuries that were masked show up.
Managed to get stuff done at home, too! Worked on the Christmas cards and made H help with assembly, cut and wrapped half the caramels (that's time consuming), worked on a present for a friend, AND loaded and partially reloaded the dishwasher, go me!
In sad Christmas news, part of a strand on the bottom of our pre-lit fake tree is just DEAD. They're the kind that don't go out if there's a problem with one bulb but I traced the wiring and it goes from lit bulb to dead rest of the strand and there's no sign of damage to the wire! We're just going to turn it to the wall and pretend that it's not lit there so Ivan has a darker space to sleep but I'm a tad bummed. Isn't helping with my lack of decorating desire.
Today is day one of birthday celebrations in our house. I am trying to making it fun for M since H is working today, but I think tomorrow we are going to try and do all the fun stuff even though it's J's birthday tomorrow. Should be crazy. I also have a dinner date tonight that it's all I can currently think about. I am going on a dinner date with my bff like we used to do when our H's were deployed. So I am excited and looking forward to some mexican food.

I'm sitting in mycar because K is sleeping and I need to go pick up d in a little bit. Its really funny because k doesn't have pants on (fell in the mud at the horses) and he has butter and bread in his lap from my work. Not much else here today, going to make chicken soup for dinner.
