My MIL just told us that we're exchanging presents. Well, fuck. Thanks for the heads up. Luckily, she and her husband are alcoholics that want and need for nothing, so I'm getting them a case of two buck chuck. (Last year, they had us bring FOUR cases with us when we went to visit. They don't have a Trader Joes near them) I cannot stand this woman. I'm happy that I live seven hours away.
I have to do Christmas with my dad's side of the family on Tuesday and I have no gifts for any of them. I don't know what I am going to do! I am like fresh out of ideas this year, my dad is one that if he wants something he goes out and gets it, they have everything.
I hate Christmas this year so much. I am the grinchiest grinch this side of whoville. I'm pissed off at my husband for inviting his whole fucking family over for TWO days/nights of festivities and not understanding why I find that to be a burden (because he won't help with any of the shopping/cooking/cleaning). C just pulled over our tree and broke a ton of sentimental ornaments (like Teamhayes, we collect ornaments from each place we travel to).
We all have a cold, but S has a man cold, which is MUCH worse than what C and I have - even though he's the only one who can medicate - so he's whining on the couch while I clean and prep.
I started the 2.5 hour process for pioneer woman cinnamon rolls. No going back now.
You are awesome they look perfect. I pinned the recipe then ended up buying a can of pillsbury
It actually was very simple just took a lot of time. If anything just make the frosting. It is delicious. I am freezing them complete and will just have to thaw, bake and eat!!

A female "friend" just posted something ridiculous about being offending because she has to sit next to a nursing mother while on her break. She called it rude and offensive, basically saying that the woman should have pumped and not be so open about bfing in public because EW. I usually don't have comments like this on my fb nor do I typically respond but I couldn't help my self. I get it, if you have never been around bfing and you aren't a mother it might weird you out a bit but to call the mother rude and offensive for feeding her child was so out of line. I was polite and told her why someone might not want to pump. I really wanted to tell her to shut up. People can be such idiots.
Were going to ikea on a Sunday before Christmas wish us luck.
Godspeed. We just finished at Costco. Madhouse
Our ikea is in the same parking lot as costco. It sucks. But I left kids and hubby in the car ran in got my shelf and easel. I forgot to get the stepstool but didn't want to run upstairs. Overall pretty painless but hubby is still grumpy none the less.
for those of you that got christmas pjs or a box on christmas eve growing up - who was it from? We are trying to figure out our story... for now I wrapped it in the same paper as the advent books he's been opening but I need to figure out who it's from more for next year.

It was always from Mom, and the same will be for J. Its a gift from us to him that he gets to open Christmas Eve. But I don't wrap Santa gifts or use special paper for particular things.

Pjs were from our parents, plus we opened one family gift Christmas Eve. Santa only fills stockings and brings his gifts for Christmas morning - nothing before.
This year we had our Elf bring their Advent calendars...that's the first time any incarnation of "Santa" had brought something prior to Christmas morning
My sister wrote back that she wants to know what terrible thing she did to me 6 years ago that add me cut her out of my life. You've got to be kidding me..... She is so ridiculous. She blew me off. Ugh... Here we go...
... I know you're hurt but I can only imagine that her hurt is just as deep. Maybe she didn't want to burden you with that, maybe she just couldn't handle it. I don't know - I KNOW it hurts you, and I said before in your previous post that I was (am?) in a strangely similar situation but from speaking to my SIL the burden and hurt of IF had to keep them away from us. I still very much feel pain about the situation but you really need to move on one way or another. Either stop letting it cause you pain and forget about it, the best you can, or let the relationship be saved. Recognize that the pain wasn't just with you. I am not trying to minimize your pain, FWIW. But you aren't going to fix this by focusing on what happened in the past because you'll just go back and forth.
We just landed and Sydney did great in the Cares harness! She stayed contained and it was awesome! Her bunny was very safe also. Thanks jenbelle for letting us use it!
We just got done at the American Girl Store and bistro. It was a surprise and my sister and grandmother met us there, so all four generations of women in our family were there. Abby had a blast.
Calebs havingfun for the most part, but I think my stepdad is getting annoyed wth his free-spiritedness and activity.
We could use some T&ps. Last night my mom told us she had an ultrasound to see if she has uterine cancer. She's okay (my mom is the perfect combination of faith and Pollyanna). My stepdad is scared, though, because his first wife died of the same thing. I won't think of how I am until her results come in. Right now I'm just praying and trying not to think about it.
They last time my mom gave me big news before Chrismas was when she told me my dad wa having an affair, and that didn't turn out too well either.
