I made Pretzel Toffee Bark today and it's awful. Boo. The sugar didn't really dissolve or turn almond colored. I tried three times and it was all bad. That last batch was as good as I could get it. I made the bark and I ate some. While the flavor profile was there, the sugar crystals ruined it. Plus, it upset my stomach. In the garbage it went. Now I have to make something else for Christmas dessert. I'm thinking peppermint bark.

At SILs house tonight I stupidly did not bring a vegetarian dish, so all I could eat was dip and desserts. It was a meatfest of meatballs, coconut chicken, kielbasa and bacon stuff. Blech
I am only home for bed time 2 nights a week. Tuesday nights DH is at work so it's just me and Pey at bedtime. But Sunday nights DH and I are both home for bedtime. We go in there together for her bath, books, etc. When I try to help with stuff she's constantly telling me "only daddy brush my teeth." "No daddy do my lotion!" "No daddy read books!" She still caves and asks to nurse. But when she finishes, she legit says "mama go away, cuddle time with daddy now!" I think it is so sweet they have their routine, but damn it hurts when she tells me to go away.
H always does mornings because I'm gone by the time they wake, so night time has always been mine. A couple weeks ago I had a hard day, so H was going to put him to sleep, and when he was in bed, I was going to leave so they could read together, and B legit started crying. I ended up doing it because we felt bad. I could tell it broke Hs heart. I think they just get used to that routine and it's hard for them to change.

Yeah. Deep down I know that's all it is, but these kids really know how to pull at our heartstrings right?
Oh and get this, I'm the only one who does nap time. Aside from DH being home for nap time once a week. She doesn't kick him out or anything!
I'm being lazy and letting Shaun the Sheep sooth Zoe to sleep tonight. I've been cleaning all day, and I don't have the patience for her antics. She'll fall asleep in front of the tv in like 10 minutes.
I think I'm not going to end up going to the mall for a picture with Santa this year with Madison. She saw him at the daycare Christmas party and while it's not a great picture, I'm not sure I want to brave the mall tomorrow after we get her from daycare. My last week at work had me working nights so I couldn't meet DH there after work.
Even if I take her tomorrow, she won't have anything super cute on as she'll have just come from daycare.
