Ugh so sorry swizz. I hope it passes quickly! I've been sitting next to DD's crib since 3:30 this morning. She WILL stay in her crib and sleep. No more morning bed sharing for us. Thank goodness she is going to daycare today so I can take a nap!
My parents are here and we have them D's room so she slept on a blanket on the floor in the living room which I find hilarious. I had to walk by her a few times and it was just like yep... there's a baby on the floor, scuse me...
IL arrive today. Luckily they are not staying with us, although that means we are their drivers until the 28 th. Why they didn't rent a car or use taxis is beyond me.
I know the feeling... My MIL let her drivers license expire and doesn't own a car soooo yeaaaaaahhhh.
At work today, blerg. Hoping I get what I need this morning so the afternoon isn't crazy. I gave them a 1pm deadline. Ugh.
Hope to run out at lunch at get stuff so I can get some projects done over the break. Our house has too many 1/2 done projects and more waiting in the wings. I wish we could move more and more.
A has school so we are not leaving for MA until afterwards. I have a million things to do, but I am sitting here watching M drum along with various versions of the Carol of the Drums.
Whyyyyyyy is my dd a sleep terrorist? Whyyyyy did she wake up at 4:45am this morning's and refuse to go back to sleep? Whyyyyyy can't she fall asleep in our bed like a normal child?
I feel like more people are sick this year than typically. I'm sorry for everyone who isn't feeling well.
I was thinking about this the other day and I don't know if it's the rise of social media, so we're all aware of anyone that's sick, or if more people really are sick.
I remember having the stomach flu over Christmas like five years in a row as a kid. It was my thing lol.
I'm just crossing my fingers, limiting where I go, compulsively washing my kids hands, and using sanitizer. I just would like tomorrow and the next day to be okay. Then we can all be sick lol.
I slept on the couch again last night. I'm so over this cold/DH's cold/flu. At least the couch is comfortable, though I could've used several more hours of sleep instead of having to get up and go to work.
I have no desire to be productive today. I guess at some point I'll need to be, but damn, I don't feel like it.
Also, I kind of blew up at DH last night. I mean, I feel bad that this shit with anthem and his sleep study is becoming a huge pita. However, I was just sort of holding it together, assuming he was going to get his magical cpap later this week, so he could rejoin the world that stays up past 8:30. Since that's not happening right now, I need him to suck it up. I cannot and will not just do everything indefinitely.
He's been getting home, playing with the kids a bit, having dinner, getting the kids down and then going to bed for the last few weeks. I am single handedly making Christmas happen and everything else. He needs to at least get his effing laundry away and not run off to work to give them every last drop of his extra energy right now. I know it makes his day go smoother if he get in there before everyone else, but shit, I need some of that work out of him too. So he woke up early and instead of going to the office, folded a shit ton of laundry.
I feel semi-bad sending E to daycare this week. I mean we don't have a choice, DH and I have to be at work, but yesterday and today she was the only one of the breakfast crew. The early walker teacher said she only had 3 yesterday. Not sure how many were in E's toddler class (they combine in the morning with the walkers).
This morning when I left E's teacher and the early walker teacher were there, so I told her to enjoy the 2 to 1 ratio.
The mom guilt has been higher lately b/c I was gone for the funeral and there's a chance I'll have to come in next week when I'm supposed to be on leave. DH is already working 1, if not 2 days next week and his company is supposed to be shut down, but he's on a special project. At least he gets holiday pay, but ugh.
I've already been to Starbucks, the local bakery, dropped DD off at daycare, gas station for scratch off lottery tickets for DH's stocking and went to another coffee joint for a gift card. All before 7:30 a.m.
Now I'm trying to relax a little before the craziness . 23 first graders 2 days before Christmas. I love my job but these are the toughest days by far.
I should not be allowed to have coffee in my car before I've had at least one cup of coffee. Since being detailed last week one spilt coffee on the passenger seat and today I spilt coffee down in the stow and go. That's going to be a pita to clean.
Today is the last day DC is open until 1/6. Good thing I never have to work these weeks! Annoying for people with normal jobs, though. I thought that all DCs were like this until a friend told me otherwise haha.
I have PT this afternoon, so M is going to DC. But I have no other plans and we're all done with holiday prep besides a trip to the grocery store and two more presents to wrap, so I'm taking it as a personal day. I was thinking about going for a walk/run, but it's icky today and like @mrsbecky I don't run in "weather." So I'm thinking coffee, pedicure, and a matinee (the movie Wild). I would like to see Gone Girl, but all the theaters still showing it are kind of a hike from here, so I'll wait for the DVD.
I was exhausted when M woke up at 6:15 am, so I fed him and then we cuddled in the bed. It was not safe co sleeping practices at all (there were blankets involved), but I didn't fall asleep. He was surprisingly snuggly this morning!

H and I have both had a stomach bug in the past two weeks, and there was an outbreak of Norovirus at a local university. I think more people are sick this year.

I'm totally jealous of the people sending their kids to daycare and going on dates ( both here and fb) with their husbands. I miss my husband. We haven't been on a date in over two years.

I woke up at 445 to do some work and DS foiled my plans by waking up at 515 and being a crab-apple. Oh well. Hard day at work today which blows but tomorrow should be fairly relaxing with my little bud.
DH and I finally figured out gifts for his parents-regifting them a knife set we got last year. He thinks they will love it, lol.
I caught the stomach bug. Up all night and feel like total shit.
Feel better. If it's the same one I had, I felt like total shit and then at 24 hours exactly I was a completely normal human being again. I hope yours doesn't stay long!
I am home today with last minute cleaning before the ILs arrive tonight. I am not super excited for their visit but it was my idea and we get 2 date nights out of it so that is nice. Finally getting my pedicure today, it will be my reward for cleaning.
Daycare is going to be closed the last week of January and I just found out yesterday. Her husband's company is dictating when they can take their vacation this next year which stinks for them. I was supposed to work 4 days that week but now I can only work one half day as that's all the vacation dh will have. I need to find backup care for this kind of thing. The family members that could babysit would have to take time off work too which I don't think is fair. Blah.
