DS was a mess yesterday. He has an ear infection and the antibiotics are really upsetting his stomach. He's had a case of the sad. So we were pretty much stuck at home, with the exception of a solo trip I took to the grocery store. DH ran some errands solo, too.
This morning we're skipping church and getting some fresh air. Sanity, man. I need a few household items so I may take DS to Target while DH works on installing our new security system.
We don't usually do anything special for the Super Bowl. We were invited to a party but are going to stay home.

We're heading to church and then a Superbowl party today. I also need to find time in there to make a meal plan and grocery shop for the week. I just want to stay home, I woke up exhausted this morning.
We've got 5" of snow and counting. It's supposed to snow all day here, pretty much.
We did a huge grocery run last night, so we are set. H is making eggs, bacon, and tater tots for breakfast. I have a few papers to grade, but otherwise we're just going to be lazy bums on the sofa all day.
Made pancakes, cleaned the kitchen, took out the garbage. Going to read for twenty minutes, shower, dress. Then take the kids sledding. More reading and hopefully drawing. I kind of hate myself for being such a great procrastinator. Get it done, self!!! *shakes fist*. Also, laundry and vacuuming. Hopefully, buy my ticket to fly to the West Coast.
Our plans changed since the roads are getting shitty.
We're having a pajama party and lounging on the couch all day. I promised my H that I would make him Super Bowl food since we're not going out anymore, so we'll be having a variety of appetizers for dinner.
The only plan I have is to meal plan and go to the grocery store at some point today. Luckily, the game starts right when nap time happens so I'm pretty certain I won't have to go anywhere to watch the game other than to my own couch!
H and I are waiting to fly out of Punta Cana at 9:00 tonight. We leave for the airport in 4 hours or so. I can't wait to get home and see my kidlets! Last night as my mom was driving them, DD said she wanted to go to 'mommy's house'. I can't wait to get them home and spoil them with snuggles and kisses. Vacation was fantastic, but I miss them so much!!
A note came home from daycare Friday about lice in the classroom. The dog was sick on our bedroom carpet last night. Henry wet the bed last night AND peed on my living room carpet this morning. So far the cat has behaved herself, but it isn't even noon yet. :drink:
My husband's sister/her husband host a Super Bowl party every year. I can't decide if I should go tonight or not. Everyone in the family seems to want me to come, but I kind of feel like my presence will just put a damper on what's supposed to be a party. And do they really want me to come because they want to see me, or is it that they want to see the kids?
They've done nothing to make me feel unwelcome or unloved. I'm currently second guessing every single aspect of my life. I just want my husband back. Obviously, impossible.
I couldn't care less about the Super Bowl anyway.
Go, it's not about the Super Bowl. They want you there or they wouldn't have invited you. And it very well may be about your kids too and that's a good thing. Your kids will benefit immensely from having your husbands family continue to be in their lives. They will be their link into who their father was. If they didn't like you and view you as a member of the family it would be very easy to cut you out but they purposely invited you.
Also, I'd imagine it is good to be around others that loved your husband and are grieving him much like you. Also, if it is about the kids you should see if they can be a support system for you. Maybe help you out every now and again. I don't recall reading if you have had much support but you need it now. Raising a 2 mo old and a toddler is hard under the best of circumstances and these aren't those. So get all the help you can and don't feel bad. If someone says "what can I do to help?" Don't say "nothing, you can't bring him back" say "Can you watch the kids a couple hours this weekend/ fix xyz in the house/ come over on Friday night and watch a movie so I'm not alone" or whatever you can use help with. If people are offering help, take it, they really mean it. If they aren't, ask. They will still be happy to help. I can imagine this is soooo hard but don't over think things. Take it one day at a time. (((Hugs)))
Kids were up at 6AM. Holy Hell I'm tired. I got my run in, two loads of laundry, dishes done, kitchen cleaned, mopped, vacuumed. DD & I made cookies and now H took DS to the store.

squirrelymom if the pin curls are successful, you should post a pic! I love pin curls but oh I am SO bad at executing them properly. They are the devil.
I'm laying in front of the fire, it's a lazy Sunday. The mister is on the couch playing video games which will obviously be the death of me. We just had this conversation: Me: ::stretches:: B: Sleepy? Me: Kinda. Contemplating if I want to take a warm bath, but it might cause me to nap about it... and then drown.. B: Nothing wrong with that. Me: Uh... I'm hoping you aren't really listening to me?
We just went and looked at a house that came on the market 3 days ago. It's perfect for us. Tons of space, a great yard that backs up to a small creek, all new paint inside and everything updated. The outside needs some TLC and landscaping done, but we loved it. Now I wish we wouldn't have looked at it because I can't stop thinking about it and we are so not in a position to buy or sell our own house right now. Wahhhhhh. Lol.
H is in Chicago. He was supposed to come home tonight, but flight was cancelled so now we're hoping he makes it home tomorrow. I'm doing a ton of batch cooking today; made French Onion Soup and a batch of enchilada sauce (both from Skinnytaste cookbook) plus a couple of poached chicken breasts. Now waiting for everything to cool so I can freeze it! I also got the ingredients for the Skinnytaste Baked Potato soup, but I might wait and make it later on this week.
Drunk nursewife is cracking me up. I especially like her response to the bagel post over on CE&P. Too funny.
Some asked ,e how ius the intertnet works becuase it looks like I'm digung imp[rotnat buieness. I'm importanty yo!!!!
How long before your flight? I hope you're not feeling sick or hungover by the time you have to board. The banana drinks you've been having sound tasty.
