We went to breakfast and ran errands after ds slept in an extra hour (woop!!!). Amazing how I can feel so amazingly rested "sleeping in" until 7:30 am.
Now I'm preparing spicy Italian sausages for my slow cooker since mil and fil are coming at 3 to see ds and hang. I'm also making low carb meatballs Parmesan from scratch (my first time using almond flour!), braised Brussel sprouts with pancetta and caprese stacks. Mmmmm.
Oh and I might do some laundry to catch up since I work tomorrow and Tuesday. But OMG a 5 day weekend coming up-can't wait!!!

I had big plans of getting ahead at work but I had a stomach bug Friday morning and had to get a sub. Then I spent all day Saturday in bed/on the bathroom floor. I'm just starting to feel like being productive today. I have to go in to work tomorrow and organize my library, change bulletin boards, and other stuff I was planning to do last Friday. Ugh. At least this week is break so I don't have to teach.
I did online shop for DD's christmas presents. I think she's done now. I'm getting excited to start Christmas decorating. Tree goes up on Friday!
Dh ran the philly marathon. We just got home. I'm so exhausted!
He is mad because he hurt his knee at mile 16 and it took him almost an hour longer.
That's an amazing accomplishment. Secretly I would love to train for a half marathon but I feel like I can't commit just yet. Good for your h!! But boo for a hurt knee.

Glad you're feeling better in time for your break and the holidays. You just reminded me of that one year I got a stomach bug ON thanksgiving. Horrendous day to have that. Hope you have a great week

We stayed in a hotel last night kid free and had room service breakfast and a leisurely morning. It was glorious. Now I'm in sweats and planning on not leaving the house. DD requested mac and cheese for dinner. DH is watching football.

I finished sewing my big order for the kids' store and dropped it off yesterday. Today we're sorting through, purging, and reorganizing toys. Somehow my house looks messier, but I think it'll be good. I think we have a good plan for the areas where the toy mess gets really bad. We're about to go meet DH downtown, and then I'm going to ikea and target.
We walked to the farmers market and got some breakfast and fresh fruits (and the kids favorite honey sticks) then let the kids wander through the toy store.
Now we're home and I think we'll eat lunch then either run errands or hit the park

I've been doing laundry all day so far, between clothes, bedding and hunting clothes I'm over it and I usually love doing laundry. We made homemade pizza for lunch and finished decorating our Christmas tree that we put up a month ago. Hello procrastination.
DH is on his way to work and DD and I will be cleaning house this evening. Boo.

Ugh I will be joining you in laundry hell shortly....
Every time I get up or shift in bed I get terrible cramps. So I've been laying around most of the day. Dh and dd went to the gym like we do every Sunday morning. I know some cramping is normal but my pregnant after a loss brain is on overdrive. Fingers crossed it goes away soon.

Thinking of you lexus and hope rest and relaxation gets rid of your discomfort. Hugs!

lexus I hope it gets better soon. How far along are you? I freak out every time something seems off. Which is often lately.
I am purging junk from every closet I can find today. I have a feeling this trend will continue this week. I may not be more organized when it's done, but there will be less stuff in the house and that will feel good. I need to make my list tonight so I can prioritize this week or it'll just slip on by and then I'll be overwhelmed and stressed again.
DH worked at church this morning so I took the girls for round two of sunday school, bought a coffee and read my book for an hour. In a bit we are going to the gym and I'll do yoga and we will come home for dinner. DH may take the girls swimming, we will see.
So DH just finished stringing lights all across the front of the roof and down the front post. He plugs everything in, and half of them are not working.
DH: Hun, look at these lights, half of them aren't working!
Me: Umm...so you didn't plug the strands in to test them before you put them up?

DH:
Clark Griswold?
It was totally Clark Griswold. He was out there jiggling bulbs, screwing and unscrewing, grumbling and mumbling to himself the whole time. I told him to just come in and we'll figure it out another day, or even next weekend. He's a pretty patient guy, but I was getting nervous he might blow a (both literal and figurative) fuse.
ETA: Seriously, the poor guy. He was out there freezing his butt off all afternoon. I really do feel bad for him. I'm glad I waited for him to come in to break out the wine.
lexus thinking of you, hope the cramps go away soon
DH just took DS1 to the park and they will bring back dinner. I'm recovering from last night - DH and I went out to celebrate our friends recent wedding (they got married in Italy and many couldn't make it because it was in Italy so they threw a just married party). It was basically the reception without the wedding ceremony. So much fun but my feet are killing me today - dancing in high heels rarely happens so my feet are screaming.

We had a busy day! We did Indian brunch, then haircuts for the boys who did not cry like usual, then we hit Costco which was a madhouse. Trying to get the last of the laundry done and catch up on cleaning because we have dinner guests tomorrow.
