How have we been up for an hour and a half and this hasn't started yet?
We made a tactical error last night. M and I have been up since 5, so perfect Black Friday shopping time! Except.... MIL is in our room and I forgot to take out a bra and shoes, plus her car is blocking me in. Where was your foresight, Jen??
Once again everyone in my house is sleeping but I'm up early. I don't know why I can't sleep! I think it has to do with pregnancy and the hormones.
Since I'm awake I'm debating getting out of bed and heading to Menard's for some dog beds. They have a really good sale on them. If I don't go now, I'll go a little later.
I need to get out all the Christmas stuff since we're going to decorate the house today.
C got up at 5:30 which is two hours earlier than normal. Luckily H and my dad were already up so I came back to bed. After Wednesday night, last night was amazing for C sleep wise. It's amazing how quickly the antibiotics for her ear infection kicked in!
I'm eating cereal from a balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Kids and their grandparents are asleep and my husband is out for a run. This is pretty nice.
I forgot that even though I have leave others will be at work which means I will have to do some work today. Blah, I like holidays when I generally don't have to work.
B was up all night coughing again. Today I'm going to be that FTM who takes her kid to the dr for a cough but we all need to sleep! There has to be something they can do.
Well, my boss called to tell me she was putting me on call today due to low patient census. I told her I was debating calling about the pinkeye. She said she would have sent me right back home anyway, so this works out perfect. Now I'm getting paid to be on call, rather then sent home "sick" and not getting paid.
OF COURSE all this was after I thawed 20 oz of breastmilk for the day.
Ds was up at 3:30. He went back to sleep for an hour but cried out every 20ish minutes so I didn't sleep.
We are at my parents until tomorrow night. We have no plans today and the kids are already bouncing off the walls. Guess we need to think of something to do...

We had a nice Friendsgiving with DS being the only child there. I was very nervous but it went well! Today we are getting our xmas tree and decorating which I'm very excited for. I'm also cooking a mini thanksgiving so we can have MORE STUFFING and leftovers!
My whole body hurts from this hosting Thanksgiving jazz. Like I ran a marathon sore.
Me too. H tried to put the moves on me this morning, and I was like "fine, but I'm just going to lay here", lol.
I think we're changing DD's room around today and assembling her full size bed. Don't know what else we'll do besides clean up the last of the mess from yesterday.
We were planning to go hiking today but it's 10 degrees and there's about 5" of snow on the ground in town, so probably more if we go up in the mountains at all. Not sure what to do now...
We're all still sick, and we're going stir crazy from being stuck in the house.
DS has been in the "roll over, wake, scream" phase for almost 2.5 months. I need to not give in and bring him back to bed with me (especially since I'm only getting 2-hour blocks of sleep that way, so it's not like co-sleeping is really helping THAT much), but I suck at CIO because he can cry for so long. Last night I sent DH in a few times, and every time there was over an hour of crying before he'd finally fall asleep for DH, only to repeat the process 15-30 minutes later when he rolls over again.
Was up early because of the dogs and stupidly thought I would fall back to sleep but that didn't happen. Should have dragged my ass to the gym. At least I would just be tired and not tired and feeling like a 1000 lb turkey from all the food yesterday.
Heading over to the Eastern Shore this morning which should be fun with my parents.
I was awake from 3-5:30 and Ds came in to wake us up at 7. DH tried to be all cranky but dude no. We were both asleep at 9:30 last night! Get your ass up and let me lay here.
I just complained in the MOTN thread that a 5am wake up from DD is so annoying. I don't K kw if she thinks she should be up for the day or if it's a night waking/feeding.
DH couldn't get her back to sleep, so I just nursed her still swaddled in the dark and when she was done I have her the paci and she promptly pooped and fell asleep. So now she's laying across my on the boppy asleep in poop at 540am.
I guess I'll just attempt to transfer her and leave the poop since I know she's not going to sleep that long anyway.
We are up and I'm bugging DH to take out the xmas decor.
My dad is coming to meet DD. He is not a good dad and his visit is already annoying me. He won't be here long, coming tonight and leaving tomorrow afternoon.

DS and I are taking my mom to the local Children's museum and then later I'm having dinner with my aunt before heading home to my husband. I've missed that hairy guy.
I'm dying for it to be Sunday so we can put up our new tree and listen to Christmas music together.
I am so freaking excited to bust out my Christmas decorations today!! DH has to work and I don't think he knows what he's coming home to.
We had such a fun day yesterday, and got to take DD sledding at the lake house. She loved it! Good thing too, because Santa is bringing her a new sled.
