It's a good day! L slept until 6:03 this morning which is more than an hour later than his norm! Best of all, it's our "H takes L to the inlaws" weekend so I can get a break. I have plans to finish up my shopping, start wrapping, finish my cards, and start baking. I will also stay in bed for 10 glorious hours! I can't wait! I'm so glad we started doing these weekends. It's win-win for every one really. L and my inlaws adore each other and they are so good with him. I get a much needed break and am able to get stuff done. My H ends up with a break too as his parents do most of the toddler entertaining and he gets to hang out with his friends who still live in his hometown.
We got up about 7 and I'm just hanging out with DD. I cried again yesterday and last night about going back to work this week. HR called to confirm my return and it's 1 day earlier than I thought:( DH and I laid out a financial plan of what goals we would need to hit before me staying at home and how we can meet them quickly. I don't know how long I will last back at work.
ETA: I just noticed I became a senior member. Thank you ML, lol.
DD woke up, but is playing in her crib, so I'm sitting in my glider holding DS. If only I had coffee.
We ordered a new vacuum for Christmas, but I really want to use it now. I think that makes me officially old.
I really want to lose the baby weight, but I really want to bake cookies today. I think the cookies might win.
I bought a bunch of baskets yesterday to organize because I always think I need baskets, but now that I have them I have no idea what I want to put in them.
DD is playing racket ball with a neighbor. I'm assuming he's going to be either really motivated when he gets home, or completely useless.
CD 39, NOT pregnant, no signs that a period is coming. Seriously, what is going on with my body? At what point should I worry? My typical cycles are on the short side, like 25-27 days max.

I just slept 8 solid hours with no interruption. DH's company party was last night in the city. We took the day off and came down here after we dropped the girls at daycare. We did some shopping, wandered around to the different Christmas displays, and had a nice lunch. Then hotel sex, a bath, and the party. We cut out early, came back and got changed and walked over to the river rink. Went ice skating until midnight, then drank spiked hot chocolate around a fire pit. Going to pick up the girls after we get breakfast. I desperately need to pump. Getting our tree today!

We are going to the local Girl Scout pancake breakfast and then heading to CT for Hanukkah with H's family. We have been waiting for an engagement announcement from BIL and we got a text last night that his gf won't be coming because it's over and he will tell us more today. there's no way he is joking about it either. I am so sad for him. They just bought a house together this summer.

Another day, another trip the the pedi. This is trip #3 for whatever this god awful sickness DD has had now for 2 straight weeks. She is covered in a rash now, I'm assuming from antibiotics. My poor baby just can't catch a break.
C slept in until 7:30 and now we're watching Cars. I've created a monster who loves movies, but I'm having a hard time caring because he's happy.
Afterwards we're going to bake banana bread, hit up Target, and then nap. H gets off work at 2, which is right around when C will be up from nap, then we'll drop him at Grandma's and have date night!
First night in awhile that I didn't wake up with coughing fits. And DD slept through the night so my full boobs woke me up this morning.
We are heading to breakfast with Santa at DS's school this morning. Should be interesting. He said yesterday "I don't wanna see Santa. I don't wanna see his face." Lol. At least DD should be cooperative!
Tonight we have a work related gala. Fortunately a formal dress I already have fits, because I did not want to have to buy a new dress for it.
Despite DS being awake intermittently from 4-630, we are in a good mood. I made really delicious cinnamon pancakes and now we are watching Olaf moomie for the 145th time.
Heading to a birthday party later for my niece and then who knows what
Ok my mailman must hate me. I just got a notice that a package was delivered Wednesday. Except it wasn't. And today is Saturday. This is the second lost package with the post office.
I want it to be Christmas already! DS keeps saying "Christmas is sooooo faaaaar awwwwway" and I'm like, I feel you little man. I have so many good gifts to give! I can't wait to see DS's face light up. And I know DD will love her new lion lovey. Plus CINNAMON BUNS on Xmas morning! DH hates sweet things for breakfast, so it's a rare treat. And DH says I am going to "have a really good Christmas" this year, so hopefully he's got some good gifts planned. Hurry up Christmas!
I think this is the first Christmas in my life I am legitimately more excited to give gifts than receive them. I have several gifts I know each member of our family is going to love. I can't wait to give them!
The mail person is going to hate me today. I have so many online orders from the last week and so many places (Kohl's, I'm looking at you!) send the orders in a bazillion separate packages. According to tracking, I am going to get so many packages today. Luckily the weekend person is different than the weekday person- I feel like she already hates me.
Wedding update : rehearsal at 3pm on Wednesday and BIL is mad his siblings can't make it. Just got told they have a reception (that's what they called it) at 6pm before the RD at 7pm. If we go to the "reception" would it be too weird for us to eat? Ds1 goes to bed at 7....BIL is going to throw a fit when he finds out we can't make the dinner.
