I'm not really southern... I just get sick of the same old subject lines.
Our church is hosting a parents day out with free childcare. So, I dropped off M and I came home alone to deep clean. I am loving it! I offered H to have a sex marathon which seemed pretty nice of me, but he was like "eh, but my board game group meets today..." So, we both win. He is playing games, I don't have to use my free time for sex, and stuff is getting done.
Oh, and Pandora is blasting Taylor Swift, Enrique, and Christmas songs. It's a party!
I'm having some yogurt while waiting for H to wake up. I need to get some things done around the house. The old tv is now out on the curb. Yay!! I bet H that no one will come take it, but he's betting someone will. I would be stunned. The winner of the bet gets 20 cents lol. That's how we bet on stuff - 20 cents.

Sounds like the bet I had with my husband about our old stove. He was insistent someone would pay for it. Nope, four months later no one wanted it and a metal scrapper took it away. I wish I had bet at least a milkshake on it.
I'm watching TV while I mentally prepare myself for the amount of homework I have to get done today. I also somehow have to find time to get over to the old house to get the rest of our stuff moved out and clean everything before we turn the keys in on Friday.
I want coffee, but I'm way too lazy to leave the house to get it. I need H to wake up so that I can talk him into going and getting one for me.

Trying to do some Christmas shopping online. Ordered my Christmas cards this morning. We have a hospital tour this afternoon then coming home to clean the house and have a movie night.
amaranth- Yay for a productive day! How awesome to have kid-free time!
katespade- Best of luck with your homework! Hope your DH wakes up soon and gets you some coffee!
awick14- Glad you are feeling better today! Hope you get some good news in the next couple weeks!!!
Kid-stuff below...feel free to ignore.
Rough night last night. C has been biting me like crazy and did while trying to nurse at bedtime. I gave up and basically didn't nurse him (all he wanted to do was bite). He took forever to fall asleep but not any different than other nights (he's teething so this isn't uncommon). Anyways, he was in and out for a good 2 hrs so I finally checked on him and was going to feed him. Go in and there is puke all over his crib I seriously felt like the worst mom ever. Called DH in to help change the sheets while I changed C, bathed him, tried to nurse, and finally rocked him to sleep. I got him back down in his crib after 11p and slept on the floor next to him til after 1a. I'm exhausted today. Thankfully he seems to be feeling better and is taking a nap now. DH thinks it was the salmon he ate for dinner (we all ate it though and he's had it before with no reaction). Needless to say...today will not be productive.
DH made me get up to go to the fire house. Then I had to drops friend's kids off at someone's house. I wanted to get rid of some old broken chains, single earrings and old jewelry so I wanted to go to a gold buyer. H was skeptical at first until I got paid $120 cash for a few items. Now he wants to bring in some coins lol. The rest of the day We are relaxing and I need to work on my Christmas cards.
I just finished wrapping and packaging my SS gift. It is all set to be taken to the UPS store! Eeek
I work later today so not doing anything strenuous prior to work. I have a baby shift tonight just trying to decide if I want to offer anyone a chance to go home to pick up a few extra hours... We really could use the money but I really don't want to work a lot tonight. #thestruggle lol
We finally saw mocking jay today! We also went out to lunch, which was nice. After lunch we went to lowes to look for a wreath but everything sucked and was so picked over. Has anyone found battery operated string lights anywhere? I might get a real wreath and add my own lights to it. I am totally obsessing over wreaths and I have no idea why lol.
It's official. I am sick. Have some sort of cold or something the plan was to deep clean and make my pregnant self really happy....then go watch my husbands show. I'm going to try to make the house presentable and hopefully deep clean next week. I may loosely watch football in between trying to rest. I wish I could find a house cleaner willing to come out this way to help.
Is it flameful that I have never lived in any of the southern states but I do say y'all? I grew up hearing my mom say it all the time so it ended up getting stuck in my vocabulary.
katespade yeah H checked he ended up getting an adapter for one of the two front lights we have and plugged them in there instead! Also, my friend is from SD and says y'all ALL the time! Lol

awick14- Hope you and your DH have an awesome date night! Sounds like the perfect date to me!
We have a showing tomorrow! Hopefully this is it (one can be hopeful right!?!? It has to happen at some point!)! In related news, DH was talking a lot last night about our options (move to current city we have been looking at vs. move where we really want to live which is also close to my parents). He was trying to get me to make a decision but I really feel like it's more his call since he will be the one leaving a job he actually likes (which is huge to him) to move close to my family. I honestly think both options are great fits for me so it's not that big of a deal...plus living close to my parents is so much more money and we wouldn't be able to afford a decent house (likely more a condo than anything).
Made a ton of progress on C's Christmas presents and birthday party earlier...so much for not being productive! We also had a great walk...it's beautiful outside today!
luv2rn4fun- it seems like your H is really coming around to being more open about the whole moving situation which is great. If it were us I would move to the city where he has work and it's cheaper there.
luv2rn4fun - good luck with tomorrow's showing. hopefully this is the one!
i have about 87 things to do tomorrow and need to figure out what my priorities are. right now H and I are drinking beer (cider for me) and watching football.
wanderingenough mockingjay was good, overall I enjoyed it. It was definitely more somber than the rest of the movies, which if you've read the books is no surprise. My H said it was his least favorite of all the Hunger Games movies, FWIW. I liked it though, but I'm not overly critical of movies, lol!
I'm feeling crappy today. I think it more because of AF then anything else. My cramps are so bad. Nothing is helping them. I'm trying to finish most of my Christmas cards but H keeps distracting me. Hopefully after dinner I can get them done.
