Friday night randoms, brought to you by alcohol

[niq]

I can't just start drinking at 3:45 at my desk!

I am tired of consensus building. A good friend and I have decided that every week, everyone should get two cards that say "just fucking do what I tell you to do", which you can give to any coworker at any point. Things would be so much better.

In an hour, my mom will have DS for the weekend. I cannot wait!

[bowies]

I just finished a giant margarita at a restaurant.

Thank god for autocorrect.

Still waiting for my SS recipient to check her mail. I could send her a message on Elfster, but somehow that seems needier than constantly posting about it here lol.

My friends are getting together on Sunday, and we usually give all the kids token gifts. I could abstain, but I don't want to be the cheap auntie. I haven't bought anything yet since I'm not sure which friends (and their kids) are actually attending. I also don't have the mental energy for thinking up token gifts for the preschool set. I wish they were all old enough for McD's gift cards.

I have book club tonight which is really four of us getting together to eat, chat and have fun without kids or our husbands.

I told DH he was on dinner detail for the boys. I had hear them downstairs; this afternoon, DS1 was really pushing my buttons. He didn't want to help pick up his room and then played follow mommy around for an hour..... So annoying. I'm just done parenting tonight.

[Marmee]

My house & yard is clean...guess that means we can finally decorate for Christmas on Sunday!

We are going to a Christmas costume party tonight. The theme is 12 Days of Christmas. We are maids a milking. I am wearing a cow apron and H will be in a wig and floral apron, and will serve white russians out of a pair of fake boobs that strap onto your chest. The "nipples" are actually little taps that dispense beverages.

it is going to be amazing.

[vmars]

Nothing says happy birthday daddy quite like your toddler puking all over the dinner table. Wine me.

Oh God a baby was just born on parenthood. I'm too recent for this! #hormones

Also why does no one ever get a c section? I guess not good tv.

Wait, what season are you watching?  You may have to switch.

This is amazing. You're going to have a fun night. I'm jealous.

Although White Russians are gross. But way to really embrace the theme.

Ha season 3 finale. Luckily I'd read a spoiler already so I'm ok. Poor Julia.

Oh I was thinking of another baby.  Colic alert in season 5.

Lololol. I think I'm healed of colic anxiety. Lucy has healed me in many ways <3

I watched it last time I was pregnant and I was like "what have I done?"  Luckily Ethan only screamed when BFing.

[tulips]

I'm getting K nursed to sleep and then we are cooking our anniversary dinner...

Filet with crumbled bleu cheese, asparagus, roasted rosemary potatoes, and brownies. H opened a bottle of Turley Zin earlier and I'm ready for a glass!

I really like them and normally I hate vodka.

I am channeling my inner Dude.

I am so glad to hear this.

[rugbywife]

Good news for the day: My doc upped my meds by a bit. I managed to feed and put two kids down all alone, without a melt down and P wasn't entirely asleep when I put him down and I think he is out now.

Bad news: Doctor wants me to see a therapist. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Both good and bad: my dinner was two hot dogs with mac and cheese followed by mini wheats for dessert. Good cause yum, bad cause calories.

[rugbywife]

mother offer, I spoke too soon, P is not out. Gah.

Turkey is my favorite zin.  I wish I could find it more often.

[humpforfree]

Overall a pretty good day! I think we are rounding out of the tummy bug, we decorated sugar cookies with friends this morning, L took over a 4 hour nap, E napped okay (as long as I was wearing her or she had a boob in her mouth), she didn't scream in the car, H came home early from work so we got to hang out.
Attempting to nurse the baby to sleep now and then some tv. I am jealous of your wine @starry .

[vtdiamond]

I'm a little late, but I've been sucked in to Serial. I just started season 1 this week.

I want Joel as my husband I think.

I love Joel. Luckily DH had a man crush on him too so it wasn't too awkward when we watched the show together and I gushed about my love of Joel. He had some of the best one liners in the show, is hot and a super involved dad <3.

[bowies]

I'm so happy DD2 was your healing baby @starry. I want to party with page.

[bowies]

I am feeling no pain tonight wheeeeee.

You can add my H to the WTF were they thinking list. He ordered fajitas tonight that are LIT ON FIRE tableside.

I watched Parenthood on mat leave and had a sex dream involving basically the entire male cast over 18.

[Willis Jackson]

I was The Dude for Halloween one year. DH was Walter.

[Willis Jackson]

There's a SAHD at preschool pick-up who looks just like Joel. His older kid was in DS1's class so I've been staring at him for years.

[ssmjlm]

DH is putting E to bed and I'm about to bust out some guacamole I bought today.

[spk926]

DH is out with friends so it's just DD and me. I am so tired that after putting her to bed soon I'm either going to bed myself or watching TV in bed until I fall asleep.

[blueberry10]

Thanks to the way he moves his head in his car seat, DS is kind of rocking early-Kate-Plus-8 hair. Lol.

Lots of randoms:

C is watching Big Hero 6 as a reward for all smiley faces at daycare this week.

I want something chocolate but we have none in the house. WTF, holiday season.

I ordered holiday gifts for daycare teachers and therapists on Lightning Deals rather than just doing gift cards. I now feel bad for abandoning my plan and am convinced they'll hate them.

My ON order from Black Friday still isn't here. The tracking just dropped off the radar several days ago. And my Gap order from 12/1 hasn't even shipped yet. I am annoyed.

MMM was right--I sent Christmas cards to P's doctors and therapists, and his orthotist sent me a really nice "thank you" email.

I'm glad I got my foot surgery scheduled for sooner rather than later. It has progressed really fast and I can barely move my big toe now.
