I work a half day today and then am technically off until the Tuesday after Christmas! I'm so excited! I will have to do some work while I'm off, but at least I'll be home or with family the whole time.

I am so very tired and I actually slept well last night. Ella is going to lunch and a show with my brother tomorrow. I have so much to do, but I'm probably just going to nap all day. My poor husband wants to go out for lunch and have some togetherness. Let's nap together....with him on the couch so I can starfish the bed!
I hate the video people keep posting on facebook about the kids that have to choose between presents for themselves or presents for their parents. I know they eventually get both, but it's still mean.
It's Star Wars day! I'm heading over to volunteer at DS 1's school for a little bit, then swinging by the house to pick up H before we go to the awesome theater where we have reserved seats.

I am in a very uncomfortable situation with a co-worker that just needs to end. I don't want to get in to details but it's work related and causing me so much stress I can't sleep. I need a break. Looking forward to time off for the holidays.
DD has yet again misplaced the fleece inner part of her winter coat. And of course it's actually supposed to get cold this weekend. Her assignment today is to check EVERYWHERE she can think of at school for it. Grrrr.
There was an Amazon box on my front porch when I got home from dropping kids off, at 7:25am. We normally don't have any deliveries until 3pm at the earliset. I'm pretty sure UPS/FedEx/USPS drivers HATE this time of year.
I AM AT WORK AND SO EXCITED TO BE HERE! lol It's such a beautiful thing. My kid is like 90% better, but DH is home with him to eliminate any chance that DS would pick up something else and be sick all next week. I am NOT havin that. And ssssoooo far (this is so dumb of me), I feel ok, so I'm hoping I avoided getting his RSV.
I am seriously just so happy to have a normal day, to work and then go home, instead of taking care of a sick baby all day and THEN going to work. Omg, bliss. I have SO much to do around the house and errands that I would've been doing at lunches this week that are somehow going to have to get done today and this weekend, so I should really be stressing more, but the joy is winning right now. lol
We're working half day today, with a big fat work sponsored lunch. I'm looking forward to it, but also considering ordering a salad so I can eat quick and split. I'm over work this week.
Going out with the BF tonight to do some shopping and have dinner.
I'm going to a consult for my first tattoo today! The artist I liked had an immediate opening (I'm assuming from a cancelation since I was expecting to have to wait a few months).
I passed out at 7 pm last night. The kids went to bed and fell asleep right away because they all feel like crap too. I kept slipping in and out of weird dreams about Paw Patrol toys, then I woke up at 10 all confused, and stayed awake for a few hours. Going to bed early didn't work out like I hoped it would, lol.
Santa was working the public parking deck booth yesterday.
I told him this was truly unexpected. He replied that it just goes to show that you should ALWAYS be on your best behavior because you never know when Santa is watching.
I'm in "oh sh*t I still don't have any good gifts/stocking stuffers for DH and his parents" mode. I better get creative and find some things this weekend... Just came across this stainless steel can insulator on Amazon -- which is kinda neat. I think DH would like it. I wonder if it's really better than a $1 foam koozie. lol.

It was definitely wear your Christmas jumper to work day in London as I've never seen so many on the tube and on the street as I did this morning. And very excited to make crab cakes tonight as I bought crab meat (freshly caught) at Borough Market today.
One of the people in my department is an extreme close talker. He comes to ask if it's ok that he goes to McDonalds and was so close to me I bumped him when I went to take off my headphones. YOU ARE IN MY BUBBLE!

Today is my TWO YEAR anniversary as an employee at the animal shelter. Crazy! I've seen so many cute, wonderful, silly animals in my time here, and I've visited so many classrooms and led so many children's groups. I've met the most amazing junior volunteers - teenagers who make ME want to be a better person. I'm very lucky. It's been a fun ride so far.
My admin asst has been out and I am enjoying my quiet office. She is a chatterbox.
My ILs sent out their xmas letter and tou guuuys it is such a doom and gloom old people letter. It leads off with two lengthy paragraphs about health problems. The only happy paragraph is about us lol.

My H gave me his cold. I cough so much I feel like I can't catch my breath.
I am calling around today to find an OB and hopefully I can get an appointment before the new year.
My ds had his three year old appointment. He is 38 inches tall. I and only five foot one (61 inches). This kid is going to be taller than me when he is 7years old. Lol.

When I meet ExH today I will have DS for an entire week. I'm so thankful. I miss him so much and every other weekend during the school year is difficult for me. I get to spend some real good time with him. I already have tickets to take him to see the Grinch and a Christmas lights show this weekend.
Holy shit I saw a car run a red, almost hit a turning car and almost hit a runner. I swore loudly, Alex asked what happened...it was so scary. I pulled over to make sure the runner was ok. She was just rattled, understandable, and thanked me for checking on her. Man. My heartrate is still up.
I hate when characters in TV shows wear nearly the same outfit all the time. For example, the first one that comes to mind is Big Bang Theory. Those guys each wear very slight variations of the exact same outfit in every show. It's so dumb, I know, but it drives me crazy.
One of my good friends is getting married today and it will be baby girl's first function. It's in another town, but close enough where we won't stay overnight. I'm not sure how the breastfeeding business is going to play out. I have never had to think about how unfriendly society is to breastfeeding mothers, but it bites. The wedding is at three in one town with the reception at five in another about 15 minutes away from the church. It'll work out, but it's definitely a learning experience.
Also, the reception is in the town where I gave birth. We're going to stop by the hospital and drop off cookies and a thank you to the labor and delivery nurses. They were so amazing.
