Last day in the office for the week. Leave for FL 1st thing in the morning. I was saying to H last night that it is the first time I regret leaving my old job because I could of also taken the the following week off as well. He then reminded me that after 6 straight days with M I will be pretty excited to got back to work :-). I will plan to WAH a couple days next week though.
H also tried to make me feel guilty for going out with some old co-workers/friends tonight for the a holiday get together because it is also my b-day. Dude, I never celebrate my b-day, you have to work late tonight any ways and we still have finishing packing for our trip. Don't try and pretend you are the loving H who wanted to do something for my b-day. Ha.
I feel weird giving my DCP 20's from the ATM so I need to stop at the bank on the way home to pull out some 50's or maybe even 100 dollar bills. I don't know why but that seems better than a bunch of 20's in a card, right?!
I am off today. P is in daycare and H is going to a friends place to hang out and play video games all day. Which is good because he's been in 'teaching mode' all weekend and he thinks he's being helpful but I don't really need another lecture on how to split an English muffin thanks.
So an entire day at home, by myself, and it's dark and rainy and I love it.
My H has been in this getting things done mode and keeps saying "If you really want to be helpful, you'll......" I'm ready to kill him.
This is going to be my plan when we go stay with my parents next weekend. Got too lazy to bake my own.
They're such a pain in the ass. Esp bc H's gluten free crust is a PITA to roll out bc it cracks.
I've decided to make Mary Berry's mincemeat tray bake for Christmas instead. My mil made a puff pastry thing last year that was delish but Not gluten free.

Last night I was talking to my husband and asked if he had plans to go shopping this week with the kids. He was like why would I do that? I then said I didn't know if the kids had been there shopping yet. He then got this look on his face and said that yes maybe they would go shopping. Way to go husband, just forget that the kids should get me a present! Maybe next year, I'll just ask my mom to take them and give her some cash. Nods is at an age where she likes picking things.
I just want to wake up one morning and not see Donald Trump in the headlines. I am so sick of hearing his voice and hearing anything about him. I know it will just get worse over the course of the next year, I don't know if I can handle it. Also I have realized I am always over stressed Monday mornings. I feel like everything is in chaos, the house is a mess, we are always behind. I meal plan on Mondays then clean the kitchen after work and by Tuesday I am better. At least I am realizing this instead of stressing too much.
I am off today. P is in daycare and H is going to a friends place to hang out and play video games all day. Which is good because he's been in 'teaching mode' all weekend and he thinks he's being helpful but I don't really need another lecture on how to split an English muffin thanks.

H does this too, and it drives me nuts because 90% of the time I have to BEG him to get things done, and his inspiration is always when I have zero. If my glare were lasers he'd have a hole in his head.

DD1 didn't swallow her amoxicillin this morning and proceeded to hold it in her mouth until she couldn't any longer and spit it all over herself. Ruining a pair of brand new Pjs (and of course they were HA).
I had to walk away because I was so mad. This is day 5 of the medicine. It's not like she's never taken it before and she has no issues with the taste. She was just screwing around. I'm over today and it's only 10am.

I am taking tomorrow off and sending the kids to daycare so I can clean the house before Christmas eve, and return our massive stash of cans and bottles and bring recycling in, etc. I am secretly excited and am hoping that my H will be out of the house too so I can listen to podcasts as I work.
Our coffee maker died this morning. Womp womp. Now do we buy another Mr. Coffee or splurge for a nicer one? I'm looking at a Bonavita as recommended by ATK - anyone have input on this one?

I do 20's because I'm lazy! No one's complained yet
We were late to daycare because we had to stop at the pedi for a doctor's note about his amoxicillin rash. I forgot to fill out DS's drop off sheet. His poor teachers have no prior warning that he is primed for a blowout, oops.
While we were at the pedi, the fire alarm went off so we had to evacuate. Abandon all strollers and walk the 4 flights down to the lobby. Fun times.
Well... today is day 1 of the 3 day method for H and L. I am opting out for now- too much to deal with that and the newborn at once. It was H's idea, so he can follow through. Lol. The book does say 22 months is the ideal age and he is spot on 22 months, so maybe we will get lucky. I'm only going to have the baby for groceries/errands this morning. It will be weird!
Really? 22 months? That seems so young.
Ds1 shows a lot of interest in the potty (asks to sit, we've had a few successes, etc) but idk if I can deal with a newly PT toddler right now. They will start putting them on the toilet at school (10hrs/wk) in January so maybe I should get DH to do this ?
Last night was a fucking disaster. He didn't go down until midnight and even then it was for 1 hour stretches. So damn it I'm buying another swing today !

Omg it drives me crazy when DH gets in those moods! Enjoy your lovely day alone

I have a cold and just want to go back to bed, but have so much to do to prep for this week. I rushed around this morning getting cash to contribute to the daycare group gift and Wawa gift cards for our trash, recycling, and mailman. Which made me realize when I got home that maybe I should get a gc for the UPS guys? They've been here quite a lot recently and always wrap our packages in a trash bag if it's raining.

I volunteered my husband to judge my school's Lego League event today. I will look involved, and like a team player, but I won't have to sit through the event. Win/win.

Sorry sleep has been so rough namasteak. Our swing is on its last legs too. It was a hand me down to us 5 years ago and we've used it through 3 kids and even had a friend borrow it in between ds2 and DD. It's so slow and the motor sounds like it's working so hard, even with fresh batteries. I'm just praying it holds on for a few more weeks until we see how the crib transition goes for naps. She naps so well in the swing, I'm scared!

Yeah. I thought it was young too & am dreading dealing with a newly pt toddler out & about, but H was all gung ho about it, so it is all his deal this week and next. Hopefully by the time I am alone with him again in a couple of weeks he will either be pretty confident, or they gave up.
