Lady Gaga tonight! I'm going to need some coffee after work to help me rally. FSIL and FMIL got in last night just before midnight. We left the door unlocked for them, but of course our dogs barked at someone coming into the house. Which, of course I'd like them to. And they settled pretty quickly so all in all it was the best I could have hoped for. But it still meant waking up and having to go back to sleep in the middle of the night which always messes me up a little for the next day.
I think I feel FI's cold trying to get me, I have that just slightly spacey head feeling, but I'm pounding Vitamin C/Zinc supplements like they're magic weight loss pills.
Also, I bought these mini scones the other night at the store on a whim because they were sitting there and looked good and I had 3 left this morning. I brought one to work and hid the other two in the pantry so the guests don't eat them. I'm really looking forward to having them with my coffee in the morning. And I'm not sharing. And I don't care if that's rude, lol.
I need two white elephant gifts for an exchange DH and I are doing with friends on Wednesday, and I'm feeling uninspired. I kind of want one nice thing and one ridiculous thing, for a group that skews geeky. It doesn't seem like it should be hard. If nothing else it's an excuse to browse the interesting finds section on Amazon all day.
DH and I have been together 16 years today. I feel very old.
My sister was supposed to come visit this weekend and we were going to eat pizza and donuts, but now it's going to snow so I have to eat them all myself. Unless my postmate wants to hang out lol.

I've put it off long enough that I don't think I could order from there without paying a ton for expedited shipping, but it's a great site for ideas, thanks for reminding me of it!
We're supposed to go to Christmas Town tomorrow at the local amusement park and the forecast is cold and snow. OMG this could totally suck since the tickets are already bought and paid for and you had to pick a date. I'm just hoping the weather means less people will venture out.

I woke up at 4am with terrible cramps and a heavy period. I haven’t been able to get back to sleep. I just made some tea and put a LOT of cannabis tincture in it. Maybe I’ll conk out for the rest of the day...
H has been sick and I have a sprained ankle so I feel like we’ve been falling apart around here.
H went to work yesterday (He called in Monday and Tuesday and already had Wednesday off) but was complaining again this morning. I went right to the CVS website and made him an immediate appointment at the minute clinic and told him to just GO. He has walking pneumonia. I feel like a jerk because he’s been unbearable since he got sick and I’ve been so annoyed with him.
My first job out of college was a teaching job at a private boarding school. There was a woman what was in charge of the girls program and she was just awful. Gossipy, bitchy, just an all around awful person.
I just read a review of her from rate my teacher and OMG those kids are tearing her up. Apparently she got a DUI at one point, but was able to get it removed from her public record. The kids are putting it all out there for her, and it just couldn't have happened to a nicer person... lol
We have a snow day! I live in south Louisiana so this only happens like once a decade, lol. Everything shuts down when it does happen, though. We've gotten over 3 inches and it's still coming down. My pup didn't know what to think!

They have a lot on amazon !
I just bought a collapsible water bottle and a set of tricerataco holders on Amazon after seeing them on unCommon Goods!
While I would get more use out of the water bottle, I think I'd want the taco holders, lol.
Night 1 of no pacifier for L did not go as badly as I expected. She didn't fall asleep until after 10 because she was blatantly refusing, and she also cried a little bit and was just SO SAD (also exhausted), but she only woke up once looking for them in the middle of the night, and went right back to sleep when she snuggled her unicorn instead.
They are calling for 1-3 inches of snow tomorrow, and I really hope people won't not show up for L's birthday party. It's not supposed to be bad at all, so I am hoping everyone who is supposed to come will come.
I'm home with Abby today because she's not feeling well, and I just saw a paper from Caleb's backpack. His daycare (enrichment kindergarten program) wants the kids to do a "Holiday Traditions" poster. They even say it needs to be a full-size poster. It needs to be finished by Thursday and they suggest we do photos, scrapbook stuff, etc.
He's five. I get that they want us to do it as a family, but this is clearly a parent project. Plus, I can't think of any special traditions we do as a family. This is the first year we're not traveling to see family.
I’m really embarrassed for my brother and SIL. -hosting their own baby shower & said it’s BYOB. -asked people to bring books instead of cards AND a gift. -posted on FB they started a college fund for the baby and asked people to add to it.

I had some extra time before a doctor's appointment today, so I went to get my eyebrows waxed. I managed to fall asleep on the table during a five minute service where they put hot wax on my face and rip it off.
Clearly, I need to take a Unisom tonight and ask H to get up with DS in the morning.

How are you doing? I think of you often.
Thank you-- you're so sweet! I'm hanging in there. This week is incredibly tough mentally because I'm 5 days away from the time in pregnancy where we lost our first son. On the flip side, I'm just a week away from being halfway done. Bedrest got stricter (no sitting, quick showers, etc), but things have been stable for the last two weeks. Baby is incredibly active so it's nice to know he's hanging in there. Only 16 more weeks of bedrest! (LOL omg awful)

Are these the ones that made some very questionable choices for their wedding too?

I remember crying the entire week leading up to the time frame we lost our oldest son. I had convinced my self it was happening again. H was a saint that week. It's an emotional roller coaster. I will continue to think of you and your sweet boys. Enjoy your pizza and donuts.
