I'm 99% sure I'm going to surprise my H with a cruise for Christmas - it would leave on Superbowl Sunday and be such a good break for us. We haven't been on a solo vacation since 2001.
He needs a passport, though, which is my only roadblock. LOL
I just looked up a minivan and it is $400 to rent for our trip. So that is out lol.
But I think we will get a carrier. Maybe just the soft kind, because lord knows we have spent to much this month already.
I've had good luck getting a good deal on rental cars on price line, but I'm not sure if you can specify the car type. It's been a while. Worth looking into.
I will use this rare opportunity to brag about my minivan. Chrysler Town and Country with Stow and Go FTW!

You can get an express passport two weeks before you leave!

I watch too much Food Network during the day.
DD and I were playing Play Doh yesterday and she said "Let's pretend we're girls who have a cooking show." Then she started making "food" and gave descriptions of what she was doing.

Today is my last day before the move! Excited, but of so much to do. I can't believe that i will be at my new place tomorrow. Well not staying there, but wednesday i will. Tomorrow night is hotel night lol

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
DH finally decided to find out more about the position at his client's office. Turns out they do want him, but weren't coming out and saying it directly out of respect for DH's current company. He sent his resume and they are very very interested. They are already asking what DH's salary requirements are. There hasn't been an interview yet, or even plans for one. Is that normal when a company wants you? They've already seen him in action since he does IT work for them, so maybe they don't really need one? I'm not sure. I've never gotten a job without doing an interview first.
I'm excited and nervous, as is he. If they accept the number he told them, or even close to it, it would make a huge difference for us!
H has Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off this year. Paid! He also has a half day on Monday. His boss said that if they are busy, they are more than welcome to stay. If they are sitting around doing nothing by noon then they have to go home. His will also play it by ear depending on how many appointments they set up for Monday. If by Saturday there aren't a lot of appointments, the shop will for sure close at noon.

I'm pretty sure Jax has croup, which I always call the croup and I finally gave up at 4 and we came downstairs to watch TV. On the upside, over the weekend I saw on pinterest an recipe for a coffee/protein shake so I made that and it was awesome.
My child is FINALLY potty trained, holy shit balls. He decided in disney he was going to start using the urinal so it all went well except for the time he apparently tried to turn around and poop.

DS is home sick so I took the day off to spend with him. When I told him I called school to tell him he was sick and wouldn't be coming today he asked me if that means he has to call my work and tell them I won't be coming in.
I love this week. The office is slow, I'm spending the day inputting time entries for last week and sending out client gifts.
I'm hopefully taking tomorrow off. KHC has been so good about adapting to life with Jack, but I know he's feeling a little isolated sometimes. So tomorrow I"m going to come to work as usual, but leave at 9am and go pull him out of school as a surprise and take him to the science center and out to lunch. I'm so excited for this; we haven't spent a day just the two of us in a long time.
This is so sweet! I love it. My dad did something similar for me when I was a kid. It's one of my favorite memories with him.
I am stressed about packing to travel this weekend. We have a small SUV (lol) and it has no space. We are bringing the dog with her hard crate because she breaks through the soft crate. Then the two kids. Our stuff, presents and then I realized we probably need to pack our winter gear as my parents live on the farm and have fantastic hill for sledding. We are not going to fit. I just know it. HALP
Should I go buy a minivan lol?
I really want a minivan. Like. I'm dreaming about them.

I woke up with the worst cold. I was at Walmart at 5am buying a humidifier and cough drops. I just want to lay in bed and be miserable but alas I reproduced.
This is the second time our group of friends have been at one couples house and a bunch of us have ended up sick. It is probably because it is cold season and we are all hanging out as a large group. However, DH and I have declared their home infected and make many jokes.
I am freaking the fuck out about going back to work. I just don't want to do it. I really want to tell DH that I just will stay home but I will be an adult about it instead. I really don't want to be.

I want a Nissan quest. Lol
I dream of the room that you have in between the front seats and the second row. It seems so luxurious. I bet I wouldn't even be able to hear those two. They certainly wouldn't be able to kick my seat. LUXURY
Alas we don't have car payments and I want to stay that way. So I will just schlep around like all the commoners with their small vehicles.
I have an ingrown toenail, I think. How exciting is my life??!!?
Ouch. I've had a few. Don't do like I tend to and wait it out. If you can't get it out yourself, go to the Doc. You don't want to put that off! I've had a few removed by my family doc, but my worst one I had to have removed by a podiatrist. I feel your pain.

Same here.
I can't wait for the day we are forced to buy new vehicles. For now we kick it in our 2006 grand Cherokee and 2003 Tahoe. Lol.
