1. This board is super slow these days, its a huge part of the reason I haven't been posting.
2. With that said I miss you guys, a lot.
3. Julie travels a lot for work, its really difficult for me.
4. I'm going to Sacramento in Jan for a surprise bday party. My great aunt has no idea that my sisters and i are coming. I'm so excited.
5. Christmas is my absolute favorite, but i haven't been in the spirit much lately.
6. I am suppose to eat gluten free, this is harder for me than I'd like to admit.
7. We are moving to a new place come Janruary. This expense is huge.
8. I very desperately need a parttime work from home job.
9. I hate Dave Ramsey for his religious views and stand points, but I have to say his money management system works. We are paying of debt, small ones but hey it's something.
10. We are going to take his financial peace university courses, even though they are at a church.

1. Just ate leftover chipotle. Now my mouth and belly are on fire and I need a nap.

2. i love how excited the kids are for Christmas...

3. ...but we're still working on the generosity of the holidays and not the want, want, want...

4. Facilitating the last group of the year tonight. I am excited because I think people will have a lot to talk about tonight since we skipped last week due to the snow that didn't happen.

5. I would like a good snowfall. These dustings/traces/1" are for the birds. A good 6" would be nice. Not too much, but plenty for the kids to play in.

6. I think Christmas shopping is nearly done sans a couple of things that I need to get this weekend. can't wait to go to a mall the weekend before Christmas. Ugh.

7. Have you seen the Christmas Pajamas video by the family? Awesome. I wish I had the guts to do something like that.

8. I am getting more and more gray hair...I blame the kids.

9. I love that the kids are big readers. C's teacher said that if she let him, he'd sit in the reading corner all day and read.

10. Ricki - If you want to see movement on this board post and respond! It only gets moving if people do more than lurk. It looks like you've been MIA for quite a while now and it has only been pretty recently that it has been really dead. So get posting and replying!

1. Butterfly, I have been thinking about you a lot. I would love to know what is going on, but I would imagine that there's a lot you're not able to say on the internet. Whatever it is, there is obviously a lot of heartbreak in your family right now so I'm sorry.

2. It's good to see you again, Rikki.

3. My growth scan today where Baby B hadn't gained enough and was measuring behind Baby A is freaking me out. Logic says it was probably just a fluke and may very well be a non-issue at my next scan in 2 weeks. But it has majorly spiked my anxiety.

4. We still own 10 vials of the donor I am not pregnant with...and somehow need to decide when we're ready to commit to trading them for this donor.

5. We both have a week and a half of vacation starting on Monday, at home (both sets of parents are coming to visit at different times), and I'm really excited for it.

6. I got A's in the two classes I took this fall. I want this stupid degree to just be done. I have no clue how we're going to afford for me to finish it.

7. We have yet to tour any daycares or even really make a definitive plan about whether to use daycare. This is a combination of being too busy to deal with it and too terrified to make plans.

8. I cannot come up with a good birthday present idea for my wife.

9. I have my 1hr glucose screen tomorrow.... getting diagnosed with gestational diabetes just in time for Christmas sounds fun, right?

10. Work. I need to get paid. But doing work is nowhere on my emotional priority list right now.

It's been forever since I have been around. I'm not even sure if you guys remember me! I was "jennandmel1024".

1) It's taken me a long time to feel like I can belong here again since the split.

2) I miss Jenn like crazy on most days but then remember why we split up. It's been a very painful year to say the least.

3) My baby boy turned 2 in November. How in the world did he get so big and when did he lose the baby look???

4) Working 6 12 hour shifts in a row is no fun. I'm exhausted.

5) I'm moving into another house. The fresh start will be good for me.

6) I'm sad that I won't get to see my parents for the holidays this year but am excited to see my brother.

7) I'm excited to start decorating my new house!

8) I'm so glad that C smiled for his pictures when I took him to have his Christmas pictures made. He screamed when he saw Santa.

9) The new furniture I bought on Black Friday is getting delivered this week!

10) I miss you ladies!

If I can figure out how I will add in a picture of C!

mel - welcome back! C is so handsome! I hope your new start will get 2014 off on the right note for you.

1. It's Wednesday and work is seriously cramping my ability to get on here and post.

2. @butterflygrooves I have been thinking about you. I echo kershnic's thoughts, I'm curious but also completely respect the need for privacy for you and your family. Sending big hugs your way.

3. It's good to see some old faces here, rikkiandjulie and mel, I hope to see you here more.

4. mel sorry to hear about things with Jenn, sending hugs your way. And OMG C is adorable.

5. Work is crazy busy and I had to work this past Saturday as well. Not sure when this will slow down but I just need a breather.

6. E is still struggling with initiating sleep. Some nights are better than others but I've had to spend a few in the guest room with her just to ensure I got 5 hours or so. She has renewed attitude about it this week and so far has stayed in her bed but with a few extra tuck-ins. I am hopeful.

7. #s 5 and 6 are just draining me.

8. I need a vacation...alone...just me and the beach and a cold beverage.

9. I got irritated with some things A did a couple of weeks ago. I am still trying to get over them.

10. Our tree is up but I haven't been home long enough to put on the lights so that E and I can do the ornaments. Hopefully I will get them done tonight!
