I slept like crap last night because my brain was racing a mile a minute... but I don't mind too terribly much because most of the time it was because the guy I like has been texting me/commenting on my Facebook stuff and he sat next to me at church on Sunday and omg I think he might like me back??
My mom bought DD the Kanani American Girl doll before it was retired. DD was only two (maybe not quite) and we just took it off the shelf and out of the box over the weekend. We were going to wait until she was 5 (January) for her to play with it but she is so in love with her. I don't know if I'll be able to put it back up there!
I'm thrilled this is a short week. H has a man cold, I sound like I have a frog in my throat, and L kept sneezing on the way to daycare this morning. Hopefully none of us are miserable for Thanksgiving.
The photographer sent us L's 1 year photos on Saturday night and I love them so much that I'm going to AW three of them here.
I'm dreading Thanksgiving a little bit because my ILs are obnoxious. I suppose there is a chance they won't come due to weather (!!) which would be nice.
So SMIL sews. She dabbles in commercial sewing of window treatments, as in she has a business, but I think the volume is more hobby level. Anyway she is good at it and has a commercial sewing set up in their house. So I had bought fabric for Andy's room, intending to sew some sweet little valances myself, and she had seen the fabric and said hey I have leftover blackout fabric from making roller shades, would you like me to take your fabric and make shades? So I said sure, let me know how much the additional hardware will be (about 15-20 for the parts wholesale, expected). So she emails me today and says she is bringing them on Thanksgiving, that she ended up needing to order more blackout materials, whoops, it will be 70 bucks.
I'm annoyed. I don't have an extra 50 bucks to blow on curtains for Andy's room, not at Christmas. She should have told me there would be additional cost so I could pause on the curtains or just paid for it herself. (My ILs are very, very wealthy).
I am finally, finally feeling better! My throat is killing me from the post nasal drip, but I otherwise feel fairly normal this morning. I am so happy I won't be miserable for thanksgiving!
We have our second ultrasound today to check out this guy's feet. I'm hoping he cooperates a little better and that we get good news. Either way, H and I are excited to see him again. It's amazing to me how much I already love him. I can't wait for him to be born!
My uncle is under the illusion that I have very good parents. I will not divest him of that opinion, but the checked out, unemotionally and most physically unavailable assholes that are my parents are not good; they suck. My mother is twisted. I mean this is a topic I could expound on ad infinitum.
Also, my kids didn't finally settle down until 12 last night, I took a couple of hours for myself and went down at 2 and now, naturally, I am tired.
D is going to be a pilgrim in a presentation today. I am really looking forward to that. I have to hurry and get the girls ready.
Hope everyone is doing well and having good Monday mornings!
Dd is at home with h today because she was vomiting yesterday. I have a meeting and I have to train a new employee this afternoon so I couldn't stay home. Luckily she hasn't vomited since about 6:30 last night so hopefully she is on the mend, but I wanted to keep her home until she's eaten (she didn't eat at all yesterday) and we know she will keep it down.
We are going oot for Thanksgiving and are planning on heading to the cabin from there for a long weekend. We haven't been to the cabin in like 2 months.
My dad died 4 years ago today. I'm glad I have a busy day at work so I don't think about it too much.
@missusbee, I'd be so annoyed about the valances. I'd be really tempted to tell her, oh, sorry, you hadn't budgeted that much and can't squeeze it out what with moving and the holidays, here's the money for the hardware, we'll get the rest after the new year. And then watch her squirm, which hopefully she'd have the grace to do.
The weather was awful this morning. I had a hat and an umbrella for my walking commute to work, but the wind was so strong that I couldn't keep the umbrella up. I was soaked to the bone by the time I got to work. I'm still damp and cold. Pretty miserable.

I'm tired today. I was up at 4am feeding the baby and by the time I was ready to put his back down, dd was up with a cough. She climbed into bed with us, but was keeping us up, so back to her bed she went. I didnt fall asleep until almost 6am, and my alarm goes off a 630 for the drop dead time I need to be up. Positive note, I did get my Kohl's black friday shopping done online at 4am, while feeding the baby.
I spent NINE hours making decorations for DD's birthday party on the 6th. There is glitter everywhere - in my hair, despite two showers, floor, tables, you name it, there's blue and silver glitter on it. Not that I mind too much. I like glitter. I was annoyed they took so long though. Pinterest makes everything seem so easy, and then it takes me four hours to make a happy birthday banner. They turned out well though.
The execs are having a big budgeting meeting today. They ordered pizza. But only enough for them, and then proceeded to put the pizza out in a common area so we could all smell it, but not have any, as they only ordered enough for themselves. The smell of pizza makes me drool. I am not amused.
