I have laryngitis and lost a filling, so I have an emergency dentist visit. But, it's Friday and I didn't have to fight the ankle biters to get dressed for school, so there's that.
I felt so sick to my stomach all of yesterday and still this morning, the worst part is I know I brought it on myself by eating things I knew wouldn't agree with me. I'm taking it as karma for being so gluttonous and eating so much shitty junk food lately, and a wake up call to start making healthier choices. Ugh.

My mom is receiving her MLIS today. DS is home with DH. I'll have been away for nearly 12 hours. I think I'm putting on a good game face at this point, but I miss my little man.

I am working from home taking care of sick man. He has some sort of bug going on and he scared the devil out of me when he passed out in the hallway at 6 AM. All I heard was a crash and found H on the floor, and he had no idea what happened or how he got there. Then later, fell from his knees in front of the toilet (throwing up again) around 8.
He's had this once before (also sick stomach) so I'm marginally less panicked about it this round. Last time the paramedics said that it was probably just the puking/low blood sugar and he probably stood up too fast. (yes I called them last time, he fell from full standing, hit his head really hard on the doorframe and then the bathroom floor and I panicked) He's a tall guy, so I can see that...blood not getting to his head fast enough or whatever. He comes around right away, but God I hate it.
He's finally sleeping peacefully, so hopefully the worst has passed. I'm sitting in bed with a laptop trying to get some work done...
Last night my FIL was bragging on SIL and her husband, as usual, and it really got under my skin. We were at Lucy's promotion ceremony/everyone-gets-a-medal deal at gymnastics, and alllllll he talked about was them. BIL quit his job bc he hated it, without anything else lined up, bc "it's not like they need the money'. Fucking hell, man, DH and I can't fix my car til probably January bc I don't get paid anymore til then. It's like he's patting himself on the back for doing such a great job with SIL, meanwhile DH will never grow up and get a good job, and BIL (his other son) doesn't work, and like dude. This is Lucy's event. Shut up about your other grandchildren for a minute. It's SO OBVIOUS who are the favorites here. Ugh.
Makes me feel like a total loser, ya know? And of course my mom was there.
Sorry, venting. I'm just feeling low now. Why did I invite him?
My grandfather does this. We see him maybe once a year, and he spends the entire time talking about my aunt and her family. It makes me so pissed on my father's behalf.

Ugh! My inlaws do this, mostly MIL. It drives me nuts!
She is a friend from HS who married another friend from HS ( but they never knew each other in HS, had lots of mutal friends, but never ACTUALLY spoke until they were both in their 30s fastforward married and 2 kids.)
Anyways. She is a SAHM/ blogger/ jam.berr.y consultant, he works like 3 jobs trying to hold the family down.
She is always posting about how she doesn't have enough $$ for this or that or the other thing. And someone always swoops in to " provide" for her and her kids ( most recently it was free snow boots for the little girl)
Well- back in November she posted about how she went to a second hand sale and bought all of her kids XMAS gifts for 75.00, and how excited she was. FINE. Sounds awesome. Good job getting deals.
Well she deciedes that some of the gifts are " too second hand" and " too well loved" to be giftable, and now like a week before XMAS has no gifts for her kids. Immediatly someone tells her to start an " Amazon Wishlist" and suddenly HUNDREDS of dollars of gifts have been purchased for her kids. Now she is pimping that thing out on FB every 30 seconds, and has " restocked" it with basic supplies, like diapers and wipes. AND PEOPLE ARE BUYING STUFF FOR THEM. If I have to see her type #blessed ONE MORE FREAKING TIME, I am going to scream.
The funny thing is her H sold a gc he earned through work to go buy HER a present. Uhm couldn't you have spent that 100.00 on the kids?
I mean I don't begrudge the kids gifts, but really HUNDREDS of dollars of gifts plus the restocking and constant posting of the list is really over the top.
It's Friday! This has been such a long week and I am so ready for it to be over.
There is a winter formal at the high school tonight. DD2 made plans with girlfriends to do pictures at our house before the dance, cool. DD1, who said all along that she wasn't going, decided on Wednesday to go and made plans to do pictures with her girlfriends at a friend's house. H is working night work. I have no idea how I'm going to make this happen.
We're spending the whole weekend relaxing, cleaning, baking cookies, wrapping presents and seeing Christmas lights. We've got all the kids here for the first weekend in over a month.
I dreamt it was Saturday and asked DH why his alarm was going off on a Saturday morning. Which is when he told me it was only Friday and that yes, I had to go to work today. But it is jeans day and pay day so it isn't all bad, I guess.
My secret santa got me an enormous bag of Skinny Pop popcorn this morning. I think it's nice that they are on a healthier kick after getting me - and I am not kidding - a giant chocolate bar, a bag of toffee, brownie mix, a wine glass full of Hershey kisses and a mug with hot cocoa. Next I hope they drop off some flaxseed and carrots.
In other news, I gave my secret Santa lip gloss, an ornament and a cookie. /slacker
i forgot to move the elf for the first time in three years. i managed to make it just barely on time, and the bean woke up about ten minutes later. phew.

The kids were monsters this morning. I woke up to awful cramps - yay, period. I have one of those colds where the first couple hours of the day are filled with constant sneezing and nose-blowing.
I'm so happy it's finally Friday. My entire department in work all caught the same cold from hell, which I gave to L, and it's miserable. So much coughing, and my head and shoulders hurt from it. I also had a fever this morning, again, which broke on the way to work so I was a sweaty mess by the time I got here. So over it.
We're dropping L off with the in-laws tomorrow and she's sleeping over. I'm looking forward to spending time with just H, but I'm also kind of sad. She's so much fun lately and I feel guilty sending her off for a night. I haven't mentioned this to H, though, because I know if I do he'll cancel our plans to send her there.
I have been having a really high anxiety past couple days. I need to get off my ass and find a new gym or exercise class to get this back under control. Bah.

My work hell over the past 3-ish weeks ended at 10pm last night. Today I am home with the boys for my normal Friday off (which hasn't happened in 2 weeks). I might have to field a couple calls but that should be it.
Still have to go in to work on Monday but it will be MUCH less stressful.
I'm tired. I wake up anytime around 3-5am and go back to sleep and have the most intense dreams before my alarm goes off. I hate having to get out of bed after waking up from a dream.
Extended family members are texting me asking what my mom, my daughter, brother would like for Xmas. Dude! I don't know. Gift giving isn't what it used to be.
Tonight is my 2nd hip hop class. I'm excited!
OH, and I've only worked at my new job just over 2 months and I'm getting my first bonus EVER! $50. I'll take it!
DH didn't wake me when he left, and I slept until 9:30 this morning. I feel amazing! I do need to get in the shower and get cracking though. I have booze to buy!
Heard back about the job I don't want as much. It's down to me and one other girl, who has a bit more experience than I do. She's having a Skype interview on Monday with the parent company (located in Italy). If that doesn't go well or they are unsure then they'll have me do the same. I am REALLY tempted to tell the job that I do want that I did get the Skype interview just to keep them moving. They're going to be slow about this as they have a ton going on, but I can't have it drag on much longer. I HAVE to bring in some money in Jan.

Liking for the Happy Birthday, not for you guys being sick. Thank you! I hope you both feel better soon! Don't feel guilty, she will have fun and so will you. Enjoy!
I'm off today and this weekend. Laying in bed watching the baby move and debating whether or not I'm ready to get up.
DH seems to be feeling better from his all day stomach bug yesterday. Fingers crossed none of the rest of us get sick.
He and his mom are going to look at a condo this morning and I'm probably going to skip out and go to the gym instead. I'll be very happy to get 3 days in this week. I've been pretty sore.
