  • Highs: Getting a night out with all of my family and seeing my dads side for a few hours. We also had dinner number three yesterday at my moms.

    Lows: M's sleep schedule is completely whacked from all the visiting and non napping. I'm exhausted from running around for the past week. Oh, and got A's Christmas shopping done last night online. Everything was great until DH called me this AM saying that my shopping extravaganza shut our account down because of suspicious activity and the banks fraud department is non stop busy because I think a lot of people must of been doing the same thing.

  • Highs: Had my 10 year hs reunion and it was a LOT of fun!

    Lows: I am SO mad at N right now that I am spitting nails. I can't even begin to explain right now, but I'll write a nice long rant later.

  • Highs - we're all moved out of the condo! I cried when we left for the last time... hahaha It's obviously for the best and I'm very excited to move on but it was sad leaving our first real home for the last time. I wasn't this way when we left the apartment though so I think I'm so emotional because it was Teddy's first home. I can't tell you how many times the words "Stop it. You're being crazy." left Shawn's mouth yesterday.

    Lows - I can't find anything! Everything is in boxes in my in-laws' basement and it's so packed in that I can't get to anything. I went out last night and bought a new hair straightener, blow dryer and tub toys for Teddy because I got tired of digging through the pile of crap.

  • Highs...Love being home for a long weekend. DH & I were able to get most if the decorating done. He did all the stuff outside and set up the tree. I decorated inside and decorated the tree. All that is left is the living room tree. I also did some cleaning as I went so the house looks nice. M was so excited to see all the new things. She took MIL all over this morning to show it to her. :)

    Lows...My period is 6 days late, but the test came up negative. I've never been this late. I also have no symptoms.

    Not necessarily trying, but not avoiding either. (if that makes sense) I was supposed to get an ultrasound done to make sure that my endometriosis didn't grow back, but I was dealing with my eye and life and totally forgot about it.

     

  • Highs- Just about everything. Had a great Thanksgiving and got to see both families. Got Christmas gifts done for all the kids we buy for including Chase, and our friends and one of my brothers. We had 3 showings with good results and are currently waiting on an offer this week. We went to the Eagles game yesterday, the weather was beautiful, they won and then we hit up Cheesecake Factory on the way home to spend a gift card and were home and in bed by 9pm. It was wonderful

    Lows- Chris lost his Oakley sunglasses on the walk back to the car from the football game yesterday. Hes really upset since I bought them for him last year for Christmas. We were just wearing so many clothes, I think they might have fallen off when he took his hat off. It was too dark and too far to even go back to look for them.

  • weekend high: um getting to do nothing..well I did get my christmas trees on the front porch set up!

    weekend low: having to clean.  I would like to hire a full time maid.

  • Highs - Lots of QT with friends and family!  And lots of yummy food.

    Low - I am absolutely exhausted!
  • Highs - spending time with the kids!

    Lows - Lilly crying when we told her we were leaving Sunday. She asked us earlier that weekend for a picture of us to keep when she misses us. Jeff asked her mom and she said no way in hell will a picture of us be in her house. So we told her we'd give her one to keep at nany's house. We'll, while she was crying she asked to live with us. Jeff told her her mama would miss her too much. She said to give her a picture. Um wow.

    Mine too. Wow....that is ridiculous. It's not like it would go in the family room...there is no reason she can't have one on her nightstand/dresser/bookshelf. Poor girl....doesn't her mother realize you are supposed to do what's best for the child...she's quite a piece of work!

    I read something similar on the blended family's board which is why I told Jeff to ask her first. She acted the way I figured.

    Every time we see her, she wants to see our wedding pictures again. So I go on Shutterfly and show her the book, and the yearly books I've been making. I might make her one with pictures of all our visits, and have MIL keep it for her to look through when she's over. And keep doing it for her. Idk what else to do to make it easier.

  • @mana8503 that is just so sad. it breaks my heart
  • @mana8503 that is so sad!!! I think the picture book is a great idea. I wish you could just take those kids!

  • @mana8503 - It's crazy how much I can't stand that woman and I have never even met her!! There is no reason in this world why that little girl can't have a picture of her FATHER in her home. It's not like she's building a shrine to you and Jeff. It's one freaking picture. I hope you guys end up with full custody of both of them. They'd be better off up here with you.
