anybody want to chitty chat?
I'm here, drinking another poinsettia and just finished wrapping gifts for adopt-a-family, Mike's doing work and we're watching Christmas Vacation. Get off me, you little fungus!
We tried Ferbering Owen last night because he wakes overnight and wants to come to bed with us. Little booger cried on and off for almost 2 hours, then we gave up. I'm really tired.
Ready to rumble.
Re: anybody want to chitty chat?
I'm jealous of your drink. I'm trying to motivate myself to get off my lazy butt to wraps some gifts but I'm pissed at the girl I'm giving it to so I'm stalling. I should make dinner too. Seriously slacking this evening.
Ugh, that last bit brings back very blurry and quasi-resentful membories.
I'm debating whether or not to open the AFBabies with Santa post. On one hand, cuteness, on the other mall Santas freak me the foff out.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
Are you serious, Clark?
I need one of those poinsettia drinks, that sounds delish. I may be making those for Christmas Eve.
I should be folding laundry right now but can't get motivated.

Dawg, no hosting here thank goodness. We go to Mike's folks for Christmas Eve, then do Christmas morning here. He was always traveling for Christmas as a boy so he really wants the kids to wake up in their own beds and have Santa visit. Then we go to my parents' and do Christmas and my dad's birthday. He shares it with JC.
Owen is funny. He started out this mellow, chill baby. But that's not the kid he's turning into. He's stubborn, utterly charming, and relentless when it comes to getting what he wants. Particularly at 2 AM.
Is that a regional thing? I say "poin-set-ah"
Also, I think we may need to re-bust out some Ferber. She's been waking at 4:30/5 am ish, and I'm able to quickly nurse her and get her back down. Not sure if cry it out is going to work at that time, since "wake up" time is barely an hour/hour and a half later during the week. I may just suck it up until I wean her in Jan/Feb.

Shitters full.
She falls down a well, her eyes go cross. She gets kicked by a mule. They go back. I don't know.
I am watching The Golden Compass and preparing to eat a totino's pizza. Dagger just went to sleep and I am solo parenting tonight. This is the first alone time at home I have had in a while. I think I will have some vino.
I say it both ways. I know it's poin-set-ah but sometimes a poinset-tie-ah slips out.
Linds, we have the 430-5 wake up call to eat here too. But we're so tired often we all fall back to sleep before moving him back to his room, so a lot of this sleeping in bed with us nonsense is our fault. He was such a great sleeper as a wee one, we're paying for it now.
I want a poinsettia! I'm perusing peoples' Christmas decorations on the internet and getting excited. I'm going to start cutting out snowflakes soon to do this:
I have a huge sliding glass door in my living room so I'll put them there. I feel kind of cheesetastic and dorky, but this is my first Christmas without my ex and his my way or the highway decor regime.
Speaking of, we need to do a Bring Your Holiday Decor to AFSB Day soon.

They want you to say the blessing!
Gah...thats my favorite part.

buddha has the best sleeper. I seriously get jealous and then wish awful teen years on her.
I do not know how Maggie slept through Owen's pissed off yelling of MAMAMA!!!! for two hours. I want to weep thinking about it happening again tonight.

Missmolly, how goes bedrest?

Ferber is the worst. I've given up so many time I don't know why I try. Drinking sounds like a good solution though. A little bit of liquor and he'll be out like a light.
(since you guys don't know me I should point out that I say this sarcastically)
I am positive first born children are trained to sleep through anything. I have slept through storms, college fire drills, and the like, and I thank having a younger sister for that.
In other news, I have to pee but do not feel like getting up.
I feel like I have made a permanent ass imprint on our couch. But it hasn't been too bad. The Dr. allowed me to go to my work's holiday party as long as I sat the entire time. So I got to watch everyone booze it up and dance the night away. But at least people were waiting on me hand and foot.
I had a follow up with my dr and she said as long as the bleed continues to shrink, I can go back to work the first week in January. I cant wait!

I thought it was a regional thing. Though, for some reason poin-set-tea-ah sounds more like you're sloshed and over pronouncing everything.
I can't wait to cut out snowflakes with Bug this year.

Doing pretty well. Being a mom to her is more amazing than I ever thought anything could be.
Owen and Maggie are getting so big. They both have such great smiles.
They want me pretty much right away (second week of January). I'm on travel for work right now, so even if I had an offer in hand and made a decision today, I wouldn't be able to have a face to face with my current boss about it until next week.
