Happy Hump Day!
How is everyone today?
We got the tree all decorated last night and it's pretty. The cats both seem to really like it, but not in the knock-it-to-the-floor type way, more in the lay-under-or-near-and-stare-at-it-way.
Two different people that we know had their babies yesterday, my step-cousin's wife had a little boy via scheduled c-section and friends of our from our baseball team had a little girl. Both mama's were due shortly after Christmas but it sounds like everyone is doing well.
Tonight, wrapping gifts maybe? Or maybe I'll got to the mall like I wanted to last night (but was way too lazy).
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Re: Happy Hump Day!
Morning ladies.
I think my boys are finally starting to get over this cold! They ate a ton for supper which I was very pleased with, and they were acting more like themselves. YAY!
Tonight I am staying a little late at work to decorate my managers desk with some coworkers. Her 50th birthday is coming up, so we are going all out. Then it will be home for a typical evening, and hopefully hitting the sac early.
Have a great day ladies.

Caught up on some DVR tv last night and put in a grocery order. Hopefully that will be delivered tonight so that I can get to work on holiday baking! It would also be good to do some Christmas shopping for DH, but that would require me to know what I'm getting him ...

Last night I got all the baking done for DH's christmas party hs shift is having at work tonight. Me and the boys all three had haircuts and I kept my cousins little boy who is 3 for a few hours. I was exhausted by the time I finally went to bed. I hope to catch up on my dvr tonight and get some things done around the house since I haven't had time to do them the last 2 days.
Preston isn't feeling good so I am just praying I don't get a call from daycare to come get him. I hope he feels better when I pick him upt this afternoon.
Good morning!
I'm visiting my mom today so I might take the opportunity to do some Christmas shopping in peace. Unfortunately I still don't know what I'm getting for some people. Sigh.

Good morning, ladies.
I got some shopping done last night with my daughter, but I'm still working on the final to-do list. Baking and shopping still left to do.
I'm going to vent here - DH is being crapped on again. He is paying for his daughter to spend a month overseas working in a hospital. She's supposedly being hosted by a classmate's family, but the plane ticket alone is $2,500. She leaves this weekend, and he wants to spend some time with her before she gets on the plane. Of course, she's too busy - dinner with her friends is more important, and he probably won't see her at all. I'm so sad for him - he has done so much for his family, and they won't give him the time of day. My only consolation is that his children will someday have wretched, ungrateful children of their own. And I will laugh in their faces when that happens.
This is sad and I can say that because I was that daughter at one time. I took my dad for granted for many years and then when he got sick it all hit me and still to this day I wish I would have spent more time with him or not been in such a hurry when we did have time to spend together. She will regret this. I would kill to have my daddy back and to sit down and spend 10 minutes with him.
Les Paul I feel bad for your DH that really sucks. You are right though she'll have ungrateful children of her own one day.
Crystal I hope Preston feels better. There is nothing worse then being sick around the holidays.
Last night was busy. I picked up my bib and Santa hat for Saturday's 5k. I'm stupidly excited to wear a Santa hat.
I also cooked a ton, I made dinner, a cranberry/orange bread, pumpkin bars, and something for Dh to take to lunch. I love cooking.
Les - That is incredibly sad and I feel very bad for your DH. I hope one day his kids realize what everything he's done for them and how poorly they treated him.
Crystal - hope Preston feels better!
Good morning! Last night was a late night at the office followed by a quick dinner then I was able to sit down and work on a few Christmas cards.
Tonight we are going to stop by my MIL's office for an open house for her company's 30th anniversary party. A lot of DH's family will be there including his grandparents who just arrived from AZ, so it should be a good time.
I haven't really posted in the mornings for a while. Last week I had an interview, it seemed to go well I am just waiting for a call back (they said they'd call either way) to see if I have it. To be honest it would be a great opportunity but I would much prefer working with the company I working with now, sadly it is just a term position.
Ben is finally done finals and is getting everything sorted for next semester. He FINALLY set up an appointment to claim his major, after which we will find out if he does in fact have everything he needs to graduated and if the courses he is taking next semester are going to line him up to graduate in April. I know it probably wont happen but I would be very happy with a, "Looky here you have everything you need, you don't have to take anymore courses and we will graduate you in April." Although, I highly doubt that will happen I can dream right.
So that is life. I think I will probably try to get to the gym this evening. I also have to bake a LOT of cookies for a get together tomorrow.
Hooray for Wednesday... This week, more because it means a day off than anything. I am going to go and get my eyes checked this afternoon since my new insurance kicked in and I am as blind as a bat... I have a feeling I am going to be promoted from reading only glasses to all the time glasses... I wish I could wear contacts, but something about touching my eyeballs gives me the heebie jeebies.
Yesterday was a REALLY sucky day at work. I am so sick of bending over backwards for an assistant manager who no matter how much I give always wants more. Grrrr.
I have presents to wrap, and I need to get our Christmas cards printed, but I think I am going to wait until Friday for that one. I still have no idea what I am getting Josh for Christmas... Everything he wants, he has. I'm thinking about getting him a ping pong table for the garage... Lame?
I'm going to go with awesome.

I just think it'd be fun AND a surprise, and it's SO hard to surprise him. He buys anything he wants for himself.
I also vote awesome! We had a ping pong table growing up, and I loved it. I have many happy memories of playing with my dad, brother and all our friends.

Seriously, it's a great gift! I vote do it!

Hi, all. It's been a crazy day, full of meetings that seem to be about nothing. I haven't mentioned it, but my department is going through a re-org and it's driving me nuts. In particular, a lot of what's happening is the move from writing to having to manage a bunch of processes and even some logistics/event planning--which is an aspect of my old job that I wanted to leave far behind. I'm frustrated and anxious, to say the least. I was just learning the old world before the new one came into play. And I'm absolutely terrified by the idea of having to do event management once again. I hope it doesn't come to be.
Other than that, just trying to get through the day. Tonight might be a bar night, though I'm thinking not. If not, I'm just going to go home, have some of Josh's excellent chicken marsala, and then read for a long while.
Afternoon!
Today was pretty normal...I am just so ready for Christmas break it is ridiculous. The kids are fine, but I am getting twitchy. I'm taking tonight off of running because I had some errands to run after school and then DH got home early, so I will get up early to run tomorrow. We're getting Subway for dinner too, so I don't have to cook. Overall, it should be a low-key evening!

Today was a little less hectic at work which was nice for a change (even though I ended up with 1/2 hour overtime because of a meeting I had).
Last night I got home later than I wanted from our Christmas party through no fault of my own. Our managers show up an hour late so we had to wait to order dinner. It was so frustrating. One of them even made a joke (because we had ordered appetizers) that 'this is the way to do it. You show up, there's some food ready and a glass of wine.' I wanted to strangle her since I had to drive about 35 mins both ways to get to this restaurant and was courteous and showed up on time.
Things just didn't seem to want to fit together after work to get my butt to the gym. I had my gym bag but no shoes. I ended up driving home to get them and then heading back out. Now I'm waiting for DH to finish one of his video games so we can decorate our bare Christmas tree.
This week has been pretty frustrating work wise, and trying to get my shiit together wise. I really just need to learn not to be so hard on myself. Tomorrow will be better!
Most importantly American Horror Story is on soon.
