I know I'm a huge slacker and I must update this more often so here goes. This will be totally random as the thoughts come to my head.
I'm so sick of making pajamas I want to shove them up someone's ass. I finished a pair for my sitter Sunday night and right away started on my sister's pants. I made good progress on hers until my sewing machine had enough. I started acting funky and after three attempts I said fuck it and went to bed.
I have about 6 presents left to wrap and no room for them under my tree. We wedged the tree in between the couch and loveseat in our tiny living room so there is no room for presents and I don't want to making watering the tree even more difficult by forcing the waterer to move a crapload of presents. The presents are of course all for Paige.
BIL is so rude and cheap. We've exchanged presents with him and SIL and their 2 daughters. Well a couple of years ago we decided to only exchange for our kids and not the adults. Fine by me, less money to spend. So we always go out and buy nice presents that their kids will like and he sends us crap from his cheap gift closet. This year he went over the edge. He told us the 7 year old likes Polly Pockets and the 3 year old likes puzzles. So after one of my moms get togethers I made a point to go to Target (at like 9pm) and spend about 30 minutes trying to pick the best PP and puzzles. I wrapped them, packaged them, and took Paige with me on Friday to mail them. Was Mike involved in any of this?!?!? NO!!!!! AND IT'S HIS GODDAMN FAMILY!!!!! In the meantime, the BIL calls Mike and asks if Paige likes Dora and Mike goes "stop right there BIL I know exactly where you're going with this and no she doesn't need the Dora roller skates or scooter that are on amazon.com for $5 a piece" Mike had seen them on amazon.com and knew BIL did to. So we get a package yesterday for them and Paige insists on opening it and guess what's in there? GODDAMN F'ING DORA ROLLER SKATES!!!!!!!!!! Mike wasn't home yet so I called him up and gave him an earful while Paige whined and yelled for me to open them up. I'm THIS CLOSE to sending them back to BIL and telling him we're not exchanging presents anymore at all. I'm so sick of spending my time and money and putting thought into nice presents that his girls will want and we get crap from them. A few years ago while the adults still exchanged presents we got BIL a $25 GC to Home Depot and SIL a $25 to Target and we got some piece of shit picnic basket that we'll never use. And BIL had the nerve to say he wasn't sure who to give that to but figured we get the most use out of it. I wanted Mike to call BIL yesterday and tell him we're not exchanging for the girls anymore but he's such a puss that he refuses to do that. Christ we got more thoughtful gifts from our friends on Saturday; a Little People movie (Paige LOVES those movies!) and a Little Einsteins sweatshirt with Paige's name embroidered on it because their little 2 y/o likes Little Einsteins. I just want those damn roller skates out of my house. Who sends a 2 1/2 year old roller skates anyway?!?! UGH!!!
OK that's out of my system...what else? Oh of course PAIGE IS POTTY TRAINING!!!!! On Friday she saw her stickers on the calendar for pooping on the potty and decided she wanted to pee on the potty. I stuck her on and she went!!! She's even gone on public toilets!!!! She's had a few accidents, but that's to be expected. She's been telling us that she has to go, but we ask too. She only wears diapers at night and has been wearing the cotton training pants with the thick crotch during the day. Sometimes pullups during nap or if we're going for a car ride. I'M SO EXCITED AND PROUD OF HER!!! She peed 5 times at her sitter's yesterday and had a good long pee at our house right before we left this morning. My baby is wearing panties!! It's crazy!!!
WW is going OK. I lost 8 pounds the first week, but haven't lost any the past 2 weeks. I'm definitely eating better, but still too many sweets. That damn cookie exchange was bad news. I have way too many sweets in my house. I sent about half of them with Mike to work and I think I'll have to send more. I'm exercising as often as I can and keeping in touch with my mom.
I'm supposed to get AF Thursday or Friday and having been taking HPT's since last week Friday and they are all of course coming back BFN. Sometimes I think I'm PG and then other times not so much.
I have a cold and my nose is so stuffy. I'm blowing it constantly and it's not helping. I'm stealing Paige's humidifier tonight to help me sleep.
Dad's trial is in a month and I have so many mixed emotions. I want it to be done and over with, but then I want to go back in time and spend more time with him because what if he's taken away from us. It's going to be a hard Christmas, we'll all be wondering if it's his last one with us. Of course we all know he's innocent, but will a jury of his peers think so?
Off to meet with a co worker. Hugs and kisses!

Been a Long Time
I can't believe it's been over a week since I last blogged. I have good intentions of keeping up, but work and home has been so busy, the time is flying by so fast!!!!
Last Friday I was on my way to a mom's group meetup and ended up in the ditch on the exit ramp about 5 minutes away from the place we were meeting. I've never gone in the ditch before so I was like "uh, now what?" Mike wasn't answering his personal cell, and my parents weren't home. I debated calling 911 but thought I'd sound stupid, so I called Spee Dee Delivery's main office because Mike has a work cell that only Spee Dee can call into. They hooked me up to his phone as he was battling a major snowstorm, bad roads and unplowed parking lots. He thought someone died so he was actually quite relieved when I told him I was in the ditch and a little bit like "what do you want me to do?" But luckily he had a Green Bay phone book with him and gave me a couple of tow truck numbers. The tow truck was there in less than 10 minutes, and as I was waiting for him, a cop shows up. I was like, oh shit, and tried to blow him off and hint that he should leave, not realizing he had to write a report. Duh. So after I'm pulled out, he writes me a warning. Not a big deal. Unfortunately, I looked at the bottom of the exit ramp and I see a mom from my group in her minivan that plowed over a stoplight. Luckily, her and her 2 kids were just fine. Paige and I were both fine too. There's very little damage to the front end of the car; we're not even going to get it repaired. And thank you to the portable DVD player inventor!!! Paige didn't make a peep the whole time because she was so engrossed in Blues Clues! A few times she'd tell me to "go Mama" and then "Mama's stuck in the edge" her word for ditch, but other than that she didn't whine or get cranky and stayed in her car seat the whole time!
On Saturday morning we went to a breakfast with Santa thing at our church. It was so fun! Paige sat in Santa's lap and snuggled right into him for pictures! We snapped only about 100 or so. She wouldn't really talk much, but sat there like such a good girl. Then we made a snowflake ornament and she got her face painted. We also bought some homemade candy and books. It was really fun. We didn't really do much the rest of the day.
Sunday we went to church and then grocery shopping and then home. Watched the Packers suck it up again. Paige woke up from her nap, came out in the hallway and announced "I awake" with rosy cheeks and wild hair. It was so darn cute! After her nap we ran back out to the place where we got our Christmas tree and bought a few more soy candles.
I have been sewing like a madwoman! I finished my mom's jammies and have the shirt done for step MIL, just need to start on her pants. Luckily pants are easy. I'm for sure making one more pair for my sitter and one for my sister. I might wait and give my sister her pair for her birthday in January just to give me more time.
I've been doing WW again the past week. My parents and I had a long talk on Thanksgiving where they told me how concerned they were about my weight and I confessed how out of control my eating was. So I've been tracking my points and trying to exercise almost every day. I email my mom my progress every night to keep me accountable. If she doesn't hear from me for 2 nights, she calls to check on me. I need someone constantly monitoring me. It hit me not too long ago that I've been eating and shopping compulsively to help me deal with this crap with my dad.
So the exercising, sewing, WW points entering, and emails every day have been keeping me busy at night! Plus Paige doesn't go to bed until around 8:30pm, so my time at night is limited. I haven't been getting to bed until around 11pm and then sleeping until 6:30am which has made me late for work for the past few months. Luckily no one has said anything to me about it.
Happy St. Nick's Day everyone! We're not doing it in our house this year, but probably next year.
