Thanks ladies... oh my gosh Richelle THANK YOU!!! I have no idea what you were trying to say
but you gave me the biggest laugh I've had in days now!!
Bec - I love those pics!!! You too Naomi - your IL's sound frustrating. It's a good thing you spoke to them so you were sitting there tonight with a warm dinner waiting and waiting on them. :roll:
Nikki - great happy shot!!
I love Nathan's 'smile' - great thank you card to Santa
Tracy, I just got up from my chair and the IL's pulled in the driveway. I handed the babes to Chris and hopped in the shower.
And everything did go well... basically by the time I was done in the shower things were at a point where I could sit and visit for a bit. Dinner turned out very well, pies were yummy!!
Chris' Uncle came and said to me "now Judy, why are YOU doing all this work with all these kids around?" and I said for one, it's easier to be home with the children and two, quite frankly, I'm the best cook in this family!
Nothing like tooting my own horn. Of course he says "well, yes I didn't feel like going anywhere today but then I remembered you'd be cooking so I had to come along" (he's divorced and his kids refuse to have anything to do with him so it's a tough time of year for him
) and didn't I say he's sarcastic? Usually he is but he was so nice today!
And I just love having my MIL around these days because Kaia and Hannah just love being with her and they are so happy when Chris' family is around - unlike mine. Why? I bet quite honestly it's me - I'm sure they sense the tension in me when my fam is around.
Sarah napped for about 2.5+hours today and now at 10.34pm she is standing up on a chair looking over the side of the couch at dh saying "pop goes the weasel" then off the chair, walks around it and does it all again.
She's not so tired.
Hannah is cutting one maybe two top teeth so she had a tough time going to bed tonight - along with all the excitement - when I checked in on her she was turned completely around in her crib snuggled up to her new baby. We gave them babies for Christmas (along with a ton of other stuff) because they like to chew on the older girls but it really stresses Z&S to have the babies licking their babies.
I'd post a pic or two - but dang this new computer, I've got to get my camera set up on it... All this complaining about this pc ... you'd never guess that pc support is my career!! LOL I just didn't feel like dealing with it right now.
I have to say... this UP stuff helps me in my life as well as parenting. Cuz I'm so over being p!ssed at dh.... a year ago - I'd have stayed mad for days until I finally let him have it (seriously!!)
Oy!! I think dh & I will be asleep before Sarah tonight.
Off to see if I can get this camera to download pics.
