Santa was here 🎅🏼🎁🐱🐱

My hubs finally put the Christmas lights up outside. 😆🤦🏻‍♀️ Better late than never I guess! 🎄

My brother and SIL are in town for the holidays and I’m about to fake sick to avoid seeing them. They are persistent though. Hopefully they forget I live here. What’s Christmas without annoying family members!?

@ralyssa11.bsky.social happy birthday!!! 💐 Let’s go apply to The Traitors Canada! We can be the secret duo! Meanwhile we can fan girl together!!

My friend dropped off some of her nut cookies. They are soooo good. I think hubs likes them more than anything I make. I love them but I am not into making this type of treat…just eating it! 😋

Last of the treats made. Chocolate dipped licorice. 😋

@erinsavage.bsky.social happy birthday!! 💐

Hubs and I started watching One Battle After Another tonight (I had no idea it was streaming already). It’s kind of christmasy….and long…saved the last hour for tomorrow.

Help…I give my daughters bfs mom a small tray of mixed baked goods every Christmas (this is 3rd yr). Last yr she gave me a box of chocolates, now she’s giving me a gift card. It doesn’t feel equal. Should I give her something else? And if so, what?? Ugh. I feel pressure.

Minnie Driver! 😍

How did I not know that Emily in Paris season 5 started today? I’ve just been lying around all day and now I only have time for one episode!

Happy 3rd gotcha day to our sweet and spicy Sam. She got to meet and hang with the OG’s (RIP) Gibby and Piper and now she gets to (hopefully) grow old with Freddie. We loves ya sweet girl 🧡 (I got the cats new beds for her bday).

My favourite mug and my favourite napkin holder! The sloth turns pink when it’s hot 😍

We made it! Bucket still empty!!! She feels better but has a bit of a sore throat. Thanks for all your positive thoughts!! 🫶🏼

My daughter went to bed feeling very nauseous. She took a bucket 😳. Wish us luck 🤞🏼😫

I don’t get how he’s the President 🤯😩

Like wtf man. “Just end the season already”. 😭 I can’t take anymore.

This news will rock Hollywood. WTAF!!?? 💔

Ok, I just found out my daughter already has the book I bought her for Xmas. Gotta get another gift 😖

I’ve wrapped *most of the gifts and now I realize I need a couple more small, inexpensive, fun items for my middle daughter. Gotta get back out there 😖 (I’ve spent equal amounts but she is lacking in the fun department).

I hate wrapping presents 😐

My doctor thinks because I am a stay home mom/wife that I don’t need ADHD meds. Like what? Umm, he’s been trying to treat my “depression” and anxiety for years with no success. I tell him the ADHD meds make me feel there is hope and he doesn’t take me seriously. 🙄 (I am on low dose meds now).

Done Christmas shopping. Yay. Gotta bake still and wrap a few prezzies then it’s relax time! 😅🎁🎄

Ok I ordered one but it was on sale for $10 (good reviews tho) and I’m thinking “what in the Temu did I just order off Amazon” 😬. Oh well, it’s just $10 and if it sucks I’ll keep it for me lol. But I think I will look into getting her an iPad and Apple pen.

Is there such a thing as an electronic doodle pad or drawing tablet? Something you can draw sketches on and just erase or save? Hope I’m making sense. I’ve been scouring the internet but not quite seeing what I’m looking for.

Lots of snow on our picnic table! ❄️ and it’s still coming!

Ok. Still stormin here.🌧️Hubs left before the bulk of heavy wet snow fell. All buses cancelled. Snow day for my youngest. But I need to move my car so guess who had to shovel? 😳 I’m so weak lol. I feel bad for not doing my neighbours half but me no strong enough 😆😭. They also have 3 men there.

We are currently having a winter storm and the snow has started transitioning to freezing rain. Great time for my daughter to get a flat tire at work. Luckily it’s close so I could pick her up. The tire is now a tomorrow problem 😖😭

He’s ready to be wrapped up and put under the tree. Freddie is a lover of Christmas! 🎄🎁💚❤️

My favourite podcasts are (obviously) RHAP then Maintenance Phase, ADHD Chatter, and Were you Raised by Wolves. Then Armchair Anonymous.

My friend taught me how to use AI.

I have so much to do to get ready for our “mini Xmas” on Sunday with my friend from out of town, but here I am….

My 17yo daughter called home from school with a headache. I picked her up and got her Starbucks (chia latte) and gave her two Advil. Good or bad parenting move? (PS she has to work tonight).

Oh hey, only 4 hours sleep? Ok cool cool. We got this 🥴

I realized I don’t share enough pictures of Sam so I gave her a photoshoot 😆

Oh ya. I ❤️ my bloomfs!

Has anyone been a part of a “friend safety net” kind of thing? We are trying to organize something for my friend whose husband passed away last month so we can all show up and support her somehow through the holidays. I feel clueless. Her family has decided to cancel Xmas this year. 😔

Welp 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🧡 #swiftie #ownit 🧡

Yesterday my daughter went for a TB test and the dr accidentally gave her a flu shot (under the skin as if a TB test). Now the area has a huge rash and is numb. She is quite stressed. I think it’ll be ok but what a careless mistake!!!!

@bigbroaccess.bsky.social happy birthday!!!

Found my log cakes!!! This is one of my favourite treats this time of year!! ❤️💚

Well it’s a good thing I wrapped some presents so Freddie has the ability to ruin higher parts of the tree 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

They had me at “catnip”. This is on tonight on the W network at 8 (for Canada).

That canceled TV show you'll never stop thinking about.

Ok but this bothers me. It was a potluck. Most brought sides for dinner, lasagna, bread, salad, I brought charcuterie. We were there for 9hrs. Turns out everyone is “on a diet” so they barely ate anything!! But it all sat out & was picked at so ended up in the trash. What a waste. 😒

Ok, I’ll eat my words because I had a great time and made some super cute cookies. And I got along with everyone. 👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼 I’ve never worked with this type of icing but it was pretty cool!

@jaydasmiff.bsky.social happy birthday!!!!

Cookie decorating party today. I’m feeling anxious. Don’t want to go but I’m bringing a lot of the food and I already made the cookies. 4 of the ladies I love, 1 I don’t really know and 1 I really don’t care for. And I really don’t like these types of things. Soooo….good times. 🥴

I just finished listening to Tarans book. I wasn’t ready for it to end 😫. Impatiently waiting for the sequel!! In the meantime I am going to listen to it again! 💙 #behindthemirror

I’m going to a cookie decorating get together tomorrow. I hate making these types of cookies (cut outs) but I did it. And now I’m annoyed because some of them bubbled. Wth!!? I will post pics of them decorated tomorrow. *that will be a disaster!
