Cindy, I hope you get a good nap today. Anxiety attacks are of the suck. I hate it when they come on because it feels like a freight train heading straight at you that you know is coming, but can't stop. I'm glad your DH and mum were so good about disarming it.
My sleep is definitely screwy. O has decided to start waking at odd hours again. I'm thinking it's either stuffy sinuses (we need to get more filters for the humidifier to run it) or another teething session (side teeth are harder to see coming in). I'm glad for the rocking recliner in his room. It at least lets me catch an hour or two nap with him in my arms. Last time it took two weeks to get him back on track.
I have decided that this is the LAST year we attempt to mold our schedules around other people. Next Christmas, the mofos are coming to us.
Plei, stick to those guns, baby. It will save your sanity.

I hate that too, but I didn't even know this time. I thought something was wrong with my heart. My pulse was fricking wild, which of course, put me in the loop of getting more anxious over the symptoms, which then worsened and ugh. I started feeling light-headed again last night, but knew it was my sinuses, and managed not to get anxious. I may have had some wine, instead. ;)
I saw where you said O was fretful. I take it he has no fever. Ear infections are a bitch where sleeplessness is concerned. That was the first thing that struck me when you said he would get inconsolable, but Ben had a bad ear infection his first Christmas, and so I think I was being transfery.

What Cashmere said. The first two Christmases of Ben's life, we continued to act as we had when we were childfree, which was basically hustling to everyone's house, so nobody would be offended. My mother finally took us to task, and said we were supposed to enjoy the holiday too, and to do whatever made *us* happy. I can't believe I get mad at this woman for petty stuff. She really is the coolest, every time it counts. Today is her birthday. Must wait 'til decent hour, and have kids call her!
Happy birthday to Jesse and Theo and Rayne!

There was a naked Jon Stewart in my dream last night. He was doing some stand-up special, and since it wasn't on basic cable he could swear and be more risque, so he did his whole stand-up routine nude.
You know, tommy, some of us would've paid a lot of money for that dream.
Yeah, it was kinda' wasted on me - I was thinking, "Is he gonna be naked the whole time?"
Happy Birthdays, Jesse, Theodosia, and Rayne!
My Christmas? Hubs had been feeling rotten for a week. We finally convinced him to see a doctor. At 8:30 on Christmas Eve. So I spent Christmas Eve at the emergency room.
He was diagnosed with bronchitis and a sinus infection.
He's feeling a little better today. But now I'm feeling lousy....
Tomorrow, I call the doctor.
