Back to the streaming board

UGH just learned yesterday that PlayStation Vue is shutting down at the end of January. Right after I sign up and semi figure out how to use it. I guess I will weigh YouTube TV vs Hulu Live and try again in January (have to stick with Vue through December because #hallmarkchristmasmovies, duh). Just annoying because I did all the research beforehand and here we are again. Le sigh.

Merry Christmas - where's the Tylenol

Why yes, I AM already watching the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies. And yes, I AM already listening to the Hallmark Christmas channel on Sirius XM. Georgie has somehow learned the words to Jingle Bells and says "ho ho ho" a lot as well. (No, I have not yet decorated - I'm not insane.)

I guess I feel like with a newborn and a crazy toddler it's going to be mass chaos over the holidays (more so than it normally is!), so I better get a bit of holiday spirit in now before it's January and I don't know what just happened.

Ho ho ho

Boo at the Zoo

I didn't realize it was a special Halloween weekend at the zoo, and I think all of the costume changes last week have burned poor Georgie out so she didn't want to wear one again. Fair enough. She started screaming the second we got there because she didn't see any animals, so I walked as fast as I could pushing a stroller (mostly uphill) only to find no giraffes, gorillas or elephants out in their habitats. Luckily we did see lions, and finally one elephant on the way to the hippos. Another meltdown happened in the zoo store (left without buying anything - SO maternal!) and a final one on the merry-go-round, which was "too loud" and is unfortunately her lasting memory of the entire day. Yay for two-year-olds!!

Wild weekend ahead!

My mom is off to Austin for the weekend, so it's just me and George. We have big plans - trick or treating at my office, the zoo and milkshakes at Kellers. Of course we might just stay home. So there's that.

Cable? We don't need no stinking cable

So far so good without cable! I mean, I do miss Nick at Nite when I am awake at 2am and I can't watch Friends, but I'm sure it's available on some other streaming service right? (And Hallmark starts showing Frasier around then, so that's feasible)

Also no PBS (Sesame Street), MTV (Hills! Teen Mom OG!) or Nickelodeon (Peppa Pig), but that's what YouTube is for, right?

And saving $120 a month is sooooo worth it.

Good times

Text from my mom yesterday. Le sigh

I can't.

It's official: hearing my daughter say "I ludge you, mama" makes me MELT. Like I really cannot handle.
