DH has an event tonight from 6-10. I should feel worse about this than I do, because I already solo parented a couple days this week. But honestly, when he is gone at night, the kids go to bed earlier and I get to enjoy some extra down time.
We have plans for Sunday, but none yet for tomorrow. Hoping for a low key day.
Oh and my confession: I have already spent about $250 at Sephora this month. I have been trying to up my makeup and skincare game after a year of trying to survive DD and not giving a crap. I keep getting emails that I only need to spend $95 more to become a VIB and I am tempted. LOL...except I probably need to go to the store so DH doesn't see another package arrive.
My back is killing me. I have tried to take it easy on the stuff we have to do to sell, but I had to walk very far (for me lately) at lunch (team lunch; the person who offered to drive was literally in the furthest possible spot). I made her drop me off at the door after but the damage was done. I could only put away a little laundry last night before I crashed. Had to take pain meds and Tylenol PM again where I had been sleeping without either for over a week. Today is also not a good day. Going to take DD swimming tonight though so that should help a little.
No real plans. DD's last basketball game is tomorrow and I really wanted to go, but I can't if I feel this bad :/. I haven't seen more than 10 minutes of a game all season.
Going to start packing up kitchen stuff this weekend as much as possible. DD may have to help. TG she really wants to move also. She also found out the 2 kids up the street are also moving so she is taking it well. Just leaving the one kid behind.
Tomorrow is DH's birthday. After our sitter backed out, I desperately called my mom to see if she would mind watching the kids so that I could take DH out for an early dinner. She NEVER babysits for us, and I kind of used my rare favor by asking her to take the kids on Sun so we could go car shopping. She agreed! We're going out tonight to a restaurant that DH has been dying to try. I don't like one thing on the menu, but I will be there with a smile on my face!
Tomorrow we'll have a little party for DH with cake for the kids. It's supposed to be unseasonably warm (again), so we'll try to get outside for a hike or something.
Sunday we'll be prepping to get back to school after vacation week. Also, our nanny is going away, so it will begin a weird week of cobbling together care and pick-ups.

I'm spending my weekend trying to not have a baby again. Next weekend though? All bets are off Monday.
Tomorrow we are going to look at a house. It's my grandmas house next to my brother. My brother said we're going to be shocked at the updates so I don't know how this is going to go. Nothing else tomorrow. Maybe wash bottles and pump stuff.
I'm solo with DS on Sunday. Not sure what we will do. I need to pick up cleaning supplies for the cleaning lady.
Mother Nature is bringing winter back tonight so we can't really do anything outside. It's been nice to sit in a chair and let DS give his ride on tractor hell.

Movie night with the kids tonight at their school! Hooray! It should be fun...except that the movie is Angry Birds. (Boo).
Tomorrow is date night with DH. I'm trying to talk him into just going shopping before going out to dinner. Around Christmas my boss gave me a cute little ID case from sephora...that I JUST discovered had a 50 dollar gift card in there (embarassed). I had given the ID case to DD and H found her playing with the gift card!
Saturday I have a long bike ride and run, Sunday I have a 10 mile run. Not looking forward to either but I'm gonna do it anyway.
I survived having to be in three places at once last night. I'm heading to work out after work. Then we are all going out to eat at DHs request.
Tomorrow the kids have three games, a cookie booth and a play date. I'm then heading downtown to run, HH and then go out with a friend. Home Sunday and meeting about an upcoming camping trip.
Vent: DH asked me what I wanted him to pick me up for lunch. I was on a call and declined. He waited then asked again. I declined because we are eating out tonight so healthy lunch. His response? "Major turnoff". Super weird. Karma - they gave him totally the wrong food - something he won't eat.

Random/ransom..lol, @becominggold, I always read your screen name as becoming old.
Weekend - not a lot planned.
Saturday is ds's basketball game, shopping since both kids need new shoes, church and then we'll meet DH for dinner.
Sunday I'd like to get a run in and then my ds has a birthday party in the afternoon. I'd also like to clean out my closet. I'm usually pretty good about keeping only stuff I wear but I recently noticed that I have a lot of items that I really don't like and don't wear and some "stretch" items that are too small to wear. I'd like to go through and be realistic - will I actually wear this? If not, it's gone.
Tonight's night three of solo parenting. The nights are fine, it's the mornings that are hard, especially when they're deciding they want to be awake at 4am. (Literally, they both just sat in the bathroom and stared at me blow drying my hair.. so weird).
I'm not sure what we're doing this weekend. We have DD's ballet class tomorrow - smack dab in the middle of DS's nap time (DH usually drops her off and picks her up), and I have the sitter's coming tomorrow night for girl's night. Sunday will be spent... doing something. Or a lot of TV. I'm okay with either.
I am going to try my darnedest to not do anything unnecessary this weekend. I hate that for the kids, but these two days back have left me exhausted. Plus, every weekend in March, we have a combination of volleyball tournaments, school fundraisers, guitar lessons, retreats. ... Dh is working and I just want to chill and cook nice meals.
I had a spurt of ambition about repainting the patio set, but this beautiful, warm weather is supposed to turn off cold for the weekend.
We're going skiing as a family tomorrow. I haven't skied at all this year (have been snowboarding) so the girls will probably ski better than me.
Sunday the girls are trying hockey. Our local arena has these try it clinics every other month and the girls have wanted to go to one for awhile. It should be interesting. I don't really see either of them choosing hockey over figure skating, but I could be wrong.
Our anniversary is next week so we were hoping to have a date night tomorrow, but we're having trouble finding a sitter (we waited too long to ask). It will probably get pushed back to next weekend.
@erinshelley 21, Monday you will be posting that you are trying to have a baby!!
justcheckingin73. I am becoming old. My non sleeping children are the cause. DH wants a third. I told him to get back to me when I start sleeping again.
Weekend Plans I'm working both days...tax season fun... DD has riding lessons Sunday afternoon!! DH wants DD to hang with him on Saturday but she wants to come to work with me so we will see who wins...DH is smoking ribs for dinner Saturday night.
My back is killing me and I've had a headache since yesterday morning. I can't wait to see my chiropractor at 4 this afternoon.
Celebrations...DD finally has decided reading can be fun. She got a Breyer Stablemate book from the school library and is excited to read it herself. We also started the first Harry Potter book and she doesn't want me to stop reading. Last night end of chapter 3 was BOOM! and I left her hanging and she begged and pleaded for me to keep reading as she had to know what happen but I left it until tonight as it was already super late. This makes me so happy as I love to read.
2chatter. I would have been tempted to reply with a detailed list of what turns me off. Seriously. MH said that to me one time about something stupid that I can't even remember now and I lost my shit.
2chatter, I've not commented much on your situation, but each time I read an update, I remark to myself that there's no way I would ever be able to handle this situation with the grace and presence of mind that you've shown. Honestly. I would have lost my mind long ago. The wacky behavior, the uncertainty of the mood you'd be facing, the weird demands for your to be absent... I'm truly in awe of your ability to keep things together.
I'm thinking of you, and I hope this gets straightened out soon.
I'm home today recovering from tubal/ablation. Fun fact: I do not respond well to general anesthesia so I spent yesterday puking my guts out. Today I'm pretty much okay. A little pain, but not bad at all.
DH has been a champ. But then today we went to Target and he was cooing over babies like crazy. Which freaked me out a little since - you know - TUBAL yesterday.
Tomorrow is an outdoor birthday party for one of DD's friends. It's the only cool day on our calendar (56 I think for the high as opposed to yesterday when it was 90), so being outside may be rough. Who plans an outdoor birthday party in February?
mae0111 - I'm frustrated as all heck - almost all the time if I let myself think about it. So I just avoid thinking about it. I've fallen into a sort of bad habit which is really just letting him say what he says and do what he does and just not investing in it. It worries me I won't be able to flip the switch back. I am trying not to worry about that at this point. The soul sucking negativity and the unpredictable person he is right now will either change or it won't. I'm just trying to live my life. I think if he lands in town for a week or more we will not be ok.
We're heading north to meet up with the kids and my parents for the weekend as soon as I get out of work. Going to attempt to teach the kids to ski. Fingers crossed it's not a total disaster! We might take them snow tubing too, I think they'd love it. Otherwise, I'm going to try to relax. My giant work trip is in a week! So next week is going to be a mad rush of prepping and packing and last minute projects. Just averted a crisis today, so I am looking forward to a drink when we get there tonight!

Weekend plans - All we have on Saturday is DS's basketball game in the middle of the day. I'll go grocery shopping and do some cleaning, but I'm definitely planning on vegging out for a little while. Sunday is church and then I'm having coffee with a friend in the afternoon.

Ugh! My son's school is having a sweetheart dance tonight and he wants to go and I sooooo don't. I don't think he understands the concept of it (Mom and Son/Dad and Daughter), he just thinks there will be good food and dancing. We've had something almost every night this week and I just wanted to chill. I even tempted him with a quick dinner out and getting new shoes and he still wants to go to the dance. FWP and all, I know. Plus, am I supposed to wear a dress? Blah.
justcheckingin73 - I dread the mother son dance thing for the wardrobe question!! It's not like we would wear suits. But cocktail attire or sundresses seem equally absurd casual level LBD?

Thankfully he decided he didn't want to go. But I was thinking black leggings and a tunic top would be a good in between.
I had today off so I took DS to school and then went to the zoo since it was 70 out. Ds is staying with my parents for the weekend so H and I can go on a mini vacation.
