Monday recap & goals

[comicSans]

Things are weird; let's be normal.

Anything to note from the weekend? What's going on this week?

[Susan0utLoud]

Busy weekend! Did anniversary day date on Saturday and Touch a Truck yesterday. I ended up grocery shopping at 10pm last night because..... where did the time go?!

This week I'm working on helping Dh apply for jobs.

We're headed to an out of town wedding this weekend and I'm looking forward to seeing lots of friends and also dreading seeming some people who used to be friends but aren't anymore.

Notes from the weekend: this is the first Monday in a long time that I was actually looking forward to coming to work. H worked 7-3 both sat/sun and by the time he got home it's not like he was helpful with the kids. Sat it rained all day so it was stuck indoors. I was thankful for a break from the kids.

Doc appt wed, and hoping to get some more answers since H is bugging me to ask. Memorial day weekend so we'll probably be boating since it's supposed to be nice weather. Fri is a track meet and H will probably go, so I'll probably head out to eat with the kids on my own.

Well, we are all aware what my weekend was like. Lol

Susan0utLoud I'm so happy that you and Mr. Cheese got out for your date. And that you are helping him apply for jobs.

mary97 potty training was super tough for us too. If one more person says that girls are "easier", I'll go to bat. Maybe some girls are, but in my personal experience it's not gender dependent, it's hold dependent.

My goals for this week is to recover and prepare for a baby. I'm not rushing him to come, even though I'm 40w. I need a couple days to mentally regroup.

[Doll15]

bliz1712 what is going on that H wants you to see a doctor about, have you mentioned this before?

[bliz1712]

Doll15, it has to do with my meds for pre menopause and my low sex drive. He thinks it's worth mentioning do see if there's something else we can do. I think I mentioned the pre meno stuff before but maybe not.

It's a long weekend here. Saturday we rode the miniature railway at the downtown park and got fish and chips then came back and went for ice-cream. Yesterday we went to the park twice and I did some grocery shopping and today we went to the park then DS played with the neighborhood kids for 3 hours while I drank a beer. BBQed all 3 days because it's beautiful out

In my opinion, your H and his lack of help or understanding is enough to kill a sex drive. I am not trying to beat a dead horse but it pains me to think you're taking all the blame on that. I don't know what goes on for you personally or if you think the pre-m stuff is causing the issues, but for me what you've shared is enough to make me think thatd be a huge reason.

Sounds like you're settling in nice!!!

This weekend was the long weekend in Canada. So today was the last of the r&r.

Weekend was relatively low key, bailed on a birthday party, went to a movie, out to the lake yesterday for a walk and dinner, today we went to the dog park, regular park and then out for ice cream.

Tomorrow it's back to work and in for a loooong day of learning. I'm on the road training with a colleague from out of town. Should be a good day but I won't get home till 10pm or so.

[bliz1712]

Doll15 no I agree. There are times when it feels like it's always me in regards to anything. But I also think the meds could be off since it doesn't take much for me to go off or get to that breaking point lately. Especially with SD so I figured I'd ask. But yes my drive has gone down. Partly from pre-m but also for why you mentioned. Who wants to be romantic with someone who acts like another child.

It honestly feels like vacation! I love our neighborhood and it's so nice having stuff to do again

Well, Friday was DD1'S bday and Saturday was her party. Then Sunday we went on a 🐻 bear hunt.

Today has been all about catching up on chores. We have another busy week with my niece graduating from 8th grade tomorrow, a garage sale over the weekend, a town festival, a bday party for niece, and a family reunion

[lrmrtn]

Saturday, I got my crown fixed and then DS and I met my Dad and his wife for lunch while DH went into work. Saturday night we had friends over and they brought takeout. It was nice to catch up. Yesterday, I did some shopping while DH watched DS and then we played outside for awhile. We had great weather yesterday.

This week will be busy for both of us work wise. We both have audits at work so we're trying to balance who goes in early/stays late. Again, I feel like DH is acting like his work is more important. The reality is he has less resources at work but I still have stuff to get done. I can't wait for the long weekend.

[meggypoo1]

This weekend we packed, cleaned, and moved things. Clara was a terror yesterday.
This week I'm looking forward to my 4 day weekend. It's Clara's birthday on Friday so I'm off!

[rainbowsockmonkey]

This weekend sucked. It rained all day friday and Saturday. Dh did take Dd2 out shopping for a daddy daughter date on Friday, so got to hang out with Dd1. It was nice only,having her around for a few hours.

Saturday Dd1 was sick and just laid around. Yesterday we took the girls to a "firemans breakfast". We ate lunch there and got,to ride around town in a fire truck. I talked with the fire chief, and he is interested letting me do a carseat check up event there this summer.

This week: I go back home Wed and have a seat checkup Wed and Thurs evenings. Thurs morning I'm meeting up with my SIL and her MOPS group for a playdate at a park. Dh also,has his job interview on Thursday morning.

[comicSans]

Friday we got delicious Greek food and pastries. Saturday we walked around to some yard sales then went to a "family festival" that was good last year but lame this year, but Dd enjoyed some bounce houses. The we grilled and ate on the deck because it was beautiful. Sunday we went to the outlets because most of my summer stuff doesn't fit, in a good way, and I got some shorts and a couple shirts from loft. It's always nice just to spend time as a family.

H is oot again this week. Praying my kids sleep well and don't try to kill me. No concrete plans but I'll find some ways to get us out of the house over the next couple of days. I've been doing pretty good with working out or at least getting a good walk in most days, so I plan to keep that up. It's easier to workout at night when h isn't here because I'm not sacrificing chill time with him.

[NJgirl84]

Saturday we had music class and went to a touch a truck.

Sunday we saw the ILs. It could have been worse but I was still pissy and they found ways to annoy me.

This week I'm super busy at work, I'm hoping I can catch back up soon and it will slow down so . We are also getting our backyard redone, leveling it out and adding a boulder walk to keep it from washing away. I can't wait!

This upcoming weekend we have a wedding and it's black tie. I'm both looking forward to it and dreading it. It's someone DH works with and there are only a few people from his job invited. But it's a "fanceh" night out without kids. It will be fun to get dressed up.

This weekend was good in some ways and crappy in others (see my post in the private board). DD1 seemed mostly back on track today aside from bedtime nonsense but that's basically normal at this point. DD2 was so good all weekend so we got cocky and decided to transition her to her crib from her rock & play. She fell asleep on her own for her first nap today but struggled with the others. Getting her to bed took a long time. The rest of the week consists of meeting with our family friend who is going to watch the baby a few days for us when I go back to work, the wake & funeral for my friend and DD1's spring show at school. She has off on Friday and Monday for Memorial Day but as of right now we have no plans.

Well everyone knows I was on vacation lol.
It was fun.
I just got done having a 3 hour migraine while H was still at work and I had both kids. Somehow meds kicked in and it stopped pounding and I stopped feeling like puking. Why do migraines make me puke?

[SpinsOffResonance]

We had a really good weekend. Went to a couple yard sales Saturday, lunch at Five Guys, then went to DD's friend's party at the playground. Sunday we went to MIL's, I took DD1 To Home Depot to get moving boxes and a fire pit, went to Dick's to buy fishing poles, then spent the afternoon playing with the neighbors in the yard and roasting marshmallows!

The salesman at Dick's Sporting Good took pity on me. He saw me starring at the hundreds of fishing pole looking totally clueless. DD1 next to me in her Elsa costume. He came over, handed me a Disney Frozen fishing pole and ask if that was what I was looking for!! Yes, yes that is exactly what I was hoping to find and didn't even know it! who knew they make character kids fishing poles?! DD has been totally obsessed with going fishing, no idea where she got the idea, but that's all she's been talking about for weeks! Guess what we're doing next weekend...

I love being alone with just one kid. They're not even the same person when I'm 1 on 1 with them. There is zero drama, they are sweet, helpful and adorable. No tantrums, just hugs and kisses. I need to convince DH to do more 1 on 1 time on the weekends

[activebaby]

This weekend was pretty good. Got to see my family! It can be stressful and I complain, but I love them very much. My mom just bosses me around and doesn't listen to me. Ds' birthday party was Saturday. It was so great. He was happy and had so much fun = success! Sunday it was raining. My brother is still here until the morning. I don't want him to go! He watched ds1 today and ds2 went to daycare. It was great bonding time for them.

This weekend we did some shopping and went to my cousins 3 yo's birthday party. It's been raining here for about 2 weeks straight. Tomorrow the weather finally supposed to start getting better. Friday and Saturday we are having a garage sale, so we'll be doing a lot of prep work this week.
