Friday stuff?

[mommyatty]

what's on deck?

I'm supposedly off today, but like yesterday I'm likely to spend the whole day working. My closet didn't get cleaned out like I hoped. I was on email/phone calls until almost 11:00 last night. 

Right now now we have no plans. I may try to get tickets to go see Thomas the Train. I think the kids would love that. Or maybe go to the splash park at the zoo, where we are members, if it's warm.

DD has cooked up some scheme to see the Easter Bunny. Oy vey!

Otherwise just hoping to make SOME progress on the house. New fridge is being delivered Tuesday so I'll have to pull the old one out and clean back there. Scared! It's been...a while.

Supposed to spring clean this weekend, but since I am laid up that is all on hold. Dh is working.

I need to take DS to guitar tomorrow. I then have to go to the funeral home. A friend from high school son was tragically killed. He was Ds's age and played bball with him several yrs. This is going to be rough. May take DS on a mom son date to his favorite Mexican restaurant.

Dd is camping with a friend all weekend. With some of the terrible news going on, I am having high anxiety about this and hope she wants to come home tomorrow.

Sunday we are supposed to go on a 4wheeler /Easter egg hunt. Odd I know, but completely normal for here. I was going to take all of our bikes, but based on the fact that I just had surgery, I am going to have Dh load ds's 4wheeler, drive it up there, have ds unload and he can ride. I will just stay back at the cabin by the lake and rest and be perfectly content. I'll just need someone with a side by side ATV to take Dd so that she can hunt eggs too.

This sounds more odd as I type it out.

SO vent. It is apparent that if I ever get laid up again, I need to tell all the friends who offer help to come by and water and feed me. At 5:30 last night, I was on bed, hungry. Dh was at a friend's fixing a hauling trailer, because that is the most important thing. I call, no real plans for food. He says he told ds to grill burgers. So I am in the kitchen making fries and a tuna casserole for today mumbling to myself about going ahead and making reservations for myself at the home since it is apparent I am on my own in my old age.

I feel like the spring business is in full swing. We have 3 birthday parties this weekend and had one last weekend. How are so many people's birthday right now?! We are also going to a parade, DH has to work the prom and just random other stuff. I love all the fun things but I also like being at home in my jammies at least one day of the weekend and it isn't happening for awhile.

rere26, I think a four wheeler Easter egg hunt sounds awesome!

It is. I wish I could ride. It will be very laid back with kids, which is my kind of riding. 4wheeler bunny trails is all me.

I leave work early today for a pedicure at the fancy spa place. I think I'm going to grab a drink in the bar before my pedicure.
I leave work early tomorrow for a haircut. Way overdue.
Sunday is going to be the longest work day ever because Monday is when we fly to Maui for a week on the beach. I am so excited. Today is my Monday and I came back to work to so many emails I need to respond to before I leave.

Last night my throat felt scratchy and this morning, it still is. Crossing my fingers that it's just allergies and I don't have another cold. I'm training for a 10 mile run in May and have 6 miles to run on Sunday.

The kids have been on spring break this week and track starts next week for dd so I plan to make some meals/food that we can quickly grab this week. We will probably take down the Easter stuff and color some eggs. Other than that, nothing big planned.

This weekend I am camping with fifteen nine year olds. DD had a fever until yesterday, so she is home today still so she doesn't pick up new germs at school and bring them camping.

Based on previous experience, emesis bags are loaded in seat back pockets....

DH is grocery shopping. We will see how that turns out. Because of DD's food challenges there are specific brands and quantities - hoping he stops to really really read because we are out of some staples and the kids have practices every night next week and I have my last training before my 5K and I have to run Sunday after camping, so I don't have time to re groveety shop.

[librarychica]

I had a donut this morning. It's the little things.

We have a nice weekend coming up. Tonight is a BBQ and games fundraiser at the kids' school. Saturday they have gymnastics and then my parents are coming to watch them while H and I meet some friends for dinner and a movie. I am getting my haircut too. Trying to decide whether to go back to short or keep growing out (my hair is a half-grown-out pixie right now -- not intentionally). Sunday we don't have anything planned.

[sudokufan]

I have to leave in a few to pick DS up and ferry him to a pre-op doctor check up and I'm dreading it. I'm going to get to DC right at lunch, and to the doctor right when he should be napping, so basically the worst possible timing from a preschooler point of view

But hey, weekend!

[tas1883]

I'm working all weekend...

OHSET has a big riding competition at the horse arena this weekend. I told DD about it thinking her and H could go Saturday while I'm at work. No she doesn't want to go with daddy she only wants to go with mommy because daddy doesn't care about horses. Ahh So the competition finishes up on Sunday so I may take her Sunday morning for an hour and then have her come to work and chill aka watch Netflix and then schedule her a riding lesson in the afternoon since she and I will be only 15 minutes away from the stable.

Talk about major mommy guilt

[olenka]

I am WFH today but don't have a lick of work to actually do. Really disliking my job lately, but there is not much else out there. And I am not feeling terribly ambitious anyway. Same old story, same old song and dance.

Tomorrow we're looking at a house. It's on some decent acreage but the house looks pretty sketchy in the pictures. We'll see.

Sunday is SO's birthday. His gift has not arrived from the UK yet, so now I feel like I have to get him a consolation prize gift. We'll go out for sushi, so there's that at least.

[k3am]

I know it's Friday, but I'm choosing to skip sharing my weekend plans and vent.

Have you guys ever heard of the roomba poop story?



Anyways, not quite as gross, but equally obnoxious. Last night DH (thankfully?) forgot to close the hall door, so the roomba goes off and wakes me up. I suddenly hear something fall but choose to ignore it. DS woke up because of it and freaked out, so I decide to check on roomba while I tend to him..

Roomba had banged up against DD's little table forcefully enough that it knocked a wine bottle out of the stand shattered and then spread glass and wine over the entire dining room and kitchen. Our version looked like this:

[leap08]

Our weekend has suddenly filled up. Tomorrow I'm going to try to convince DH to go look at mattresses and bedroom furniture. We need to pick up the house and do some yard work. In the evening we are meeting friends for dinner and a hockey game.

Sunday the girls have hockey in the morning and then we have friends coming over in the afternoon to hang out and BBQ.

[kimberlyb]

k3am , what a mess! I’m going to happy hour tonight with friends. It has been a long week so I’m looking forward to some drinks and adult conversation! No big plans over the weekend. I have some projects around the house I need to get done but I'm not feeling overly ambitious.

[traveltheworld]

DH finishes his exam today - I'm unbelievably excited about the prospect of not having to solo parent for the next 6 weeks! We are heading to a friend's for dinner tomorrow, but other than that, just going to chill.

[leap08]

k3am, I just saw the roomba poop story on FB the other day, and, now, after hearing your story on top of it, I am convinced not to buy one. Sorry you had to wake up to that.

[k3am]

leap08, we still love roomba. If it doesn't survive the bath it took, I'm buying another.

I also don't have pets.

[mustardseed2007]

Very busy stressful week this week. I do think we have a plan or are close to a semblance of one for DS.

His teacher at the montessori school is now on board with having him in kindergarten next year and then evaluating where we want to go at the end of next year. Probably b/c she can see us freaking out and the administration doesn't want to loose us.

I toured the public school and talked with the registrar. She says they see kindergarten repeats, even with winter birthdays all the time. The assistant principal will just talk to the parents and basically do what the parents want to do.

We have a screening scheduled for DS still, but not until May.

I'm looking forward to the weekend. Even though it's going to be really busy also with a neighborhood Easter gathering and easter egg hunt, T ball, T ball pictures, gymnastics....and a big thunderstorm on Sunday. Actually I'm counting the days until Sunday. Maybe I can clean. Or watch TV even.

[tas1883]

DD's riding instructor is awesome! I asked her if the OHSET stuff on Sunday was worth going to and she said yes and she would meet us there and then take DD out to ride after they finished watching so I could work. I totally am in love with my village right now as they have saved me majorly this tax season!

[seamonster]

DS got invited to two class parties on the same day at the same time. H wants me to ask his teachers what to do as he doesn't want one kid to have no kids at their party. I'm going to lie to him and tell him that they said we should just pick one and decline the other because what else would we do and not be crazy people. I don't know why it's so stressful for him.

[mellym]

k3am, what a mess! And who has time to clean that up in the morning!? Sorry.

Hope to go out for hibachi tonight. I have a haircut tomorrow and need to go shopping for my mom's and DH's birthday presents. Then our nephew's birthday party on Sunday.

[CoverGirl82]

I have the day off today. Took DH to his vasectomy appointment this morning. So far, so good, but the next few days he gets to basically lay around. If I had thought about it more, I would've told him to do it on a Monday, so he'd be pretty much healed up by the weekend.

So, I'm basically solo parenting this weekend. No real plans, but I need to plan a few things to do with the kids. We have an indoor/outdoor gardens place that has butterflies in the spring, so I'm going to take the kids there and then someplace for lunch. Then if the weather is nice we can place outside in the afternoon.

[erinshelley21]

My plans for the weekend include taking tons of hot baths and taking antibiotics. I've managed to get another pilonidal cyst. This is my 3rd one and despite sitting on pillows to keep pressure off my tailbone I still got one.

Other than that, no plans. Dh works tomorrow. I may take both kids and go get ds a helmet and glove because tball practice starts Tuesday!!! I'm so excited. We also need to get a birthday present for the little boy that lives across the street. I should probably set up a play date too since they are moving in a couple weeks. Maybe wine and playing on Sunday? Since they moved in either the mom or I have been pregnant so we haven't been able to enjoy wine together.

I didn't realize that this was happening this weekend. I just emailed DH to see if he wanted to check it out next weekend. 

Planning to potty train DS2 this weekend. Also want to check out a new community which will be closer to the ILs (I like my ILs so don't mind moving closer to them) and to work. It's expensive so I doubt that we will pursue it. 

[kbw12]

It's a weekend of spring cleaning and house renovation projects here. There's so much I want to do and I need to prioritized it a down before I lose steam.

[shakinros]

All the sorries k3am. What a sad loss of wine!

[shakinros]

On my list for the weekend (order to be determined): grocery shopping, laundry, gym and swimming with DD, suit shopping (me), Easter dress shopping (DD), a couple hours of work, maybe some yard work if it ever stops raining.

[akafred]

I am watching DD's ninja warrior class warm up and I am filled with an overwhelming desire to scream: "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THINGS HOLY, JUST DO WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO!!!!!"
