Friday/Weekend Plans

[summer]

I'm guessing it's going to be kind of dead here today...but in case you are around. ;-)

After the whirlwind MIL visit, we are planning on a whole lotta nothing this weekend. My parents wanted to come up tomorrow, and while I would really like them to so DH and I could go out alone, we both agree that their inability to show up on time - or anywhere near the time they said they would - is more stress than it's worth.  But I have to say, after the sh*tshow that was my MIL, I am appreciating more and more how much my parents want to be involved in my kids' lives.

I'm hoping we decide to do a day trip somewhere...maybe the Jelly Belly Factory or even just walking around one of the nearby downtowns, or our own downtown.  I've been in the house a lot this week, with DS being sick and DD having some kind of growth spurt that causes her to sleep like no one's business.  On the other hand, it's supposed to rain tomorrow, so...indoor activities will probably win.

DH is supposedly getting home early today, so I'm hoping I can knock grocery shopping out late this afternoon and then have the whole day free tomorrow.  :-)

What are y'all up to?

Catching up on work --- we've had 2 weeks of snow/ice in NC, with lots of daycare closures. It's making my work life completely impossible.

tonight just relax, I am fighting the awful cold. Tomorrow a massage, which I can't wait for and then we are grilling steaks and having cocktails, Sunday, redoing my closet and laundry lol I am so boring lol

Working all weekend DH started a new job recently and is working later hours so it will be nice for him and DD to have the weekend together though!

My weekend is going to suck, my husband has to work all weekend, and it will be snowing. Add to that I am on a sugar free diet to see if that will help my damn reflux that has not stopped for weeks now, so I can't bake me some comfort foods or drink a Dr. Pepper. I have no vices in life, I need vices damn it!

We have no plans, which is fine by me. Today, I went to target and the grocery store. Tomorrow, I plan to not leave my house, so cleaning and playing with the kids. Sunday, dh works. I will probably take the kids to church, if my dad feels up to go going. And then more nothing.

I came home from work early today. Our usual Friday babysitter is sick, so DH kept an eye on DD while he worked this morning, then I came home for the afternoon shift. She's napping right now and I'm considering taking a nap myself. ;-)

Tomorrow my cousin is coming over for lunch with her 5 month old little girl and she's going to look through some of DD's old clothes that will otherwise be donated, and DD and I will be on our own for the evening because DH has a show that night. I might see if anyone is around and wants to hang out, or we might have a quiet night at home. Sunday DD and I are taking my best friend out to brunch for her birthday, and that afternoon DH is teaching a sketch writing class so I'll probably hang out and read while DD naps. I got Cary Elwes' memoir for Christmas, but I had a hold list at the library about a mile long, so I had to tackle those books as they came in first.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love that I've been carving out time to read again??

Tomorrow is DS's second birthday! We had a little celebration at my parents' last weekend, so honestly, I'm not going to make a big deal out of it tomorrow. the main reason, though, is because tomorrow we're flying to my sister's wedding in Curacao (what better activity to do with a two year-old than twelve hours of flying?). We overnight in Toronto tomorrow, then fly south on Sunday morning.

[cinnasugar]

Dinner out with friends tonight at a fish fry (I'm Catholic and so on Fridays during Lent we eat ALL the fish). Then tomorrow DD has ballet in the morning. DH's birthday is tomorrow but we'll likely be getting snow so I went to the grocery store today for salmon and steak and am going to make him a nice dinner in. Sunday if it isn't still snowing, there is a consignment sale I want to hit up. We live exciting lives, people.

Saturday night I'm going out with friends for tacos and margaritas. Me gusta mucho.

Saturday night is Moms night out at a Mexican place for me too. My margarita will have to be virgin though, because I got a BFP this morning.

Congratulations hangryhedgehog!
My mom offered to come take the kids tomorrow and keep them over night. Which after all the ice/snow....Seriously ya'll my school has had 8 snowdays in the past two weeks. Both the kids and I have had enough indoor family time. We have no real plans, but I do plan on sitting in silence for at least an hour.

[laketide]

hangryhedgehog YAY!!!!! Congrats!

It's going to be a busy weekend. We're taking the kids to have 2 year pictures taken tomorrow morning. This is attempt #2. Last time DD did not take a liking to the photographer and had a grumpy frowning face if she was willing to even look in the photographer's direction. It was such a disaster we didn't buy any pictures and just rescheduled. I'm resorting to major bribes tomorrow. Either M&Ms, or ice-cream when we come home.

After that we're having a couple of DH's coworkers over for snacks/drinks in the afternoon, and then we have a 3-year-olds birthday to go to with the kids around dinnertime.

Sunday morning I'm supposed to have coffee with a friend, which is pretty much the only me-time I ever get anymore. I'm hoping we don't have to cancel due to snow/ice. After that I need to grocery shop and then we may be having company for dinner.

I don't know how this many things ended up getting crammed in one weekend!

[colinsfebmommy]

Omg congrats!!!!!

Last night I took the kids to my parents' house for a little while so that DH could get some work done at home. This morning I'm taking DD to the mall because I have to get 2 pieces of jewelry inspected. This afternoon I'm going out shopping with a friend, so that will be nice. It's extremely rare that I get to do anything with a friend sans kids. Then tonight we are meeting up for dinner with DH's family. So it will be a busy day.

Tomorrow is church, and we always go to DH's grandparents' house for supper. And it's the first day of March! Thank goodness. It better start getting warmer now....

My dad called two days ago and was like, "Hey, I'm coming to visit next week. Hope my room's ready!" Uhhhhh, okay? So I'm spending the weekend trying not to hurl (we have a very tense relationship) and cleaning. Why couldn't he come in September or something when I'm allowed to have wine?

[verovladamir]

DH is gone all weekend at a hiring conference. So Thursday I did four loads of laundry. Yesterday I did one load and cleaned out all of Eleanor's clothes that are too small and changed all the sheets in the house. Today I baked cookies and went to the grocery store. All by myself with two sick kids. I'm exhausted....

I have dinner plans with some friends tonight though. My parents are watching the kids for a few hours. It should be nice. In the mean time I'm waiting for the washer to open up so I can do more laundry...

If I didn't have to drive in snow I'd totally have some shots. Fuck winter

Yesterday we went to the Drop in story hour and had cake for breakfast to celebrate Dr. Suess's birthday. Then we had brunch out and did a little shopping. Our girl actuall continued a nap that started in the car once we got home. She was still in her coat and mittens.

My Husband installed the new toilet roll holder in the bathroom. And my Mom and her guy came to visit and we went to dinner after he and my H fixed the garage door opener.

Today I have laundry going. Then we will go meet up with one of my old college roommates at an outlet place and do some shopping. Mostly window shopping as I'm getting serious about budgeting. The. It's grocery shopping and probably a visit from the in-laws.

I love weekends like this.

And congratulations to hangryhedgehog!
