Weekend High/Low

[momtex]

Ugh, it's Monday.  


What were the highs and lows of your weekend?  

[momtex]

High: We threw my mom a surprise birthday party for her 60th and actually managed to keep it a surprise even though obstacles kept coming up.

Low: My head is about to explode from whatever is floating around the air here. Allergies suck.

[wannabmama]

High: Saturday MH and I had a great day working around the house and achieved a lot and enjoyed the whole day.

Low: Sunday we tried to take our dogs (who are stir crazy from winter) on a walk and MH couldn't find the place he wanted to go, the dogs were simpering loudly in the car bc they were so excited and then when we finally found a place to go (not place H wanted to go) one of the dogs decided to bark like a maniac when he saw other dogs. H went into bad mood land and took a couple hours to recover. Luckily he did and we had nice evening (grilled steaks yum!)

High: Managed to get a lot done in the yard, several plants and veggies planted. Played around with a new camera MH got me for my birthday back in January - now that there are gorgeous blooms to take pics of!

Low: I'm with you, momtex, on the allergy front. The pollen count here is ridiculously high. And nothing is less attractive than waking up to a sheen of yellow blanketing your cars and everything else. Ugh!

High: A fabulous nap on Sunday! Good weekend with my boys, low key not crazy running around, very enjoyable.

Low: Horrible headache on Saturday... no nap

[luvmyponies]

High: Rode my horse for the first time in three months.

Low: Had to clean up three months worth of manure in the paddock.

momtex,love high/lo! thanks for posting! Especially because I'm doing everything I possibly can to avoid work this morning!
High - took my little sister to NYC for her 16th birthday for the day Saturday! I had so much fun not doing the tourist thing and just eating, shopping and people watching. We also got some good girl talk in - I try to slide in the ol' "if you get drunk and you need me, call me, no questions asked" wink wink talk. She did fess up that she's sexually active and it hurt like a punch to the gut but we talked about everything. I'm glad she's open with me.

Low - Sore feet from walking. Also, had my mother over last night and I wasn't really feeling like hanky panky even though we need to because I trigger tonight.(going in for US in a few hours) I didn't get to drink wine either - wAAAAAAH!

If we lived closer, I'd love to take some of that off your hands, luvmyponies! Every year MH asks for horse manure for our garden and flower beds...which seems to make the plants flourish!

We definitely have plenty of it! All nice and composted from sitting around all winter!!

High: we moved our furniture into our new house. It's so nice to have some breathing room!
Low: This was today, but my first drive to work from the new house took an hour (it's an 8-mile drive). I really, really hope that's not typical.

[zombiesquad]

High: Took DS to the zoo. She absolutely loved it and squealed at everything.

Low: The handle to our rear lift gate on our car broke. We had to take everything out of the back from the inside to get to the release button. Now we're going to have to take it in, but I'm determined to find a way to fix it myself.

High- H was finally able to get his son on Sunday and C was able to see his brother. We don't get him very often due to his mother being a pain in the ass but it was so nice to see C and his brother playing and having such a good time.

Low- looked at my house after C, his brother, and H destroyed it, due to having such a good time and then I got pissed. Does every toy in the whole house need to be pulled out. Really H? The clean up song was used, but I ended up doing it by myself towards the end.

Morning Ladies!!
High - Had a really chill weekend. Got my house cleaning done. Took baby girl to jazz class. Got my nails did. Went out to dinner with friends. Just hung out and relaxed.

Low - I can't really explain it, but Saturday and sunday night I feel like I had really disturbing dreams that I can't remember, but made me wake up feeling kind of "off" .. almost depressed. Weird....

[vh2014]

Love this thread!

High- lots of time outside with DH.. got yard done, had a nice little fire in the fire pit, went out to eat just the two of us.

Low- DH has allergies so had to listen to that last night (it makes him miserable)

[URMySunshine77]

Hi everyone! I enjoyed reading about your weekends.

High: Having a lazy weekend with not much scheduled.

Low: I was feeling oppressive anxiety due to hormones. I was feeling anxious about taking care of DS since toddlers are so unpredictable and DH was in a bad mood.

[wannabmama]

URMySunshine77 bad mood Hs are the worst

That's right wannabmama--I meant to refer to your husband's "bad mood land." That is so applicable here!

My father was the same way, and I just learned to make myself scarce.

High - Husbands bday on Sunday. Ended up going to late lunch at a local brewpub that is dog friendly. Our son had a blast with all the dogs and our youngest dog, Annie was unbelievably well behaved.

Low - My 15 year old dog is nearing the end of her life and I'm terrified I'm going to have to make that call. It's been awful watching her age and its gotten worse the last week. I don't know how I'll say goodbye.

momtex, agpjt413, Me 3! AZ is awful right now too and I'm so done with allergy season!!!

[agpjt413]

scorpioscuba - Your "high" sounded like a lot of fun!!Happy belated to your H! I'm so so sorry for your "low" though Losing a pet is never easy & I hope yours will have some more time with you guys. Is she sick or just old? Our oldest Furbaby is 12 but acts like he's 4 so let's hope he has several more yrs with us left. As for the allergies, I'm SO happy I can get by with a children's dose for Zyrtec! One tablet lasts 24 hrs & since its been raining here every other day (or at least a sprinkle to wash some of the pollen away, I haven't had to take it everyday!

Ugh!!! That happened to our car a couple of yrs ago on our last day of vacation!! Except the whole "door" was locked completely so after we packed the car (it's a 2-door SUV), I had to climb through from the front to get whatever H wanted or needed during the trip. What a PITA!! I hope you can DIY - got my FX'd for you!!

I'm so sorry about your dog, I know exactly how you feel. My dog is 14 and I just don't even want to think about making that call. No matter how long I have a dog I always wish they lived longer.

[wannabmama]

scorpioscuba I'm sorry about your older dog. It's the only bad thing about dogs, they just don't live long enough. What a lucky dog to have a wonderful home for its life with a family that loves her.

[nikolie93]

Hey ladies! Yay for all your highs and *hugs* for you lows.

scorpioscuba, I'm so sorry about your pup. I had to make the decison with my 19 year old cat about 7 months ago and I was so very hard. Just remember to think of their quality of life and the fact we wouldn't want them to suffer. So many *hugs* to you

As for me :

High: I bought lots and lots of coolorful workout clothes!

Low: I tried to call my dad out of habit before I realized he's no longer here. It brought forth a ton of emotions

Thanks ladies! ((Hugs)) She is old and her body is failing her. It's hard because her mind is still there 100% and she wants to do things her body won't let her. Her back legs are losing their strength and she is losing control of her bodily functions, if you know what I mean. She still wants to run and play but she just can't. Right now I'm just trying to love her up as much as I can and then we'll have to pick the date. 

[URMySunshine77]

I am so sorry, scorpioscuba. Dogs are family.

[luvmyponies]

nikolie93 I'm so sorry about your dad ((hugs))

scorpioscuba I know exactly what you mean... my dog has no idea she's 14. We had to put a gate at the bottom of the stairs so she'd stop trying to go up without us. I feel like she's taught me much... she never feels sorry for herself, she just adapts and tries to keep going!

[Deleted]

scorpioscuba, just more commiseration on the pet front. It is not easy no matter the circumstances.

nikolie93, ugh that's rough.

[tiresiastheblond]

I'm sorry, scorpioscuba. Hugs.

[tiresiastheblond]

nikolie93, I know it's been a little while, but I'm so sorry about your dad. Big hugs to you.

High: Scored a great playset for DD on Craigslist, broke it down, moved it to our house and got it half painted! Then Sunday had a great afternoon at my MIL's Ladies Day Tea Fundraiser for her Church. I won an essential oil package and hr. long massage!

Low: DH being a flake and making me tell him he couldn't go out and socialize after volunteering at the Tea on Sunday since we hadn't gotten any housework and prep for the week done all weekend. It was already 6:00pm. He had a crappy attitude after that. Don't make me the bad guy! He knows how much work Sunday evening are to get everyone ready for the week and it wasn't fair of him to ask me to do everything while he would have had a relaxing evening.
