DS spent the whole night in the crib! No STTN, but not a bad start. We have to start packing today (like, more than the 4 boxes we did last weekend). I'm thinking we'll treat ourselves to the pool this afternoon, too. Just a relaxing weekend.

The MIL is coming this afternoon... Guess who 'has' to go into work this afternoon. No way am I going to be home. Sucks that I have to leave DD but DH will be home so he can deal with it.
I'm headed up to a beach house for my sister's bachelorette party. I've traveled for work, but this is my first time away from DS overnight for purely fun.
I was annoyed with DH because he went to an afternoon baseball game and then stayed out drinking until 2 am last night. The upside is that now I don't feel guilty about leaving him to deal with a teething DS all weekend.

Hi guys! I have been MIA having another crazy week. 1. Business meetings allllll day long. 2. Brother was back in the ER twice this week. They are reassessing his diagnosis - have ruled out epileptic seizures, but he's apparently having non-epileptic ones. He has been referred to a movement disorder specialist and they will keep looking to see what is going on. 3. Have been trying to wrap up car accident stuff too and finally got our new van yesterday. 4. Because of stuff going on with my brother, DH and I have been talking about moving back to Ohio. My boss has known this for awhile and told me this week that my job has the option of being a remote position. So we could move and I wouldn't have to job hunt. That relieves so much stress and then would free me up to job hunt after we move to Ohio.

Hi everyone! Hope you all have great weekends!
We have a contract on our house so we have been busy with all of that. We found a house we loved but the seller accepted another offer. We were told only because they had a sooner closing date. But we cant help our closing date since we are selling out own. So we will be renting for awhile until we find a house.
Nothing planned this weekend except for yard work! It feels like fall outside! Ill jump on the fall time "UO"s. I cant wait!
Hey ladies! We are having a rummage sale together and have a big birthday party tonight. Also trying to find time to go see my brother and his SO in the hospital again today and run them some food. Sounds like they will be there a while
@anm good to see you, but sorry so much crazy has kept you away. It work be a huge relief to by have to job hunt. MrsTinMKE yay rummage sale! It's so fun to get rid of stuff and make a little $$! raesofsunshine1 I would be freaking out! That was our worry with trying to find a house. I hate the thought of moving twice! saraml13 updates! I want to live vicariously through you! sweetsurprise I hardly have self-control in Carter's with a boy! DH went with last weekend and was like "no. No more stuff. Don't spend money. Blah blah." He's a killjoy so from now on, only my mom can go with me to Carter's. All we bought was a pair of soft-soled shoes.
americanninjamommy sorry about your brother hopefully he gets answers soon. That's nice that your job has a remote option that's a huge weight off your shoulders!
I'm at Carters and omg I'm glad I have a boy or I would be poor from buying all the cute girl shit!
Carters early this week had a 33% coupon sale going on..I spent a lot of money on fall girl clothes..I had to restrain myself from buying more. Emma already has a ton of clothes too from my SIL but she needs new right?!
Shocker... We went to a farmers market and then did some wine tasting. We found a cute little wine store that we love. Something we were missing from home.

Bachelorette updates: Beautiful day at the beach on Lake Michigan. Nothing too crazy going on. We ate sandwiches and have been down on the beach since then. I've only had a shandy since I'm pacing myself for a long night. We've mostly been sitting on the beach drinking and chatting. I did some paddle boarding, took a walk on the shore, and read a lot of a book.
Taking a pump break at the house now. I've personally had enough beach time, but will head back down to be a good sport. Snacks and brownies are being broken out now.
kellrr, I was looking at weekend gifs/memes this morning too and you're right, they're all awful! @anm, sorry about your brother but glad to see you back again. That's awesome about your job being able to be remote! saraml13, I am very jealous of your day and upcoming night away. Have fun and keep us updated so we can all live vicariously through you! MrsTinMKE, sorry about your brother have fun at the birthday party. Will there be alcohol? jeniece47, I want your weekends, they always sound so fun!
I worked late again today but it's officially the weekend for me now so I'm happy. My kid was very good at the office these past few days buy hopefully I never have to take her back. It's exhausting working and watching a baby at the same time! Plus my office is just filthy, my kid needs a bath just from crawling around. She had fun exploring though and it everyone just loved have her around. Here she is "helping" mommy lol

kellrr baby steps, and that's a total win! @anm sorry things have been so crazy. Glad for the news on your job and getting your new van! jeniece47 I'm jealous of your Saturday routine! I think my goal for next Saturday is to find a good farmer's market. Can't drink until I'm off the pain pills for my foot though! saraml13 yay for snacks and brownies!
Wendy's chili + fries + shredded cheese from my fridge = amazing chili cheese fries! Mission accomplished. My morning was not fun. Apparently I am a glutton for punishment. I thought it would be fine to try to ride the electric cart at target with ds1 and get my $50 coupon deal. Holy hell was that a bad idea. Matthew was awful, the first cart battery died after I was almost done shopping so we had to go back to the front and move everything to the other one. Then it died in the checkout line. Not to mention all the judgey stares I got while riding it. Even though I have a large surgical shoe and wrapped up fot/ankle. Oh how sad that I can't have booze now and laugh about it.

kellrr - yay to sleeping all night in the crib! Hope packing went well today!
saraml13 - glad you're having fun at the bachelorette party!
@anm - ugh. That sounds like a lot on your plate right now. I hope they can figure out what's going on with your brother. I'm glad you may be able to move closer without the stress of having to find a new job.
staryb - glad dd was good at work for you! And that it's now the weekend!
Errands and Mexican foot for me today. Going to have a night out with friends while DH stays home with dd tonight. Stupid mommy guilt is making me feel bad about it. I'm sure alcohol will help.

Liking for finding a farmers market and the fries not your shitty target experience.
saraml13 thanks for the update! Sounds so fun! We packed for 3 hours and I feel we hardly made a dent. But, it was surprisingly cool today, so we played at the park for an hour instead of the pool. Then DH and I had a beer in our front step while DS napped and talked logistics of the move. It was actually relaxing.

kellrr hope your move goes smoothly. When are you actually moving?
We actually just got a call from our realtor and apparently the people who got the offer on the house we wanted has backed out of the contract so the seller called asking if we still wanted it! Im so excited!

Target has a lot of kids clothes on clearance right now. I lcould have spent a lot of $$ but need to save it for now.
Errands and Mexican foot for me today. Going to have a night out with friends while DH stays home with dd tonight. Stupid mommy guilt is making me feel bad about it. I'm sure alcohol will help.
Hahaha at "Mexican foot"
Also, of course alcohol will help but really you shouldn't feel guilty in the first place. Enjoy your freedom tonight, you deserve it!
