DH has been gone since Sunday and gets home late tonight. It will be nice to have another human to talk to.lol
I think the plan for the weekend is more purging/packing/whatever. We have so much stuff to get rid of, but that means going through every.single.thing. DH just wants to get rid of it all without looking through it, but I keep finding treasures and misplaced items, so I don't want to go along with his method.lol
The flooring samples for the new house are supposed to arrive by fedex tomorrow, so I am looking forward to seeing the colors in person and making a decision.
Tomorrow is my birthday. I thought it might be a good time to go with our neighbors to Dukes in Malibu for a nice meal, one last time before we move, but that might take way too much time out of our work day. Besides, everyone will want Duke's famous hula pie, and I don't like it. ;p I prefer some white or lemon cake, but I could be happy with something else...as long as it isn't chocolate.

I am doing Jazzercise on Saturday morning, then volunteering at a consignment sale for a good part of the afternoon with a baby on my back. I'm not planning on doing much on Sunday, but I need to clean and get organized again. Every paper that comes home from school needs to just immediately get put in the trash because I can't handle all the clutter.
Today I'm off so massive housecleaning, catching up phone calls and internet "errands" (ordering flowers for a friend, random stuff on amazon). I also need a long run in today. I also got some velcro strips to hem my curtains so I'll be doing that at nap time.
The rest of the weekend, some small redecorating, random organizing. Just hanging out. I'm feeling better about life today so hopefully a calm weekend will continue the feeling.
I took today off; so the weekend started this morning. I'm on my third load of laundry, the d/w is almost loaded, walked the dog, handwashed the monster's bed, and internet shopped. Depending on when H stops working today, we may paint a room. We also need to sort through some boxes and gather donations today.
I'm trying to talk H into Ikea, which means leaving here first thing in the morning. We'll see. This weekend we also need to start planning our Passover menu since it starts on the 25th, and we like to plan ahead. We've already picked up our Passover Diet Coke!

R is *finally* over his mancold, so we're planning on a lot of stuff around the house.
Tonight, he's installing shelves in the laundry room. Tomorrow, we're going on a hike in the morning, I think. Then we'll be working on the master bedroom - installing the closet floor and closet system, getting clothing and shoes (finally) put away properly, putting up curtains ... Sunday, I think R wants to do yard cleanup. Blech.
Tonight making reubens and hanging out. Tomorrow during the day de-cluttering a bit, general house cleaning. Maybe doing some shopping for bridal/baby showers. The IL's want to take DD for the afternoon. OH and sampling the Maple Bacon coffee I ordered. Yum. In the evening, I'm having a girlfriend over for wine and dessert. Sunday....churcn and something but I don't remember what.
After my vent/complain wednesday, I got home from work to find DH painting the loft! Yay! So glad that's done. I work on weekends so not sure how much of our closet will get painted since DH is also working Saturday before I go to work.
I was up very late last night packing and moving everything out of our DR and LR (DR has been used as storage space during 2.5 yr remodel). Then DH woke me up early to move the big furniture with him. He was tearing out the carpet as I went to work.
Today - DH and FIL are installing the new laminate in the LR. When I get home DH & I will move all of the furniture back into the LR so the DR is clear. I'm going to keep working on taping out my closet wall pattern as well.
Tomorrow - Up bright and early to drive up to my parents to sand wood and cut the rest of the trim. It's only going to be a high of 30 so we're going to have to dress warm for the semi-heated shed.
At night try to finish up the last little paint touch ups in the stairs and master bath.
Sunday - Install the laminate in the DR. Go buy quarterround and stain. Clean up area in garage where laminate was sitting blocking our tool storage.
Then there are one billion other small house projects to clean, make, and do before we host Easter but I'm not sure when those are happening.
Tonight: Movie night with DH and I'll cook dinner. Tomorrow: Errands, groceries, light workout, washing sheets! After I'm done with chores, I'll be relaxing with magazines and PINTEREST! Whoot! Tomorrow Night: DH has a performance about an hour away. When he gets back (LATE that night) I'm sure we will be just relaxing before bed. Sunday: Not sure yet. I want to start going back to this church nearby. I know DH will be exhausted from the night before though. We'll see.
