I'm still recovering from the wedding Saturday night. My old lady/mommy hip hurts and my feet are still swollen. Walking all over the city yesterday didn't help either situation.
Got to hang out with my sister, just the two of us. I got to get some things off my chest that I'd been holding in, she was surprised but helpful. Then we went out and drank too much. She shamed a German regarding his choice in beer, that was highly entertaining. Then we finished the night at the hotel bar, then fell asleep watching the first GI Joe movie because there was no tv remote in our room and we were too lazy to stand by the tv scrolling through the channels.
Yesterday, the kids gave us cards and the dog wouldn't let us out of his sight. DH was quite pleased.
I had a GREAT weekend. Saturday, I had a great day with ESD and Muddled. We had a great lunch, dessert at Chocopologie and walked around the Yale campus area. It was such a beautiful day. Then abs made a rare appearance and it was so nice to see everyone!!!
Yesterday, H and I went to breakfast at my new favorite breakfast place (ESD- it was Leos!) and then he spent the day doing yard work and I spent the day cleaning the house (yay). But we got the carseat installed in both my car and his car so I was proud of us. Now they'll actually let us take her home!
I had a good weekend too! Friday night and into Saturday I helped out with our Relay for Life team. DH and I took our foster pup to rescue event on Saturday and he did really well! Then we headed into downtown for a local brewery beerfest and dinner.
Yesterday was just some errands, cleaning and a run. I also listed our foster pup as available on our rescue's website. I'm so sad over this, I love him so much. I hope we can find him the most perfect home.
My weekend was okay. I fell asleep on the couch Friday night instead of making it to any of the things I'd been invited to do. Had good food with my parents on Saturday and then yesterday I got a mani-pedi and got my mother's help in touching up my roots.
I think my whole weekend was a bit marred by the shit I dealt with at work on Friday. I was feeling better until I started thinking about going in today. Ugh. I know I'll get past it, but right now it sucks.
My weekend was ok. I got some things done, but not as much as I would have liked. And I'm sick.
One of the kids I feel like I could really help (I just took over his case) was expelled because they were sick of him having incidents. Even though they've gotten better over time, the people making the decision apparently couldn't understand why a kid who's classified as emotionally disturbed didn't just change his behavior after a few talks with them. To be fair, he had upwards of 40 incidents in the 2 school years he's been there, but we're a therapeutic school and there was no getting therapist input for this decision.
The second, bigger thing is that one of the students reported that one of the staff had been making comments that made her feel uncomfortable. I was asked to check in and make sure she was doing okay, then, because I saw something while we were talking and because she told me what he said, I had to write a witness statement for HR. I was at work until 6:30 (instead of 4:30) on Friday dealing with this. He's on administrative leave. I just feel gross about the whole thing.
I had a very loverly Saturday. Brad was waiting for m at the train station to escort me home, which was nice. Then he told me that the Wicked tickets I missed out on to see Imoan and ESD were THIRD ROW!!! Maaaaaaan!
Sunday was a beautiful day. We took it easy most of the day. Except for W2D3.

You keep making me feel more and more guilty for this. You know I would've ditched your ass for free Wicked tickets This is what you get for being a better friend than I am!

Had I known they were third row, I probably would have ditched you too.

Everyone's weekends sound really fun! Except Tiramisu who gets a big hug. That sounds shitty.
I had a great weekend. Saturday, Boyfriend and I went to a national monument and did some hiking and exploring. I touched a real dinosaur fossil and saw petroglyphs. On the was out of the park there was this big thing on the road and I couldn't tell what it was, when I stopped to see I was attacked (in my car) by a giant wild turkey! I will PIP in a second.
Then we went to an engagement party which was pretty boring but there was tasty pie. The only downer is that I got a speeding ticket on theway to the national monument.
Sunday involved taco truck tacos and cleaning. But felt really productive so it was also excellent.
I had a pretty cool weekend. I went to an Antique car race on Saturday. I got to sit in a original Mini cooper. I drive a new one. I would love to own an old one. H and I had fun hanging out there and making friends with other car people. Sunday it rained. All-DAY-LONG it was miserable. So I made a roast for today's dinner and stirfry for yesterday.
In other randomness. I made a photo book from my vacation back in November and it arrives today! I can't wait.

tiramisu, that sounds awful! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that! I would have been emotionally drained by the end of the day! I would have fallen asleep on the couch too!
My weekend was pretty ok. I decided to go bowling to "celebrate" H's birthday, although we acknowledged each other's presence a total of 4 times the entire evening. I, however had a blast hanging out with 2 of my closest girlfriends, and dancing inbetween frames.
Saturday, H went to a friend's house to watch UFC. I opted to stay home with DS, knowing that the ILs would drop him off around 3 without a nap. DS ended up going to bed at about 8, and I had a nice quiet evening to myself.
Yesterday was another day of tackling Mt. Laundry and not much else.

Oh yeah! AND I took a shirt back to Old Navy that I foolishly didn't try on before purchasing. I exchanged it for a coral colored "fit & flare" tank dress, some new summery earrings, and a coat for DS for next winter and only ended up paying a difference of $16!

Saturday I went grocery shopping for the first time in well over a month. I've had so many health issues over the past month H has been doing it every weekend. They had moved everything around in the produce department it took me forever to find everything. But it was nice to get out and do something relatively normal after being off my feet for so long being sick and everything else.
Sunday I cooked like a fiend since we're stocking up the freezer for post-baby. In the past couple of weeks I've one through two pork shoulder roasts, one chuck roast, and a London broil. I love my chest freezer so very much.
Other than that my weekend mainly centered around the vagaries of potty training.
As for fun, getting a lie-down with the heating pad for an hour in the afternoon is all that counts for fun for me these days. My ass feels like the Deuce is pushing a sledgehammer onto my tailbone round the clock, so I'm pretty limited in what I can and want to do other than avoiding sitting and getting up and down as much as possible.
I grew up on a farm and we had turkeys. They're assholes. /gavel
My dad finally got the shits of herding them back into their enclosure (they'd get cranky and fly out the top) so he just stopped doing it. So now there's about 100 wild turkeys around my dad's house. It's odd knowing that they all came from the 8 asshole turkeys that used to chase me around the pasture. It's also odd seeing a flock (gaggle? swarm?) of turkeys that big. They're always together.
We just had our deck replaced last week so we spent the weekend shopping for patio/deck furniture. We didn't get anything yet. Maybe this coming weekend.

Yeah it's not "health issues" like something is wrong or worrying. Just more like one goddamn motherfucking thing after another my whole third trimester. I got really sick for like a month and am just now feeling better. Everything else is just the usual pregnancy discomforts (all of them it would seem) hitting my 37-year-old (emphasis OLD) body hard.
Not sure I'm one to give authoritative potty training tips. Just try to stay positive at all times and sensitive to where your kiddo is at emotionally. Mine's on a real independence kick right now, so I'm playing up how he's in control of his potty use, whereas if he chooses diapers he has to do things mom and dad's way. So giving him the choice but framing it in a way that ties his current general motivations more toward the potty.
