Yeah for your foster pup! I'm going to miss seeing pics of him He's a gorgeous dog.
I got a TON done this weekend. Weeded and mulched the garden, cleaned the carpets, went to a playdate at my brother's, started cleaning out the car (got the car seat out, washed the covers, picked up a bit), made an apple pie, and altered a shirt for a friend.
I hurt all over.
I have a doctors appointment at lunch today. I'm talking the afternoon off to wash my car.

I am happy and sad your foster found a forever home. He seems so sweet.
Friday, DH and I hung out and are pizza while watching an episode of supernatural. No real talking as he spent an hour or two reading before hitting the showers. We missed the kids and he was a little peeved that we couldn't get a date night out of the deal because he had to work on Saturday.
I went to see Iron Man 3 on Saturday, while I was waiting for the movie to start, I had a quick lunch and some scotch. But my book buying expedition was stymied by a torrential downpour. The kids came home around 6, had light snacks and went to bed. DH came home around 9:30 (they gave him extra work on Saturday).
Yesterday, the elder ones and I took the dog for a quick walk. Then my bookends (DD & DS #2) did our grocery shopping while DH napped with DS #1.
Incidentily, DS #1 has discovered he likes sleeping on the floor better than his own bed--I don't know why.
Aw, doglove, that's great but also really sad. I am happy for his adorable smiling face.
I should've been studying this weekend, but I tried to do online practice tests and my laptop shut down. It seems the fan stopped working. So instead of studying from the books I have, I cleaned and organized my closet and part of my bedroom. My clothes are finally hanging in rainbow color order again! And I have 2 bags of donations to take to Goodwill/The Salvation Army.
Our foster pup has found his new home. I am so sad/happy about this. I have a few days left to love on him before we bring him to his new home.
I'm happy for him and sad for you.
I know this is how I feel. I'm already a blubbery mess about the whole thing. We never let the dogs sleep in the bedroom, but he fell asleep beside my side of the bed last night and DH just left him there. He slept there all night and was there when I woke up. He is just going about 10 minutes down the road though and the people said I have an open invitation to visit him if I ever want to, so that makes me feel a little better.
We went to a gigantic chicken bbq (it's billed as the "world's largest"... no idea if that's true) on Saturday at a community park. We go to it every year. It was fun-ish this year since DS is able to sit and eat and play at the playgrounds.
The ILs invited themselves along, that's why it was only fun-ish. MIL has a way of sucking any and all fun out of the air. Some year, we're going to go to this thing alone and I won't have to hear her bitching and complaining and criticizing for hours on end. Some year...
Otherwise, I cleaned up my flower beds in the rain which was oddly fun. I started on it and part way through, it started pouring. I just kept going. H thought I lost my mind.
Friday night went to a work HH and then out to dinner with my friend and her family to celebrate her graduation.
Saturday was the gym, then P and I went to a local festival and out to a nice dinner.
Sunday was the gym, then we did a divide and conquer. He worked on my yard while I cleaned my house. 2.5 hours later my house was sparkling and the yard is 95% done. Then we went and hit golf balls (disaster) and I made a bomb jerk chicken pizza for dinner. Mmm....

I'm glad he's going to a forever home and that you can visit him!
Friday evening was good. H and I had a nice evening together.
Saturday our friend from CA was visiting. He is one of our camp mates from Burning Man. It was nice to see him not all dusty. We were supposed to all go to the park with PF, but it started raining. So we went for awesome sushi and then we hung out at our place.
Sunday I tackled PF's clothing. Went through everything and reorganized her dresser. I wood burned and painted the box for the clothes pin dolls for my friend's kid, lounged about a little. Let PF take an almost 4 hour nap. H spent the day writing a paper. It was a disgustingly rainy day.
PF has decided that 5:15am is the BEST time to wake up crying. I think it has to do with her decongestant wearing off. I can't really let her cry it out right now because that causes her to puke. I comfort her, I change her diaper if she needs it and I lay her back down. If she continues to cry, I don't have a choice - I have to get her up, otherwise she'll cry herself to vomiting. So the last 2 days I've parked her on the couch with Sesame Street and gone back to bed. I hope this is just a phase because she's ends up a beastly tired mess by noon. This would be why she had the almost 4 hour nap yesterday.
Oh! Do you guys remember that weird dream I posted about a week-ish ago (the housefire one)? I checked the dream dictionary I have at home, it says seeing a house on fire means I have a faithful, loving partner, obedient children, and basically positive prospects. Ditto for seeing a firetruck (as long as it's not in a wreck, which it wasn't). It's an old dream dictionary, so I don't know if I buy it.
DG, about the same. Last night he mowed the lawn late, came in and went upstairs to shower--by the time he came downstairs, the kids were in bed and I was falling asleep on the couch. He tried to get me to stay up and watch an episode of GOT with him, but I was too tired.
We had a low-key evening on Friday, which was nice but it didn't move us forward at all.
I am scared, stressed, and sad. I can't wait to talk to the counselor next week because I need to figure out where my head is at.

This weekend had lots of fun points. Dinner and a movie at my house with my BIL and FSIL Friday night. I made slow cooker chicken bbq It came out awesome. Saturday was a bit dreary but got a lot of chores done. Yesterday was the best. They closed down a large portion of the main street here for bikes and people to just walk around and have fun. It was great. I think H and I biked for about 4+ hours. It rained a little but I had bought a rain jacket on Saturday. It came in handy.

Thanks ladies. I don't think he realizes that this is still bothering me, he thinks things are okay. And they are okay sometimes--when he's totally present, things are good but that just doesn't happen as much as it used to. Now I'm getting stuck in my own head and it might be causing me to pull back when I might otherwise push him a little harder.
I'm doing laundry and about to go to a choir audition! One of my college friends is in it and they need sopranos for next season. I am so excited to be a part of a choral group again, you guys. With male voices!
Last night I had one of those first dates where their photos were not like how they were in person. He also didn't talk much and meh. Bust.
Back from camping and it was a lot of fun but I'm glad to have alone time again.
I am glad he found a home. He is too cute, hope his new family takes great care of him.
Saturday I went to my SIL's Pure Romance party. She threw it to get all her friends, my other SIL, an me together as it would have been her wedding day. There's NOTHING awkward about passing giant dildos to your SIL. Nothing. LOL But it was kind of fun. I'd been dreading it a little because I figured it'd be weird but it wasn't bad. She made a Jello shot bundt cake. Mmmm.
Sunday was my birthday party. My parents showered me with many new baking items since our new oven is awesome and I can finally bake things properly.
Woke uo this morning with pinkeye. Bleh. I'd just put in new contacts about a week ago. They have to go in the trash now.

Pinkeye suuucks. DD told me one of her friends at school has it, she came to school with it--now I'm going to be on high alert to see if she comes down with it. The teachers sequestered the girl but yipes.
PS: I haven't had a solid chance. I was just kind of glad to just be with him on Friday, it felt good that he was interested and invovled. He was going out of his way to spend time with the kids yesterday too, so maybe it's just slow progress. I know I have to tell him, but I think I am going to come at it from a "I need to get my head straight" perspective because that's true and whatever is going on in my head may be causing me to blow things out of proportion.
Nothing from the engineer. Sad face. I do have a date tonight with someone not quite as swoonworthy but with a wicked sense of humor. He's a good flirt. Lol.
doglove, I'm happy that your foster found a great home. But I'm a little sad that home's not with you. I know that this gives you an opportunity to help more doggies and really spread your love around, but I'm going to miss seeing his smiling face.
My weekend was pretty good. I spent a lot of it alone with DS which was nice. H didn't get home last night until almost 9. He was irritated that I didn't have DS in bed yet, but I couldn't wake the poor kid up after his nap! I tried 3 times before he finally came out of his room at 7:30. Trying to get him into bed at 8:30 would have been a disaster, so I just let him play until 10.
While DS was napping I turned on a movie that I haven't seen in forever. About half way through it I was cursing myself because the dang movie always makes me cry. Every.Time. Before I knew it, I was a blubbering mess. All the frustration and stress I've been feeling just poured out of me. It felt good to have that release, but I'm eternally grateful that DS was sleeping and H was gone so I didn't have any witnesses.
I did almost nothing productive all weekend on the house. I now have 4 days to get all the laundry done, get myself and DS packed for our 4 day trip (H can do his own packing), pick up food for the trip, and clean the house. I may need a vacation to prepare for my vacation! LOL

cuddlyevil - hugs, it takes a lot of time to figure out big stuff like this. Also, when I was little I slept in the floor for a few years. Then one day I decided to sleep in my bed again and it stuck. doglove - I am going to miss pics of your pup! I bet the next foster will be just as loveable. Doggies have that effect on people. I love that you get to visit him though! I feel like TIP had a very productive weekend. I didn't... Oh well...
On Saturday I had to go buy a new tape measurer because one of my teachers is very specific about supplies. My other 5 tape measurers were not adequate. Then I took River to the vet because of the cut on his paw. Goodbye money. I love our vet though so I feel less bad about giving them money. On Sunday we had dinner at my parents house with my grandparents who are in town. That was... Nice... I suppose. My grandparents are sort of frustrating so I am glad they aren't staying at my house.
I don't know why I forgot that I am volunteering at the HRC gala in three weeks. Now I have to make myself an evening gown like... Now... I am going to the fabric store in a bit. I have no idea what I even want.
Good weekend! Went on my first outing sans Lorelai on Saturday. Went to Target and Babies R Us because we literally only owned 5 newborn onesies (and the newborn size is still big on her to begin with). I spent $100 on newborn onesies. But we sure as shit have the 0-3 month range covered for onesies and outfits. Note to self: always give a few newborn outfits at baby showers going forward. Everyone seems to avoid buying newborn now.
Yesterday, we left Lorelai and Godson (BFF's baby) with my ILs and went to see The Great Gatsby. And it was FUCKING INCREDIBLE! Then we headed back to check on them and they were doing so well that the ILs insisted we go back out for dinner. We had a great dinner at this local Mexican place and I had my first mojito since my Bermuda cruise in August (which just so happens to be when I got knocked up with Lorelai). It was fucking delicious!

I haven't posted here in a long time! I've been so busy with work and I have a millions things going on in my life right now. I'm on my lunch break right now. Lots of things seem to have changed on these boards!
Prom was this weekend. It's a really big deal here. All of the high schools in the area have one big post prom that's done red carpet style and they have laser tag, etc. The kids parade from their schools in antique fire engines, limos, buses, etc. People buy tickets to get front row seats to watch the kids walk into prom. I'm not sure how many kids usually attend, but there has to be close to 1000. Nine schools participate.
My DS and his date made the local paper's website. Not sure if the picture will work. I've never attached a picture on this website.
