We are taking the dog to the groomer tomorrow and wandering around restore a bit. Also headed to rei to buy a tent for our camping trip next weekend. Sunday I'm volunteering for a triathlon, then doing a long swim to see how recovery goes.
We picked up three more serviceberries this week and need to get those planted. We also need to find a master bedroom rug since we decided not to go with the Ikea or West Elm rugs; if we can do that, then we can also get curtains.
Otherwise, lots of homework. Summer school ends in about 2 weeks, and I can't wait.

We've been on vacation in Estes Park, CO all week and we are driving home today. I work the next 7 days straight DH has promised to do the laundry for me this weekend. Here's a few pictures
I just plan on sleeping. DS has turned into a teenager and hasn't gone to bed earlier than 1am all week. I am exhausted.
Probably taking back some boots that I bought from the Nords Anniversary sale and taking DS to see Planes Fire and Rescue. He saw it with the in-laws last week and he said he wants to see it again with us. He asked me to go with them last week when it came out but I had to work.
They started framing the new house so we'll probably go out and take some pictures of the progress. No real plans other than that though.
This morning the tree guys were here, removing dead, diseased and dangerous stuff from the backyard. Not much. We had two dead trees one super skinny and not tall and a skinny cypress with a problem, and we are having the big pine tree (a safety concern) removed now, before we get a fence installed next month (or before it landed on someone's house) and wouldn't be able to get a bucket truck in the backyard.
Sometime this weekend we are going to take 2 of the big plan drawer units out of the studio. They eat up too much space and I need that space so that I can actually fit in there along with my stuff.
I have no idea what else, but I am hoping for lunch or dinner out.
Today the kid's had dr. appts and errands. H and I then took them out for lunch. The help is off all weekend so H is pretty much working all of it. It's free pass day at the pool tomorrow so I'll be taking Rubes. My mom may or may not be appearing. I need a nap. It's been a tough week and I'm overtired and sensitive to everything. Sunday good breakfast and relaxing and starting packing lists for our vacation. Our Exchange Student Program Director is coming to visit with some big wig government official on Monday so prepping for that (NBD at all, just like to be ready).
I was supposed to go have a girls weekend, but there's just way the hell too much going on. Something had to give and that was it.
We however leave for a glorious 5 day, pretty much all inclusive cabin vacation in lake country later this week and I'm beyond thrilled. My parents are also coming along, so they'll happily babysit while I drink beer on the beach!
D*R: My new rug showed up yesterday. Red chevron and it's awesome quality and feel and looks great. I adore but it's the wrong shade of red for my LR. I traded it with the playroom rug and it's a whole fresh new great look for both rooms. I need to get new LR toss pillows though. I need some more color and pattern in my life.

Saturday morning going to the tile showroom -- Whee!!! Saturday afternoon all the IKEA cabinets are being delivered. Sunday we're taking DS to Marvel Universe Live -- he does a little dance every time he thinks of it.
Painted my kitchen, first coat. Second coat will go up on Tuesday. We're driving to Houston to shop for backsplash.
Speaking of, what do yall consider to be reasonable cost for kitchen backsplash? Most of what I like is about $13-20/sqft, and DH wants it less than $10/sqft.
