My H will be carpooling for a trip this week with a coworker, so I have to clean up the downstairs a bit because he's going to stop by. It has been a very long time since anyone came over besides our parents. Today I plan to go to a small farm nearby to pick up some fresh corn on the cob, so good! It's way better than from the store.
I went out early to go to target. I was hoping to have an easy evening but now I need to go to the motor vehicle office to renew H's car registration since he decided to wait until the day before it expires. Grrr! I also have to do housework later.
H has to work mandatory OT tomorrow so I am going to a Bon fire by myself. That's all I have planned this weekend.
@moonbeam Our neighbor brought over fresh corn from his parents farm on Wednesday. We are so lucky!!!
They keep drilling (or something) right above my head while I'm trying to work. It will be quiet for 30 minutes than BAM! DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL. Scares me out of my skin. I'm surprised I'm not cursing.

amaranth- it's amazing how great silence is! DH still hasn't learned this new concept...clearly he's not home with C all day! I'm to the point where I don't even like the tv on once he's in bed, or really ever! Anyways, enjoy your hair appointment...and, you always look pretty!
We are going to run some errands today. I need to get my thyroid blood test done and return clothes (and maybe buy new ones) at Old Navy. Seeing if DH needs me to go to Target too...he's donating school supplies for kids in need and didn't pick up proper color pencils so he needs some to complete his list of items.
I woke up really early as I couldn't sleep after DH got up. I work noon-midnight tonight, and I can't even stay awake now. (I still have just under 2 hrs until I start work.)
I've been up since 430 since I had to take my sister in for out patient surgery this morning. I just finished some school work and now I'm going to sit in the shade and listen to my book! We've got dinner plans tonight at a new to me restaurant along the river with my best friend and her boyfriend.
I've been up since H got up at 5:00 this morning. I'm also still very annoyed right now with my boss and the fact that she is now refusing to switch me over after basically making it sound like it was a done deal last month. I'm not looking forward to the school year starting at ALL now, but I have to fucking suck it up for the year, then I have to stay in district for another year or I don't get my tuition reimbursement. I'm trying to get contact info for the AP from last year so that I can ask him now for a letter of rec for when I apply to switch buildings in the spring.
We also just discovered the oven in the new house is broken. It took an HOUR to preheat for lunch.
No plans this weekend. Maybe go through all my clothes that I unpacked to purge. We also have only one truckload of stuff in storage and it's basically the patio chairs.

I'm waiting to hear back about plans this weekend. Hopefully I'll get to see my friend since they all changed plans on me we were supposed to do a game night tonight but that night not be happening now. My friend said she might have people over tomorrow but we're going to the Twins game and she lives the complete opposite direction than my parents. Plus we weren't bringing E to the game and my friend wants to see him. I kinda regret wanting to go to the game now, lol. Oh well I guess. Something will work out!
Getting caught up on stuff around the house today.
Tomorrow G and I are going to a friend's 1st birthday party for her son. DH doesn't know what to do with a whole day to himself (party is out of town).
Sunday gonna catch up on house work and sleep hopefully.
I need to start baking brownies for tomorrow but really don't want to. I am planning on making cheesecake brownies, caramel brownies and candied bacon brownies. Our apartment is hot so I really don't want to turned on the oven. Guess I am staying up late tonight so I can wait until the sun goes down to turn on the oven.
IL's are watching DS tomorrow so we can get stuff done around the house. We've had something to do every weekend since the beginning of June and the house looks like it. I have this big list of stuff to do and I know there is no way we're going to get it all done.

Pretty low key weekend planned. Watching The Theory of Everything with H tomorrow and taking C to visit my parents on Sunday. Otherwise just hanging out and doing stuff around the house.
We got a call from our alarm company that our alarm went off. Neither DH or I were home. We have PTSD (slight exaggeration) from a previous home invasion when we lived in a bad part of time....so needless to say, we couldn't breath while waiting to hear back from the Sherriff's office.
Apparently, all of our doors and windows were fine. They did determine a glass break set it off. The theory is that one of our cats knocked something off that broke. DH just put in our kitchen backsplash so everything we have was shoved over to one side. I have a feeling a centerpiece bowl broke and set it off.
Good thing this time (over 4 years later) is that we have AWESOME neighbors. They happened to be home and spoke with the sheriff's office to let them know they hadn't seen anything suspicious.
DH did a DARN good job installing all of those glass break sensors with the alarm system. At least we know that! Of course, I'm supposed to stay in Music Town with him tonight and drive back tomorrow. Part of me is worried that something more significant broke. But I know the alarm company said the Sherriff checked all doors and windows.....I'm just going to try and relax. DH wants me here.
@emtmissy I want all the brownies. They all sound delicious!
MrsMB Oh my goodness, how frightening. I'm glad the system works so well and that your neighbors didn't see anything sketchy. Sending calming thoughts your way <3
I started my day at 3:45 today. Yikes. The good news is I got off work early, so that was a nice surprise. DH and I have just been hanging out for the afternoon/evening. I must go to bed early tonight since I start again tomorrow at the same time! We are almost out of food, but we are still trying to not buy anything since we are leaving in a few days. I'll need to pick up eggs and milk so I can do a little baking for our trip so we don't have to buy food on the road! It's going to be a busy weekend packing and getting ready for our trip. We both work all weekend as well, it will be nice to get away!

This has been a long week, even though a lot of good things happened (successful surgery for mom, job interviews for me) it's also been really stressful and emotional for a few reasons. I'm missing DH a lot right now, I could just use a hug from him.
estrellita I don't know if I missed it, but did you hear back from the sellers about the negotiations with the inspection results?
We sent everything in yesterday officially so we haven't heard back yet. FX the seller agrees! We're asking for some electrical stuff, a new or fixed microwave (the one there randomly doesn't work) and a few other things that are possible safety hazards.
MrsMB It sounds like the cats were just getting rowdy in the kitchen. I'm glad you have good neighbors now who look out for you.
So I made it home after DH's event and there was NOTHING broken. We can't figure it out. DH is calling the alarm company to see what it could be. It's too early to replace any of the batteries. The neighbor's dog comes up and rough houses with our boy dog. We think they may have banged up against the door loudly. But that still wouldn't have caused a sound of broken glass though.....who knows.
