Today is groceries, and I'm thinking I'll take out some of the turkey still leftover from Christmas ( ) and make a big turkey dinner with all the trimmings. It know it won't be quite the same as the original turkey dinner, but it'll still be good.
Tomorrow we need to go look at some houses that have the brick and stone we chose for our new house to make sure we like them before we sign off. Then to the flooring store to pick up our samples. Then to the kitchen/bath store to go over and cabinetry and countertop stuff. Then Costco.
Hopefully! DD was struck by the stomach bug last night so our plans a little up in the air now. Today we will stay home and rest but she usually bounces back pretty quickly from these.
Tomorrow she has her first soccer game and she's beyond excited. She loves the sport so far. Then right after that we have a birthday party for one of her friends.
I actually have something fun planned. Today I'm going for a massage. Tonight a bunch of friends are going for supper, then going to a Lock down room. I'm so excited. It's also an extra long weekend for us, the kids are off till Wednesday.
Today is DH's birthday. It's the big 4-0 so we are going to his favorite burger joint for lunch then IKEA and then tonight we're having a small party for him.

Dh is leaving for his ski trip tomorrow morning so I'm trying to prepare myself for the next few days. Saturday my aunt is visiting and I think my dad wants to visit too. I have a friend coming in the evening so I don't have to drink alone. We will have a good time and I'll get some apps to snack on. Sunday we have church and I think dinner at my moms. I may take the kids to the zoo if we are having a good weekend.
Nothing too exciting planned here. We are at home today for a snow day which is nice. I have felt horrible all week so a day off was nice. DS has a basketball game tomorrow morning and a birthday party tomorrow afternoon. Sunday we will go to church and lunch. Then DS wants me to go see the Star Wars movie with him. He has seen it already but really wants me to see it with him. DD will hang out with my parents for a little while.
DS has been off school past two days and Monday is a holiday too so we've been having lots of play dates and lunches out. Today we have a play date at a local park and then a swim lesson. Saturday - out for breakfast and DS1 has a birthday party for a preschool friend. Sunday- we might head into city for the day so ds1 can ride the subway (the highlight of his life!) and maybe cross the bridge for a walk in the Marin headlands or Muir Woods. If so we will have dinner at one of my favorite fish restaurants in Sausalito.
DD1 has off on Monday. We are going to our cottage "Up North" in WINTER for the first time in several years. The kids have basically never been up there in the winter, since last time we took a kid in winter it was when DD1 was 1 year old! It's supposed to be horribly cold but I'm excited about playing games, watching movies, making Valentines, and going out to eat. There's a nice children's museum that we might do and there's a very small waterpark that we're going to try for half a day or so.
I'm really bummed/angry right now, though, b/c we were supposed to be taking DD out of school an extra day (first grade) so that we could come back on Tuesday. It's a four hour drive and a ton of packing (]'m packing everything from snowsuits to swimsuits, towels, snacks, some bedding, etc), so I feel like you need 3 nights to make it worth it. We'll get up there before lunch tomorrow, and then we were going to stay Sat, Sun and Mon nights, pack up Tuesday morning and leave early afternoon on Tuesday. Now DH is saying we might have to come back on Monday "but we could still do a full day and come back that night," b/c of work stuff. I'm really upset about this. He owns a business and he's the only income since I left my job, so I get that his job is important, but I feel like he should be able to plan to make things like this work. This is the only time of year he supposedly has flexibility, so I kind of feel like I'm entitled to it, since we work around his schedule the rest of the year. He works tons of evenings and a lot on weekends, too. It's just shitty if we have to drive back Monday, b/c I know it will put a big damper on the day. We were doing to do the waterpark, naps, and then go out to dinner. Instead we'd probably have to spend the whole post-waterpark time packing up, and then hit the road. The only full day would be Sunday. Also, I don't really want to drive back back in the dark on a frigid winter night in case of any issues.
Anyway, if we do drive back on Monday, likely it won't be as bad as I think. But right now, I'm angry about it.

Jealous! Muir Woods is so pretty. We are near a state park, but no way we are hiking in subzero wind chills this weekend;)

Its been cold and rainy (not complaining as we desperately need the rain!) but this week has been sunny and gorgeous in the 70s so we are relishing it. Rain returns next week.
nicolewi sorry about your DH changing the plans! My DH always does this too. When my MIL flys out she comes on a Thursday and leaves on a Monday and I say that's fine if DH takes Friday off. He always agrees but then come that week he always has something scheduled for Friday.

Today I got a haircut and I'm trying to get the house cleaned before DH gets home tonight. Tomorrow we are going to a friend's house for dinner. And I'm not sure what we'll do Sunday.

Not really. DH will be working OT on Sat...but then he does have Sunday&Monday off! Yay! So there's that. We may try and go do something fun but no plans yet.

nicolewi - that really sucks, I'd be upset too. My DH worked a lot of stat holidays last year, promising he'd take another day off instead, but never took another day off. It blows.
gastro - my palms are getting sweaty at the mere thought of my MIL descending on me and my DH being at work for the day! I'd probably pretend I wasn't home.
Just hung out and watched tv with DH last night. This morning DS has a grandparent's program at school so my parents are visiting for the day. Tonight we have dinner at the in-laws. Tomorrow DS1 sings in church but we're in a winter weather watch again for blowing snow and 40 mph winds
