What is everyone up to today? Any fun weekend plans?
We are walking to the park and meeting up with church mentor friend this morning! I also need to take C for his first haircut (long overdue)! I vacuumed last night so just need to clean the kitchen (before we leave for the park) and mop the floor (when C naps)...and maybe a load of laundry.
No plans for the weekend. Hoping to get outside for some walks, maybe the park, and take a nice long nap! I am going to call my aunt and see when my little cousins' soccer and tball games are...maybe we can go to at least one of them if it works out.
I'm working from home today. I'm letting Gus play off some energy right now, then I'll crate him so I can actually get some work done. He hates the crate, so I expect to be listening to his howling all day. Haha.
Tomorrow we are going to a egg hunt/play date at a friend's house (there'll be about 20 of us including kids). Sunday my parents are coming over so my dad can help my H install our new over the stove microwave. Then they are watching C while we go tour a new home we are interested in. On our way back, we are picking up takeout for everyone.

Happy Friday! H and I both took the day off and were supposed to have the day to celebrate our anniversary a few weeks ago. Those plans got slightly foiled when we found out we have to take R to see a specialist this afternoon (nothing too major), so it became a morning date. So far we have stopped at the car dealership for something that was supposed to be "real quick" and are still waiting... If we don't end up at lunch with wine, I'm going to be majorly grumpy. Haha.
Tonight I may clean or we'll go to a friend's game night. Hopefully my nausea continues to subside. Otherwise my day will be "sitting at desk and refusing to move" then "lying on couch and refusing to move."
This weekend FIL is in town so we've planned to make fancy breakfasts and such. I'll likely be at work tomorrow then Sunday I'll do whatever FIL & H will have planned.
no plans today beyond finishing the laundry and making a pot roast (which is already in the slow cooker, so all I'll need to do is chop potatoes and carrots, and add those in a little bit).
I'm waiting on DS to fall asleep so I can get ready to go. We're going to meet H for lunch. We might run an errand or two after lunch before coming home for DS's nap.
We might go for a walk this afternoon because it's supposed to be a nice day.
Tonight, I'll cook dinner and hang with DD until DH gets home. Tomorrow, I'll go grocery shopping and make lunches for the week. I don't have any plans other than that. Sunday, I will go to church then hang out with DH and DD.
Another weekend of house stuff. Our listing agent is coming to photograph our house right after Easter, so we are putting the final touches on the renovations H has done. He completely updated all 3 bathrooms and they look great!
H's family (who is very Irish) is heading to a pub on Saturday night to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. H's mom offered to babysit so both he and I could go, but I declined. A quiet night home to myself sounds much more appealing.

No plans tonight. I was going to go shopping for a gift for H on lunch but now I can't because one of the newest people is training with me so I'll probably have to take lunch when our Chipotle gets here, lol. Maybe we will just go tomorrow and I'll let him pick some stuff out. Lame I know but oh well!
Gus has been barking for a full hour. Just screaming at me because he pissed that he's in the play pen. How long does it usually take dogs to get used to crates? Because I need him to stop hating his crate, like, yesterday.
I'm so Excited! I just ordered my tickets for the Broad way production of the lion king! . Just DH and I are going. NO KIDS!!!! I'm so freaking excited. This performance has been on my bucket list since high school.
That sounds awesome! When are you going? My bucket list show is Phantom of the Opera. It's coming to town in December so I told my H that is his Christmas gift to me.
Last night I ran 5k on the treadmill. It's the longest run I have done in a long time. (Probably a year and a half.)
Today I am cleaning the house while the plumber finishes the repairs. And then seeing my nieces hockey game.
Saturday: it will be a day of yard work, maybe see another one of my nieces hockey games, and then go to our towns junior teams game. And maybe try and get another 5k in.

We went to see it in Vegas a couple years ago. It was amazing!!! You will love it!
This will surprise no one since I complain about my bff so much. But I am so over our "one sided" friendship.
TL;DR: My BFF sucks. Drove 3 hours today (to her house and back) to just be ignored the entire time we were there.
So G and I went to see BFF and her son today. It takes 1.5 hours to drive down to see her. So, we have been planning this for at least a month. BFF had moved days on me already, whatever. I texted her last night and gave her a chance to back out if she wanted but she said no she really wanted us to come down. Cool, sounds good.
So we get there and her son isn't even home. He is at the in-laws. And her dad is there from out of town. We stayed for almost 3 hours before we bailed. BFF never went to get her son, she spent the entire time working in her kitchen with her dad, and didn't pay attention to G or me. Basically we drove down there to play with her kids toys.
G hates long drives. She cries and cries after so long so I had planned on coming home at nap time to hopefully let her sleep in the car. BFF was ready to go pick up her son at 12:30 when G naps at 1. So I just told her no, we weren't going with her. The entire trip was a complete waste of our time. G slept 30 mins in the car and that's it. Now we are home and G won't nap anymore. She's going to be a beast the rest of the day from being so tired.
I miss who my BFF used to be. She has pulled this shit over and over. (Last time we had a day planned JUST THE TWO OF US I got down to see her and found out it was me, her, her son, and her MIL. WTF?! She gave me no warning.) I'm so over it. I don't want to drop our friendship but I'm so over her not being a good friend. I deserve better. I plan on backing off from her. And I am NOT going to go see her again until she can actually PROVE to me it is worth my time.
I just want a do over for the day. Staying home would have been much better.

So many ((hugs)) bk1. You are right..your BFF sucks and you do deserve better. I hope she realizes that someday soon. Also wish we lived closer...it would be awesome to have a play date and spend time with you and G!

It was dumbfounding how awful she was this time. I told her (gently) how shitty it was. I am such a push over though. She kept apologizing and I just kept saying "it's okay" and it wasn't. GRR! At least I'm proud of myself for telling her no and that we were leaving.

Yeah, reading your post makes me mad and hurt for you. It's hard spending all day away with a toddler. So much prep and work and then travel. She should know better and make that time worth it for both of you. I think you need to address these things with her, open and honestly. You can still get your point across nicely while being 100% truthful. Also, I wouldn't worry about hurting her feelings...she needs a wake up call...you don't treat people that way.
Ugh bk1 that's so frustrating! Pretty just want to reiterate everything luv2rn4fun said. <3 Personal anecdote on "it's okay": I decided to stop saying "it's okay" last year and found that I learned a lot about my relationships with certain people. The people who seemed to need to hear "it's okay" were the ones who were takers rather than givers in my life. Also, I felt so much better that I wasn't suppressing my feelings just to make things go smoothly.

That's something I should work on. I always would say "I'm sorry" even if I didn't do anything wrong. I noticed a big difference when I worked at only saying it when I really meant it.
