Too dog and 6 yr old for a long walk so H could sleep in (he did all the week day walks this week.) Cleaned, got outfits prepped for a first communion tomorrow (not us) Took DS to run errands and for a hike around a pond park - that was his bribe to do errands.
Took 3 kids to the lake to look for rocks. Called 911 on the way home because this old woman kept going off BOTH sides of the road and driving 20 miles an hour. One side had a lake, so, that's bad.
Ordered Indian food for take out for the first time in our town. Picked it up 4 5min late due to said 911 call, but they were really nice about it..
We are currently having intermission from watching the Swiss Family Robinson videocassete and eating ice cream.
H is working nights and I'm trying to convince a girlfriend to come over for wine after the kids go to bed.
I got up at 6:30 for our yard sale. We did that until about 11:30. Made about $250. Did some reading/studying. Showered. Went grocery shopping. Back to reading/studying.
Are you Going to Pearl Jam in Boston?
No! I set a calendar reminder for tickets and the janky site crashed. By the time I got through the only tickets available were obstructed view. No thanks!
Ate donuts with kids Sent kids with aunt and uncle Showered Sex Home improvement store Tacos and 32oz of margarita Bought steaks Ripped up carpet downstairs Brushed dog Hiding from H while he finishes ripping carpet out
Cleaned out my closet, then went to Home Depot and got bins to store my winter clothes and spring/summer clothes that don't fit this season. Otherwise it has been a lazy day. Now I'm planted on the couch and menu planning before our grocery trip tomorrow.
Spin class, came home and showered, got my hair coloured, bike to the bike store to pick up a basket and a lock, biked to staples to pick up print outs for games for my friends shower tomorrow, cleaned. Now heading out to Noir - the restaurant where you eat in the dark!
No! I set a calendar reminder for tickets and the janky site crashed. By the time I got through the only tickets available were obstructed view. No thanks!
Well now I'm mad. Do I need to come to Cali for fun?
Went to book club for two hours. Did some quick, unplanned volunteer work at the library for about half an hour. Came home and wrapped a present for my mom for mother's day, and popped a birthday card for my BFF in the mail. Fucked around online while eating a late lunch. Started counting all my "to donate" items for tax purposes as I boxed and bagged things up. H's stupid friend finally texted and they won't be here until about 8, so we're going to go out for a quick dinner before they get here. Posted some updates on our library friend's group Facebook page.
I need to go do more work on my donation project, but now I'm sitting down and I'm feeling unmotivated.
I have one week between semesters so I did not do any homework!!!! H finally told me to quit telling him how happy I am to have no deadlines looming....He gets it already! Lol
Worked out this morning, hung two loads of towels on the line, hit the grocery store. Picked both kids up from their fathers, dropped DS2 off at a friends and took the other to be fitted for a tux for prom. Tried to get him to care about a corsage, but he really didn't so I enjoyed ordering it all on my own. Pale pink roses and Alstroemeria lilies. Prob spent too much but I was living vicariously through my son. Made dinner, now I'm trying to talk H into going to get ice cream....a blizzard would be good.

Went to a class at the Y, came home showered went back to the gym for DD's swim lesson. Got free stuff for the kids at the Y's kid's fitness day while they burned some energy bouncing. Got my hair cut. Had some leftovers from dinner at my favorite pizza place in Chicago ( House of blues date night with H last night;)
Got some groceries, baked some cookies and am currently drinking wine while DH makes dinner;)
Went to CostCo and the grocery store. Made stuffed peppers, which I'm about to throw in the oven. We've otherwise been inside all day because it's snowing and gross. DS is watching Sesame Street right now. I love it when he dances to the songs.
Went for a 35 min walk (womp womp...I REALLY need to get back into running again)
Dicked around
Did some organizing/purging
Dropped off stuff at St.Vinny's
Dicked around
Now doing laundry/little cleaning. DH is at his annual Crazylegs run/man weekend so I think I will bring out the wine soon and watch bad TV/Hallmark movie...LOL
First to the grocery store, and cleaned a bit. The little one was sick, so we did a lot of snuggling. DD1 went with me to independent bookstore day. I made chowdah for dinner, which both girls rejected.
I've been painting our half bath all day. It was smurf blue before (very bad choice 8 years ago). After two coats of primer, it's still showing through but after some test patches of the color, I'm in love.
Once Will goes to bed, DH and I are smoking a bowl and going to bed early. lol
On 24 hour call today, so I stay close to home. (Victim advocate) Catching up on GoT. Was called out for a few hours on a DV incident. Now back to GoT, unless I'm called out again.

Up early with DS. Did a metric ton of paperwork while our new cleaning service was here. Laundry, made DS lunch, park time, birthday party for DS's classmate, bath time and made dinner. Now we're watching Hard Hat Harry before DS goes to bed. Shoot me. This dude is worse than Barney.
Picked up a dog being fostered for a trial run with us. Been hanging out with him and my two dogs all day. Quite an adjustment. My dogs are 11 and 10 and this is the first time I've ever brought home a possible 3rd dog.

Got up and went to DD1's soccer game at 9 a.m. We were one of the teams that got to play indoors today, the rest of the games were cancelled for snow (there's only a few indoor fields).
Went to the gym.
Went to my girls' music class recital. Then we all went out to dinner. Now we're home watching a movie.
Took the kids to a birthday party, rollerskated for the first time in 20 years, got a new flip phone (someday I'll join the 21st century), and am now a bit sore because of the roller skating. DH is working tonight, so I need to do lesson planning.
Hot sex Cracker barrel breakfast Came home took a nap Went to nieces first communion party Left kids at brothers Painted some baseboards Witnessed a fight Called the cops Trying to figure out if I want to run to publix for food and wine
Cleaned the living room/kitchen/dining room (all basically one long room, our main floor).
Went to the last half hour of ds's first baseball game of the season.
Then our realtor came over to walk through the house to let us know what more she thought we should do. And we signed all the paper work to get it listed!
Then we went to Home Depot and target for new blinds, some curtains and some paint.
Folded and put away my and dd's laundry.
Now I'm eating pizza, drinking an ipa and watching lilo and stitch w/dd. I'm pooped.
Ran 5 miles, almost went to my nieces soccer game but it was cancelled, went shopping with my mom, read a book, went to a German restauarant for dinner, are birthday cake.
I woke up early and did 4 miles at the beach with a friend.
Coffee, shower, then took my daughter to the fairgrounds to do her run she's been training for with her running club at school. She has a cold and cried through her whole mile, I guess, but she finished when she wanted to quit! It took her 14 minutes when it usually takes her 8, but that's okay!
I've pretty much been collapsed on the couch since we got home because I caught her cold yesterday and don't want to do anything.
