Week of 10/8

What's up?

[katespade]

I plugged my phone in last night, but for some reason it decided not to charge. My alarm went off this morning just in time for my phone to die. Thank goodness it waited until after my alarm went off, and that I decided to get up when it did rather than hit snooze a few times first. Ugh.

H's birthday is on Friday. He's taking the day off work, but we don't have any actual plans yet. We might just sleep in and enjoy a lazy day together.

Hey! I took a break from the boards while work was crazy busy. It's starting to slow down now.

This past weekend was so busy so I am not prepared for the week at all.

Slow week but then a super busy weekend. Wednesday morning I have a doctors appointment and glucose test. Saturday morning I have a hair appointment, then a 2 year olds birthday party at 3, and a wedding at 5. Sunday I am meeting a coworker who is my mentee this year to help her troubleshoot some things before she goes on maternity leave.

[HoneySpider]

Should be a fairly normal week, R is getting a new speech therapist and she comes tomorrow so I'm anxious to meet her. DH is planning to WFH on Wed which means I can go run a few errands by myself!

This weekend we're going up to my parents' and we're planning to do a few outdoor/fall activities. The weather forecast right now looks good, hopefully it stays that way!

Not much this week. Wednesday 2 stores are doing open interviews so I’m going to go to them. I hope one works out, I need to work. I’ve decided to get my emt here and hopefully I can get everything done in the next few months then find something more towards that.

There is a Rocktober fest Saturday we want to go to but didn’t want to buy our tickets in advance in case H had to work. Hopefully there is still available tickets at the gate if we can go.

katespade- happy birthday to your DH! Hope you guys have a great time celebrating, even if it’s just a lazy day together!

suzv- your weekend sounds crazy busy but fun! Hope this week goes well for you!

HoneySpider- good luck with the new ST- hope it goes well! Yay for running errands solo and for a fun fall weekend!!

wineandcheese- hope your interviews go well and you are working again soon! ((Hugs))

Today- we went grocery shopping, laundry, made dinner. C rode his bike while L and I walked to the park 1 mile away! We met up with an old preschool classmate (who’s mom is awesome and fun to hang out with- win, win!) for 2 hours before walking back (boys in the stroller eating their lunch) and nap time!

Weds/Fri- preschool

Sat- soccer

I need to get back into running but haven’t been motivated since my shin cut. No excuse because it’s fine and healing ok but it’s just been busy and I need to start again and just do it!

DH finished his lab tests this morning so hopefully we get results by the end of the week.

Busy week here. At school all week, homework in the evenings. Squeezing in dinners with friends at some of my favorite places. Driving home Friday.

[estrellita]

H just left for the airport. I want it to be Thursday night already.

A has her allergy appointment today so hopefully we can get some answers on that.

I need to get fillings done and I'm hoping they have openings this week but they never called me yesterday like they were supposed to.

Family pictures on Sun. It's been rainy so hoping the weather will be ok!

[Blue Moon]

Not too much going on this week. Kids have their flu shots on Wednesday. Saturday-Sunday I am solo parenting because H is going out of town to meet up with his college friends. Other than that, just going to try to finish my book and stay afloat at work.

[awick14]

We had a great but busy weekend. We went back to our hometown and had thanksgiving with our family’s.

Dh is back to work today but I have holidays until Thursday. I’m glad because I’m feeling kinda run down today. I dropped dd off at daycare and now I’m hoping to relax this morning before getting all the grocery shopping, cleaning and laundry done in the afternoon.

[krystee]

I was away for work this past weekend and again this coming Sun-Wed. October is my favorite month and I feel like I'm not getting the time to enjoy it! This Saturday I'm going to cram in a bunch of activities, including a truck or treat (touch a truck with candy). J has his first birthday party for a school friend this weekend too.

[melsamoony]

Off work today and DH is out of the house (he usually works from home). Hoping that I can be productive. I usually try to have a small list of things I want to accomplish but I can't even focus long enough to make one. Not a good start.

[luv2rn4fun]

Dropped C off at preschool and then took L with me to get my flu shot. Treated us to starbucks afterwards (and we walked so we got some fresh air and exercise). He wanted to ride his bike around the block to look at Halloween decorations so we did that. Walking down to school in a bit to get C.

estrellita- how are you doing with your DH being gone? How is the weather situation in FL (where he is)?

[estrellita]

luv2rn4fun Things are ok. E was whining about wanting daddy last night, though we did video chat with him which I think helped. I've just been tired so I haven't got much done, lol. Just taking some me time which is also much needed!

Yesterday it was sunny and today there's a little rain but not too bad. Luckily for him, I think it's staying further west and they're just getting a little rain from the outer bands. I'm glad it won't seem to affect him but it sounds like it's going to be a bad storm

[melsamoony]

estrellita does he come home tomorrow?

I put together a bookcase I was initially going to use in DS's bedroom but think I am instead going to use for toy storage. Target furniture very well may be worse than Ikea.

[estrellita]

melsamoony He gets in tomorrow night, probably won't actually get home until after 11pm. Then he has to work in the morning, lol. At least he's normally up late but still!

[estrellita]

H is on the plane heading back! I know the kids are excited to see him I mean, I am too, but E will be really happy tomorrow when H brings him in to DC!

I was somewhat productive today. Got some cleaning done I've been wanting to do. I'm trying not to feel guilty about some me time too. I need it! My mental health has been kinda crappy for like a month or two so I'm hoping this helps a little!

[HoneySpider]

It's been in the 80s all week, woke up this morning and it was 58 degrees. FALL IS FINALLY HERE!

Yay! It has been in the 70s here but supposed to be 80s again for awhile starting today. I decided to do the pumpkin patch yesterday because I have a feeling it was our best chance. Last year we never made it because it was either too hot (didn’t feel like Fall) or someone was sick when it was more Fall like weather.

Enjoy your Fall weather! Sounds like you need to treat yourself to a PSL! 😀

Same! I woke up and it's 61 degrees! We're driving back home today and the highs over the next week will be in the 50s and 60s.

According to my niece's Facebook, today is International Day of the Girl. She posted about being thankful for strong female role models like Michelle Obama (yes) and... Taylor Swift (). Girl. Not even in the same league.

[estrellita]

Everyone wanting cooler weather can come here.. it's been 50s and raining all week! There was even a tiny bit of snow! We skipped right past an actual fall I think, lol.

I think that is an excellent idea

We made it home from vacation last night. It was so nice to sleep in my own bed!

DH is back at work. I'm anxious to hear about his day. I'm wondering if he has heard anything about the job he applied for.
