We are staying in tonight and I am so so glad. Hopefully we can play a game or two and watch a movie.
Tomorrow I do not think I have a bike ride. My coach has me doing some short thing with a heart rate monitor indoors - so I'm hoping I can sleep in. Saturday we have a kid birthday party for my daughter's best little friend. She's sooo excited.I have a sprint triathlon race on Sunday. My first sprint race since....last April? I hope I remember how to do it.

DH is taking the kids for a camping weekend, leaving after lunch today. I have about 48 hours all by myself! I'm planning to clean bathrooms (so I can enjoy at least one full day with a clean house) and then I need to paint the railing on our front porch. Hoping to also get a few hours to binge watch Outlander, do some reading, and get some yummy food from somewhere that only I like.

Tonight is date night (#6 I think? I've lost track). We're just going out for a causal dinner tonight and then spending tomorrow together.
FFFC: I feel like a bad mom. I look forward to dropping DS off at his dad's so I can have my date nights. DS has been more difficult lately and I know it's because he's still processing the divorce.
STBXH's 99 year old grandfather passed away last night. It was his time, but it's still sad. I had known him for almost 20 years.
supertrooper1, Don't feel bad! I feel the same way lately. I think it's because I'm finally getting some breathing room and have something to look forward to on my nights off, instead of feeling depressed. You're still a good mom.
Tonight I've got my picnic date. He's making food and taking me to his family's lake house. I'm really looking forward to it. It's been almost two weeks since we last got together because of custody schedules between the two of us.
Then tomorrow is my birthday sleepover at my place. A half dozen of us are bringing snacks and wine and just camping out in my living room all night to celebrate my birthday and catch up. We had a really strong plan to go out in Boston and then at the last minute all decided we'd rather stay in and be ridiculous in the comfort of my home instead.
We start our camping trip tomorrow. So far DH has gotten all the camping gear out to pack (yay), but then strew it all over the basement. He set up the tents in the backyard which was unnecessary, but at least it hasn't rained yet....
He went shopping for camping supplies last night but as far as I can tell he went to far flung stores with no results, so I am not even sure what that was all about, but he was cranky when he got home. I'm not sure why he does that to himself. I feel like he will be doing most of the set up and take down though, with our help, so I'll give him some passes. But it kind of looks like we are in the nothing is actually getting accomplished stage. The kids packed, but i have not yet.
We might do a date night tonight which will cut into our packing, but we might decide it will be good to get away just the 2 of us before the family intensive week. I left it up to DH to decide.
Tonight we have a date night. Just neighborhood sushi and hanging at my parents' empty condo nearby till after the kids are in bed The condo is only 2 miles away from my house, but I've been trying to make it there for like 2 months to pick up some things and check on it, and haven't fit it in yet.
Otherwise it's a quiet weekend. Probably lots of pool and beach. It's been unusually humid here the past few days.
Sunday afternoon I'm starting tennis lessons at a local resort with 2 friends and 3 other women. I'm excited. I need to buy a tennis racket because I haven't played in a loooong time and don't know what happened to my old one.

We leave for vacation at midnight. I’m beyond ready. My mom flew in last night and the boys are thrilled to be with grandma. I’ve been up until 1am working all week and am exhausted.
I have had a glorious morning. I had to take Dd to practice at 6, not glorious, but I made the most of it. I went for a run, then just walked around the neighborhood enjoying the morning. Got free chicken biscuits with a gift card at Chic Fil A, and a coffee at dunkin donuts and started the book Educated while I waited for Dd. Mowed some grass when I got home.
Date night tonight. We are going to dinner Downton and then to the weekly concert they have downtown. It is supposed to be one of the best bands.
Dh says he is barbecuing chickens tomorrow. This is usually a production involving 5 hours, many pans, an outdoor pit, many beers.
Sunday we drop Ds off for his trip to DC. Them I plan on grilling enough food for most of the week since we have volleyball every night and Dd picked up a babysitting gig.
I'm supposed to have happy hour with a friend tonight. It's already been rescheduled 3 times and she's gone dark on me... and I've spent the last 30 minutes looking up restaurants & bars and salivating over menus, so she better not flake!

Dating while parenting update: camp called just as I got home, DD1 is hurt, I need to pick her up because she's freaking out. So I go get them and they are at my house waiting for exh to get here.
She scraped her hand people. It's a nasty scrape, but not worthy of the early pick up and shrieking that has ensued with the wound care. And ExH is now stuck in traffic. So I'm late for my date.
We have 2 birthday parties today. The first is a skating party. My kids have never been roller skating, so this could be awesome or an epic fail. Tomorrow we have nothing. DH would like to invite friends over to swim. Thursday night we went to a comedy club with friends while MIL kept the kids for a sleepover. DH is normally a hermit, so I’m scratching my head at all the sudden group activities. But it’s a happy head-scratch!
