The weather is supposed to be beautiful this weekend. It’s amazing out right now. DD2 is supposed to have futsal tonight but she got in trouble so we’re not going. She has her last town rec soccer game tomorrow afternoon, and DD1 has boxing at the same time. Then my parents are coming for dinner. We have absolutely nothing planned on Sunday. DH has to work, then maybe a walk or a hike somewhere?
We have a little birthday celebration tonight for a bubble family. Then tomorrow morning I get to go pick up my new car! The girls want to do a sleep in the living room movie night and watch Over The Moon so that's the extent of our "plans."
I'll probably work on packing up some stuff since next weekend beau and son move in! The spare room is cleaned out and ready, but I have to organize some stuff that's going to go into storage.
YAY! I need a weekend. We have nothing planned. I’m hoping for lots of lazy time.
I need to spend some time figuring out how to use up all my vacation time for the year. I get 4 weeks. I can carry over one week. I’ve used like 3 days so far this year. My employees just called me out for my hypocrisy on telling them to use their leave benefits for the good of themselves and the team as a whole. I’m officially chagrined.

DS and I have some baking to do tonight and/or tomorrow. We'll go visit my parents on Sunday. The weather is supposed to be sunny but cold, so we'll probably bundle up and do some stuff outside.
I'm excited for this weekend. This is my last weekend of solo parenting kind of. Next weekend is DS's bday so my mom and MIL will be around to help.
Then the weekend after that my H comes home from airborne and will be home for the foreseeable future.
Random question. Does anyone have any low fat high protein snack ideas?
I am going through my meal plan and each one is only about 1000 to 1500 calories and I need at least 1200 but closer to 1800 on workout days. Trying not to mess up my macros.
I don't like nuts, and that's what I see a lot of snacks including
ETA I was doing smoothies but now that's it's 40 degrees outside I'm not super interested in that

xctsclrx, have you tried adding peanut butter powder to things, such as low fat yogurt? I like turkey and cheese together, so maybe string cheese for the low fat option?
I let DD play hooky today. She got a response from her teacher asking for help on her story. Mrs. D basically said she needed to start over. Yesterday I helped DD yesterday for an hour. Today I told her to make the changes and she could ask a couple other people to give her feedback but after 2 weeks of writing starting over doesn't make sense. Weekend plans are nothing, thank goodness.
We just met friends for an early outdoor dinner and had a babysitter. We got the two little boys and left toddler with the babysitter and took the baby to be watched by my parents at their condo. Then another mom dropped off my older two after they were at ymca ‘enrichment’ with her son. It takes a village to get out for a 2-hour dinner with friends with the four little kids, but it was worth it. Our friends are moving a few states away for a year to get a lower cost of living till post covid. All their family is here, so luckily I think they’ll come back.
It’s supposed to rain all weekend here in San Diego. My parents offered to take the three older kids for 2.5 hours on Sunday morning so at least that should break things up
So this week my son had given me two panic attacks.
Saturday my son is riding his bike around the block. Out of my sight for less than five minutes. I am outside he never leaves the sidewalk. A lady follows him home in her car and chatises me about letting my 'little man' out on his own. It was annoying and a little creepy, but I shrug it off.
Monday my son goes down the street to his friends bus stop but doesn't tell me. I look out my window at the bus stop he is supposed to be at and he wasn't there and then I watched the bus go by without stopping because my son wasn't there. Neither were the other 4 kids that were supposed to be there but that's a different thing.
So for 15 minutes while I am tracking down the transportation number to confirm my son got on the bus I got to imagine worse case scenario. Thinking that this person might be stalking him and noticed him at the bus stop alone and pounced.
Today we are leaving the park. 4 kids 2 moms I offer to give her and her kids a ride home. While I am gett DD and the bikes in the car my son wonders off. Apparently he thought walking home by himself at dusk was a fantastic idea and again DIDN'T TELL ME. So I can't find him. Start to get worried..don't want to leave the park and at the same time wanting to look for him. Cue second panic attack.
I had adult beverages tonight. And have no idea how to get it in his head the terror I have experienced this week. Also now doubting my parenting and abilities to keep track of two kids.

Heyyyyyyyy! Long time no see! Life has been crazier than usual. Work has been busy (in the best way), DH is maybe leaving his current FD for a different one, I had to pick DD up from preschool everyday for the first 2 months, I coached both kids soccer teams, all plus COVID, has sucked all of my free time. I was having a difficult time balancing the above and fitting workouts in and time to just be. So, I stopped checking in and well, it helped in zero ways lol.
I'm going to try to jump back in and also catch up on what I've missed. I've miss my work friends!
