Saturday DW is auditioning for a choir. I may go into the city with her so we can get hot chocolate from the February hot chocolate festival at a place we like, and then go to one of the museums we're members of but don't go often enough.
Sunday I think we'll be lazy at home. And maybe work on Thailand reservations. And maybe clean our home, since it could really use it.
Nope. We find a broken pipe in the basement last night so the sump pump is off until we fix that. The fix itself won't be hard but we do have to cut a hole in a wall to get to it. Fun times.

Recovering from this week and doing some soul searching. I feel pretty lost right now - overwhelmed at work, "stuck" with the TTC things we have to do, irrationally annoyed at our apartment.
Tonight: DW and I are going cat food shopping. Our fat cat has been driving C crazy when she works from home begging for food, so we've decided to change her routine and put her on a weight loss regimen at the same time. I have a feeling this is just going to result in the cat turning her aggression/begging toward me in the evenings, but C won't let me just open feed fat cat and see how fat she gets. The fact that we have had extensive emotional processing of "the cat situation" is just so lesbiany.
Tomorrow: Fasting bloodwork followed by gluten free donuts. Then we're going to fix some of the stuff in our apartment that is driving me crazy. At some point, I also need to talk to the landlord and say we'll be deducting from rent for repairs we make. They've had a list of things that need to be fixed for months and nothing has been fixed, so it's time to be assertive. My conflict avoiding ways are not looking forward to this. Then we're going to roast a chicken, and hopefully go to the movies.
Sunday: no plans as of now. The weather has been crazy and we thought we might go on a walking tour, but it's going to be a high of 20 so not so much. Lazy at home or some indoor activity TBD.
Tonight we have the SW visit then I think DW is going back to work. The kids and I will play and go to bed.
Tomorrow we have dance class for RB and basketball for Sprout. Grocery shopping. We are making cookies as the backdrop to our valentine's day "photo shoot". DW or I will probably work.
Sunday church. probably a swim at the YMCA. then apps for dinner and whoever didn't work the day before will go into work.
Tonight - we'll probably go to dinner before L heads off to go write.
Tomorrow - the kids start up swimming lessons again in the AM. Have I mentioned how much I HATE winter swimming lessons? So much freaking work. We'll probably go to lunch, maybe do a couple of errands, and hang out at home. L wants to do Parents Night Out, so we might do that.
Sunday - kids' homework, errands that didn't get done, put up a wall mounted marble maze that a friend gave the kids and I have avoided doing, and get ready for the week. I think L will come home late afternoon. We need to get out the invite for the graduation party. We'll have a Superbowl party with the kids and then catch up on DVR after they go to bed.
Saturday we will probably trade off baby care while we work on job search/networking. I need to do a grocery shop. Sunday we're spending at my parents' to watch the Super Bowl and my mom and I might work on a gift I'm making for someone. That is a lie, I know I won't be able to tear her away from the babies. Maybe I will try to work on it myself and just pester her with my questions.
Today: I cleaned most of the house and plan to tackle some of the mess in our bedroom, it's awful. I want to do a fun project/craft with the kids this afternoon to break out of our movies-all-the-time rut (thanks for the inspiration CT). I drop A off at her dads house tonight, then home and bed for the kids.
Saturday: J is working so I need to figure out what to do with the kids, I may stalk CT's Pinterest for ideas. I will probably try to plant corn/pumpkins/melons/beans during nap. Hopefully we have a good day and most of it can be spent playing.

Tonight: Pizza and a movie night with E. I hope she chooses something funny, I need a laugh.
Tomorrow/Sunday: No firm plans yet. Hopefully some cleaning/laundry and time with E. Wish I could get her to watch the Superbowl with me (mostly for the commercials) but that's doubtful.
A got word last night/this morning that they want to send her to Portland for a month starting MONDAY. Yeah nice advanced notice. And they said she'll be working 12 hour days 7 days/week. While Portland is much better than where they were going to send her in the south, it's a scramble for her this weekend. She's planning to take her cats with her (despite me offering to keep them for her) so that could be interesting. I'm not sure I'll even get to see her before she leaves.

Her job sounds totally insane. I'm glad you guys are able to make it work, but damn.
Today I'm having Baby S's 9 month pictures taken, making a birthday treat for a co-worker (a bowl of her favorite cream cheese frosting), and cleaning bathrooms.
Sunday I think I'm hanging out with family and doing meal prep for the rest of the week.
