Weekend High and Low

[twotrue]

To be different than the other board...

What was the highlight of your weekend?
What was the lowlight of your weekend?

Hm. I had a pretty good weekend overall. The chorus I sing with had two concerts that went well. We got the tile in our kitchen sealed so we can grout (we're using travertine with a dark grout, so sealing first helps with the cleanup). We got some fun playtime in, and went out to dinner with my parents, sister, and a few other people yesterday. It was busy but good.

I guess the lowlight would be that I pulled something in my shoulder or did something to it at some point last week, so I've been in moderate to severe pain all weekend. It's not constant but definitely enough that I'm not comfortable for any length of time, and of course I find it very hard to say no to my baby when he wants me to pick him up, so...

Highs:the weather. It was perfect. 75-80 with no humidity. Fun Saturday with friends. The kids being so excited to write in their nature journals and reading the trail signs!

Lows: see the poop in the woods incident from my weekend updates. There is a pair of size 4 Gap underwear left in the woods much to my child's dismay. And the 45m showdown between my child and I because he wouldn't say "please" when asking for something and I refused to give him what he wanted without it - it was funny in retrospect, but at the time I wanted to knock him upside the head. Oh, and the 5:30 Saturday AM wake up kinda sucked.

This is tough...our weekend was very normal and fine - not a lot of highs or lows...

High: Lots of time with my baby Kayla. she's going through a major mommy elise phase (as she has most of her life) and I dont mind it one bit.

Low: Rosebud waking us at 6am on saturday because she had a sleepover in her brother's room and had the freedom to come wake up mommies rather than being trapped in her crib as she usually is. No more sleepovers for a while!

Highlight - spending oodles of time out in our pool - my best friend Angie came to stay with us this weekend.

Lowlight - I had to work off and on as I am in the middle of a big project for one of my clients. So when the yummies were ready from the grill Saturday for instance, I had to go inside and work for a bit and eat later because they just HAPPENED to call and need something RIGHT THEN! UGH!

Highlight : picking up Carol's new car. She got a bright red Kia Soul. Since my car is in the shop - she is driving her moms car and I am driving the new one! i am rollin with the hamsters!

Lowlight: Annie is having some constipation issues. We have to medicate her to get her to poop right now. She cries inconsollably when she is trying. If she has to sit in her carseat more than 15 minutes she cries because her bottom hurts. She is really miserable and there is nothing we can do to make her more comfortable. It is awful to see her pacing because she is in pain and can't sit or stand still and you can't help her.
Hopefully the new medications will get her moving and we can get past this.

Low: Sort of tie between driving to pick up DW at the airport in the pouring rain at 2am with half my dashboard lights unlit and knowing I wouldn't be able to find a parking spot when I got back, and DW having a meltdown over TTC stress.

High: Cuddling on the couch watching Big Bang Theory.

Highlight: Lots of nice weather. Lots of fun hangout time with Trav and Gwen. Getting some great pictures of my girl.

Lowlight: Trav sleeping for ridiculous amounts on Sunday, and Gwen only taking a 40 minute nap, leaving me with very very little time to get anything done without Gwen needing my attention.

The high was watching PBS and Pandora run around the farm picking blueberries.

The low was having to send LMC to my mom's. I was so relieved to have a break but that made me feel even worse!

High: Reading a novel and having strawberries and iced coffee on Saturday while Jen and the beebees slept.

Low: Realizing that I need to do something about my postpartum anxiety/depression/whatever issues. Sucks to be sad when there is so much to be happy about. I went to the gym this morning and found a support group I can go to next week.

High - Seeing how caring DD is. She kisses and hugs the dogs constantly. And when she accidentally stepped on my toe, she bent down and kissed it. So cute!

Low - K has very little patience with the 'terrible twos'.

Wait, can you even get into the other board? I can't...

And I had a fabulous weekend where I got a ton of work done and actually slept some. YES! We still have drama about summer plans, but whatever.

High: Both girls coming in to quietly wake me up Sunday morning--climbing on the bed so "quietlY' and whispering "good morning, J"

Low: going to drop off Carrot at her foster home. Foster mom wasn't there. Spent an extra hour driving, luckily Carrot was fine with it, "it's happened before" and justified my stop at Starbucks.
