Tonight - skeedaddle home to load up my car with stuff we are selling at consignment, go to dinner with the fam, and then drop off the stuff at the consignment sale.
Sat - L was planning on taking the kids to childcare while she did swim aerobics and then taking them to swim lessons, but she's been home sick for the last couple of days so I am not sure that will happen. We'll go to lunch, go to the bookstore, and then we need to pick up our stuff that didn't sell (hopefully there is very little left.) We are supposed to go to a family party at the home of one of L's co-workers that evening.
Sun - Getting ready for the week, doing homework with the kids, etc in the AM. Then go to lunch and take the kids to see a play at their school. Perhaps grocery shopping after and then home.
Carrot is off school today for a teacher planning day. We will head to the children's museum in a bit. Pizza & Charlottes web on cue for tonight
Sat-swim for Pumpkin and Mommy L, gymnastics for Carrot. Cleaning for mama erat. We might go to an indoor play place.
Sun- I didn't realize until too late that st Patrick's parade in our city was last weekend. Maybe a st pats craft, then dinner at my parents. I hope I am over my cold & can hold my new nephew again!

My wife is actually off all weekend! Tonight I don't know what we're doing. Probably just working on some things around the house. We might have family movie night.
Tomorrow we've got a couple of projects, and we'll be taking the boy to my parents' house for a sleepover. My SIL and her GF are coming over, maybe my sis and her step-daughter, and possibly a couple of other friends, for drinks and games. I think they're staying the night so they don't have to worry about driving (or other people driving drunk). We might walk down to a nearby bar for a couple of drinks out but I'm not sure.
Sunday we'll pick up the boy and hopefully have a laid-back day.
K works all weekend, and I think I'm alone with all the kids. (Can you tell I still have anxiety about this?) No plans other than keep everyone alive, fed, and safe. Hopefully we'll be doing sensory activities. Shrug.
Today is J's last day of work and I'm nervous to have her home fulltime.
Today: Maybe a little garden related shopping, a movie with the kids, pizza.
Tomorrow: J and I want to go on a hike, depends if we can find a sitter (ours works early). We have a birthday party in the afternoon and I'm hoping to visit my Dad since we will be in the area.
Sunday: No idea, hopefully not hanging out at the IL's.

Can your mom stop over? Totally normal to "still" have anxiety about solo duty - you are still just getting to know each other!

Hopefully it is clean, clean, clean...and hair cut. I hope we can make it to the old house, and that Little Man and I can clean the garage. We'll see what is reported on Monday.
I want to get a bunch of stuff done tomorrow - maybe some freezer cooking, job stuff, the baby newsletter, the paper mobiles I'm making for the nursery. On Sunday morning my parents are watching the babies while Jen and I run in a St. Patty's 5-miler with friends. Not sure what we're doing afterward - maybe corned beef and cabbage at their house or going out or just hanging out.

I'm in an all day continuing ed class today. E is with her dad this weekend. Tonight I'm meeting a coworker for a drink after my class and then meeting A for dinner before she goes to work.
Sat/Sun: My HOA is having a town hall meeting with the neighboring hood tomorrow afternoon, I may go or not. Derby is tomorrow night but A is working all weekend and none of my other usual derby friends are going, so it's a maybe. The rest of the weekend is very much unplanned, maybe some shopping, chores at home, and food prep for the first half of the week.

I'd like to get the house back in shape (we never put everything back from the bday thing we had for the kids last weekend) and get everyone's clothes for next week picked out in advance (ha! well, it's a goal). I haven't looked up the weather, but if the weather is nice I'd reeeeeally love to get started on building the kid's playhouse, even if it's just deciding where it will go and preparing the site. I also just got a square foot gardening book and am hoping to take a peek in there since I'd love to put a little garden next to the kids' playhouse.
2brides- which consignment sale is this weekend? Can you PM me?
Oh, and maybe FINALLY put the Christmas tree away (it was in our front room till last weekend, and has been in the garage all week).

Tonight - dinner, then out to a friend's party.
Tomorrow - a bunch of stuff around the house. C might go to capoeira, I might go to yoga.
Sunday - avoiding St. Patrick's day in Chicago, which basically means staying in. Maybe we'll go to the African American History museum, because I'm pretty sure that won't have much overlap with stumbling drunk people of dubious Irish heritage. C leaves for a work trip in the evening.

Ha -- Boston is the same! I feel your pain.
We're celebrating my wife's birthday this weekend (it was Thursday, but due to work schedules we couldn't celebrate then). I am cooking her a special breakfast tomorrow, we are going to hang out and relax, then friends coming over for pizza, wings, and poker. Sunday she works, and I will clean/run errands/cook her birthday dinner. Family over for dinner, cake (it's actually pie) and presents.

I'll probably call and ask her. I feel guilty b/c I dropped the baby off there today while we went grocery shopping and to DQ (as a bribe). The bribe worked. I also feel guilty about that. But yeah, I'll probably still call her.

I don't know what you were trying to say here CT, but today went awesome! My mom wasn't able to come over, so I did it all myself and it went swimmingly. Oh, until bedtime. That was/is a nightmare, but I think it's over! My margarita is half gone, so that helps too ;-)
