What is everyone up to?

[honeybadger]

Today and this weekend?

It rained here this morning and I am just giddy over it. I am thinking about getting a few of the baby gear items set up and washing a few things so I can organize the dresser and closet for little sister. DH may take IJC fishing, if the rain is gone for good. If it keeps raining (which would be awesome!) we will probably have a game and veg out day indoors.

This weekend is full of family visits...which I am trying to be polite about. But I kind of want to tell everyone to leave us be for the last few days before J leaves. Whatevs.

Laundry and packing today, then we leave for a week in California on Saturday. Oh, and I really need to finish my conference proposal while the kids nap.

[JakJak]

Finishing up packing, and then we are leaving to go see family for a couple of weeks at noon! It's been a while since we've seen them and I'm really excited. Even if it means 8 hours in a car with a toddler

Today I'm working, then H and I are going to a cook out at my parents house. Aside from going to the gym on Friday and Sunday we don't have any plans.

[prettyinpink]

First off I just ate cake for breakfast ( insert blushy face here). I got to sleep in this morning! Working today, if college student who works at the office is in one of her I don't feel good I'm just going to do the bare minimum moods today she might get knocked upside the head. Having dinner with E tonight, which we haven't got to do in a while because of his school schedule.

[bettydraper]

Watching The Hills re-runs while the monsters nap. Half assing cleaning the bathroom. Working out later.

This weekend will either be a beach weekend (depending on weather) or a home improvement weekend. Thinking about either scenariomakes me ridiculously excited and exhausted all at the same time.

My brother is coming into town from CO this afternoon with his family. I'm excited; I haven't seen them in almost 2 years. DH is struggling not to be resentful of my family impinging on the weekend - he hasn't had a weekend off in a month between work and drill - and just basic dislike of my parents, or at least the way my mom (esp) badmouths him. Poor guy can never win with them.

Anyway, brother will be in town for a little over a week and I forsee a lot of family time during that week. Even took off from work next Wed. and Thurs. as those are also DH's days off from work, if I'm spending time with my family - I'm spending time with everyone.

Are you going to tackle the twins' room first or the living room? I'm excited to see how the house turns out after you decorate!

packing for FLW

Having K-baby's family bday cake tonight.

Cleaning up the house.

This weekend? Yelling at Pvts... I mean mentoring young Soldiers.

Working right now. Considering going to see Brave by myself tonight. DH has class and won't be home until late.

I spent an hour in my boss's office this morning and nearly cried. There's so much shit that needs to be straightened out and I have such little time.

We took DS to see Brave last night. I was so glad he picked it over Ice Age and Madagascar. I really liked it!

[audette]

Tonight, if I'm not working late, I'm heading to a local yarn shop's social knit night.

Tomorrow is a long story, but the short version is I'm probably going out to eat supper.

Saturday, DH and I are trying to decide between several options, two of which are going to a parade not too far from here (I think a friend is playing in it), or going to a burlesque show.

Sunday will likely be recovery/laundry/groceries/maybe a visit to a local park if we have time.

I haven't seen an update from you, what is going on? Last I knew you were home helping sort things out with your Dad.

Yay I'm glad it was good. I don't have children but I love kid movies (mostly Pixar and Disney). I'm always the creeper in kids movies by myself laughing louder than most the kids. DH thinks I'm a weirdo.

The person who had my job before left everything a mess. And my plan of attack has had to escalate to contracting officers. I hate confrontation.

My dad was out of the surg neuro trauma ICU for a few days before he had to have emergency surgery to place another stent to relieve fluid pressure. His spinal fluid is building up around his brain. We're looking at another month in the ICU. He had a trache placed two weeks ago since he isn't breathing on his own. He also has a peg since he can't eat and the NG tube can only stay in for so long. He has MRSA in his respiratory system and causes small build up of fluid in his lungs. He has an infection where they went in to remove skull and the dead brain tissue. He's temp stays around 100-102.
It's still really bad.

I'm hoping to do the twins room and the bathrooms first. Easy (I hope). We're waiting to do the living room and kitchen (backsplash/paint) until my mom gets here in August. So mother bleeping overwhelming.

Oh gosh, LL. :/ I'm so sorry. Definitely positive thoughts being sent your way. And hugs.

Btw the title of this thread made me think of Mean Girls. "What is everyone up to? What's the hot gossip?"

Sorry that so many things are weighing you down right now. Don't lose your spirit, you can get through this tough time!

Enjoying my last weekend in the states. It's gone by too quickly. DD got salmonella ( no clue how yet) and that ruined my trip to the in-laws', making it less fun than it should have been for them and her. I'm considering asking my mom to take me to a japanese steak house tonight since my dad ( who doesn't like to go out to eat) is out of town and it's one of my favorites. We haven't had a lot of eating out adventures, while I'm thrilled to be here and enjoying my family and they've been enjoying DD, I want some FOOD!

I've also been making a mad amount of lists since I have 8 weeks until DD2 will be here. Trying to convince myself that's a lot of time and she won't come early.

[ilovelamp]

Haha. Best. Movie. Ever.

I am off again, this time to Michigan to see H's family. It will be nice. I've been really depressed since leaving DH in California. I almost can't wait to get this deployment started, so I can focus on being done with it.

I'm sorry H isn't deploying, it's just a year in Korea but, this is where I am at. I feel awful saying it but I am just ready to get it started so we can get to next summer.

It's Friday morning here and I'm just enjoying my coffee and making some scones. I'm trying to get in touch with my parents so I can have their cable account info so I can stream the Olympics live via the NBC app!! M might have to work a little bit tomorrow but then we are going to check out the Seoul Olympic Park on Sunday.
