SUPER excited for the weekend. I feel like this week has just....dragged...on...and...on. My parents are picking my kids up at 9am tomorrow morning and we'll meet them at church on Sunday morning. We are going to be kid-free for a full 24 hours and we cannot figure out what to do. We don't want to waste that time. So much pressure to make use of that time well!
I took a mental health day today. Which I'll probably regret come December when I want a day off but it's going to be gorgeous today. I plan on a super long nap and taking my dogs out to enjoy the sun.
Every hour of my weekend, starting at 8 am today, is booked. I think I might have some down time Sunday night. I'm spending a bit longer in bed, enjoying the last of my solitude.
It's Friday!! My parents are coming for the weekend and I'm really excited. I cleaned the house last night and I was so happy to go into the weekend with an already clean and cozy house.
It's going to be way too warm for my taste tomorrow though. It should not be 84 degrees a month after it becomes unacceptable to wear white pants.

On my way in to the city for an awkward meeting that I got myself in to. Then a day jam packed with meetings and paperwork. But - the weekend is going to be gorgeous. We have some house stuff to do, but I'm psyched to just hang out with DS at the park.

I know I shouldn't complain , but we're going apple picking this Sunday and it's supposed to be 82. When apple picking I want to feel a bit chilly, rather than wear shorts!
TGIF. I am working out of the office today, but left something at work I'll need for the weekend. It SHOULD be a short day, but I'll have to go out of my way to go by work at the end of the day which will likely mean I can't catch the early train. Can't wait for the weekend to arrive!
Yesterday I had some motivation for somewhere and pulled out the fridge and stove to clean under/behind them. Maybe I'll tackle the top of the cabinets today, get crazy, who knows?
It's Friday, and I'm working from home, thank God. I needed a day without people.
Once DH gets home tomorrow, we have THREE WEEKS with both of us home, except for a day trip I have for work. I'm so glad, it's been nearly six weeks of one or the other of us OOT, and I miss him.

There is a vague terror threat regarding the subways from ISIS. Guess it's good I live in the Bronx, even though D and I are meeting up with a friend in Manhattan today (although no where near any place that a terrorist would want to bomb).
I also hate the Yankees, but I teared up at all the farewells to Derek Jeter on the news last night (and on the Today Show this morning).
Ollie goes to daycare today and I'm looking forward to napping when the baby naps! At one point this morning (around 5am) I was nursing Vivi in bed, Ollie was asleep spread eagled next to me, H was passed out next to him, and our cat James was on the other side. We need a bigger bed.
I contacted our realtor about putting the house on the market. This might get real!!

H landed his dream job this week. He'd been contract for about 3 months and they finally offered him the position. I'm so happy for him and our future financial situation. It's such a relief!
I'm having a Double Dare party this weekend and I have a lot to do! But, look at my slime!Attachment Deleted
OH! And one more random- yesterday my kid saw our neighbor coming home from work and wanted to show him his costume, so he ran to the door and started chatting. I came up and opened it, stood for a few minutes and talked, wondered why neighbor wouldn't look directly at me without smirking, and came back in. Where I immediately realized that my nursing tank wasn't latched and I'm not wearing a bra, so basically my whole left boob was flopping in the breeze. Awesome!
We hadn't been able to Skype in probably 2 months, so I was SO HAPPY to see his face. Then, a few days ago we got to talk on the phone for TWO hours, which basically never happens.

Last night DH and I went to visit our friend in the hospital. He's in a lot of pain, mental and physical, but he will be ok. He goes back into surgery in a few hours. While we were there, he saw the news story about his accident and lost it. When we went, other friends for that group were there too, I'm sure having us all there, making him laugh, talking about old times, lifted his spirits at least a little bit. It was hard seeing him like that, but irresponsible decisions is what put him there, and he knows it. Don't drink and drive folks, it's just not worth it.
I have a fun weekend planned! Dh is leaving to deer hunt this weekend, but I've got a playdate today and then am going by my sisters school to give her class treats for her birthday. It's always fun to go visit her bc she parades me and the kids around to all of her coworkers like prize ponies. Lol.
Saturday I'm dropping the kids off with the in laws for the night so I can go out with my sister, and actually drink!
My bday is this weekend and my gift came in the mail yesterday. It is this rug from Ikea that I have been obsessed with. I am in love! Oh and there is my goofy child in half of his halloween costume.
Yay Friday!! We've got a busy weekend but will also have some downtime to relax, which I desperately need.
I've lost 6 pounds since starting with MFP and c25k. Last night was week 3, day 2 and I haven't died yet. I'm going to zumba next week and hoping to take my first kickboxing class.

DS woke me up at 4:30 wanting to get up for the day, I tried to ignore, but the repeated yelling of "mooooommmm-aaaay" just kept getting louder.
I see all these posts w people and their cats and I wish ours wasn't such a dick. He doesn't really want much to do with us and ignores us all the time. Little asshole was the sweetest and most loving cat ever when we picked him out at the shelter. He totally scammed us.
DS has his first swim lesson on his own this weekend (without a parent in the pool) and I'm excited/nervous. I'm sure he'll be fine, and it will be nice to not have to get in the pool too.
It's going to be way too warm for my taste tomorrow though.
I agree. We are going to an Oktoberfest thing tomorrow and I am irritated I can't wear my fall clothes.
This weekend is my favorite weekend of the year. My bday AND Oktoberfest. We are going to a local place on Sunday that makes their own hard cider and has bluegrass bands in a barn. I am super excited.
I was suppose to go with a friend to the antiques stores tomorrow but she bailed. Bummer. My H said he would go but it's not the same and I always feel like I have to rush.
I can't wait to sleep late on Saturday. I look forward to that all week.
