Whoot Whoot! It's Friday!

[mommyatty]

Today is a slow day at work. Which is nice, I guess, except that I hate slow days. They are rare and I spend the whole day feeling itchy and weird about what to do with myself. 

This weekend, for the first time in forever, is empty. Kids are getting haircuts tomorrow, and we are spending the weekend swimming, hanging out, and playing. Yay!

In funny news, this morning DD wanted to know why our door was locked and I was naked when I opened it this morning. Um... I took off my nightgown so I could get dressed and Daddy was pooping and needed privacy. I'm going to hell for lying, aren't I?

We are renting a house in Door County, WI for a week with my parents, sister and BIL. We're leaving first thing in the morning. DH got home from a work trip last night. I was hoping he would WFH today, but he went into the office and had a late meeting today, too. So I will do 95% of the packing. I'm in decent shape, but there's an annoying amount of stuff to be packed last minute.

I'm hoping my family doesn't drive each other nuts. My parents are already getting on my nerves. I'm very much a planner, but my parents take it to the next level of obsessing about things.

mommyatty, you are NOT going to hell. Fast thinking! I am jealous of your morning sex. It has been way too long of a dry spell in my house. Lots of people eating crackers, not enough frisky business.

No plans here either. My back is killing me from the impromptu dog bath on Wed night. I am really depressed my new mystery subscription box went to the old house and I won't be able to work on it any this weekend. I was SOOO looking forward to it. It's Jack the Ripper! So I have to hope either that the mail forwarding kicks in or that the new owners send it back return to sender and it eventually makes its way to me. Could take forever though. Not sure what I'll be up for with an achy back.

Tomorrow the girls have horse riding, which is awesome, since they missed July's lesson due to vacation. And then we're just hanging out! No plans, no real projects since DH did all the laundry and cleaned yesterday. No real plans for most of the day on Sunday either! I have visions of sitting in the screen house doing some hand sewing while the girls play outside.

Sunday evening DH and I are going on a date! We're going to go watch a play, which will be fun. But, it's a long drive to and from, so that's kind of a bummer and making me feel ambivalent about the plans.

I have drill this weekend and my baby just drove off with my mom to stay with her for 3 weeks. I am sad. I should be excited, but I am not. Next week is work and then DH and leave for Jamaica for a week.

[erinshelley21]

Not too many plans this weekend. DS is sick today, so we'll be laying low. I'm not entirely sure with what, but he had a 101.8 temp this morning, cancelling his trip to the state fair with MIL. I need to order groceries tonight unless I want to eat take out or pancakes all weekend, which really doesn't sound terrible.

Tomorrow is our 6th wedding anniversary. DH works so I'll spend the day parenting our children by myself lol. We celebrated Wednesday so its fine. I'll drink wine and eat Halo Top ice cream by myself after the kids go to bed.

[erinshelley21]

akafred, more sex = less cracker eating.

MIL had surgery this morning it appears to have gone well since she got out on the low end of time.

DH has a colonoscopy and scope here in a little bit to try and figure out what is causing his intestinal problems.

[judyblume14]

Working form home today, since we have short summer Fridays. Then I get to meet my friend's new baby!

Tomorrow is busy with swim class, a baby shower, and a what I thought was to be a dinner cruise tomorrow night. The sunset cruise is from 6:30-9. It's $50 per person. There is no dinner. You get one soft drink, and a snack(I'm thinking like airplane peanuts). It's 90 minutes away and we have to get there early. Meaning, I'll rush home from the baby shower, and we'll leave at like 4:30, and won't get home till 11. I'll have to pump on the way there, and on the way back. And I guess take car dinners?

No plans for Sunday. I'll probably take the girls to the gym with my while my H mows the lawn. Then we'll do a family walk and spend the rest of the day by the pool!

Our anniversary is on Sunday. The kids are going to my sister-in-laws tomorrow morning so I will be kid-free for 24 hours!! It is actually supposed to be nice this weekend so I’m thinking about going downtown tomorrow, renting bikes, and stopping at a distillery and several bars I have been wanting to try. I haven’t ridden a bike in 10 years though so I’m little nervous about navigating one downtown especially after drinking. Sunday I want to go to  brunch and the farmer’s market.

erinshelley21 , Happy Anniversary! Did you see that Halo Top is releasing more flavors-candy bar, banana chocolate, rainbow swirl, caramel coffee, cinnamon roll, pancakes and waffles and a green tea one.

[erinshelley21]

kimberlybb, I must try them all. So far I've only had oatmeal cookie and red velvet and love them both. Someone had to have sold their soul to the devil to make Halo Top happen.

I'm skipping the end of camp skits today because I have meetings. I pick DD up from camp and take her to PT for her quad tears. Then she goes straight to a birthday party. After the party she goes to a second party. At the same time the first party ends I have to pick up the oldest. Somewhere in there I have to work three more hours and pick up DS, which is now a 30 minute round trip.

The second party and DD's camp are a block apart but there's a 30 minute time gap. After getting the middle all dropped the oldest and I are going to paint for a few more hours. My head is spinning.

Then this weekend the oldest has an eye appt and Biofeedback. I have to help pack both girls for their vacation with their Dad. Which means I have to get them to do their laundry. But they aren't ever HERE to do it. And I am working.

Bigtime crackers - last night DH complained that DD is spending too much time on her service project and wants to know why I am helping - and said it's stupid. He was mad because I took her for a haircut, we grabbed dinner then painted until 10 PM by using the car headlights. He slept on the couch. I really can't handle this selfish/childish thing he has going on. He's here this week SO I can do this with her!

[kimberlybb]

erinshelley21 , I know!! The chocolate almond and caramel kinds are amazing. I'm lactose intolerant and still eat it even knowing I will have a stomach ache after because it is that good  

[judyblume14]

So, I've been wanting to try Halo Top. And I got a coupon from the grocery store. And the past 3 trips, I couldn't find it. Not in the ice cream section (because why would ice cream bee in the ice cream section) and not in the gourmet section (beucase why would expensive ice cream be in the gourmet section?).

Nope. The cashier told me it's with the boca burgers. Of course.

We were invited to swim at the lake at a friends cabin tomorrow. After all the activities lately, we may opt to stay home and work on the house and yard and then go out to eat with my niece and nephews since they go home Sunday. Sunday nothing planned which is nice. I am actually ready for a rainy Sunday to enjoy my clean house curled up with a book. There is probably a 99% chance of that not happening.

[2chatter]

I am super excited about new Halo Top flavors!! Oatmeal raisin is my favorite but mmmm Candy Bar sounds good!

[mommyatty]

I have never heard of this Halo Top ice cream. Must look into it now. To the Google!

mommyatty - I buy it at Kroger - worth every overpriced penny.

Every single penny. 

Funny story about the red velvet. I thought it was so good that DH needed to try it since one of his favorite cakes is red velvet. He tasted it and said, "I like it but it takes kind of chocolately" He had no idea that red velvet cake was basically a type of chocolate cake with red food coloring until that moment.

DH absolutely refuses to believe this fact. Red is apparently its own flavor.

Its like he's a 5 year old picking out a popsicle.

Don't I know it! I am not the source of the dry spell.

[traveltheworld]

I'm taking the kids camping by myself with some friends. It's suppose to rain tomorrow. Also cold. I'm kind of dreading it, but DS is so excited that I don't think we should bail. At least our friends have a tent trailer so we can all huddle in there.

[frozenpeas]

Yay for Friday! My life insurance medical exam is over so I'm going to let myself eat shrimp (I read somewhere that it messes with cholesterol tests so I've been abstaining), drink wine, and have dessert tonight. But holy cow, I weighed in way higher than I expected and higher than at my last dr appt. Can I blame it on all the water I drank (what can I say, I wanted to be prepared with obvious veins & a full bladder)?

[supertrooper1]

Yesterday and today are my weekend days. Yesterday, we dropped off DS at DC and went to a casino, had lunch at a really good Italian restaurant and came home for some afternoon delight. We picked up DS and went out for ice cream. But DH had to ruin the day by flipping out and yelling, just because it bothered him that I turned on the kitchen lights. That turned into him resenting my job hours and hating my parents. Even though he apologized, I'm still not over it. So I don't know what today's plans are other than going to the grocery store.

The wildfires in British Columbia are really putting a damper on our summer. Our skies have been filled with smoke for 3 days and it doesn't seem like it will let up any time soon. I'm very congested and have a sore throat from the poor air quality and I don't even have prior respiratory issues. I feel bad for those that do.

Speaking of sex, confession, my hip locked up mid-sex (which rapidly became the end of sex) last night. Am I getting old? I'm quite flexible and in (I thought) pretty good shape but that damn right hip causes me more trouble and it's my favorite position. Argh.

I got up at 5 to take a barre class before work. I feel like this should make me look like a ballerina immediately. It did not.

My oldest is at my parents because camp is closed this week. Tomorrow we go over there to get her and have a pool party. Sunday H works and the girls and I hang around. Just a little over a week until my baby starts kindy! I can't believe it. Sniff.

Fffc I uploaded all of our Israel pictures into Shutterfly last night to be able to work on the album at work today.

[judyblume14]

After both of my maternity leaves, sandandsea, I spent most of my first day back choosing the picture I wanted to have as my screen-saver.

I dropped off my car at the dealer on Wednesday evening so they had all day yesterday to look at it and try to fix it. They finally called me at 6pm to say that they were really behind and didn't even look at it. So since I didn't have a car today, I worked from home. I'm going to be very upset if they call me today and they still haven't looked at it. It's not looking good since it is 2pm and I haven't heard anything. I need my car back by tomorrow afternoon or there will be hell to pay.

I'm getting a massage this evening.
Dentist appts for me and DH tomorrow morning, then we are having a family birthday party in the afternoon for DS1 and my nephew at my house. Sunday is another birthday party for my step-niece at the local pool.

And in the middle of all of this, we are potty training DS1. He is finally willing to wear underwear since they have Paw Patrol on them. This kid needs to be potty trained before the end of the month or he won't be able to go to preschool. He knows when he needs to go, because he'll go on the potty when he is naked. But as soon as you put a diaper or underwear on him, he gets lazy and he doesn't care about being wet. I hope something clicks soon...
