We have a crazy busy weekend planned, and we actually turned down some events.
Saturday includes the last tee ball games of the season. So we have a Bubba ball game, then a party and trophies. Then a tee ball game. Then a laser tag birthday party for 2 kids on the tee ball team. Sunday we have a party for the tee ball kids. We had to turn down a tea party birthday party invitation that was for the same time as the tee ball party.
I don’t know when we are grocery shopping or anything else. And the kids will be pooped!
mommyatty, Our weekend is looking the same. DH has a play, so he's MIA all weekend. I'm seeing that tonight and the kids are doing a grandparent sleepover. Then we have a birthday party tomorrow, mom's night out tomorrow night, bridal shower on Sunday, and the final fun run of the season Sunday evening. I'm already exhausted just thinking about it.

Tonight we're going as a family to get groceries.
Tomorrow DD and I are supposed to meet friends for a little while in the late morning. Then DS has a baseball game in the early afternoon, then the kids were invited to a family birthday party that is right after the baseball game. I don't think we have anything Saturday evening.
Sunday morning is church, then I have to leave to go to the airport as I'm going to a conference in Dallas Monday through Wednesday. I rarely travel for work, so I'm kind of looking forward to a few nights in a hotel and not have to prep lunches, do baths, or bedtime.
The planets aligned and I am kid free after 7:15 tonight except a couple hours Saturday afternoon until Sunday afternoon (ExH took a day off for a volleyball tournament that was moved to next week so the girls will go tonight instead of tomorrow night; DH and DS have their camping trip with Adventure Guides). My goal is to be slightly buzzed with an almost but not sunburn by 5PM tomorrow.
I have no idea what I am doing beyond mojitos, swimming, having friends over to enjoy my home with no kids.
I’ll probably do some organizing (ie throwing things away to which other people would object), some Disney research, sorority recs, some reading....
I am absurdly excited about DD’s two formals and have yummy snacks ready for the parents and I to enjoy when everyone comes to take pics. I need to remember to have DD pooper scoop the yard.

For all those with busy weekends, this is my life and grocery delivery makes life possible. I use both grocery store direct and instacart and they are amazing. Not perfect but it gets it done!

Tonight we are doing parents night out at daycare so dh and I can go home and pack for camping this weeekend and Europe next week. Tomorrow we have a bday party and then cub scouts camp out overnight and Sunday morning. Sunday evening I’m getting a pedicure and groceries delivered.

This is the first weekend in a while that won’t be totally dedicated to rental home repairs. We are nearly done. I spent some time there this morning and now am meeting a friend for lunch before grabbing the kids.
We are supposed to do makeup Mother’s Day/birthday combs tomorrow with my family. Hoping the rain will hold off. It’s been raining for like 8 days — we need a couple hours of sun to swim at my parents pool or the kids will be bouncing off the walls. Sunday we are going to the science museum in the AM. Should be a good weekend!
To celebrate DS’s 10th Birthday, DH and I are taking him, DD, and five other 9-10 yo boys to a sleepover at a museum in center city. We are taking them all with all their gear on a train to get there tonight. WTH was I thinking!?!?!
sunbutter - you will see that your plan is the best plan! I’ve done driving and train for museum and zoo sleepovers with groups and BY FAR the train is easier. Bonus: you don’t have to drive as much after not getting sleep. I hope the parents are picking up from the station!
DS just pooper scooped the yard. All I did was ask him. And he did it. It’s so nice to have an agreeable go with the flow third child! He then asked if he can pour vinegar on the ant hills so that’s done too. Amazing.
Busy Saturday...private lesson at 11. 2 different parties that start at 2 and 3. One is kid and I'm taking DD other is adult bday for one of DH's friends. DH is cranky he has to go solo. Then DD has action night at the gym from 5 to 9 so DH and are going to have an adult dinner out.
Sunday will be recoup day for DD and lots of yard work for DH and I.

Kid free camping weekend for a wedding DH is in. This feels slightly more redneck than our wedding that we had in FIL's yard and our yard for a hog roast reception. So, not really a busy weekend but a one that is pretty tied up.
Tomorrow I'm going to run and shop before, then the wedding, then it's beer time.
Sunday is going home, groceries, and prepping for the week that will begin with my interview!
I'm off today - home with my littles because their daycare is closed. We are outside playing with the water table. Heading to school carnival in a bit. Tomorrow - drop off H's car, host DD1's party with her friends, pick up H's car, drop dog off for bath, out to dinner with friends. Sunday - MLS game. It's going to be busy but fun!
I’m getting in tonight from a last minute work trip, and then flying out tomorrow morning for a long planned work trip. DH is being a saint about the added last minute travel.

I had defensive tactics training all day at work today. The last paintball scenario ended with me tackling the biggest role player who is probably 250+ pounds. It felt good to take control of a situation that could have gone wrong. I was supposed to had mandatory OT tonight but got out of it because I worked 16 hours yesterday.
I'm taking tomorrow and Sunday off. Tomorrow is my niece's 5th birthday party at a roller rink, so I'm taking DS. Sunday, DH leaves early in the morning for a work trip. I'm actually excited to have some time without him.
I got butt hurt tonight. DH told me tonight he created a FB page yesterday so he could watch a baseball broadcast. He's been resisting having FB for years. He never sent me a friend request and then didn't accept mine right away. Yet the widow that he got too friendly with last summer was already added, as were many other coworkers.
Low key weekend Yay! Dd had a sleepover Friday and DS has a birthday party Saturday night that I am just a chauffeur. Dh is working nights, so bed to myself!
Sunday, I need to cook one of my friends a meal and deliver since she had surgery.
I am glad of the break, because the holiday weekend is booking fast.
supertrooper1 - what does DH say? Being hurt makes sense to me - what’s his reasoning?? Admittedly, I am over his widow thing.
His reasoning was that my name didn't come up when he was looking at the friend suggestions. But one of his first friends was his nephew, so he would have had to search for him.
Our pool party today got rained out. So do I use the day to rest? Nooooo. I use the time to vacuum and Swiffer our stairs, rearrange the family room furniture, slipcover the family room sofas with Target slipcovers, and take a few steps closer to an organized sewing room.

My DH did this too. I actually had to send him a friend request 3 weeks after he set up. We had 6 mutual friends before he accepted my request. It was a crap time and I am still frustrated with his level of Facebook need. I swear he checks it probably 20 times a day and most nights he sits and surfs Facebook for an hour or more.

It's amazing how much our worlds don't collide. We don't have any mutual friends yet. It's kind of sad thinking about it, how our lives have grown apart.
