Friday Confessions, plans, etc.....

[rere]

Not really a confession, but I found an interoffice mail envelope with Heath Bars in it in the my mailbox at work.  Since DH got into my Halloween Heath bar stash at home, I am leaving them here so he can't get to them.

I really just want a day in PJs watching TV.  However, I will probably set up for our Fall festival tonight.  Tomorrow, I have DD's fall festival and a wedding for a coworker.  To get it all in, I am going to mass before the festival, skip the wedding mass, working my shift ridiculously over dressed for a chili supper, stay as long as possible, hit the reception, and hopefully be home by 10. 

I feel bad that both of the kids plans fell through Saturday night.  Ds wanted to have friends over to watch the game.  However, they are all on a field trip that he was supposed to go to, but somehow he missed the deadline, so it's his own fault. 

DD wanted to have friends sleepover after the fall festival.  It was her last one.  However, there are one of the girls I am not comfortable staying at the house without supervision, and I have to be at that wedding until 10 or so.  So now she is bummed.

Less than 1 week until we are on vacation! I need to start packing/organizing this weekend! DD has two soccer games too. Hoping not to take on anything else.

Hosting a boozy play date this afternoon/evening. Wrench: DD has to be picked up from the golf course. So...I will be sober at my boozy play date.

I am short tempered at work. I have been understaffed by 50% for the entire year. I am doing a lot of the work I usually manage, in addition to managing. Doing the nit picky detail stuff is making me really irritable - I never enjoyed it and now, since I haven’t done it in years, it is really boring.

Update - my mom’s condo closes next Friday. Cash deal with no mortgage on either side, inspection only required AC review (it’s new and surely didn’t perform as it was 60 degrees at the time of inspection), 1K in unnamed repairs, thank god. This weekend I have to clear it out, but this should be the LAST weekend I spend doing this. It’s a millstone around my neck but I will soon be released....

I am asking DH to cover church so I can brunch with my sorority sisters in town for homecoming. He’s going to be pissy. I don’t care because he leaves for a work trip Sunday afternoon and returns late Friday.

Maybe a mom's night out tomorrow. It's still up in the air who can attend, what we're doing, and no one will commit. If it falls through I will likely take myself to the movies.
Sunday I've got a work event. Not excited. It's a brunch with silent auction type deal and I have no money to bid on anything. Thankfully it's only a couple hours, not all day.

[waverly]

Dh just informed me he will not be home tonight, so I need dinner ideas because I was planning on him getting take out.

Going to a play tomorrow night. Sunday is cub scouts. Playdates I was trying to set up fell through. So no other plans. Oops I forgot we have family pictures and it is supposed to be cold, so I guess us in coats.  This is obviously DH's idea.

Vent/confession: For whatever reason for the last couple of weeks, one of the kids in DSs class gets out of line (at morning drop off) to talk to me. DS is an anxious kid and likes for me to stay until he goes in but I’m really considering leaving him so I don’t have to talk to her! She’s not lonely, she literally leaves the friends she is talking to in line to come talk to me. At first it was cute but damn, sometimes I don’t want to talk and I’d really like to tell her to buzz off. And all of the kids have noticed this too. 

Plans: DH is headed out of town on Sunday so I think I’m going to do my long run tomorrow, grocery shop, etc and then have a lazy day on Sunday. We’re still putting things back in their place so hopefully I can put a dent in that/finish it since my parents will be here in two weeks.

Today is DD's PTC and then after that I get to go to a happy hour with my bootcamp ladies. I'm really looking forward to it.

I have had this whole week off from any serious exercising since my big race was last weekend, and I believe the break will go into this weekend.

Tomorrow is DS' belt test (which he loves and we love!), gymnastic's and DD's soccer game. DS also has a birthday party. Sunday is looking wonderfully, blissfully free. Praise Jesus! (ha).

Maybe we'll go to church or sleep in or go to the park or....grocery shop, lol. Big plans here.

[k3am]

I have to go get my TB test checked so I can be one step closer to being able to volunteer at DD's school, DD needs a blood draw to check iron levels (because... she's 5.5 and has never had them checked, despite the dozens of different bloodwork she's done. DD got his checked after 4 months on iron supplements and he's still deficient), ballet, a kid's birthday party, a flag football game + potluck, and another birthday party on Sunday.

I'm going to need a weekend after my weekend.

[phdmomma]

This weekend we have DS's family birthday party on Sunday and then I fly out to travel for work for a week. So today I am scrambling to get all of my ducks in a row. Tomorrow we have swim lessons, party prep, a home football game (so my neighborhood will be a zoo), hosting out of town relatives for dinner, and an adult only halloween party. I am tired just thinking about it. I need to pack for traveling tomorrow and make DS's cake.

[polecat8]

Last night, DH and I went to a concert for date night and while it was a lot of fun, we realized that we are no longer able to stay up late. Especially when DS2 was up at 4am for no reason.
So we will relax tonight.
Tomorrow, DS1 has his last soccer game (hooray!). Then we are going to my parents' place to hang out and have dinner with them.
On Sunday, we need to figure out how to insulate our attic because our bedroom is getting too cold.

DH are away for the weekend. He got a comped weekend at a fancy hotel nearby after they pulled him back from vacation early for a huge project. We are here until Sunday, and have spa time, fancy dinners, and a nice brunch planned on Sunday. We need some time alone to reconnect, so this will be good.

My parents have the kids tonight (begrudgingly) and our old nanny is taking them tomorrow.

[covergirl82]

No plans tonight - yay! I need to get some cleaning done, but I should have quite a bit of time to work on it.

Tomorrow morning we're stopping by MIL's to drop off cards and a gift. Then DS was just invited to a birthday party tomorrow evening, so I'll see if DD wants to go out to dinner.

Sunday we have church and then small group in the evening.

ETA:  Random:  I just looked at our mortgage statement because our monthly payment was made yesterday, and our mortgage loan principal is under $200K.  In seven years, we've only paid off about 13% from the purchase price, but it still feels like we've hit a milestone and are making progress.

I’m on a work trip today. It’s a little annoying because it’s really a trip to get the lawyers at our company a chance to see what our operations look like. But I’m in Operations. So I don’t really need this. Alas, I’m stuck on this trip, missing yet another evening with my kids.

On the other hand, my coworkers are great company, so it could definitely be worse.

This weekend is all cheerleading all the time for DD. She has 2 football games on Saturday plus a “competition” on Sunday. It’s more like a recital. All the little kid teams get to cheer and get a ribbon or trophy or something. No actual competition. Which is good because her team is really not good. Cute? Yes. Enthusiastic? Absolutely. Talented? Ummmm. Maybe a couple of the girls.

Open gym tonight. I asked for a couple of alone hours tomorrow to work on Christmas shopping. Other than that leaf pick up and garden stuff.

I have a 2nd grade teacher problem. She feels that the kids will learn spelling, math, etc just in class and we don't need to do any at home. Got the last 2 spelling quizzes and DD got 9/15 right. So not good. I was quizzing her last night and she knew none of the words. We fought over practicing them because Mrs M says we don't need to and by seeing them all week we magically know them. I'm sorry this isn't the work ethic or philosophy I want my kid learning. No idea how to broach this with her teacher.

Oh those looking for a good study app that you can customize try www.quizlet.com
My sister recommended it for DD and uses it for her classes for vocab practice.

Keep those heath bars rere!

I chaperoned a preschool field trip today and have some work to do tonight. I’m really looking forward to the Indian takeout coming between those two things. I may also try and slip out for a grocery run. We are out of coffee.

Saturday I have an exercise class in the AM and then I’m taking the girls to the playground and later a birthday party. Sunday I have breakfast with an old friend and then I’ll bum around with H and the girls, do some yard work, laundry, etc.

[k3am]

Friday confession: I am so, so, so ready for Christmas. I'm one of those people that everyone hates. We won't put up any decorations until after Thanksgiving, but my I am so ready for it.

[sandandsea]

We had soccer tonight then dh left for Israel for a week for work so I’m solo parenting for a week. My mom was busy so we couldnt fly her out to help. I’m jealous. I want an awesome work trip with adult meals at a fancy hotel and all that adult and alone time. And being alone with both kids for a week is hard. That’s 10 drop offs and pick ups 4 days of soccer and 14 bedtimes plus work. I’m tired.

Tomorrow and Sunday we have soccer and church tomorrow. I’m trying to keep the week simple and easy otherwise and do the minimum.

[xctsclrx]

Confession: I set my son's ok to wake clock back last night. I actually got an extra hour of sleep last night. He will never know.

[divanerd]

Going to pumpkin farm so we can take Fall pic this year...late but better late than never.

[mommyatty]

Confession: We were just backing out of a parking place at Kohl’s, and a car was idling behind us. We watched as a lady in her 60s walked briskly out of the store and across the street to get into the car. All as we are sitting here, obviously trying to back out. I said, I thought quietly, “Oh, how nice, a douche bag.” And DD from the backseat said, “Yep, that lady was just totally douche-bagging.” And I laughed. I couldn’t help it.
