My kids are sleeping at my inlaws so we're going out in the city one night and then I plan on sleeping and catching up with work on Sunday. TBD on Monday plans.
I have a date with Costco after work. I get to go all alone and take my time. I'll probably get a pizza for my dinner Saturday I'm working. DD is supposed to have a grandma date day but we may be cancelling that since those two are not getting along very well or they were just both in bad moods yesterday after school. Sunday I'm working and then will pick DD and the dog up to go have dinner at my parents to celebrate my b-day. I'm really not looking forward to it as I really just want to go home and deal with laundry and house stuff so I don't have to try and fit it in later in the week especially as I didn't do laundry last weekend so there is lots of it. Monday is no school for President days. DD is coming to work with me and then I'm leaving at 2 to take her to the chiropractor and then we will meet DH for an early dinner out before her private lesson at gym.
The kids were all about Valentine's this year. We made heart pancakes for breakfast, everyone is decked out in Valentine's clothes, and we're doing a heart pizza for dinner.
DH is at a volleyball tournament this weekend. I'm honestly not sure if his body is up for it or not, but we shall see.

Tonight will be heart shaped pizza with DS. We have the long weekend together and it's our first weekend without basketball. I need to do some major cleaning around the house and we may check out a new play place in our area. We may end up doing something with my parents and beau.
Tonight the girls and I are going to watch Frozen 2 since it's available on Amazon now and they're obsessed. I think I'll make heart shaped pancakes for dinner for something fun and easy. Maybe we'll do it slumber party style and watch the movie in my bed. That's like a major treat for them.
Tomorrow we're spending the day with beau and his son. Beau's mom is joining us too. She's excited to meet my girls, so that's cute. Who doesn't love more grandmas in their life? Saturday night the girls have parents' night out at gymnastics so they'll be gone all night and I have no idea what I'm going to do with myself. Maybe take myself to the movies? All my friends have plans, because obviously it's Valentine's weekend. Or I'll end up just hanging with beau and his family. We'll see how it shakes out.
Sunday the girls and I are going to see a play at the high school. They're at such a great age for theater now, I love getting to share that experience with them since I love it so much.
Still waiting to see if Dd is going to the basketball game. If she does, Dh and I will drive her into town and go to dinner. If not, I'd rather have a chill dinner at our neighborhood bar and grill and not fight the Valentine's diners at the nicer restaurants.
Tomorrow the entire family plus some of Ds's friend and their moms, who are my friends, are going on a day trip. There is some hunting convention 2 hrs from here. Dh and the boys are going to that. It is beside a huge mall, so the moms and Dd and I are going shopping. We will all meet up at Dave and Busters later.
Sunday is church, chill, food prep and maybe some homemade pizza.
Earlier this week the principal sent an email to me and the librarian/mom of troubled kid stating that we were to ensure that our children exchanged Valentine’s with THE ENTIRE CLASS, including DD1 and Trouble exchanging. This was not a question to me, and DD1 had already put together a Valentine for Trouble before we received the email.
FF to today, I get a call because it was noticed by other students that Trouble gave everyone EXCEPT FOR DD1 a Valentine. Then the questions from other kids start about why Trouble would leave DD1 out, making DD1 feel even worse.
Principal was out at a class today and has so far been silent on the topic, but I know she was told.
I’m so tired of all of this. I’m glad we have next week off
We are laying low tonight. I made a crockpot chocolate lava cake and it smells delicious. That could be dinner. 😬
I took today off. I did 2 loads of laundry, shampooed the playroom carpet, and washed the super gross stovetop. DH and I went out to eat for breakfast and lunch because he is working from home. And took my car in for an oil change- still waiting to head back on if it’s done.
Tomorrow we are selling GS cookies at a booth, and have a play date. Sunday is a birthday party and Monday is the chiropractor. The kids school and my work is closed Monday.
I’m thinking about picking up the kids from aftercare but I know they will complain no matter what so maybe I’ll just leave them there until our normal pick up time.
We had a nice dinner last night with friends visiting from Boise. The kids were off today so I had to WFH. Used gym childcare this morning for a workout and one conference call, then listened to another from home. DH is taking DS1 to tball later. I have not changed out of my gym clothes, showered, or put on makeup. I may not since I’m just going to work out again tomorrow morning. My workouts are not particularly sweaty these days since I try not to get my heart rate up too much while pregnant.
DH left me a card and what he wrote was so sweet it made me cry. It makes me happy that he could care less about cards, but knows that I love them so he makes the effort. I also suspect that the box on top of our armoire is some fancy chocolate. I should probably write something in the card I got for him

I took a few hours off this afternoon to help pack up the book fair. DD1 goes to a public K-8 school with 1500 kids. So many books! So much furniture to move back into place. My back hurts now so I am having wine while then kids play in the yard.
Doing zoo night at the zoo Saturday night. The kids will have a ball, I’m sure, and I’ll have dinner with friends. H is home early early Sunday and is home for a week before the last trip for a while. We are looking forward to seeing him and will probably just hang out at home Sunday. I am hoping to catch an exercise class.
Just got an email that the girls get next Friday off because their coach is out of town so they have make up practice on Monday from 12:30-3:30. So much for DD and I spending Monday afternoon together. I luckily was able to move her appointment to 11:40 instead of 2:40 so I guess I will take her to her appointment and then to practice and just go back to work for a few hours. The whole point of taking Monday afternoon off was to have 1 on 1 time with DD. But I know DD won't want to miss practice and I don't want to sit for 3 hours watching practice as that really isn't quality time.
I called an audible and took all of today off. My original plan was to take off the morning for parent-teacher conferences, then go in after lunch. But my calendar was clear, so I figured why not? DH and I went out to lunch at a place we found by accident. It was awesome food and a really cute diner. Then we did exciting stuff like get the car washed and go to Target without children. You know, the parent version of a hot date.
Tomorrow is a birthday party for a girl in DS’s class. Until last week, he called her his girlfriend. Now he says she’s mean and yells all the time. He was okay with going to a party but didn’t want to give her a present. The turkey.
Sunday and Monday are blessedly open. Thank you, fate! I need a couple of days.
