FRIDAY!!!!!!

[rere]

It has been a week.  I am tired.  DH has to work this weekend, so we went out for dinner and drinks last night while the kids were ice-skating.  Now a friend txted me to see if I want to go for drinks for a retirement party tonight.  I really just want to do laundry and go to bed, so we will see.  I do need to see if I can find some new running shoes after work and stop by a fish fry for dinner. 


Tomorrow we are doing our variety show and our act is Sister Act.  I do not know the words to my part, so I need to do that tonight also.  DS is going with me and DD is babysitting and she is thrilled.  


Sunday, mom wants to have us over for dinner.  Fine by me.  I plan on spending the day in sweats, so if she wants to cook, I am great with it and can stay in my sweats.

I'm ready for the weekend, but also wishing it wasn't as crazy as it is.

Beau's grand opening is tonight. He keeps wavering between banishing me from the chaos and wanting me to stop by for moral support. So I have no idea what's happening. It's a 45 minute drive into the city, so I hope he makes up his mind soon so I can plan my evening.
Tomorrow I'm going to lunch and a show with my grandmother, looking forward to catching up with her, but it's going to eat up basically the whole day.
Sunday is a friend's birthday down in the city, so if I'm going to swing by the restaurant either before or after that since I'll be in the area anyway. Again, all day affair. Fun, but I'm tired already.

Somewhere in there I need to start packing for Mexico and make sure I have everything I need. Ugh. I hate the task of trying on all my summer clothes to put together outfits for 9 days. It always results in some kind of last minute shopping trip when stuff doesn't fit or I realize I need a million little things from CVS.

WFH today so I can go to a poster presentation DD is doing at school this afternoon. But right after I go to her poster presentation, I'm going to a work happy hour. I don't want to go, but I need to because I'm new and need to build relationships.

Tomorrow morning DH and DS are going to Little League assessments; DH is helping and DS will be doing an assessment. At this point, he's already got a spot on a Majors LL team, but apparently it's good for him to do an assessment anyway. DD and I are going to a youth group fundraiser breakfast at church. After that, we have no additional plans for Saturday. I need to catch up on cleaning and will start some spring cleaning and organization.

Sunday is church, and then I'm hoping to meet a friend for coffee. It's supposed to be around 50 degrees and partly sunny, so we're going to make sure the kids get outside for a while to get some fresh air and sunshine. Then we're going to a celebration/season wrap-up dinner that evening with DD's Odyssey of the Mind team.

Sunday is the one-month mark until our spring break trip, and I can't wait!! Who knows, I may start packing this weekend because I'm so exited...

I'm not working tomorrow!!! I'm playing hooky and taking DD up to the college gymnastic meet and we are meeting up with a bunch of her teammates.
Today we have no scheduled appointments at work so I'm hoping to actually get something accomplished. Will stop at the store before picking DD up from practice to grab a few things. Saturday after the meet we have to do full on grocery shopping. I really hope the store isn't too insane. Sunday I'm working all day with no interruptions.

It’s been a crazy week. Our contractor has disappeared and is supposed to install a window tomorrow. He could have done that all week, when it was 50-60° and sunny, but he’s choosing to do it when it’s 30° tomorrow. That’s if he shows up. I miss my kitchen.

So I’m racing today to different meetings, then my mom wants me and the kids to meet for pizza tonight. Tomorrow DD1 has a play date, and DD2 has a party tomorrow evening. Sunday the girls both have basketball.

I feel like my to-do list is insane. I have 1 firm and 2 potential work projects, the kitchen reno, dr and dentist stuff, urgent financial planning stuff related to DH’s business, endless kid stuff, school stuff... I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but this week made me feel like a crazy person.

Tonight starts my week with DS. So far our plans include going grocery shopping and to my parents' house for my dad's birthday dinner on Sunday. A few weeks ago I told DS that we would go to the new play place in our area but that ended up being the weekend he was sick. We may do that this weekend.

Today’s DDs actual birthday. I took today off and spent the morning before school with her, dropped her off, sent my mom off on the next leg of her journey (confirmed GPS is working, but who knows) and am now enjoying a quick bite before going to the spa for a facial.

I took today off. I spent my morning going through medicines, organizing and got a few essentials from the pharmacy.

I come home to eat my salad, and it’s gone bad. We have no food in the house. I sent DS to school with a shameful lunch for a field trip. We’ll see how he did with it. In my defense I was never told they needed to bring a lunch until last night at 9pm, and couldn’t get to the store.

So I guess instead of eating I am running to the grocery store. I miss Pea Pod. Womp womp.

You guys remember the HR thing with my coworker who had a hissy fit? I had lunch with my boss today to talk about it, and all is well with him. I also sent him an email yesterday outlining just how much anxiety I’m feeling around work and telling him that I’ve probably crossed over from merely being anxious to having a full-blown anxiety or panic disorder. He said his wife has an anxiety disorder and is now taking medication to help. So it was a really great conversation. And I feel about 1000 lbs lighter having said to another human that my level of anxiety is not normal. Because honestly my level of anxiety... is not normal.

It has been a crazy week. And nothing is going to slow down anytime soon. Our babysitter cancelled for our date night tonight and that's probably a good thing because I need to pack and do laundry for our short ski trip starting tomorrow.

Tomorrow is opening day for t-ball, so DS1 has a game and then a parade, and then we're leaving after lunch for a ski area a few hours away. We're going with friends we really like but don't get to see very often, so that will be good. We'll be there for two nights and come back on Monday. I'm not snowboarding this year because I'm pregnant, so I'll hang with DS2 while everyone else skis/snowboards on Sunday. We'll come back Monday, and my parents will have gotten to town while we're gone, so we'll see them and then I fly at 9 pm Monday night to New Mexico for a work meeting the next day. I also have another flying day trip next Thursday, then next weekend our plans are to potty train DS2 (he'll turn 3 in June right around the baby's due date, so we really need to get him trained so we're not dealing with it with a newborn). Then MIL comes to stay with us for a week. So while I'm excited about seeing our friends this weekend, I feel like I have endless craziness stretching in front of me.

TGI effing F! It’s been such a week at work. Such a week. Exciting things, frustrating things, all the things. But it’s Friday, I took the day off to chaperone a field trip, H is coming home tonight and I am going to have a glass of wine once I escape this Chick Fil A.

Tomorrow kids have horse riding lessons and then DD1 has ukulele. I hope to slip into an exercise class. That night they’ll have pizza and movie with the babysitter while H and I meet friends for dinner. It’s been gorgeous out and the place we are going to has an outdoor bar with a fire pit, so hoping we can sit there.

Sunday we have nothing planned. Play outside, do some light yard work, who knows. There’s an art show down the road if I’m feeling ambitious.

H is out with friends tonight which he never does. I’m packing up the car and coolers so I can take 4 year old DS to the ski mountain about 45 mins away in the am so I can work with him 1:1.

H will take DD and DS to practice and then by the time they get back early afternoon, little DS will fizzle out. I decided I’m going to take him home and switch with H, and go back to the mountain and ski with the big kids since my pass is open to close, and they are both free.

It’s my last pass, and so this will be the last ski of the season. Sad to see it over but that means camping season is around the corner.

If my legs can handle it, I’m going to try for 20 miles on Sunday early am. If I am successful, I will sign up for a 50k at the end of March.

Our contractor showed up to fix the wall in my office that was damaged by roof leak #2, so that wrecked my work day. Only because he and DH chit chat more than 2 women. He was here for 2 hours and worked for 30 minutes lol. My dinner plans with friends fell through since one of us was sick and the plans were made so we could all meet another one's new baby. DS wasnt mad.

Tomorrow our plan is to work on the bathroom that is unfinished. Before we do that I need to go order DD's birthday cake and I think I'll use it to get one on one time with DS. Kids are supposed to stay all night at my moms tomorrow so we'll see.

Sunday will be laundry, more bathroom and painting. Also have a 4H meeting.

I about got into a really bad accident on my way home from a meeting today. Less than a mile and a half from home I was turning left onto our road and as I started to turn I caught out of the corner of my eye in my side mirror a car passing the car behind me. Had he kept going he would have hit me right in my door. I was surprised at how shaken up I was.

Ds has a race this weekend so we are driving to the track tonight. We left 1.5 hours later than we hoped but should still make it there by 9pm. Also we just had a soccer game scheduled on Wednesday for this Sunday so we won’t be making it which is super annoying. I’m hoping ds does well this weekend.

DD had a night around the campfire for school last night. It’s the end of the week-long living history chapter they do on Indians. Until this year it has always been a sleepover. The kids and parents were all bummed by the change. It also meant going to pick her up at 10:00 last night. She’s pretty tired today and her little bro is excited she’s home so they are a little mismatched in terms of energy.

I brought DD to get a pedicure while DH takes DS for a haircut. We have a fancy dinner fundraiser tonight (the Safari Chic one at the zoo you guys helped me shop for) and the kids are staying with their grandma overnight. Tomorrow we are totally having a quiet day. We so need it!
