Weekend thread

[waverly]

Entertain me. I’m super bored, I can’t drive and I can’t shower because I can’t get my dressings wet. My hair is very greasy. I’m a vision of loveliness. So let me live vicariously through you. Bandages come off Wednesday.

DH took DD to soccer and DS is watching wrestling and going to his basketball game (transported by the BB coach) since I can’t drive. Of course their games are at the same time.



I figured out how to lean over the tub and wash my hair with the handheld, so that’s a plus.

I’m at Universal doing all things Harry Potter with DD1.

I wish universal ran as smoothly as Disney. It’s driving me nuts how inefficient things are.

We also got stuck on a ride when it stopped working. We were suspended in air for about 15 minutes-it was awful.

Oh no!

callmekd - that’s the worst!! That happened to DH on some coaster at Universal too!

Today has been surprisingly boring. Dd2 had an early soccer game (win) followed by basketball (crushing loss by 2). DD1’s team won their game last night, and it was just the most pleasant game of the season. Everyone cheered for everyone - both teams for both teams. We were up by a lot, so we had the kids focus on feeding the ball to a couple of kids that hadn’t scored yet this season. One did, and both teams stopped playing to cheer for her. I was sad that DD1 couldn’t play, but her “boyfriend” stayed and sat on the bench with her. He’s a sweetheart and his sister is on the team, and his mom is one of the coaches with me.

Both kids have friends here and I’m doing a million loads of laundry in between cooking. I made southwest chicken salads for lunch and have pizza dough rising.

I’m very exciting.

DS has a bff at school. They have been talking on the phone while playing Roblox. It makes me really happy since socializing is hard for him. But last night the bff called from a different number and said “this is J. I might call from random numbers sometimes because I can’t FaceTime on my tablet and sometimes my mom wants her phone so I have to borrow someone else’s.” He’s the third of four kids so he was on his brother’s phone. Lol. His brother piped up and said “They can only talk for 15 minutes because I kind of want my phone back.” But he was super sweet when he said it.

Now I’m waiting to see if DS wants to go to the water park later. I really hope not because I’m tired and my shoulder hurts. I’d like to take it easy.

mae0111, You’re more exciting than me.

DS has a birthday party at 5. Luckily it’s the neighbors so we don’t have to drop off or pick up. Since I can’t drive I never picked up a present so I guess he is going empty handed. And they fed my kids on surgery day. We’ll get him something eventually. It just won’t be today I guess….Neither man or boy in the house seems to care about this mental load task so I guess I don’t either. Y’all know I’ve bought 8 billion birthday presents and DH has bought zero.

ETA- apparently DH let slip to SIL that I had surgery then MIL calls offended. I can’t. Should I tell my family that DH is having (insert most embarrassing surgery we can think of here)? WTF. I didn’t specifically say don’t tell anyone I just thought it was obvious.

I've been at work since 8 this morning and I'm stuck on the client I've been working on. I'm calling it quit and going to the grocery store and then home to do all the stuff. I didn't sleep great last night because my hand hurts a lot. I wish I could take a nap.

My dining room table replacement delivery was today. It’s been on order since… October maybe? Delivery team came into look at my table to see what the issue was, then asked me to go look at the one they brought before I brought it in. It looked okay from my angle, and then they started pointing out issues.. and the brand new replacement table has more flaws than the one it’s supposed to replace. Le sigh. So I refused delivery (at their suggestion) and now will likely wait another 4-5 months and hope for a replacement in good shape. Le sigh.

Update: This morning I screwed up all of my courage to tell DS his teacher is leaving. His response? “I knew that.” One of the other kids told him last week. He likes the teacher who is going to replace her, so he’s fine. All that worry for nothing, at least now. We shall see when she’s really gone and he has the new teacher. We are meeting him on Tuesday to do our spring teacher conference. His teacher did tell us that he blew his standardized tests out of the water, though, so that’s good. But it also makes me even sadder she’s leaving since her methods were working with him.

An update to my ridiculous cousin thread…

I just got a text from the cousin that kind of spilled the beans about the Saturday party - sent to me and another cousin that couldn’t make it yesterday. She said, “we missed you yesterday! Cousin J said it wasn’t the best day for you, but that you’ll see her another time.”

No.

That’s not what happened. I was not invited.

I have not responded.

mommyatty - I’m glad your DS is going into this change without feeling uncomfortable. I know it’s disappointing, and I hope that the new teacher can pick up where the old teacher left off.

Our weekend has been pretty chill. DS's hockey team is doing so well and they are now at the top of the division. It's pretty fun.

DH and I have been discussing junior high options. We went to a few open houses last week and are now heavily leaning towards sending DS to this one particular sports school. We do find it funny that we are considering sending our son who wants to be a mathematician to a sports school - but they appear to be very focused on individual planning (due to all the accommodations they have to make for their elite athletes), so may actually be a good fit for DS.
