What were the highs/lows of your weekend?

[2brides]

Highs? Lows?

[twotrue]

High? - Spending some lazy time watching movies on the couch.

Low? - None of us felt good. We all have JB's daycare cold. Oh and maybe even lower, I had to go clothes shopping and nothing fit right. I can't even blame pregnancy. :-( It was awful. I need work pants and I still fit in the same size I did before my first pregnancy, but I'm just shaped different so one size fits but doesn't look as good as I would like and the next size up is too big. And this was the same for a variety of styles. Made me so sad.

Highs? the beautiful weather yesterday, getting the kids to bed early and easily all 3 nights, getting more clutter out of our house, going to the playground with neighbors (I miss adult conversation when L isn't home all weekend!)

Lows? A fight with L, the freezing soccer game (the air temp was upper 40s, but the wind was gusting.), and the kids waking at 5am.

Highs - Peanut saying "I had fun with you, Mommy" after painting and "That was a good walk!" after our tricycle ride around the neighborhood.

Also, S coming to bail me out of a bad situation without complaining when I took the kids to ride their trikes (LM went around the corner and I didn't have any way to have my eyes on both of them; Pnut was going super slow and LM was racing ahead and either didn't hear or ignored my instruction to stop and wait for us).

Lows - I hurt my finger several weeks ago when we took the kids to a farm, and it's not getting any better. I'm tired of the pain and about to break down and go to the doctor.

High: J had 2 days in a row off.

Low: Finding lice in A's hair.

[hensmum]

High: Getting the house to myself for a bit yesterday for some bonus cooking and cleaning time.

Low: Ugh, daylight savings time does not agree with my kid.

Brit - good luck with the counseling. Hope it does everything you need it to do.

GL Brit! I hope it is helpful and healing!

[joyseattle]

GL Brit, counseling has always been helpful for us.

High: going out Sat night to a dance club night our friend's DJ and C does a photobooth, I got to see friends and dance a bit. Because C didn't dance with me she promised me two babies and another puppy/dog.

Low: Two stupid mini-arguments, one just before leaving (but luckily recognized it was stress related to need to get everything ready to go and apologized to each other) and the other about the new dresser that's (IMO) the "wrong color white." Also, stress about my LP/progesterone levels.

[kershnic]

Low: I wanted to watch a movie and enjoy Saturday night, but DW was supposed to be packing for a work trip. She didn't end up getting that much done AND we didn't get to watch our movie or do anything else fun.

High: I finally got to go hang out with my friend who I had been wanting to see all week but hadn't been able to.

[kershnic]

Brit - sorry you're in this place, but I hope the counseling helps!

[mk]

Lows: I'm so sick (again/still) and so is the baby. We're both pretty miserable. K had a fun weekend with her mom (which they deserve) and I stayed home with a baby on sleep-strike. I have a tooth ache. and I only slept 2 hours last night.

Highs: I really do love that little baby, as infuriating as he can be! A friend came over yesterday and took pictures of the him, and they're super cute! She got some great ones of him and foster-grandma.

[seattlekari]

Good luck hensmum! I hope counseling is helpful for both of you. ((hugs))

High: A got the entire weekend off and we spent it mostly just hanging out doing nothing together.

Low: Having to say goodbye to A this morning as we head back to work and being physically apart.

[never2amazing]

Low: Not getting everything done in the house that I wanted to.

High: My dog snorting in my face to be let out as I laid on the couch/the next morning Little Man walked over to my side of the bed, blew in my face and told me to get up (he wanted to watch a "little bit" of Caillou)

[ct]

High: had fun making RB's cake with the kids on saturday

Low: lots of not-fun emotions running high

[quinny]

Brit (hugs) I'm glad you had the talk and you two are working together. Everything will work out the way it's meant to be. Now you just have to do the work to understand the outcome. Good luck.

Low: um.. I can't think of anything. My house is a train wreck, which is a super low, but for good reason (high) so I can't complain. I picked up Sally, my sisters dog this morning. She's high maintenance and makes my crazy neurotic dog, even more neurotic. It's going to be a looong 7 days.

High: We started a massive basement, attic, "attached room on the side of the house space that we use as a shed but are turning into an eat-in kitchen or 4 season room" renovation and I am really excited. My basement, as I have said, is really creepy, piled 1800's rocks and I've been reluctant to go down there but after a few hours, my anxiety has dropped off the charts and I can see it all coming together. Exciting!

[eratmama]

High--family pics at picture people. Carrot was SO excited when I told her we were going & Zucchini didn't want to stop taking pics. (Pumpkin was not so enthused, however

Low--seems like it was the weekend for high emotions--L and I are "off" and fighting. I hope our date night Sat (the first since May) will help!

hensmum--thinking of you, and hope it is helpful---quickly!

[bluedaisyus]

High: making progress on my baby's surprise big boy room, and getting the carport cleaned up and ready for winter.

Low: CLOMID. Ugh.

[ssg73]

High: Picking our christmas tree and tagging it at the tree farm. So fun. We also got family pictures taken. So excited to see the results. E was very cute so I hope we have some good shots. I am not so patiently waiting for the pictures.

Lows ELla slept like crap on Sat night. A combo of cramming her in a pack n play and daylight savings. She slept like a dream last night and was super happy this morning so that is a bright note . Sue and I had a little bit of a fight over where we both are in the rebuilding of the relationship. We worked through it and things are back on track again. Our couples therapist is on vacation last week and this week and although the break was nice it is obvious we still need our once a week session.

High: I enjoyed being productive and getting a bunch of stuff done, including mowing the lawn, lowering the crib mattresses (already! sniff!), and reorganizing the nursery. I also got to spend some QT with the babies.

Low: I had an interview for a crappy holiday job at the mall and afterward they told me that they don't actually have any positions but that they would put me on the list in case anyone quit. Gee, thanks. And just general anxiety about the job situation.

High/low/high: We went to a double baby shower on Sunday, which I had decidedly mixed feelings about. It was actually really fun, but went too long, and was with a bunch of people I don't really know. One of the moms knows we've been trying a while and conceived her baby on Clomid and as we were leaving just sort of pulled us aside and said she wished us the best of luck and was thinking of us, which was very thoughtful and made me feel good.
