It’s the Weekend

[inthekitty]

Yay! Work has consumed so many of my weekends this past year and I'm finally back to normality of one weekend a month. It's a great feeling. Soccer this morning and then whatever I feel like dammit.

[klong11]

Busy day today...for Cadence, not me, I'm just her Uber driver. Gymnastics, swim class, then a gymnastics birthday party. Mh is going to pick up a dollhouse while we're at swim class. I found it on letgo. $200 house for $40! Hopefully, it is actually in good condition like the guy says. The pictures looked good though.

Enjoy your free weekend inthekitty!

lfig Hope you and S are still sleeping...what a night :/

[flamingo]

Morning!

The dinner last night was a success! I love entertaining but I'm always so afraid of being judged on our house or whatever--especially this one!--but everyone was complementary and all the food turned out really well. (We finished 3.5 bottles of wine b/n 7 of us, if anyone was curious ) My whole body felt achy last night from being on my feet so much the last couple days, bed has never felt so good.

We are headed to t-ball in a bit, B has a game at 10. It's going to be warm today so I should probably go shave my legs so I can wear shorts

[kim22]

Good morning! We have tball at 12, hockey at 2, and soccer at 4. I have to work the snack stand for tball. We will need both cars to trade off kids and equipment as we go.

Morning! Nothing big on the agenda today. It’s going to be a gorgeous day and my only real plan is to work on putting my house back together after 2 weeks of houseguests. I might try to go to the campground and take a walk (I have an easy 3 mile loop there that I usually walk...when I’m on a walking kick...which I haven’t been in a long time). I’m finally feeling up to more activity since my surgery.

Tomorrow S is going to her new babysitter for a few hours. Just to sort of test her out before I actually start working weekends in a few weeks. I’m looking forward to a few hours of no responsibilities. Lol.

This sounds absolutely exhausting! Have fun!

Question....I’m going to be in STL for an appointment on the same day as my nieces preschool graduation. Am I supposed to get her something for preschool graduation? If so...what? Toys, clothes, a keepsake? My other nieces and nephew didn’t go to preschool. They stayed home with my sister who was a SAHM. Now my sister is back to work as a ...preschool teacher.

[yummeecookee]

Good morning everyone. As you know from me mentioning it yday, I’m trying to PT C today. Wish us luck!

lfig, I would prolly get her a little something. Maybe just a small toy and a card.

[yummeecookee]

Also anyone have any methods to get dry erase marker out of fabric? I’ve discovered some of B’s handiwork.😡😡

Morning! I went out to dinner with my sister last night, which is always lovely, but she dropped a bombshell. Between her, my husband who also dropped a bombshell earlier this week (which worked out in the end), XH shenanigans and the dog, I might run into my therapist's office today and refuse to leave. Everything is ok, I am just emotionally exhausted!

I'm packing up my babies this morning, because my SIL is picking up all 4 kids for a sleepover. God bless her! H and I are going to peruse a city wide garage sale in a swanky nearby town and take it easy today. The best ❤️

[dapostrophe]

yummeecookee Good Luck with PT! Can you spray the cushion with Shout and toss it in the wash? Just had this happen with Theo on my linen chair covers (but it was crayon) and they came out good as new.

lfig How's Miss Sierra feeling this morning? Hope you were able to get a little rest.

[vino]

Sounds like a good day dapostrophe, enjoy!

Glad you’re party went well flamingo, I’m sure it was amazing.

How did the counter install go yesterday mwhip?

[peachsmama]

Good morning all. Mowing grass today. I'm not doing the woods so it should only take 3 hours. Then I want to take down some old fence in my pony pasture. I mowed their pasture last night and there's some old fencing falling apart. I don't want her to hurt herself.

[slenle]

Hi!! Finally had a chance to catch up on the last couple days. We’re having a blast on vacation. We hit day one hard so yesterday was more of a recovery day. We had massages and took a nap and went to bed at a decent time.

Today is my friends 30th birthday and we’re doing another day of wineries. I’m missing the kids but they seem to be doing great at my parents so that helps.

Happy Saturday!

[vino]

I’m starting Saturday as one would, waiting in line to renew my vehicle registration, there’s already a line up and some dude is whistling. THE WORST.

Apparently you can do it online if it’s done before the 15th, so it’s already noted in my calendar for next year.

[yummeecookee]

Enjoy your kid free day dapostrophe!

[wineallthetime]

flamingo, glad it went well! What food did you serve?

lfig, I say no to a preschool graduation gift. At most I'd do his/her favorite candy/treat.

[wineallthetime]

Hello hello. MH and I took turns working out. We have plans to deep clean our house and also have a friend's housewarming/birthday party/a diaper party for us later? MH and I didn't realize the diaper party part and I feel bad, I don't want people to feel like they need to bring us anything, especially because a lot of friends already gave us gifts after Arlo was born.

Oh no!

I’ve heard magic eraser works on upholstery, let me see if I can find the blog where I saw it for any extra tips

ETA: here you go, looks like a miracle worker!

Dollhouse is a bust. The seller changed his mind. I'll just keep looking.

I did several apps, and then our main course was a chicken and wild rice casserole with a spinach salad. Hummingbird cake and magic cookie bars for dessert!

Thankfully we have enough for leftovers tonight and snacks this weekend, because after all the cooking and washing up the last couples days I don’t want to see the kitchen for a week 😂

[lahdeedah]

Morning.

Glad you have a kid free day today! dapostrophe

Yay for party success flamingo.

yummeecookee Magic eraser works on everything else, I would try it on the cushions. We just took some of M’s art work off a wall last week with it. The paint in this house is not kid friendly, so I wasn’t expecting it to work, but I was pleasantly surprised.

[lahdeedah]

MH took M with him to work a bit ago, so it’s just me and M2 for a few hours before we head to the spring football game. I just put him down for a nap. I need to tidy up and get myself ready to go out. I need to hit up a few stores and get my rings cleaned. Hope M2 is on a good mood while we are out.

vino the install went well! They cut the hole for our sink a little too big, which of course we didn't notice til they had left, but we made it work, so I'm happy with it! This is the granite with the backsplash we will eventually have installed.

We picked up everything yesterday except the tile and should set appointments early next week to get installs set up.

[mwhip]

No painting today, I'm at the salon getting my color done and a trim. We have to go to Home Depot (of course) to talk to them about the trim they ordered, and is too big.

I think we will probably start boxing stuff in anticipation of carpet install soon. Don't worry, we will paint tomorrow. A weekend can't pass without painting in my world!

[klong11]

Mh got tickets for us to go to the movies tomorrow to see Ready Player One. Unfortunately, FIL said he couldn't watch Cadence, so he is now going with a friend while I stay home with her.
I'm a little irritated because FIL says he is going to his grandson's soccer game. He is 5. They have a soccer game every week, FIL has been to all of them. Skipping one isn't going to be that big of a deal, or maybe offer to take Cadence to the game, but nope. He sees him multiple times a week and sees Cadence way less.
Whatever. It's a FWP, I know. It's just irritating that not as much effort is made to see Cadence. He's never been to her dance recitals or anything.

[tgrimes]

klong11 I’m sorry. That’s really unfair.
