Share your Friday/weekend thoughts.

I have 3 job interviews today so as you can imagine my stomach is turning & I am trying to distract myself here hahaha.

Tonight I am planning to cook dinner, drinks some wine, and watch the new LulaRoe documentary for some enjoyable trash tv.

Best of luck for your interviews! I hope you knock their socks off. I am looking forward to watching that docu as well, might even wear a lula outfit as I do!

Good luck! I'm sure you'll rock them. Just make it a great conversation (that's what a recruiter told me once)

It is Friday, so as long as today goes ok we have made it through the first (partial) week of school. Soccer starts tomorrow, but their first practice was rained out so J is very aghast that they are playing a soccer game tomorrow with zero practice beforehand. Both kids are playing so I get to spend every Sat morning at the soccer field for 2.5 hrs through next month...I am not looking forward to it, honestly. MH can only attend like 1 or 2 games because he had a bunch of previous obligations and work so it is all me.

Tonight I promised the kids a movie night sleepover in my bed because MH is on call and J really missed us this week. I will absolutely regret this when I ditch the kids & puppy in my bed and end up sleeping on the couch later, but they are so excited about it. I think we are going to download paramount plus and watch the new paw patrol movie. And then swim at the pool all weekend because it closes for the season on the 19th.

S had an early morning allergist appt, so once the kids were on the bus, I came back to a quiet house and poured some hot coffee to enjoy on my back porch while it's still cool out.

I should try to apply for a few jobs today. And prob do something with monster dog, too 🤪

My BIL is coming in for an overnight layover, so it will be good to catch up with him and ask have a few beers together.

[mintyblueair]

Good luck today charlotte!!

Aw, thank you 😊. It's vv small, but at least we can enjoy it again since S put up that fence to keep the chickens separate. Of course, we finally get it to a good point, and we're thinking of moving 🤦🤷

Knock it out of the park charlotte. I’m sure you will dazzle them.

milano get you a comfy lawn chair and a snack bag and an xl coffee and a blankie and maybe a pack mule to carry everything for you and have fun at those soccer games. But for real, get each kid a soccer backpack and pack it the night before. Make sure you find uniforms, cleats, shinguards, and socks the night before. And I cannot underestimate the necessity of snacks. Especially during the sibling’s game.

We also have our first soccer game of the season tomorrow. We have a new girl who is very behind the rest of our team. And her mom is something else. She’s a super republican, super loudmouth, who also likes to “blast” people on the internet when she doesn’t get her way. So I’m really scared of her ruining the beautiful happy soccer family we have carefully and lovingly curated over the last 6 years (mh has been coaching the same core team since they were 3.) So instead of loving every minute of the season, I’m agonizing over every email and every detail so we don’t get caught slipping up and get “blasted.”

I just walked the neighborhood with the college teammate that lives down the street. Feels like such a grownup thing to have a walking partner in the neighborhood.

[rhymeswithdisco]

Good luck today charlotte!

I'm applying for new jobs. My boss is the absolute worst and I've reached my limit.

I talked to a stranger at yoga and she was super nice. I have admired her style from afar for a while so I finally asked her what brand her nail polish was and also where she got her top from. And we are now BFF. (I mean obv not but now we are friendly acquaintances instead of strangers. I am very proud of myself.)

Thank you for this reminder to cancel paramount PLus free trial.

They did love the movie.

Heck yeah!

I’m thinking about doing dinner and the new Cinderella movie on Amazon prime with camila cabello tonight with the girls. Like, in the game room on the big tv and actually letting the kids eat their food on the couch. It’s sausage and air fried cauliflower gnocchi. Will I regret it? Probably. Do I care? Nah. They have had a rough week.

Rock those interviews, charlotte!!

It's a cute movie. We have our free trial through Sunday so we'll probably watch again.

You're killing it! I so often WANT to approach and make friends and seldom do because, well, I'm me. Great job, Teej.

+1 to this. I've had to interview a whole lot of people these days and a good conversation goes a really long way. In part because how a person will mesh with the rest of the crew here is almost more important than their prior job history.

I'm super late but good luck charlotte! I hope you did amazing!

This is the first weekend since my parents left, so we're meeting with my bestie and family at the apple orchard tomorrow. I'm going to see about dressing the kids nicely and maybe taking some pictures (if I can convince hubby to dress nicely too!). Then I guess we'll have to clean up because we got notice that someone from the property management company is coming to set traps because there's mice in the building. We've had one mouse, but the cat took care of it. At some point I'd like to try to get to the laundromat to use their big dryers but I'll have to play that one by ear.

[mintyblueair]

We had a friend and her kids come over this morning to play in the backyard. Then one of the guys renovating our bathroom came and installed the pocket door and put all the trim up. Now we just have to wait for the vanity to be installed in a couple of weeks and then they'll come back and finish the tiling. I can't wait for it to be finished.

MH suddenly remembered that he had a dinner with some colleagues tonight, so I invited my mom for dinner here. The girls are both in bed and my mom is about to head home. Then I'll spend the evening reading some school stuff.

MH spent this week climbing grain bins so he's apparently behind on emails and wants to spend the weekend working... but I want to go to the mall with my mom. I desperately need jeans and new sneakers. Maybe a new pair of boots.

So we did this. And I loved it. The music is banging and there is female empowerment. And Billy Porter as the Fabulous Godmother. Which was perfection.
We got all showered up and snuggled on the couch with pillows and blankies in our pjs and ate dinner and watched the movie just us girls and it was lovely.

[stringy]

Ohhh we watched Vivo tonight and everyone liked it. On Netflix. LMM wrote the music etc.

We were going to maybe do Cinderella. Maybe next time.
