Three day weekend

[nikkipal]

Are you on a trip? Hanging out? Working? Whatcha up to this holiday weekend?

[charlotte]

We are sitting at home this weekend trying to work with DS on using the toilet. Two successes so far.

I've got alcohol and a grocery delivery on the way. The essentials.

J is working Sat/Sun, but we're all off Monday, so that should be fun. Today was M's first ballet class. After, we went to the farmers market and she played on the playground while I sat back sipping cold brew coffee. It's a nice mild day, which is wonderful. Tomorrow we're going to church and meeting up with my cousin and her three kiddos for playing and dinner. M is so excited, she keeps asking when she'll see her cousins.

We're decluttering (again). It's cool and rain, rain, rainy, so definitely an inside day. We already sold a tricycle and hubs posted a La-z-boy recliner for sale. The girls are are supposed to be sitting through their artwork... It's going great LOL

[rugger]

All day: that's how long it took for R to finish sorting her artwork and to clean her room. She just finished at 4pm.

This is the first weekend in months where we have no set plans. Today, we went to the zoo and playground then had pizza for dinner. Tomorrow, we'll just hang at home all day since it's supposed to rain. Then Monday, I think we'll head to Sesame Place.

My in-laws arrived from France yesterday so we'll just spend the weekend hanging out with them. L took to them right away, so aside from the awkwardness of the language barrier it's been OK.

I'm having a miserable time in TN, with family- half of whom I can't stand. MH isn't with me and I miss him terribly. I really want to leave tomorrow instead of Monday, but kind of can't. I'm so over it. Apparently so is J, he keeps asking when we can go back to his home.

Thread downer over here.

[charlotte]

Ugh milano I'm sorry. I wish I could send wine. Hopefully the rest of it passes quickly.

We had DH's family reunion this morning. I thoroughly enjoyed his cousins bossing him around and making him help with everything. We've been relaxing and watching football since we got home. I feel extra tired and grumpy today and a bunch of his relatives asked if I was ok. Umm, not really, the last week has been so hard and stressful and I feel like I can't think straight. I'm hoping for an early bedtime and relaxing day tomorrow.

Thanks! My cousin is delivering me wine shortly, there are a few good ones in my family, haha!

Today we hung out at home and cleaned for our game party tomorrow and went shopping at Target and the grocery store. Then has dinner and I went to the craft store with my BFF and we got a margarita afterward. Now I am up far too late because I wanted to finish a craft project. tomorrow we're cooking all the things for our game night. Food theme is Mexican, so we're making Slow cooler Mojo pork and grilled Carne Asada tacos and magic Chocoflan cake. And Margaritas. Monday we are doing absolutely nothing, which I am very much looking forward to.

Yesterday we spent almost all day cleaning out our shed, which I've been wanting to get around to for months. It's not completely done, but it's a lot better than it was. For lunch we walked to the goat farm next door and had goat cheese pizza, so good! Today is supposed to be rainy, so we will do errands and probably some shopping. Tomorrow I am hoping to do something fun/relaxing, though I don't know what yet.

My mom is visiting for an extended weekend and it's been interesting. She's walking around the kitchen in her underwear now.

DH and I are going to go get a fridge from a friend who's remodeling and then have a day date while my mom watches the girls.

Tomorrow we might have another day date or we might hang out as a group. My mom's brother will be driving over to visit as well.

We are having a heat wave here. Friday and Saturday it got up to 108. We have no a/c! We hid out downstairs yesterday, where it was slightly cooler, and then went to the pool at 5 and stayed until dark. Then we all slept downstairs in the family room because upstairs was an oven.

Today it's only supposed to be 86, so we may leave the house.

[ovenrack]

We're having an at-home weekend.

Yesterday some friends came over for dinner, today we're home and inside since it's rainy.

I'm going out with friends for dinner!

Tomorrow I'll try to give A some kid-free time, and then we're grilling with my cousin and his family.

Having A home for a three day weekend is amazing. I get so much relief. I wish he didn't work Saturdays.

I'm already so much more replenished - even if he were working tomorrow. It's weird to imagine what it would be like if this were every weekend.

I have a lady coming later to look at my goats. When I mentioned this to DH he said "you're not selling all of them, are you?" Umm, yes DH, you told me we needed to get rid of all of them. He said "oh, well we should keep some! You should pick like 3 that you want to keep!" Thanks for telling me now, DH, after I've already sold the ones I wanted to keep.

We had company all day yesterday and today. They just left. Heading to my ILs for a BBQ in a bit. Tomorrow I plan to run in the morning to burn off all the extra calories I ate this weekend and will be lazy the rest of the day.

[rugger]

We went to a dog agility event today. I ran my pup and she was kind of a mess on the course, LOL, but she totally had fun

[charlotte]

I've been practically comatose all day. Need to figure out how to conjure up some energy.

[rugger]

We went to a local farm today, and the girls got to pet a speckled hen. The lady was asking the kids questions about the chicken, and R was all over the answers. Lol this girl loves her some chickens!

[nikkipal]

Is it tj that loves llamas and alpacas? We took a day trip to a town an hour away and went to their science center and this great pizza place after. It was a very fun day.

[mapleme]

I randomly woke up with a black eye this morning. It doesn't hurt, there is no swelling and Dr Google tells me that it's NBD. I can't think of what caused it, but DH and I did have particularly raucous sex last night, so I'm choosing to believe that it was so amazing that I popped a blood vessel.

Party was a success! It was fun and pretty chill overall, we ended the night with a rowdy game of Catchphrase. Yesterday we chilled most of the day and J and I actually played another round of Ticket to Ride on the porch while Nugget took her afternoon nap. Then we went to the big community park and walked around the (small) lake and took Nugget to the park to play. The weather was gorgeous, finally, and it was nice to get outside and move.

I find my ticker to be a very useful reminder of my kids' ages.

Same, and I only have one kid. I thought she was 22 months for like 3 days and then saw my ticker and realized I'd missed a month.
