Has this week seemed extraordinarily long to anyone else?
What's everyone up to this weekend?

Re: Finally Friday
L is still recovering from pneumonia so I'll try to keep the boys out of the house as much as possible to let her rest.
Tonight - I think a friend and I are taking our kids to the pool. We'd planned on doing it last night, but it started thundering the minute I got home. We'll try again tonight (the kids were really dissapointed.)
Saturday - I need to go to the DMV to get my license renewed and then to the car repair shop to get my brake light repaired and the mechanic to sign off on my citation (I got pulled over for my brake light being out.) Hopefully, those things won't be too painful with 2 preschoolers in tow - and hopefully, by the time it is done, it won't be too hot so they can run around at the playgroud. I will need them to run off energy! No clue what we'll do post-nap. Pool? Dinner? Sprayground?
Sunday - We told Carter that I would take him to the beach, so I might take them to a small beach in the morning before it gets too hot. In the afternoon, I need to come into work and do a short/informal presentation. If L still isn't feeling well, I will just bring the kids and their video iPods to watch while I talk for an hour.
This week was definitely long! Although coming back from vacay, I was wishing for Friday on Monday morning... so that didn't help, I'm sure.
Tonight is all about being lazy... no plans.
Tomorrow I'm heading up to my parents for a hair appointment. Trav and Daisy will probably be joining me... and we're going to spill the beans to my parents. Should be fun.
Sunday - SLEEPING IN! Oh boy am I excited for that. I'm also supposed to go walking with a friend, but they are predicting thunderstorms, so we'll see what happens. Otherwise, just taking care of some chores.

What a long and emotional week!
Tonight we don't have any plans. A friend just invited us to a movie so perhaps we'll do that.
Saturday and Sunday - we have plenty of projects to keep us busy and keep our mind off Monday's beta.
I think we will spend some time with family this weekend. We all could use the extra TLC this week.
We wanted to have date night but we can't leave LMC right now. If we go it will have to be while she is asleep.
I have some projects around the house to work on too.
That is wonderful news!!!

Good news on the Ella front.
Tonight my coworker is throwing a big party, so we're headed to that. Saturday and Sunday we have appointment to look at house/apartment rentals all day. Depending on how successful our search is, we'll either crawl home depressed and hibernate or go out with friends.
This weekend is my birthday celebrating weekend
We are doing our guest room makeover and then going out to one of my favorite restaurants. Perhaps a movie if we have time.
On Sunday, lunch with my stepmom, dad and sister, then C, my sister and I are going to see Rent with Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal from the original cast! We've seen Rent so many times, but we couldn't pass up Anthony and Adam!

Glad to hear Ella is doing so well.
I don't know what the plan is for tomorrow. I think just working on the house since all the fairs and festivals I want to go to are NEXT weekend when Scoop is working.
We are Annie-less on Saturday night so I think we are doing dinner and a movie. If anyone has good movie suggestions let me know. Sunday I am going to be sleeping as much as possible since I go back to work Sunday night. Maternity leave is wayyy to short.

Plans for the weekend, unfortunately (you all could all probably guess it) dissertation. I hope I don't bother C too much, it has been an exhausting week for her and she needs her rest. Sadly , during my breaks I like to pounce on the bed like a like a big pup (figuratively) saying "pay attention to me, pay attention to me." However, I do think now I will be able to control those desires and just sneak in the room and watch her sleep for a bit...something I love to do.
I hope you ALL have a great weekend!
SSG, I'm so glad to hear that Ella's growing and is transferring nurseries!
Today I had a real estate agent come and check out our condo. She'll be back tomorrow morning with a market analysis. Depending on her info, we're going to get pre-approval and finish getting our place ready to go on the market asap. Average selling time for condos in our area is 4 months. We're hoping to price it competitively so that we can sell sooner and move around the same time as ttc/before the end of the year.
This week my sisters down staying with us so we're going to do some fun, touristy, outdoor (the weather is amazing right now!) stuff here in Seattle. Maybe the underground tour, maybe Pike Place, who knows, but I'm sure it will be fun.
I'm also on call for two clients, so that could make the weekend interesting!
