Re: Weekend plans?
Tonight - I have no idea. I am just thrilled that I'll be going home to a CLEAN house. After discussing it for years, we've finally made the leap to a cleaning service. With 2 FT jobs, 2 kids, 2 ridiculous commutes, and 1 looming dissertation, we bit the bullet and hired someone to come bi-weekly. I can't tell you have excited I am. Maybe we'll take the kids out for dinner - or maybe we'll stay home and play Wii since it is going to be raining.
Saturday - L has a chiropratic appt in the morning. I thought about taking the kid to the airport to play in the observation deck since it is supposed to rain all day. In the afternoon we are picking up our friends son and bringing him to our house to play and when his mom gets off work, she is coming to watch all 3 kids while L and I go out for a nice dinner.
Sunday - a dad from Rainbow Families is coming over with is 3.5y daughter for a playdate. Hopefully the kids can play outside as well as in the playroom. After nap, we'll probably need to run a few errands and get ready for another week.
Tonight my only plan is to sleep. I think I'm starting to get sick and that's the last thing I want to happen right now.
Saturday - We desperately need to do a Sam's Club run so I'm sure that will be done. The house needs a quick cleaning and if it's nice I'd like to get the dogs out to play somewhere. I'm also going to meet up with Abba916 and her adorable son for an afternoon coffee.
Sunday - Pregnancy Massage! And then whatever I didn't get done on Saturday. Installing the car seats, putting together the PnP, finishing the closet markers for the nursery, etc.
Tonight is A's "night off" so I'll be flying solo with the kids. I'm praying it goes okay...Sprout's behavior has been awful since the missed visit on monday. And he's decided that Mommy E is going to get the brunt of his dissapointment/saddness/loss of control over his world. good times.
Saturday/Sunday: trying to keep Sprout occupied and tantrum free.
Is it Monday yet?

We have a visit today after which we hope to go to the duck park. Distracting LMC after seems to help.
Saturday DW has to work in the morning but hopefully we will get out of the house a bit, park, errands, anything!
Sunday-We need to clean out our storage area. We have an absurd amount of baby stuff and randomness that needs to go. We'll see if this actually happens, LOL! We are going to try to get to the farmers market as well.
CT- I hope Sprout settles down. I know he must be hurting but it doesn't help when everyone has to suffer along with him. Big hugs to you. Call if you need to vent :-)
Moving! We are both off today - spending the day packing - and off on Monday as well to try to give ourselves some time to get situated.
Movers come tomorrow afternoon, and it might rain all day....cross your fingers for sunshine!!

2brides, I am so jealous of your cleaning service.
Tonight we're going our dinner to celebrate me not strangling anyone at work. Tomorrow some workers are coming to sand and paint the newly plastered giant hole in my kitchen ceiling.
For the rest of the weekend I'm looking forward to some serious relaxing, perusing seed catalogs and baking yummy treats.
