Happy Friday!

This week has seemed exceptionally long for me. Partly because the way my schedule worked out, this is only my second five day week since June. I felt every day of it too.

I can't wait til the end of the day. I'm hoping and praying for an early dismissal, but who knows if that will happen. A girl can dream?

Anyone have fun weekend plans?

We're doing a last hurrah at the lake with my parents before the school year and lots of weekend activities keep us home for most of the fall :D

Re: Happy Friday!

  • we just got our "early dismissal" email. And I am taking Tuesday off as well for EJ's first day of school.  So I have been looking forward to friday all week.  Not much on the agenda either- so it will be nice to relax a bit and enjoy the pool while we still can. It won't be long before it is closed for the winter!
    My big exciting plan is to go buy some paint to paint the front windows before it gets too cold.  The ones on the front of the house really need to be scraped and repainted. shouldn't be an especially fun task, but it will make me feel better having it done.
  • I wondered how many of us would be here today. I think our schedules must be pretty much on the same track as I think this is only the 2nd full 5 day week since June! DH was gone all week.... so we were up early. I do only work 7 hours today (our fridays on are always 7 hrs) and hope we might get let go early. Also think I am dreaming...... but I got here at 7 so I can go at 2. Dare I run to the new Field and Stream store to look for DHs birthday gift?

    We are headed to camp for the weekend also. Gymnastics starts tomorrow then we will get on the road. Fun fun. Still can't believe we are to Labor day weekend!! Enjoy everyone.

  • I'm here today, blah!

    Tonight: Jake needs new sneakers (of course he decided to tell me this on the very first day of school, sure enough, his are getting tight!)  so off to the mall we go, and we'll grab dinner while we're out.

    Sat: I'm running in the steelers 5k in the morning, the boys are doing the field dash right after.  we have a bday party late afternoon.

    Sun/Mon: no specific plans!  we'll probably clean up some outside stuff (some flowers need to be cut back, weeds are out of control, mow, etc) and I need to do a big walmart trip, it's been over a month since I've done any type of real grocery shopping.  Other than that, we'll just hang out!  Maybe a trip to the children's museum if it's going to be rainy one day.

  • I am hoping for an early dismissal, too!

    Tonight my brother is coming to pick up a piece of furniture we're giving him for his new apartment and I think after dinner we're going over to my parents for some evening/night swimming.  

    Tomorrow- going to Idlewild

    Sunday/Monday - no specific plans.  Probably more swimming at my parents as long as it's not an all day rain and we're going to take the kids to see Planes at some point, too.  I need to do some cleaning/organizing.  And I want to try to plan a couple of crock pot meals - soccer started and we have practices Mon/Thurs (for Noah) and Wed (for Brody).  Then, they each will have a game on Saturdays.  
  • TGIF!

    We've been hit with the daycare stomach bug - Conall went down yesterday with it and today Sean woke up and I've cleaned 3 bad diapers in an hour. I'm just hoping he doesn't start throwing up, too. Not bad - it only took 3 weeks in daycare before it happened. *sigh*

    We're just laying low tonight - if the neighborhood pool is open tonight, I'll take the older two for a swim.

    If everyone is feeling better tomorrow, we're supposed to take a drive down to Galveston to see the beach and do the Boardwalk and other touristy things for the day.

    Sunday and Monday will just be pool time and maybe playing with the 4-yr old twin boys next door. The boys just got to meet them last night, and I met Mom, so it will be fun if they can all get together. (and I have to say it's fun watching them meet each other - Conall kept calling them "kid" and Gavin had no idea how to refer to them. I had to teach them to introduce themselves to gthe others - but these boys are identical - I'm not sure how to tell them apart!)

    Have fun everyone!

  • Tonight-I am going to the grocery store on the way home then I think we are going to go to the Ukrainian Food Festival in McKees Rocks since Nathan missed the one in Carnegie last week.

    Saturday-I am working a wedding all day.

    Sunday/Monday- Have to finish cleaning out the old house, Nathan has brought everything downstairs. They are drywalling the kitchen, so the goal is to have it on the market in the next two weeks. I also desperately need a pedicure.

  • Clare, I don't mean to be a jerk, but please don't take your kids to the pool with the stomach bug. (or just getting over the stomach bug) at least for today.   Chlorine doesn't kill everything.   Your neighborhood will thank you.

  • Tonight - Probably just play outside, possibly order dinner out.

    Saturday - hopefully swimming or splash park during the day, surprise 40th for my cousin at 4:00

    Sunday - I think Gary is golfing so possibly heading to my parents house to spend the day and swim.

    Monday- Not real sure, possibly more swimming. If it rains, maybe take the kids to see Turbo?

    Oh I know - Conall seems to have it out of his system today, but if not he's definitely not going! Gavin has remained untouched, however. (Sean has the runs, but I'm not taking him, regardless!)
