What's everyone up to the Easter weekend?
my read shelf:
Re: Happy Good Friday
Saturday - celebrating Lilly's birthday at build a bear and Chuck-e-cheese.
Sunday - ex wants the kids a few hours to celebrate Lilly's bday (it's not until next week... No reason to use our time!). Grilling out for dinner.
Monday - heading back.
Tonight I have to pick up my new little man on campus from the airport. I have a new breeding buck coming in from California. I'm really excited about him and I can't wait to introduce him to all of his girlfriends at the farm! Speaking of the farm there are pens that need to be pitched. I'm not allowed to do anything strenuous so that includes pitching poop! I'm pretty happy about that!
Saturday is my one of my niece's birthday parties. She's seven. Not sure what we'll do after.
Sunday, we have Easter dinner at my parent's house.
ETA I totally forgot that Easter was on Sunday. Lately I can't keep anything straight in my head and am super forgetful. I found a measuring cup in the fridge. I know I put it there, but come on brain!
Tonight - making pizza and catching up on the DVR with H. I feel like I haven't really seen him all week. He worked extra shifts on Tuesday and Thursday and I had a work dinner I had to attend on Wednesday.
Tomorrow - we have a few errands to run and then keep working on things around the house - we need to do some spring cleaning and H needs to do some work in the yard - our HOA sent us a letter about getting our front lawn in order - oops!
Sunday - Easter breakfast at church then church service then brunch with the church folks. Then home to relax for the rest of the day.
Sat- H's family is coming over for "Easter", a little back story: in Dec his cousin and her boyfriend bought a house and told everyone they would be hosting Easter so when my mom asked me if we were going to her house I had to decline, fast forward a couple weeks ago, they couldnt host anymore because they have a wedding the night before so it was going to be moved to her mom's (H's aunt's house) or maybe MIL's house(which i really didnt want either, her house isnt clean, i wouldnt be able to put the baby on the floor, and there is no where for her to nap, the house is NOT baby friendly), then last weekend it got moved to a restaurant. I flipped, I am not spending DD's first Easter in a restaurant and I dont care if she wont remember it, she doesn't sit still, its a 2 hour drive, which we would have done if we were going to see H's cousin's new house but not to have her go from sitting in the car to sitting in a high chair, it would just stress me out bc I am not the type of person to burden others with taking care of my child so H and i would have to take turns holding her when her attention span in the high chair ran out. And now that i had two teeth pulled instead of one i cant even chew. So some how it got put on me to host a pre-Easter meal at our house so H's family could see the baby since SIL will be up from MD, im just super annoyed and wish we would have just said yes to my mom in the first place and avoided all of this. Sorry this turned into more of a vent than anything, i just hate people who dont plan, im a planner, and with a baby i plan even more, everything gets done around a feeding/nap schedule.
Sun- We are going to my parents for Easter. Its less stressful going there, she has two cribs, toys, its CLEAN!!! etc that i dont have to pack half the house.
Tomorrow, yoga in the morning, then maybe Lord & Taylor for friends and family. A coworker likes the bag I use for work, but doesn't drive, and gave me money to buy it for her. I have an excuse to shop:)
Sunday, Mass for Easter, then dinner with my parents and grandmother. Apparently my brother is working and SIL and the kids are with her family. They'll be missed but we see each other regularly.
Today, we went back to our hometown. Since it's been getting nicer, we're starting to get a few spiders and things. (Downfall of living near woods/trees) We sprayed our basement and took the pets with us to get out for the day.
I stopped at the local record store for Record Store Day and picked up a few things. We visited both sets of parents for a bit. Still up in the air as to what's going on today.
Tomorrow, we're baking rolls and visiting both sets of parents for the day. I'm waiting right now to see if my youngest sister wants to come visit as well. That's a whole other complicated story though.
