Last Week of Summer
Good Morning Pretty Ladies! I know technically it's not the last week but it is in my book. Summer is from Memorial Day to Labor Day. I can't believe it's already over. SIL and me were discussing Thanksgiving and Christmas plans. Yuck! Anyhoo, how was everyone's weekend?
Ours was good. The concert was amazing! Zac Brown Band is very talented and I would go see them again. Getting out of the parking lot took over an hour so that part blew. I got to see my parents which is always nice. We will see them the next three weekends to since we have family stuff this weekend and we are flying out of buffalo when we go to Portland.

Re: Last Week of Summer
It seems everywhere around here thinks summer ends at labor day. All the pools close no matter how hot it is. It's kind of weird to me being from Texas.
I am glad you enjoyed the concert. I love ZBB and I have a cousin who has cowritten a song for them (sweet Annie) so it is extra neat.
We are driving through Buffalo on Saturday degrea. Obviously made me think of you. We were going to stay there sat night but I think we are driving to Toronto after all.
We had a pretty good weekend. What we saw of Cleveland was fun but that is definitely not our favorite park. Both the stadium itself and the fans left something to be desired. I need a day at home so bad. I told DH that the first weekend of Sept best be left completely open or his wife might go crazy.
Sweet Annie is one of my favorite songs. That's so cool!
I know what you mean about a weeks at home. Though that's not happening till sept. 20. My house will be a wreck by than so I will spend the whole weekend cleaning and doing laundry, boo. Being an adult sucks!
Yep we are going to Toronto to catch a game and definitely stopping at Niagra on the way. I wish we would have more time there but it is what it is. I will keep the wings in mind. We have thought about stopping in for some I am just not sure about timing anymore.
I here ya about cleaning. That is probably how that weekend is going to be for me too. One reason I asked for the whole weekend open so I get at least some reading/ sewing /sanity time.
my read shelf:
I've missed so much!
Niagara Falls is beautiful. I hear our side is best.
Also I am like 2 hours from Toronto! Boo
I must get caught up on the happenings around here...
Have fun at the game Aggie. Go away team! Drive safe! O and plan some extra time to cross the boarder as it is a holiday weekend in both countries.
Welcome back Echo! Hope you vacation was relaxing!
Glad class got out early so you got some down time.
my read shelf:
How are you feeling Aggie? Pregnancy treating you well?
I got nothing today. Work, Macys, dinner, home, laundry and cooking. Hopefully TV time somewhere in there. Hope you ladies have a lovely day!
My crazy husband almost got himself in deep doo doo and is working hard to recover. At this point it is kind of amusing.
Our house is a disaster. So dh calls on his way to work (as I am walking out the door) to inform me we may have a guest tonight. Ummm what? Turns out it is his brother who is in college (thank goodness otherwise Colin would be taking vacation today to clean our house) who is flying in today to go to the game with him tomorrow and flying out at 6:45 am on Saturday... The day we leave for Toronto.
I keep getting update texts from DH on what he plans to do so none of it is my problem. It's kind of funny... Now.
Vacation was good once we got there. DS2 decided to grow 4 teeth on the 4 day drive down so he screamed a lot of it.That was rough. We have a lot of family we were visiting which was great. My moms mom is from PEI. She didnt come with us as she couldnt make the trip. She has alzheimers which has been hard on my mom. Seeing my grandmas sisters who are totally with it was hard for my mom. Reminded all of us of the Grandma we had. What a hard disease.
My bil and sil actually live in toronto too and my other bil is going ot visit them this weekend. I wouldnt be surprised if the were at the game. Being up here in Canada feels lonely. I need more irl friends! With kids too.....its hard.
my read shelf:
We went to visit my grandma on our way home from vacation and when we first arrived she knew dominics name. I tried very hard to use his full name the whole time (as opposed to his numerous nicknames - domo, domino, dominicky) and when we were about to leave she was like i forget this ones name. Its so sad. We think my grandmas one sister (who my mom and cousin are the power of attorney for) is in the early stages of alzheimers now too. So my mom has to have that conversation with her.
Pray for my family?!
my read shelf:
It always amazing me to how families can be completely destroyed over things like this. Or deaths/wills, what to do with grandmas red lamp, etc. I have watched my H family and even mine struggle with this. I hope that when it's my turn to deal with this type stuff that me and my sister manage to do it with out killing each other and that we are still friends after it. Makes us stronger instead of tearing you apart.
Okay off soap box. You ladies have a great day. Tomorrow is Friday and the start of a long but exhausting weekend. Two concerts (Lady A and Jason Aldean), two fairs (NYS and my home town), three cities (Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse) and partridge in a pear tree. Hahaha! I told myself next summer will be less busy. Lol! O and my sister is going dress hunting this weekend so I might have opitions to look at Tuesday. Exciting!
I think our only plan is dinner/drinks with friends Sunday night. We might possibly go to a splash pad with other friends one day too.
my read shelf:
These kids are something else today! I told dh to pick up wine on his way home from work! I really need it!
But in my exciting world ds1 went all day yesterday with no accidents - a whole day going on the toilet! Yeah!!!! Im excited!! I am enjoying doing less cloth diaper laundry!!
Echo your family is in my prayers. Dementia is so incredibly difficult to deal with emotionally and physically. Not to mention everything else your extended family is throwing at you.
Good luck Jlq! I totally double up on period days especially the first day. Tampon and pad that way I have a warning before it's a mess.
So no trip for us this weekend after all. I broke down on the phone with dh this morning. I am just spent. I have been running for weeks without any down time and for an introvert like me that just doesn't work. I woke up ready to cry because I had to go to work. Ugh I hate that. But staying home is such a relief. I would have fun this weekend but next week I would cry every day I know it. And today I am Dr death 7 euthanasias in 36hrs :-( my emotions can't handle this.
