How was your weekend?

In an effort to revive the board, how was everyone's weekend? I know it's not over yet but I have the Monday sads. Why can't weekends be longer?!

Friday we ended up having dinner with my parents and then I went to see my gram at the hospital. She went to a nursing home Saturday and she's upset about it so I'm glad I got to see her when I did in better spirits.

Yesterday we went for lunch and did a little shopping. It was so nice to get out!

Today we had church and all of our family came to hear DH deliver the sermon. We had lunch afterwards.

  • Excuse my whiney-ness in advance.

    Friday night was pizza night and was probably the highlight of my weekend

    Yesterday I woke up with an upset stomach and puppy was super needy (read I was tired and easily annoyed) all day and running errands was super hot and semi-disappointing (trying to find some maternity clothes and spend $10 Carter's rewards on something other than white onesies since we don't know the gender = fail). Also DH was at work from 10p Friday to 6p Saturday and then came home and passed out on the couch which meant I couldn't clean the kitchen and had to practically attach myself to the puppy so she didn't bug him. I don't know why he thought the couch was a better idea than the bed for his 3 hour nap before going back to work at 10p until noon today.

    Today puppy slept in which was wonderful but I've had one of those nauseous days where I'm hungry but have zero idea what I want so I've been eating garbage and feeling worse. I also have zero motivation to work overtime on the couch but know we need the extra money.

    So overall, I'm whiny. It wasn't a horrible weekend, just uneventful and unmotivated.

    @Uptowngirl2009‌ - Sorry to hear about your grandma. Hopefully she's able to progress and come home soon (obvi don't kbow the situation but I hope that's an option for her.).

    @Apollo11235‌ - Congrats, again!
  • @simsk3887‌ I'm sorry your weekend didn't go well.

    As for my gram, it may be an option for her to go home but I don't see it happening. My mom is the only one of five siblings that has been taking care of her at home and trying to keep her at home and she just can't keep doing it. So we will see what happens.

    @simsk3887‌ what does your H do? Those are some crazy hours!

    I spent Thursday - today in DC for a college friend's wedding. It was an absolutely amazing weekend, and tomorrow is going to be rough. I absolutely loves spending four days in a row with B. And my H. It was our first vacation since our honeymoon three years ago and the first consecutive four days that we've had off as a family since H's paternity leave.

    Ben had so much fun at the wedding and totally passed out the second we put him in the car.

    Ftr, this is Ben passed out on the hotel bed, not the car, lol.

  • @MRads‌ - He's a police officer. His force is short handed so there are lots of overtime shifts and he is having a hard time saying no. He wants to make sure we are ok financially in March when LO is due. So glad you had an awesome time and got to spend time as a family!

    @Uptowngirl2009‌ - Sounds like a rough situation but hopefully you can al least get her somewhat happy with where she is. My grandmother absolutely refused moving in with anyone or going to assisted living until her final days. She wasn't in need of constant care but when things went downhill for her, it was only a matter of days. It was extremely hard at the time, but looking back I realize that she got exactly what she wanted in terms of living situation which made her happy. Grandparents and their living situations always seems to get sticky :( I hope it goes as well as it can.
  • This weekend wasn't too shabby.

    Friday night we went to H's grandpa's for pizza, cake, and card games for FIL's birthday.

    Saturday I went to some garage sales and got some great buys for baby.  Then picked up our race packets for the half marathon, and carb loaded with the family.

    Sunday was the half marathon, which didn't go as bad as I expected.  Of course I'm very sore today and could use a major massage and some time in the hot tub.  Other than that, I did some painting in the nursery, and we hung out with family again last night.

  • Hugs to those who need them. Mine weekend was okay. DH ended up working late Friday night and in the middle if the day on Sat and Sunday. I was basically a single mom all weekend and mostly did chores. I love this age (6 months) so we managed to have lots of fun but I miss DH.

  • @uptowngirl2009 - Sorry about your Grandma, mine reacted the same way when she went into a nursing home.
    @simsk3887 - I hope you are feeling better!

    Our weekend was amazing! We had one of my friends weddings on Saturday and it was a HUGEE college reunion. It was amazing!

    Sunday consisted mainly of driving home and then errands.

  • Our weekend was pretty uneventful, besides a funeral we attended on saturday for DH best friends mom. The weather has been very gloomy so it's been great for staying cozy inside with DD while DH is busy.
  • I had a pretty decent weekend. nothing amazeballs but not bad. I love spending time with my sweet boy on the weekends:)
  • Thanks, @Sewilson33‌. Other than waking up with a migraine (which seems to be every day anymore), today is a bit better. DH is on a regular schedule again this week (I think) so we should finally get some weekend recovery time together.
