Re: Weekend Plans
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.

I plan to remember wistfully the days I was able to breathe through my nose.
And maybe going to buy a MacBook. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
The unfun: updating Jenny's vaccines, life insurance physicals, and going to BabiesRUs to use some coupons and buy a crap-ton of stuff.
The fun: Some college friends are in town, so we'll probably go out at least once.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LOOK AT YOU AND YOUR FANCYPANTS.
Have you tried Mucinex? Afrin spray works really well if you use it very sparingly. It drastically cut down on my flu stuffiness.

I think I'm allergic to Mucinex. I tried it once and started wheezing and having trouble breathing, so I never took another. But the animated phlem commercials really warm my heart.
I am feeding my kid this weekend. And having visitors of all sorts of grandparents. we've had people over pretty much every single day since I had Jack and it's been a little exhausting.
OH, in Ma news, her dog (that bit me really badly 2 years ago) bit her cleaning lady Tues and she might need to put it down. It's bitten 5 people now, including her.
Tonight I might go to a bonfire. DH was supposed to go out with the guys but they canceled. I know he doesn't want to go to the bonfire with me and I sure don't want to miss it so we'll see if he ends up coming or not.
Tomorrow I work during the day and was supposed to go to a Halloween party. The part is an hour away with people I don't really know well. I was excited before I found out about the baby but now I can't drink and i'm not good in social situations with people I don't know without a bit of booze. I might skip it and go to a going away party for a friend whose moving to FL for the Airforce. At least then I can go home and be in bed by 11 which is my maximum these days.
Sunday is Bengals and probably a pumpkin patch.
I know what we are not doing: house hunting. We've seen every house in our price range and within 200k of it either way, so there's literally nothing left to see.
Tomorrow, we're hanging out with some friends at their house and will probably just bbq.
Sunday, I'm determined to buy a pair of skinny jeans. I have a gift card to bloomingdale's burning a hole in my pocket and figure that's as good a purchase as any.
WTF, I hate you. I want a Mac book.
I'm at that stage where I'm still clogged up but slightly over the hump, but giant wads of bloody infected crap are being dislodged and dropping into my throat at unexpected times. GROSS.

1) I get professional development monies every fall from work and I was going to buy a netbook, then I decided on a 13" laptop, then figured "why not go balls out and get the MacBook?" I'm not 100% sure I want to spend the extra money, buuuuut...I probably will.
2) I sucked it up and went to Minute Clinic this afternoon and it turns out I have a sinus infection! So I get drugs! And she even gave me tessalon perles for the inevitable post-nasal drip cough!

Let me know how potty training goes, Kristen. We let Will use his potty when he brings it up, and if he does it successfully he gets a piece of chocolate, but he only asks to go once every few days. And yesterday after his bath he ran into the kitchen and peed on the floor. Soooo....yeah. I know he's not even 2.5 yet, but I fear falling behind. My niece wasn't potty trained until she was almost four and I don't want that to be Will.
We're meeting a friend for dinner, then Lorne is going back to the lab to work late. If he doesn't finish revising this paper tonight I'm going to die. I love my children dearly but I've been taking care of them on my own most of the week, and oh my god, I need a break. When I think about how my mom had to deal with her kids with virtually no help it puts me in awe of her. Anyway. If he finishes revising the paper I'm going to send him with the kids off to the zoo or something and I'm going to sleep in tomorrow, and go to shopping alone and get stuff for the kids' Halloween costumes. The rest of the weekend is unplanned, but I need to do a lot of sewing. My first holiday show is in less than a month.
