TGIF!

Our Abby Jean
Re: TGIF!
I'm getting ready to get Abby to Day Care and then I really have nothing planned. I was going to sew up a storm, which I may still do, but I might sneak to Target and browse with a cup of coffee. ahhhh, heaven.
It's a boys weekend at camp so I'm planning on some major Abby and MiMi time. We're going to Abby's swim lessons and then rushing like a mad woman to Make Thyme for our 9:30 appt. We're celebrating "no boys allowed weekend" with Lobsters for dinner on Saturday.
Probably some cleaning and more sewing :-)
I am so glad it is Friday. I don't think I can take another day of work this week.
Your weekend sounds fun.
Not to much planned here. Tomorrow morning I am going to my Zumba class, then I need to do a little shopping for a 3 yr olds birthday party. I will admit I am excited because I get to buy girly stuff for a change. I am probably going to invite a couple of friends over tomorrow night to play some cards or somtheing.
Sunday, church, birthday party and laundry. Nothing to exciting.
Today is Abe's first full day at school. I have to give exams so I have to be here ALL day. He frowned when I told him he would be there all day.
Tonight: Snuggling with Abe.
Tomorrow: Snuggling with Abe. Groceries.
Sunday: Visiting with Grampy and Grammy!
Tonight - figuring out groceries and what we need to bring to my aunt's this weekend. Watch some tv or read, drink some wine.
Tomorrow - re-caulk the bathroom tub. Then head to my aunt's to housesit for the rest of the weekend. They have an old house and don't like to leave it in the winter. We won't want to use our bathroom for 24 hours. So our timing is perfect! Read, bake, work out, and do some work.
My main goal for this weekend is to not try and give away the pups to any taker(just kidding) they have become very comfortable with us and now feel they don't have to maintain their house training which is making me nuts!
I love this!!!
Tonight: Book club!
Tomorrow: Make Thyme for Dinner in the morning to use my Living Social coupon. I am excited to not have to think about meals for a little while! Nothing planned for the afternoon or evening. DH is reffing hockey so I will most likely catch up on some Tivo like I do every weekend.
Sunday: Groceries in the morning. Nothing planned for the afternoon but we will head to my sister's for dinner.
Miss Ridley has actively started potty training so I am also anticipating a lot of potty time this weekend. They started her at daycare and she seems to be ready so we are going along with it. I SO WAS NOT ready though. I thought I would have more "baby" time.
After Helen's nap this afternoon I'm taking her up to the ILs in Freeport where she'll spend the night (so I can go to Making Thyme for Dinner tomorrow; DH is working Saturday). After I drop her off, I think I'm going to the mall to try to spend some holiday gift cards and get my favorite sweet potato rolls from the sushi hut. I told DH he's on his own for dinner tonight.
Saturday, Making Thyme for Dinner in the morning and then ??? Maybe try to do some organizing around the house while DH and DD are gone. The ILs will be dropping DD off around dinner time.
Sunday - no plans yet other than church in the morning. Probably just lounge around the house.
And in other news, DH has a firm date to start his new job: February 28. Only one month to go!
AWESOME!
TGIF! I can't take another day of work this week either.
Tonight: Eli's swimming lessons, then a low key evening at home.
Tomorrow: Eli's gymnastics class if it isn't canceled (they cancel for 1 flake of snow), then dropping him off at my parents house so I can go for a run. Hanging at home the rest of the day, then going to see a band at night with one of my friends.
Sunday: Not sure- maybe getting together with a friend or just hanging at home.
Not many weekends left for us as a family of 3!!!
Today: Starting a 5 week (cutting it close to due date) music class with Peter, then lunch with his girlfriend and my friend
Walmart trip, yes that is exciting for me!
Tonight: Dinner with friends.
Tomorrow: 2 of my besties from college are coming from NH to visit!!! They were both art majors so they are going to paint a mural down in the daycare.
Sunday: Getting Peter's big boy room ready! Going to pick up his new bed.
This week has been one giant turd sandwich at work, so I am eagerly counting down the minutes to 5!
Tonight: Haircut with my favorite stylist Megan downtown (yay me time!), then back home for a little movie watching, dinner and drinking club soda in a wine glass- it makes me feel like I'm having a Friday night cocktail.
Tomorrow: Prenatal yoga in the morning, and then a HUGE exudos to the laundromat to do about a million loads of laundry. I'm actually looking forward to it, since our laundromat it pretty nice and has wifi & couches, so I can hang out and relax while getting it all done. Probably a quiet night.
Sunday: A little cleaning around the house, possibly brunch/lunch with a friend and I might take in True Grit in the afternoon. What am I supposed to do on Sundays without FOOTBALL??? Sigh...
Happy Friday!

No plans for tonight! Maybe takeout or grabbing a quick meal some place.
Saturday- BodyPump and then I'm supposed to have a pasta-making date with my friend (I haven't heard from her so assuming she's still a yes for that).
Sunday- going to a funeral for my family friend's mother and hopefully letting the dog run on the beach
Woohoo!!!!
Today - Last day with my mom up here
We've had a few little spats since she's been living with us but I'm going to be so sad to see her go and Caroline is going to miss her. She loves waiting for her to wake up in the morning 
Tomorrow - Mom leaves at 9am and we have a play group at 11 so hoping I can keep it together.
Sunday - who knows. IL's are on a cruise, mom has moved so it's just DH, Caroline and myself.
YAY! It must feel fantastic to have a date for the new job set!
YAHOOOOO!!!!!
Today: Holing up in the house with Owen and waiting for the drugs to kick in. We ventured out briefly yesterday so that I could go to the doctor's and the walk made me feel worse, so I think we'll be indoor folk today. Doing some cleaning, laundry, playing with the boy.
Tonight: sleep.
Tomorrow: my parents' are in town, but they're staying with my sister this time. They're headed to the new MFA wing in the morning, so we'll take care of errands then -- Costco, BRU, and Jordan's for Owen's new mattress. Hanging out with my folks in the afternoon, then leaving Owen with them at night so MH and I can go on a date. Owen may even sleep over so that we can sleep!
Sunday: no plans. probably breakfast with my folks, maybe some more baby organization/cleaning.
Happy Fridayyyy!
Tonight: grocery store, gym, and cleaning my house!
Tomorrow: no clue yet, most likely sleeping in a bit, and a friend may be in town from NH to visit
Sunday: hopefully moving a dresser into my apartment, I've lived there since Sept. with no dresser ... yeah time to borrow my dad's truck and get that bad boy moved in!
I second this! My H has been looking for a while now...it must be a nice relief
And also, here we are again and Friday is my second day of work this week...and I'm working again Sunday...but I can't complain. Last night was my night out...H and I met a friend for dinner at Blue Spoon in Portland...it was amazing!
Tomorrow, I'm hoping to check out the Winter Farmer's Market for the first time...I'd love to do some roasted veggies on Sunday night - a friend is having us over for homemade meat pies, which I have never have...seemed like roasted veggies would be the right thing to have along side.
I also have to get moving on some belated birthday ice cream for H - his b'day was last Saturday, but we were celebrating my mom's birthday, so he kind of got lost in the shuffle. He's not a huge cake fan, so he always asks for something funny for his birthday dessert each year.
Wow, this has been the work week from hell which involved 2 seperate trips to the ER and sitting in an empty house in Lewiston until 9pm last night! I am sooooo happy it's Friday, and soooo happy I'm not on call!
Tonight is book club and I can eat whatever yummy goodies I want because my low-iodine diet is done! I'm not even going to try to be good this weekend, because I deserve some cheese and goodies. Tomorrow is Make Thyme for Dinner in the morning. My in-laws are taking Marcus for the morning and afternoon. Then we're going back to Portland in the evening to have dinner at Saporro's with friends. No plans for Sunday.
Did I miss something about Making Thyme? Seems to be in lots of people's plans
No idea what we are doing this weekend. DH wants to paint his guitar. I want to spend time with my little loves and get some exercise.
That's all
There was a living social deal for it a few days ago, there's a post a ways down about it. It was 8 meals for $50, so a bunch of us are going together tomorrow. If you're interested in going without the deal, you could probably still sign up.
YAHOO! That's so exciting! I wish that my DH could find anything that would mean less time on the road, but his qualifications for some things aren't there (like 5years experience in a given field even though he's qualified in every other way) or the move would mean a drastic pay cut. :-(
I'm a little late but that is ok!!
What a long long week it's been! 26.25 OT hours this pay period. Looking forward to next Friday's check but it's not spendable.
Tonight: went to Benton to pick up doggies. Four leggeds had haircuts today. My groomer said they hadn't been in since September. OOOPPS!! Taylor had a late nap so I grabbed some stuff at Walmart and met Chris for dinner at Red Robin......YUMMMMMM! Taylor is in bed now and I'm just enjoying some Mommy time
Tomorrow: either going to work while Taylor naps for more OT or sitting home and vegitating. If it is the latter, than I'll probably clean up a bit.
Sunday: definitely vegitating and getting ready for the next OT filled pay period.
