FRIDAY!!
Re: FRIDAY!!
Hooray!! I love the weekends!
Tonight: No plans. I might contact a girlfriend and see what she is up to.
Tomorrow: Seth has the day off. I think we might go to Freeport and stop in at Carters to get some 6mo (!!!!) stuff. And we will probably go out for lunch.
Sunday: I'm making cupcakes to send to school for Valentine's Day. I keep sending goodies and Seth said, "So you're one of THOSE moms." I said, "Did you expect anything different??"
Lots of snuggles and playtime with my Babe!
Today: work then meet MH for dinner and his school's annual follies.
Saturday & Sunday: a lot of me time! I don't have tons of things I need to do and don't think I'll need to work this weekend. I'm looking forward to it. :-)
Woohoo weekend!
Today - Finally a day where I have no appointments so just a normal play day with Caroline.
Tonight- no plans, DH may get home at a decent time, but essentially it's just another week night after a long week .
Tomorrow - errands, maybe a little visiting and then dinner for MIL's birthday.
Sunday - who knows, hopefully some chill time with DH and DD
DH is working all weekend, but I am looking forward to some downtime this to try to kick this cold/cough I have had all week.
Tonight: Eli's swimming lessons this evening, then hopefully a relaxing evening.
Tomorrow: Gymnastics in the morning, then not sure. I usually drop Eli off a my parents house after and go for a run, but I don't think that is happening in my currently state of health. Might drop him off and go do some errands though. Planning on making Valentines cookies with Eli in the afternoon. Maybe we'll go snowshoeing if I am feeling better
Sunday: Playdate with a coworker and her son in the morning, then no plans in the afternoon. Maybe getting together with a friend for a bit or grocery shopping or cookie making if those don't get done on Saturday. Hoping to attempt a run on the treadmill or a dvd at some point this weekend, but we will see!
TGIF.
DH has a job interview today at MMC for a RN position. Keeping fingers crossed. He takes his NCLEX next week.
DH will be studying most of the weekend, but MIL is coming over tomorrow evening for dinner, and Sunday we have a nephews birthday party. That's about it. I am hoping to get some naps in there too. The boys were up at 4:00 a.m. and refused to go back to sleep!
Yay Friday! I've been looking forward to this all week.
Tonight: going to the Sea Dog with the guy I'm talking to and maybe some other friends, a guy we know is playing, should be fun.
Tomorrow: lunch with my folks and a bunch of family friends
Sunday: possibly moving a dresser ... fun!
Tonight: DH is reffing so Ridley and I will have dinner together and hang out. Once I put her to bed, I think I will watch Juno on Tivo.
Saturday: DH is reffing again so Ridley and I will have a pretty chill day. I have some leftover Needham filling from last weekend's GTG so I think I will make some more Needham cups and maybe some cherry cordials to bring in to work on Monday. I also want to get our taxes done.
Sunday: We are celebrating Valentine's Day! We are heading to Portland for brunch at Bibo's Madd Apple Cafe followed by a trip to the Portland Public Market so that I can taste test a cupcake from Tulips Cupcakery at Kamasouptra. We may also make a trip to Trader Joe's.
Fridays are so much more exciting when you have a bad work week!
Tonight: Squeezing in a workout, some form of dinner and going through my wedding planning book. I loaned it out to my best friend two years ago (who was married this past August) and she finally just got it back to me yesterday. There's a lot of photos and things I haven't seen for a long time, so it'll be fun to do a little memory trip while enjoying a mocktail.
Saturday: Not much planned, pilates, cleaning & getting ready for DH to come home on Tuesday (hopefully!), it's been a long three weeks! Thinking about taking myself to a movie in the evening if I feel motivated.
Sunday: More cleaning and laundry, and I may try to get out for a walk if the sidewalks are manageable. If not, pilates and getting ready for the week.

Today - Just a normal day home with Bryce - although we are both still battling this cold that seems to be going around. Hopefully DH is home before 4pm today (he starts at midnight).
Tomorrow - DH works until the afternoon - but we will probably run some errands after that.
Sunday - Church, then just relaxing for the rest of the day with Bryce and DH.
The ILs may stop in at some point this weekend - but I'm hoping DH tells them not to since we are all sick. This is Bryce's first cold. MIL is a school teacher and I don't want to catch something else before we are even over this. It has been a long week with a cranky sick baby.
Today-working then going out tonight with friends in Farmington to a new place called "Company" that sounds really great, then going home and probably lounging.
The rest of the weekend is open, Saturday I may try to take the puppies to a free puppy socialization class in Augusta. They are really well socialized with people and other dogs, but it would probably get some of their energy out.
Other than that, unless I talk to a potential adopter more and like them enough to do a meet and greet and drive to Bangor, probably just cleaning and such. We do so much more on the weekends when it's warmer. 
Super great weekend planned. Which is good, cause this was my first 5 day week in a while and it was long
Today: Glucose test in the afternoon. Picking up my little man and trying to squeeze out as much play time as possible. I miss him!!! Then off to have dinner with some friends in NH.
Tomorrow: Date night planned. Telling DH that I get to sleep in tomorrow. Waxing my nether regions so I can go into a public pool
Then date night.
Sunday: Clean the house, relax, dinner with my siblings and my brothers GF who is up from DC.
So excited!!
Today: Mama-Delia time while Matt is at school. We have the bank and grocery store on our list of things we should do. We may skip the bank, but really need to get some things we weren't able to get the other day at the grocery store(Delia was done, the grocery list wasn't) Tonight I am making a homemade chinese food dinner, shrimp fried rice, crab rangoons and reheating some frozen egg rolls.
Tomorrow: A whole lot of not much planned. Perhaps visiting DH's grandparents, they still haven't met Delia and they only live 10 minutes away. I have plans to make ribs in the crockpot, so that will be dinner with mac and cheese. I am also toying with the idea of making Valentines for the grandparents with photos of Delia.
Sunday: More Cosby show? maybe starting CD prep? Delia is now over 9lbs and her umbilical cord stump came off this week, so we will be making the big switch soon.. If I make the Valentines maybe we will hand deliver some of those...
Today will hopefully be a lot of relaxing. Yesterday, DH and I went to Boston for the day, went to the science museum, did a tasting at Harpoon and met some fun people that we went to a bar with after the tasting, then we went to dinner...I don't think I really even drank that much and we were home by 11:00, but I feel like I was out dancing until 3:00 am...blah.
At 2:00 today, DH has a phone interview for a job that we are super excited about...I'm sooo nervous for him. I know if he passes this stage, this particular company has a pretty intense group interview, which I can't even imagine being part of. Fingers crossed!
Tomorrow it's back to work - we'll be innsitting tomorrow night, so I'll be working through Sunday...hopefully home by 5ish.
Feel better!
Today: Had my GBS test this morning...nothing like starting the day with people sticking things in your hoo-ha. Hung out at my sister's for a little while after, then had a spontaneous lunch with MH and Owen before coming home to do the nap/laundry/cleaning typical afternoon. Hopefully watching the last part of Downton Abbey tonight before bed if I can stay awake.
The rest of the weekend will be getting crap done around the house. Putting up some more shelves in the kids' room and organizing them, maybe taking myself to the Container Store and Macy's while MH hangs with Owen, stopping by BostonWood to discuss having radiator covers built, picking up V-day gifts for my niece and nephew (back to Target?), stocking up at CVS so that I can pack for the hospital, packing, setting up the bassinet, etc. etc. etc.
We'll see if I maintain enough energy for even half that list...
Last night we dealt with a baby that didn't want to go to bed and then finally watched Valkyrie that we've had from Netflix for like 3+ weeks.
Today I've already done a bunch of chores and done some playing with the small one. We'll go to the grocery store at some point and there will be lots of bellydance practicing.
Tomorrow I've got to be in Brunswick at 8:30 (blech) for my last bell ringing appearance and THEN I've got to get back to Portland by 11:30 for my very first Naya's Trance bellydance performance! We're scheduled to perform from noon until 12:30 at the Lucid Stage over near the Baxter Blvd Hannaford. I'm doing a solo that I was going to improv, but after watching myself repeatedly on tape last weekend, I am going to slap together some loose choreography so I don't look like a complete spazz/ idiot. After that, I'm going to come back and unwind from my big debut!
