Happy WEEKEND!
Re: Happy WEEKEND!
Today: Dropping Abby off to DC, shopping for the weekend's events, sewing, yardwork if the weather cooperates,
Tomorrow: Swim Lessons, running my first 5K, using one of our Gritty's $2 g/c with friends tomorrow night
Sunday: Church, yardwork, Maple Sugar house in Sidney, Uncle's 60th birthday party late afternoon....
Tonight- dinner with my friend and her husband at one of my favorite restaurants to use my birthday coupon there (free meal!)
Tomorrow/ Sunday- haven't really confirmed yet but I might go visit my BFF in Vermont-- she has a 6 month old and has been really frustrated/ annoyed at her husband lately. DH wanted to hang out with his BIL anyway and that's on the way, so it works out perfectly.
JD- I know of so many March 60 year olds! My dad turned 60 2 weeks ago and two of my friends have surprise parties this weekend for their parents.
Today- No big plans this afternoon. DH is working this weekend and he and Eli both have colds (I have been able to avoid it so far ::knock on wood::) so a low key evening. Making spaghetti and meatballs for dinner then watching some DVRed shows.
Tomorrow- Running a 5K in the morning- my first of the year pushing Eli in the stroller and it looks like there is a monster hill on the course- Ugh! Maybe having Eli run his first fun run before if he's feeling okay and it isn't too crowded or long. Then heading home for a relaxing afternoon/evening.
Sunday- Pancake breakfast with Eli and my dad for Maine Maple Sunday and visiting another sugar house. Going to a Rick Charette concert in the afternoon with Eli and my mom. Maybe stopping by another sugar house, 1 mile from our house, on the way home.
Today-Work then probably just hanging out, my BIL is coming down for the night
Tomorrow-Sobbing all day as we drive 4 hours each way to MA to bring our last foster to his forever home. I have cried numerous times a day over the past few days because of it. It's ridiculous.
I really don't want to let him go.
Sunday- Sleeping in and probably cleaning...and probably some more crying.
Tonight - I think I may go out shopping by myself after dinner. I have a coupon for DSW...
Saturday - I have a noon appointment to get a haircut and a manicure (using the gift certificate I got for last Mother's Day!); in the evening the ILs are coming over to babysit and DH and I will go out to dinner somewhere or something; contemplating dragging DH to the King Arthur bread demo in Portsmouth
Sunday - skipping church to go on a grand tour of sugar houses (we usually go to 3 or 4 different places) and stock up on maple syrup for the year for us and my parents (in VA); can't go to the Rick Charette concert in Sanford because 2:00 is Helen's nap time.
Busy weekend of birthday party prep. Today - Dr's appointment and then I'm headed to pick up a few things in Portland. MIL is watching DD. I think she's finally getting her first cold, courtesy of her cousin. Boo, almost made it a full year
Tonight - baking duck cake
Tomorrow - errands, dropping dog off at the groomers, decorating the practise duck cake, tomorrow night if DD feels better we'll drop her off at IL's and head to BJ's to stock the new freezer.
Sunday - clean and get ready for next weekend!
Yeah, Eli usually naps from 1-3ish, but I am going to press my luck and put him down early and hope for the best!
Happy Weekend!
Today/Tonight: Just got a call from DH, apparently the trawling net got ripped off the ship, so while he was at the helm, he was instructed to circle around to pick it up, but got a little too close and ended it up running it over. So now it's wrapped around the screw and prop, and the seas are too heavy to dive to get it untangled. Soooo, a tug just showed up to bring them into the Navy pier for an unexpected weekend home! I was joking when I told him to beat up the ship on Monday so he could stay home longer, whoops! Dinner with some friends tonight and probably home early.
Tomorrow: DH will be running dive ops all day to remove said entangled net, and I don't have much on the agenda. Usual cleaning & weekend stuff, making some smoked slamon dip to take to a friend's on Sunday.
Sunday: Heading to Boston for a bridesmaid dress fitting! We're doing a potluck brunch around noon then heading to the Aria showroom. It should be interesting since the wedding is about a month after my due date, so I really have no idea what size I'll be by then, but I figure I'll order it nice & big so I have plenty of room for comfort or alterations.

YAY! I am always so happy on Friday morning.
Tonight: Date night w/M, no solid plans because that's just how we roll.
Tomorrow: 10-mile run, errands, housecleaning, etc.
Sunday: Maple Sunday! We'll be going to at least one sugar house but so far have been unable to decide which one. There is talk of visiting more than one. That afternoon I'm planning to get my new phone, and that night I'm picking up my parents from the airport from their vacation.
Tonight: Bookclub! Yay!
Tomorrow: Sewing project with some Nestie help. Spending the rest of the day with my dudes.
Sunday: Visiting the "old folks", i.e. Grammy and Grampy.
And she is SUPER DUPER pumped too!!
Tonight???
Tomorrow, sleeping in. Then heading to watch some of my nesties run a 5K - yep I'm cheering you on. Having some lunch with said Nestie or two. Meeting Meg/Dev and getting a stroller (yipppeee). Possible second nest visit after??
BBQ sat night with SIL/brother and SIL's sister from Cali.
Sunday, showing my house again. Playing with my little man, relaxing.
Tonight we are heading to Kittery to hit up the sales at Osh Kosh and Carters.
Tomorrow Josh is at a scouting thing all day so I am with the boys... no major plans yet but I may venture out depending on the weather to get some things for our trip
Sunday we are going to breakfast and then to a sugar house in Windham that has animals with the ILs, BIL and FSIL
Yay for Friday.
Not much for me this weekend.
Tomorrow DH is heading to Sunday River to go snow boarding. He hasn't been able to go all season, so he figures he can go at least once. I will be home with the boys all day, unless I decide to venture out by myself with them.
Sunday, I will be home again with the boys since DH has to work at the hospital all day. So it will be laundry and cleaning while trying to keep the boys occupied.
FUN!!! The Aria showroom is fun! Our BM dresses were from there. Gorgeous! Show us what y'all pick out!
Today: I'm home with Marcus. We're cleaning and making some food because we're hosting book club tonight. We got outside for a bit as well.
Tomorrow: no plans
Sunday: I have to go to CT and back for work. Long day, but that's why I'm off today.
I'm really looking forward to it! The brides are two of my favorite people on the planet, and I introduced them, so I can't wait to hang out. Aria was actually my 2nd choice for BM dresses for our wedding, so I can't wait to sport one of their dresses. I'm thinking something in a burlap sack cut should be about right, considering I have NO IDEA what my body is going to look like one month post birth!

Tonight: Cleaning
Tomorrow: Joshua has his first belt test for Karate in the am! Kids Fun Fair after that and lunch with my parents and brother for his "birthday party" after that!
Sunday: Hopefully nothing
If you were a character on a TV show I'd be certain that you were knocked up.
NO PLANS!! No house guests, no chores, NUTHIN'. Maybe put some stuff away in the attic, maybe some menu planning/grocery shopping. Maybe take Owen to the Children's museum to run around. Maybe watch a movie with MH. Hopefully taking naps.
I thought it sounded quite suspicious myself!
Ditto!
Tonight: book club with a fabulous group of ladies
Tomorrow: also running a 5K and pushing Nolan in the stroller for the first time. Wasn't excited to hear about the hills. Then lunch with a friend....or 2? Nothing tomorrow night.
Sunday: thinking were heading out for Maine Maple Sunday. Very excited since we've never been. Then low-key evening.
Since DH has had to work Saturdays the weekend has been lame.
Tonight - tried to convince DH to come home early (as in on-time at 5 and not normal time at 8:30), he compromised at 6. I want to go do something.
Sat - DH will go to work and I will do some homework and laundry
Sun - DH has a shooting match. I will stay home, more homework and laundry? general slacking? not sure.
