Friday!
It's Friday! I'm excited for this weekend! What are people up to?
Re: Friday!
As I type, MH is in his final interview with his #1 choice for an employer after he finishes his degree. Cross your fingers!
This afternoon we fly to Boston to spend the weekend with my parents to have a belated 60th birthday celebration with my dad. I've told my dad the schedule is pretty much up to him but I think we'll be doing things like going out for dinner, watching Halloween movies, getting cider donuts and (weather permitting) my dad and Matt will be doing projects around the house. Yes, that's what my dad wants for a "celebration." Man-project time with MH. Haha. If I'm lucky, I'll sneak in a visit with one of my closest friends and her baby. :-)
When we get back on Sunday, I'll be rushing to bake some Halloween cookies for a party on Monday. Then we'll have dinner with one of MH's friends who is in town for the weekend.
Friday - I still haven't figured out what I'm doing today. Helen and I are sitting on the couch in our pjs; I'm on the computer and Helen is playing with my iPod. Laziness at its best.
Saturday - going to Erika's party. Maybe taking Helen to the mall after for trick-or-treating.
Sunday - church in the morning, no plans for the afternoon. Probably just work on stuff around the house.
Repeat from the past 2 weekends
I'm being a lazy bum and hanging around in bed lol
Today - visiting nurse is coming to take blood etc. from DH and I since we are changing our life insurance policy.
Still need to find out when trick or treating is. We're not really going, but we want to stop by our old neighborhood and see one of our old neighbors. She's getting up in age and loves Caroline so it's a chance for a quick hello. I'll hang out in the truck. Will be my first time outside since last tuesday!
This weekend is bitter sweet. DH goes back to work finally and I'm on my own while DD gets watched by MIL. Stinks that DH has had 3 weeks in a row and we didn't get to do anything fun, granted otherwise he wouldn't have!
Tonight: hanging with my man Abe.
Tomorrow: I think we will go out and buy some party stuff. I'm not sure if we will be able to handle iParty...Target maybe. I think Seth wants to go on a date in the evening.
Sunday: HOPEFULLY I have a photoshoot in the afternoon. Damn snow.
Tonight I am going to pick up a couple things at walmart and then come home and cook dinner. T has been tired lately so I'm hoping she goes to bed early so I can clean my office and gather up some things I'm not using and sell them (horse show clothing, Stampin Up stuff and other misc scrapbooking supplies).
Tomorrow I had planned on going to Erika's but then I really wanted to take T to the mall for trick or treating on Saturday. So that turned into inviting the in laws and going to an early dinner with them. Sorry Erika
Sunday is the same old same old. Groceries, cleaning and laying low.
Today - Hanging with the babe, probably bundling her up and going for a walk. Nothing planned for tonight.
Tomorrow - Carving our pumpkins and just hanging at home.
Sunday - Dressing Savannah in her costume (A ladybug!) and bringing her to see my mom and MIL to "trick or treat" They live about an hour away and will not see her on Monday but wanted to see her dressed up!
I'm home today (and shouldn't be online at all) cleaning and cooking (although I've managed to do now that it's getting close to noon is shower, get the kid to daycare, and spend a bunch at the grocery store) and getting everything ready for the PARTY!!!!
Saturday: PARTY DAY!!!!! The morning will be a nuthouse getting ready. I'm really hoping my friends from MA are still going to be able to make it north with the crummy forecast. I've got a massive menu, so feel free to drop in anyone who hasn't rsvp'd. (Brianne- you should totally come by!) We'll crash and watch a horror movie at night.
Sunday: Recover from Saturday and make a robot costume for James for Monday. Football, food, laziness and it sounds like a lot of bundling up!
Hooray Friday! This week has been so crazy at work, I'll be really relieved when I leave tonight. They want us to do OT this weekend but I may just stay later tonight to avoid having to come in during the weekend.
This weekend I'm planning to do some stuff around the house - laundry and the usual cleaning but also get the guest room set up including my desk and book shelves for a little "writing nook". Yoga, figuring out Halloween costumes for (maybe) us and (definitely) the little dude, etc.
Happy weekend everyone
Today: Took the day off for our big ultrasound and a doctors appointment and found out we are having a GIRL! So surprised and excited. Going grocery shopping later, then a lazy night at home.
Tomorrow: "Running" a 5K in the morning with the family, then trying to make it to Erika's party. Not looking so good since Eli has had a cold all week and his naps have been essential, but unpredictiable. Maybe meeting up with a friend in the late afternoon/evening.
Sunday: Family day hopefully!
Friday is my favorite day of the week...full of possibilities!
Tonight, the girls have dance. Then, we'll head home, relax and wait for the husband to get home
Tomorrow, we are attending a wedding, so I'm getting my dancing shoes ready! Sunday-prepping for the week. I'm going to make these for the girls' Halloween party on Monday:

Have a great weekend!
I am so flipping tired this week.
Making dinner for DH and I tonight and we're going to watch a movie.
Saturday- doing some baby room projects, maybe some sewing and laundry
Sunday- working 9-3 unless we get a ton of snow.
Yay Friday!!
Today: Hanging out with the peanut, got myself a pumpkin late from DD. My dad is coming by to visit, the babe, not me. I'm all caught up with the dishes and laundry so I'll probably waste some time online until DH gets home. Starting tonight he'll be home for the next 10 days so we're all pretty excited about that!
Saturday: No plans, maybe a walk, maybe a date night, maybe just hanging out at home.
Sunday: Going to my nephew's birthday party and laying low the rest of the day.
Although I've had a few "just trying to figure things out" tears, they are very short-lived. This whole mama gig is pretty awesome.
Tonight: Going for a walk with the dog, dinner, relaxing and watching some DVR'd TV shows.
Tomorrow: Labor and Delivery/Lamaze class! Maybe stopping and getting a new cell phone on the way home and shopping around for carpet for the baby's room.
Sunday: Chores, projects and dubbing around the house. Baking a ton of pumpkin cookies for dh and I to take to work on Monday for Halloween! Also I want to go buy some pumpkins so I can make roasted pumpkin seeds. Yum!! DH is going to finish up painting the baby's room and finish some repairs that need to be done in there! Then all we have to do is wait for the carpet to get installed (hopefully next week), then we can work on decorating, washing clothes/blankets, etc. Can't wait!!
That doesn't sound like coming down to Portland where you can eat yummy food and sit around while others compliment your baby belly! Laundry can definitely wait- I think you should change your maybe to a yes. Our hubs can talk Jeeps.
Tonight - My mom and her husband are visiting we went out to dinner.
Tomorrow - Hitting up a craft fair in the am. My sorority little sister and my younger cousin are coming down from Bangor to visit for the afternoon. I am so excited to spend time with them!
Sunday - No real plans, just stuff around the house.
I'll play since I'm trying to post a bit more and not be such a lurker.
Tonight: Grey's and Private Practice then to bed early, it's been a long week.
Tomorrow: Working a 1/2 day, then going to Portland to pick up the rocker recliner that we bought for the nursery last weekend. Then Matt will put the trim back up in the nursery now that the new floor is down so we can then put the crib together! The only other big piece of furniture we still need to get is a dresser.
Sunday: Cleaning the house and making a large batch of homemade spaghetti sauce to freeze and add to the freezer stockpile I have started.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Today: finished getting ready for my craft fair tomorrow...man, I'm tired!
Tomorrow: kissing up to craft fair patrons :-) Maybe swinging by Erika's after...Tim and Abby are attending and I'd love to see everyone!
Sunday: Church and then chilling. Tim has a 10k in the am in the snow. Sucker! :-)
Can't wait to sit my fat a$$ down on Sunday!
Today: I was going to go hiking, but the cool temps and my massive work pile lead us to decide last night to stay home. DH has TONS of house work to do before the snow. And that means I'll still be heading to the party this afternoon, perhaps even with DH. Not sure if I'll be getting my ol' witch costume on with how yucky I've been feeling lately, but I'm going to try.
Tomorrow: Working more on editing, assuming we still have power. And doing grades. And sleeping. A lot.
Today: headed to Erikas! Then depending on the weather we might head to LLBean and Osh Kosh then home
Tomorrow: hunkering down!
