TGIF
It's Friday, and hopefully baby Lucas's birthday! What is everyone up to for the weekend?
Today: Not too much for me. Might do some baking and maybe run out and pick up a few thing depending on how Kenzie cooperates.
Saturday: We have my annual Christmas party with my closest friends. I always am so excited for it, but this year I am almost dreading it. Since neither of our parents live close I don't feel it's fair to ask one of my sisters to watch Kenzie overnight, so we are bringing her to the party and staying over there (it's in a different town). She has been quite fussy, especially in the evenings lately, so I'm worried we aren't going to have fun because we will be dealing with her, and that she will squash the atmosphere a bit for everyone else. Brice suggested he stay home with her, but I want him to be able to come. So I guess we will see how tonight goes and tomorrow during the day and make a last minute decision.
Sunday: Nothing really planned. Probably just a lazy day at home.
Re: TGIF
Today: movers are here again and loading all our stuff into a huge semi truck, T is trying to get our cars out from being stuck in the mud in the back yard where they've been stuck for 3 days now, and I'm battling this headache that keeps coming and going all week (I think it's partially from cutting my caffeine, my Keurig is packed so no coffee for me
I ended up drinking about 1/2 a cup of Coke to try to kill it).
Saturday: hitting the road, off to MD we go, though we're stopping in VA overnight since it's a looooong drive.
Sunday: more driving and then getting to our new house! I'll probably crash by 9:30pm because that's how I roll these days
Monday: finding a library/Kinkos/somewhere where I can fill out my new insurance forms on a computer or my laptop and be able to print them and fax them since my printer is now on the semi truck. Then hopefully faxing them and seeing if I can make some kind of Dr appt for a blood draw and OB referral.
Yay for the weekend!
Today: Andy and I are hanging out at home and hopefully getting the house cleaned up. Tonight we're decorating for Christmas.
Tomorrow: Will has his science fair finally. He worked really hard on his project so I hope it goes well.
Sunday: I'm not sure yet. Hopefully some quiet time at home with the family.

Today: Getting ready for Wyatt's Party tomorrow!!! (and hanging around here to watch for updates from Laura!). We also have a birthday party for our neighbour's little girl this evening.
Tomorrow: My boy's BIRTHDAY!!! woohoo! We also have a Christmas party to go to in the evening if we're up to it.
Sunday: Cleaning up after said birthday and decorating for Christmas
Today: Work/obsessively check my phone for Laura updates, then dinner, maybe grocery shopping? And of course getting a new nestie nephew
Tomorrow: Laundry, then who knows what...lazy day!
Sunday: Lunch & Children's Museum with 2 of our friends
I'm excited for this weekend!
Post this on the Baltimore board..the ladies there will help you out.
Today: I have SO much to do at work and then several errands. I have no idea what we are doing this evening. We might have pizza at home or end up going out... or I might end up cooking. There's no telling today. And the worst part is that I just want to sleeeep!
Tomorrow: Sleep in a little, clean up the disaster that is my apartment, head to my dad's for my second annual Sugar 'n Spice (yep, came up with that all by myself) baking day with my step mother, aunt, and grandmother... and whoever else shows up. Then tomorrow night my dad, step mother, M and I are driving down to the Charlotte motor speedway for the largest light display/show in NC.
Sunday: Church, sleep, relaxing, and Christmas crafts.
Whew!
Today: work this afternoon and then making a card/photo holder for Christmas cards.
Tomorrow: no solid plans. May catch a movie, or might just hang around the house basking in the knowledge that I don't have to study anything for a few weeks.
Sunday: maybe the dog park with Finn and then we have an alumni dinner for Steve's fraternity to go to. Should be interesting.

I should! Though I think I know where I'm going to go already since we are living like less than a mile from Howard County General, and I'm going to be under Johns Hopkins, since it's a partnership thing with my insurance, so I'm going to try to go there, they have a primary practice and an OB one.
Today: had a morning deep tissue massage to try and loosen up my hip (every contraction makes my right leg go completely numb!), playdate with A's friend, home for a nap and then visiting Santa tonight and dinner at Bonefish.
Saturday: dog's vet appt, car appt for snow tires, lunch out with S & A, dinner out with my doula (sans kiddo and husband)
Sunday: Church, cleaning and enjoying our last weekend day before family is here for a month and 2.0 arrives!
Today: Running errands after work then movie night with hubby
Tomorrow: Taking Sasha to the vet for shots, cleaning the house top to bottom to get ready to host Christmas brunch for our families, drive around to look at decorated houses.
Sunday: Maybe some shopping. Lazy day!
Tonight: Christmas Choir Concert. So happy to be putting away the stupid Messiah for another year.
Tomorrow: Run, clean up Bernie's room (aka the back room), work on my sister's Christmas Present, enjoy the UK basketball game with some pizza and libations.
Sunday: Church, probably, then watching Murray State play Memphis. We'll probably lose our undefeated record on Sunday, but you never know!
And all the while, I'll be eagerly awaiting news and pictures of Baby L!
Tonight: I bought a filing cabinet, which I really needed. Relaxing and watchin TV with DH
Tomorrow: I want to unpack and set up a few more things, but we'll see if DH will cooperate with me. Then there's my office Christmas party in the evening. Hopefully I'll win a good door prize.
Sunday: church, setting up my parent's Christmas tree, helping my mom sort through her books and taking some home with me
I'm actually looking forward to this weekend; I feel like I'm actually accomplishing something/have a life for once.
Today: Had a really long day at work that culminated with a tense, but honest and I think productive meeting... brutal for a Friday afternoon but needed nonetheless. Went out with friends for dinner/happy hour (my HH special of choice - Diet Coke and Carne Asada quesadillas... the latter was a mistake, not good on my tummy hehe).
Tomorrow: Prob a trip to the dog park and I think I need to go get a massage. My back is tense... oh how I miss having someone around to massage out a stressful week and vice versa.
Sunday: Church
Either Sat or Sun, I'm gonna try and get a Christmas tree and get my decorations out of the garage.
tonight I made ornaments with my family
tomorrow: I'm getting my hair done, and I think I'm going to bite the bullet and go brunette (or maybe something else?). I've never changed my hair, but think it might be fun to try for a change??? I really hope I can pull the trigger on this.
Sunday: celebrating xmas with my family and aunt who's coming up for the day
