Weekend Plans
It's Friday, Friday....
Today: workin' when I'd rather be sleeping because I feel like crap, then getting Sam from daycare *snugs* and bringing her to my mom's for the night so we can head out for hibachi and karaoke with some friends in honor of Chris' birthday
Saturday: my school orientation out at UMass Amherst -- this is happening, people!!! And since it's over 2 hours' drive one way, and the orientation starts at 2pm, my day is otherwise shot
Sunday: WW in the morning to tally the damage I've done over the week/weekend then we're having a lunch at my parents' house for my grandmother's 85th birthday.
Monday: I'm off anyway, but Chris has it off due to the MLK holiday as well, so we're probably going to find something to do as a family. Otherwise he'll stay home and do some manly things around the house while my friend and I bring our babies to a free Gymboree music class
Re: Weekend Plans
MB - congrats on orientation! What are you going back to school for?
My plans:
Today - try not to die
Saturday - work a 6 hour shift I picked up "extra" a few weeks ago -- it'll be the only time I work this week. So much for earning overtime
Sunday - feel better?
Birthday dinner for SIL at ILs house
Monday - chiropractor, chillaxing
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Thank you, thank you! I'm going back to finally complete my Bachelors.. at this point I'm entering in as a Junior and should be done in about 3 years at the speed I want to go. The program is called University Without Walls and it's aimed specifically at working adults who want to finish their degree. It's 100% online so it's convenient plus has the backing of an accredited university, and the best part is the program will review my life and career experiences and I could earn up to 30 additional credits! So I'm going to go for Criminal Justice! w00t!

Today: SNOW DAY!!! So now I have time to finish all the crap I meant to finish around the house this week. And I have an appointment at 4 for my anxiety.
Tomorrow: will be waking up at 5:45am after having spent the night at my mom's so we can drive to Greensburg to get on the train and head to NYC for the long weekend. It's my sister's birthday gift to herself that my mom horned in on and I was recruited to baby sit my mom.

Tomorrow: bridesmaid dress shopping with a good friend and my sister. Cocktails afterwards, and then home to watch Pats game with H (hoping he feels better by then)
Sunday: brunch in the city with some girlfriends, looking forward to catching up. Then watching the Packers beat the Giants.
Monday: prepping for a college course that I just decided to teach THIS semester. Meeting with the prof who was supposed to teach it and hoping that he really has everything in place and I don't completely overwhelm myself.
Today: got out of jury duty at 1:00 and got to go home for the day. Yay for a 3 and 1/2 day weekend! Bff's are coming over for dinner. Best friend had a bad, bad week so we're having comfort food, delicious dessert and lots of wine.
