Gettin Down on Friday!
Hi Ladies,
I thought I'd start a post because I rarely get to get on during the week days anymore. Right now grad school, working, and being a mommy is harder to balance than I thought. The classes are much more demanding than I was prepared for, but I'm working on it.
Myles hasn't been sleeping well the last 2 nights, turns out he has an ear infection, a little antibiotics and baby pain killer and he's back to his old silly self. Rough few weeks this guy's had.
Anyway on tap this weekend, a lot of family stuff (again) my BIL is having surgery today, and I have lots of homework to do. So Myles is having a Grandpa and me day on Saturday.
We're skipping valentines day this year, we both just have way too much on our plates. We're going to celebrate over my spring break.
Have a great day!
Re: Gettin Down on Friday!
Good morning!
I actually feel like a real human being this morning. I got a pretty darned good nights sleep (only work up once!) and had the time/energy to blow dry my hair nicely this morning and spend more than 5 minutes on my makeup.
I've got lots of plans this weekend and it's exciting. Tomorrow morning I'm getting a pedicure with my mom and step-sister to celebrate mine and my step-sis's birthday's and then Derek and I are meeting kaesha and Mr. kaesha at ringy's house for dinner! I can't lie, I'm really excited to play with Darian.
Sunday should be a busy day of working around the house. Who knows, maybe we'll squeeze in a trip to Ikea to get some nursery furniture.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Happy Friday ladies! This seems like it's been such a slow week, and I am so happy the weekend is finally here. We have absolutely no plans, but will probably finalize some of our travel planning, start our taxes, work out, and hopefully get a massage - DH has mentioned it a couple of times, so I hope he follows through.
I'm also planning on testing tomorrow, and I'm pretty anxious about it.
Cecilia arrived 12 October 2012
I'm nursing a well-deserved hangover at my desk this morning. Thankfully I drank a ton of water while drinking and popped some aspirin somewhere in the middle. It was sooo worth it. I can't believe how nice it felt to just go out and not be "mom" for the night. I love my single girls and really miss that lifestyle sometimes. My funk might finally be broken.
Tonight will be general lounging with the hubs, and hoping Jackson sleeps really well again. I don't think he got up at all last night, but I may have passed out as soon as I hit the pillows around 2. This weekend I'll hopefully catch up on some much needed sleep.
Yay for Friday! I'm exhausted this morning. I just feel like I can't wake up. Last night I worked out and watched basketball. I guess I must have hit the workout pretty hard because I'm a little sore this morning.
Today I'm going out to lunch with a friend and then possibly going out for drinks tonight. A band that I like is playing at the local bar so it would definitely be a good time. Otherwise, no plan this weekend (yet). I really need to do some work around the house. I want to get in a couple of good workouts. Maybe Kyle and I will have a date night too, since Valentine's Day is just around the corner. I don't like celebrating on the actual day.
Yeah for Friday! I have no plans except studying.
(cue wah wah trombone) There is a large flea market open though this weekend and I may sneak off and check it out. I am dreaming of new/old mid century furniture and would like to find something cool.
Morning ladies. I'm so happy it's finally Friday. This week has been dragging beyond belief. I'm not feeling the best today, so I will probably stay in this evening and just relax. Tomorrow, I want to hit up a maternity store near me--they're having a sale where if you bring in a pair of old jeans to donate, they give you 30% off a pair of new jeans. I think I may still have jeans from high school in my closet, so it sounds like a good deal to me. Then, I'm planning on meeting up with some girl friends for a girly movie and dinner. Sunday, B and I are heading to the auto show. We need to get a more family-friendly car, but we have no idea what we want, so this way we can see lots of cars in one place and hopefully narrow down what we want to go test drive. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Sushi, I'm keeping my FX for you tomorrow.
Good morning, ladies.
I'm jealous of your GTG! We will require a picture of the three of you with Darian.
Work tomorrow, then a long hike Sunday. I'm going to make some butternut squash chili. It sounds so yummy.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Good Morning! Last night I was able to get started on cleaning the cabinets off before the first coat will go on tonight. I'm so excited to get this done. I have been putting it off way to long. Plus it looks awesome when its done, 80s oak no more
I have to work tomorrow but I am really looking forward to having Sunday off. This week has been a pain to deal with so it will be nice not have to deal with work.
I agree LesPaul a picture of the GTG would be great! Have a great Weekend!
Good morning! Today's a day off and I am loving it so far. I slept in and had pancakes at our local deli. For the rest of the day I plan on going for a run outside, calling my parents and reading the next book I'm reviewing.
This weekend will be low key. I need to work on the story I'm writing for class, apply to some jobs that I've staked out on my feeds, and edit a review. We desperately need to go grocery shopping since we couldn't go last week. I also have to do a long run of nine miles. Looking forward to that (it's a great time to just think things through).
Hope everyone has a great one.
Good luck, sushi!!!!!
Tonight we're going to look at getting a Dodge Journey. Hopefully the sale is good but we were going to buy one anyways so we'll see. Otherwise I want to get to bed early tonight. I tried last night but I was up within 3 hours all itchy and hot so I'm tired today.
Tomorroe I want to get my run on and then after church we have an anniversary gathering that the church is putting on. ILs are celebrating 35 years so we get invited to a nice little gathering.
Otherwisw I'm hoping to get some cleaning done this weekend. I need to get any of the things that are in baby's closet put somewhere else since I want to buy and set up a closet organizer in there soon.
FX Sushi. I'll be thinking of you.
I called out of work today. I left work early yesterday with a bad sinus headache and was up half the night coughing. I hate being sick. I am just getting up. I can't believe I slept until 11! Now that I'm sick no plans for us. I do need to run out and get the boys Valentine cards for DC and a new pair of sneakers for Christian.
Have a great weekend ladies.
Woo hoo! Made it to another Friday.
I think we are going to get another cat this weekend. The Animal Rescue League is doing a catapaloosa on Saturday from noon to three where you can adopt a cat for $2 as a Valentine's special. We've been talking about getting a companion for Rex, so we're going to try. We have to wait for the cable guys to come first in the morning, so hopefully they show up at the beginning of the window.
Sunday is church, knitting group and dinner at SILs. I'm going to try my best to book a party at church, so wish me luck. I think if I could just get the first one or two, then I could get bookings from those parties and be on my way.
Somewhere in all that, we need to get groceries and do laundry.

Yesterday was pretty great. We went out to a new restaurant and it was really good. I had a linguine with a chicken curry Alfredo sauce, oh my goodness, so good. On the whole just a good day yesterday.
Today should be lovely. I am hoping to make an appointment somewhere to get my hair done finally, sadly I haven't had my hair taken care of in more than a year and I have no idea where in town to go. (It has been almost two years since I got it cut) I just want a trim and bangs and possibly some color. I was thinking of going red/ strawberry blond.
Good morning!
I'm so excited about our GTG tomorrow! Lamb chops are marinating in the fridge as we speak and I'll be cleaning and whatnot today.
sushi - good luck!!!
reba - another kitty, how fun! Pics please

Good luck sushi! Can't wait to hear good news.
I am so glad it's Friday. This has been the longest week what with being sick and getting little sleep. Last night O finally STTN again. I feel like a new person today. I have tons to do this weekend and I hope to be really productive. I'm going shopping for a few things for Olivia's birthday party and gift shopping for a baby shower. I also want to print all the pictures I have on my camera, computer and phones.
I'm also going to try to do some menu planning for the week before I go grocery shopping. I'll see how it goes this week and if it makes things easier I will make it a weekly thing.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
Last night was rough. H was up from 1:30-2:30 then our carbon monoxide detector went off! So we waited for the dude to show up, tell us we are not going to die since there was no CM detected in the house and went to bed at 5, only to have the baby wake up at 6:30
But that is why there are Starbucks and naps.
Tomorrow we are looking at new living room curtains (Christmas present from MIL) and Cold Stone Creamery is next door, totally not a coincidence!! Then just baby snuggles, baking, Netflix watching.

Last nite C and I took Rockie to the vet for his check up. I was shocked to find out he only ways 10 more pounds than Sparky. We also took Rockie to Murdocks to get a new collar and chewys. We also worked on our budget and taxes and I applied for some jobs.
Today I got to sleep into today and it was awesome. I am getting tattoo finished today and I am super excited. I am doing a Walk for Women tomorrow which the UW Women's basketball team does. Sunday a friend and I are going to put on a Galetines day celebration.

Good afternoon ladies.
Today we slept in, and I've been up cleaning since I woke up. I also have a loaf of homemade french bread in my new breadmaker, so I'm very excited to try that. Tonight, I am meeting my dad and we are going to a hockey game since Nate is working late tonight.
Tomorrow, we both work all day. Sunday, I plan on finishing up some homework, and finishing the nursery. Nate hired someone to come clean our house since he won't let me do anything that's not "easy" since I went into labor. I'm not complaining, but I think I could do it myself just fine.
N's great grandma died on Wednesday, so we've been getting together with the family that is here from out of town trying to figure out what to do next. Her funeral should be Monday or Tuesday. It's hard to see his mom, her grandma raised her so she's not doing so well.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
FX Sushi!
I'm late to the party today. I've been super busy this week tackling household chores while I'm in between jobs. This weekend is a good friends wedding and some family time. I'm really glad I took some time off in between jobs, however DH's schedule didn't mesh well with it so I hardly saw him.
