Re: How was your weekend?

  • Highs? DD and I met two of my girlfriends at Annapolis Mall and had a blast. I hadn't seen them in quite awhile, Mia's never really spent time with them, and they eagerly took her shopping and we all had a great time. Then DD and I went to my Mom's for the day and hung out with the family, which always makes my heart happy.

    Lows? Friday was Kids' Night Out at DD's school, and though I hadn't signed her up and wasn't planning for her to go, she was so eager to do it that I ended up letting her stay. DH and I spent the time on the couches - him with the iPad, me with my iPhone - and then went to Taco Bell. Poor use of kid-free time!

    Watch anything good? I enjoyed parts of The Grammys last night, but that's about all I watched this weekend.

    Read anything good? Nope

    Make/eat anything good? Saturday night we sent my nephews to Baja Fresh and ended up with a smorgasboard of tasty stuff.

    What are you looking forward to this week? DD's reaction to a special Valentine's Day with her Daddy.

    Vents, FFCs, comments, AWs, etc? On Friday morning DH told me that he would clean the bathrooms for me that evening since I've been so sick and spending a lot of time up close and personal with our toilets. Then he didn't do it. Last night I asked him to please take care of our bathroom, at least, and while he wasn't huffy with me, he was definitely not wanting to do it. A: You offered; B: I keep having to stick my head in it - give a girl a hand. He finally did it, but didn't clean the shower/tub or the floors. I don't want to sound ungrateful, but I'm annoyed that he halfassed it.

    • Highs? Had fun at the horse rescue party Friday night and had a nice dinner out with DH last night.
    • Lows? Plumber brought over our new tub walls Saturday morning and half of it was badly broken. This is the 2nd tub wall we've received - the first one had a bad crack in it. These stupid walls have delayed our bathroom remodel 2 weeks now and this is the main thing we're waiting on so we can move in. Really annoyed with this stupid company.
    • Watch anything good? Not really - watched some old Ab Fab episodes and caught up on Grimm
    • Read anything good? The Dog Who Knew Too Much by Spencer Quinn. I love this series.
    • Make/eat anything good? Had a wonderful meal at Lewnes' last night for an early V-day celebration.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? Getting granite counter tops installed Friday. I cannot wait!
    • Vents, FFCs, comments, AWs, etc? My stomach doesn't feel good today and I just really want to go home. Also I'm annoyed that my Mom is going away for a week and I have to dogsit an hour away on what is my busiest work week of the year. I've tried explaining it to her every.single.year but she still ends up booking a trip around the same dates. Her dog cannot be boarded b/c she freaks out and has seizures when boarded and every dog sitter she's ever had ends up quitting b/c she's too much to handle. I'm the only one besides my Mom that she will come to.
    • Highs? We started watching Grey's Anatomy on Netflix. DH went to the store for me on Friday night to get DS's prescription and medicine for me and he also came back with cookies and Cadbury eggs - my fav!!
    • Lows? See my vent post above!
    • Watch anything good? Episodes of Grey's Anatomy and Breaking Bad.
    • Read anything good? No.
    • Make/eat anything good? Nope. I kicked around the idea of making cupcakes, but it wasn't gonna happen.
    • What are you looking forward to this week? DH and DS getting better. My parents coming over on Saturday.
    • Vents, FFCs, comments, AWs, etc? Again, see my vent post above for the bad. On the AW side, DS has mastered real crawling and is pulling up on everything! He even climbed a stair yesterday.

    Lows? It was so cold and windy Sunday morning that I skipped my long run. :( My leg had been hurting and I was already not looking forward to the run that once the weather came in I was like, "nope, not happening."

    Vents, FFCs, comments, AWs, etc? Little frustrated with DH. We have so many house projects going on and things are in various states of being done.  I wanted to paint our bedroom this weekend and that didn't happened. Around 5pm on Sunday he's like, "well I'm done for the day."  What? There were still hours that we couldn't have done more around the house!

  • Highs? Sleep?  We had a nice impromtu lunch w/ another family and the kids all behaved and the grown ups got to talk - WIN WIN!

    Make/eat anything good? not really

    What are you looking forward to this week? Date night next Saturday!

    Vents, FFCs, comments, AWs, etc? My friend emailed about going to Madonna in September and we got tickets today!!!  I've seen her 2x before and the last time I thought - it too much money and effort to see her, etc. but at the Superbowl, I was just blown away by her - so I was totally happy to go see her!  I wish tickets weren't sooo bad - 110 for nosebleed, the next price was 200, which I just couldnt' see doing.  but whatevs. ... MADONNA!!! 

    Ditto PP on the husband frustration - DH worked his ass off on our kitchen reno and I know he needs a break, but there are still a few little things that need to get done. .. like hanging new doors, finishing the bulletain board, etc.  But, now he's gotten himself all distracted and he spent all weekend working on a new crab trap invention that he's come up with - so Lord only knows when he'll get back to the kitchen stuff.
