Where is everyone?

How was your weekend?

Butter Cookie

I posted about my weekend on FB. How was YOUR weekend, Nico? Did you clean your new bath tub drunk and/or naked?

nicoleg1982

No, I cleaned everything last week on Weds. and moved everything in on Saturday.  With the exception of putting books and clothes away, and hanging art/photos, I am done unpacking.  Of course, there is the matter of reorganizing everything now.

There are still a few odds and ends that stbxh needs to come sort out - replacing the outlet for the dryer, attaching the dryer hose, replacing the thermostat, etc.

Last night, I did a load of essentials and just hung them up around the condo.  Looks like a lingerie/toddler thrift shop or something.

It's amazing he's doing so much around the condo for you, at least?

**O-Face**

My weekend was actually really good.  Lots of running around, and then SUNDAY...whoa.  PIG OUT.  But I'm okay with it and I'm moving on.

<div>Yes.  Most people would not be so lucky.  Also, I don't want to hassle with the leasing/maintenance co. for some things since they are upgrades.</div><div>
</div><div>His attitude has always been that anything he can do or give me to better DD's life is worth the work/sacrifice.  A lot of people don't understand that position.  Esp. since they know we're getting divorced.  I never said he was a bad guy, he's just a terrible husband IMO and I am a terrible wife in his. </div><div>
</div><div>He did jokingly say that he hopes I have a new boyfriend by the time I want to move again.  ;)</div>

Weekend wasn't bad. DD did wonderfully on her first flight. She was the belle of the ball at the wedding, second only to the bride, and it was nice to have some adult time even if she was there.

I'm having mild panic attacks about going back to work, but not much I can do about that.

<div>DD and I had the most greasy, delicious meal last night, and it was sooo worth it.  Yum!</div>

<div>As soon as you both are in a routine, it will be much easier.  And you will find you missed that adult interaction more than you thought.</div>

Butter Cookie

Hey, that makes sense (the he's not a bad guy we're just not right for each other thing) and you already know he'll make DD a priority, so there's that.

Have you gotten the paperwork together for a legal separation or is that required in your state?

nicoleg1982

We just flat out file for divorce here.  I typed it all on Sunday morning while DD was still at H's.  Boss 1 is going to review it and I am hoping to file it by Friday.

NOLABridesmaid

The 26 year old had a date so no hanging out with her on Friday.

I helped my sis with her garage sale, and made $10 off of a few pairs of shoes I grabbed before leaving.

I'm all kinds of mad I didn't look for more stuff to sell.:(

Sunday, church and brunch with my friend and the cutest baby in the world.

**O-Face**

Yes, hamburger, wings, ice cream...all yummy.

I'm here.  I really need to eat breakfast, take a bath, and pump while DefConn is sleeping.  I'm trying to find the energy.  He did just eat, so he should be good for at least 2 hours.  Probably 3.

Weekend was good.  After it stormed Sat morning, it turned beautiful.  DH and I got out alone yesterday and went to Sam's while my parents stayed at the house with the kiddo and the baby.  It was odd going to the store with only DH and no children.  We don't get to do that often.  I"m back into my pre-pregnancy clothes and packed up all my maternity stuff.

Nothing special.

Almost quit my job on Friday. My boss let the other assistant go, so instead of having the morning at the park and the afternoon of laundry and doing some work at home, I worked intensely from 8-4. DH had to come home at lunch and stay with Baby A because he was teething and grump and I had a ton of work to do. I was in my PJs until 4. Not good. Today, Boss and I will be discussing me actually working part time, and what part time actually means.

We had dinner at PF Changs with another couple and their daughter, and that was nice.

Saturday, I had yoga and DH had nerd club in the afternoon. Baby A and I went shopping. When DH got home, we had dinner at Whole Foods and watched "Just Go With It". It was meh -- I fell asleep.

Yesterday was the gym then we went to a nearby park for a neighbor's picnic. It was fun. DH did our taxes in the afternoon, and Baby A and I went out for a bit. I picked up a pizza for dinner, and then we relaxed.

That's what I figure. I'm moving her bedtime back gradually this week and we'll see how that goes. We started bed time around 9:45 last night and I didn't get into bed until after midnight. Then she was up at 3am and neither of us has gone back to sleep. At least the kid gets to grab a nap when we're on the subway later.

Not too much.  Got some garden work done.  Sheese, too hot outside and I still want to do one more thing this morning before storms come in again ...took a few walks with DH and LO, did our usual errands. 

I've got 4 more weeks of maternity leave left, then back to work, wherever that may be.  It didn't really hit me until this weekend.  Eeesh, not looking forward to that at all

My weekend was good and bad.  Good - the furniture we ordered arrived a week early, so we finally have functional dressers and a dining room table.

Bad - Was supposed to take my grandmother to church with me and to breakfast at the church beforehand.  Spoke to her on Friday and Saturday about it, and by Sunday she had completely forgotten about all of it, including my previous conversations with her.  She wound up not coming with me at all. I knew her Alzheimer's was getting pretty bad, but it all just bummed me out for the day.  I think it's not going to be too much longer before my family has to put her in an assisted living place.

My weekend was busy.

Friday night we firmed up plans with H's coworker, which prompted me to suddenly hate everything in the house. Like, want to burn the place down, salt the earth and start all over again - hate.

Saturday we went to the farmer's market, flea market, feed store, Ross, TJMaxx, the liquor and grocery store, cleaned the house and washed both cars. That night my BFF and her BF came over and stayed the night. I miss her.

Sunday I cleaned some more and H's cw and BF (husband - I don't know? They wear matching rings) came over and we had a late St. Patty's Day dinner (corned beef and cabbage and car bomb cupcakes). It was wonderful being so busy and having company. It was a much need distraction. Now I am back at work and blech....

nico- sounds like you 2 are moving through this in a really healthy way.
arb- I'm sorry to hear about your grandma.

I spent Sat. morning annoyed at DH.  BIL and 1 kid came over.  It was actually quit pleasant. 

Sun. was church with M2 while the boys went to Lowe's.  Then laundry and cooking while DH gardened.
