Morning!

How was the weekend?

We got so much done!  My mom had the kids and we had my dad all day Sat.  We got M2's room and the nursery painted and some blinds hung in the living room and kitchen.  The only drama was dad knocking over the paint can.  Blue/green pain on tan carpet kinda sucks.  He felt so terrible though he wanted to replace the entire room of carpet.   We told him that was way overkill.  The carpet might be new, but it's cheap and we fully expect to replace it in 5 years.  We were going to buy area rugs anyway.  Mom and dad both gave us money for the rugs and won't take it back.  Guess it'll just go to college funds.

Sunday the kids were still with my parents so DH and I hung blinds and curtains in both rooms and scrubbed both rooms and 6let's top to bottom.  I went through all of the hand me down clothes for 6let and all of his clothes for baby, sorted M2's clothes.  Then started washing.  I've got 2 boxes to sell, 2 for Goodwill, and 2 baskets for baby. 

I can't wait to get the baby furniture and cradle.

And I got lots of glorious sleep.  Saturday night I fell asleep on the couch at 630.  Woke up at 830 for a bowl of ice cream then went back to bed until 7 am. 

Now I'm just waiting for the doc's office to open because the itchy bumps are getting worse.  I'm afraid AF may have been right.

Do you think you might have PUPPS? 

Our weekend was pretty good.  Friday, DefConn and I just hung out all day with the exception of the Dr's visit.  He took a nice long nap and my friend A's sister came by for a bit and we visited.  It was nice because we usually just see each other at parties or other events, so we don't get a whole lot of one on one time.  We watched Puss in Boots amd ordered pizza.  DefConn amused us all by running around in circles for a good hour. 

Saturday, we were up early to go downtown for the JDRF walk.  After the walk, we went out to lunch with my parents and some family friends.  We then took the kiddo to my IL's because they were taking him to a festival on Saturday night.  We came back home and did some cleaning and I cooked for yesterday.

Sunday, we woke up early and did some more cleaning and I did some more cooking.  We had some friends over to watch football.  I made so.much.food and we had the best time.  These are friends we had not seen in a long time (they moved away and then came back...for a lot of reasons) and we absolutely adore them.  When they got ready to leave around 7, we still weren't ready for them to leave.  

DefConn's doing better, but now he has all the congestion crap that he can't seem to get out.  I hope he drains some of it out running around at the sitter today.  It's gross and he fights any sort of face/nose wiping.

I don't know if it's PUPPS or not.  It doesn't look like the google pics, but it also doesn't look like anything else.  I hate to go to the OB for something I should see a PCP for, but even more I hate to see a doc at all right now.

Glad you had a good weekend.

Finished shopping for the trip, and chilled. I wasn't feeling the cold temps so I stayed in most of the weekend.

NOLA, when do you leave again!? 

6-that sounds like a great weekend, sleep included.  Paint not included.  I am intrigued by the bumps...sick, I know.

mrsconn-poor little guy.  I'm glad to read he is doing better, minus the stuffies.  And yay for a friend weekend.  Sounds like you had fun.

My weekend was great.  H was back in town Friday evening, and we just relaxed, I made dinner at home...he ate out all week.  Then Saturday was errands, running around, watching football, more relaxing.

Sunday H replaced my kitchen faucet with a fancy dancy one, and a button for my disposal, which was super nice. I think he was more excited than I was.  We then got him all packed up for another week away.

I saw him off this morning, he didn't want to leave, but alas, training is important.

Next Wed!!!!!!

I can't wait to get out of this town for a few days.

I forgot to update on chicken finger guy. We never had date #2. I lost interest and I think he did too. I'm still open to fix ups from friends, but I hope they take both of our personalities in mind.

:::Didn't think I would still be getting fixed up at this point if life, but glad people are thinking of me::::

**O-Face**

Whew...no more chicken finger guy?  Dodged a bullet.  Yowza.

Do you have an hourly countdown yet on your departure time?

yay for painting!

and yay for getting out for charity walks; I'm on deck to do one through work it looks like (which isn't the norm for me

Friday we took the dog to the vets to get her stitches out--they're pretty  happy w/ how things look (YAY!) and then Dawg and Buffy and I spen tthe day w/ my folks.

Saturday, we ddi very little, kid was having a close to temper day.  But I got an awesome nap, got the grocery shopping done, and made my kickass honey maple pecan pork loin, which makes everyone happy.

Sunday, we went to church and I had to tuck my kid under my arm and go for a walk in the lobby in the middle of a sermon on "suffer the little children..."  We left in a sentence that was something along the lines of "A parent doesn't hate a chld for behaving like a child.  They love them, even when they try patience"

Yeah, the irony wasn't lost on me.  (we were fine, she just had to finish throwing her fit in the lobby, then we came back)

Then I had an awesome nap again, and we set up the basement better for the Mr. and I to hang out down there.  and exercise.

No, not hourly, but days.

I'm clearing off my desk of duties this week as we speak.

I hope it's not PUPPS and just an allergic reaction to something.   I went to my OB for everything (I don't think I saw my PCP at all for those 9  months) because I felt she knew better about what was safe for the baby.  .

weekend was good. we ate too much junk and DK ran his mudder. 

Fri: got a IR body wrap in the morning, ran a few last minute errands and went to lunch with DK (Fuddruckers), picked up Wolverine at daycare and drove to Austin. Got to the hotel around 4, hung out for a bit, then went to dinner (Carino's - Wolverine kept asking us for pizza, and I figured DK could use the carbs for his race.) Went to bed really early (before 10) so DK would be well rested. 

Sat: mudder. i'll make a new post.

Sun: packing a nd a little exploring in Austin. We need to go back sometime when we have more time to look around (and when the bats are there). Ate lunch a t Chupacabra's and then drove home. HUng out at home for the rest of the night.

Weekend was good.  Spent Friday and Saturday morning doing laundry and putting finishing touches on costumes.  Saturday was wedding and it was absolutely lovely.  We grabbed the wedding photog after the big group shot and B&G left and asked if she would take a nice photograph of us and she nicely agreed.  I'll share as soon as I have it, but the costumes were simply amazing.  We were awesome and had so many people talking to us about our costumes and taking pictures of us.  However, there was no thunderjacking, b/c the wedding parties outfits were AWESOME.  The bride's dress was ridiculously gorgeous. IDK where they got the fabric for that thing, but it was one of the prettiest things I'd ever seen.

Sunday was recovery from wedding and DH and dad fixing our electricity FINALLY.  It was such a simple fix, which was nice, but if we'd figured it out sooner, I would've been happier.

I admit, I was a bit of a mean person to one specific guest at the wedding.  DH said I wasn't rude, but it was my apparently "infamous" "kill you with cold politeness and eye daggers" attitude.  I also indulged in some gossip, which wasn't nice of me either.  I have some guilt, some smug self-satisfaction, some shame and mostly just glad it's over.  

We were able to reconnect with some people.  It's hard b/c those co-workers are still at the company and it always happens that you talk shop.  We get stuck between trying to move past it and people still wanting to complain to/with DH.  He said part of him was happy to know that his leaving has left both a huge personal and professional void there, but another part wishes that things would smooth over for those left.

Sounds like everyone had a decent weekend!  V- I can't wait for pictures.

It wasnt' bad. Friday night I made dinner, we relaxed. Saturday we cleaned house (DS helped- and surprisingly he was pretty helpful). Sunday DS was dying to get some pumpkins to decorate. We went to Target for groceries and I spent way to much money on fake pumpkins and decorations, but he spent the rest of the day playing with his pumpkins. He's got a collection of about 15- and he loves them. Today I've got to leave on a trip and I don't want to. I have a bunch of stuff I started this weekend, but didn't get a chance to finish and I'd rather be home.
