How was your weekend?

Saturday, we completed our paperwork and then I spent a fair amount of time packing.  Sunday, we moved a pick-up-truck-load of stuff to the new condo.  I measured and vacuumed/dusted.  H cleaned the a/c up for me, and took notes for getting me a programmable thermostat.  I still need to clean though.  I know tenants are supposed to "clean" when they move out, but no one REALLY cleans.  We wandered the condo property and checked stuff out.

And then I made three (3!) trips to the store for things I needed, things I'd forgotten and then things for work.  Ugh.  And was still up til midnight doing this or that. 

My arms today are on fire and I am worn the hell out.  But I'm really looking forward to moving in completely.

    I'm really kind of shocked at how helpful your H is being, but hey, I guess being adult means acting like one sometimes, right? 

    I'm glad to hear you're on your way, Nico.

    This weekend I spent lots of alone time, H was helping doing stuff at his gma's and then IDPA and now for the first sunday of each month he'll be GLUED to IDPA.  Which is alright by me, dude needs more hobbies that get him friends.

    I watched Love & Other Drugs (lots of tittay) and Winter's Bone (recommend highly).  I also ate: swedish fish (meh x1000), reeses pieces (yay), skinny girl margarita (super yay) and some other random crap.  It was a great weekend.

    YAY!  sounds awesome.

    dh and i finished our taxes, updated our budget and cleaned.  we got a babysitter and we went out on saturday night.  it was nice.

    the babysitter was hilarious.  she is a recommendation from a friend, and the friend said, "the only thing i don't like about her is that a few years ago, she spilled a little water on noah's baby book."  yeah, i dropped some crackers on baby mo's face on sunday and was tres lucky that no salt got into his eyes, so the babysitter is just fine with me.

    Sounds good, Nico.

    Saturday we had our last baby massage class and then spent the afternoon with a friend who moved back to L.A. She hadn't seen DD since the day she was born.

    Yesterday we spent the day with a friend, her husband and their 20 month old. This friend was actually my sister's childhood best friend. We hated each other then and now as adults we have a good time together. They're out here for a month and I'm looking forward to seeing more of her.

    DD started responsively smiling a couple of days ago. That has made everything totally worth all of the frustration and difficulties.

    That sounds wonderful, Skankenstein. It sounds like you and your H are still on good terms, and that will hopefully make everything that much easier.

    My weekend was great. My dad came into town on Friday, so we've spent the weekend with him. Yesterday we went to the zoo, which was great.

    He was going to drive a van he bought at the auction home today, but decided to stay and babysit Baby A instead. Before I had even gotten to my office, he sent me a picture of himself with a spit up stain on his shirt.

    I'm exhausted today. I had a cup of decaf coffee last night at like 9, and I'm thinking it was not so decaf. I had an awful night's sleep, and my hamstrings are super sore from Yoga Rocks yesterday morning.

    I'm just very impressed and happy for you that things are so civil, nico.  I know it's still incredibly difficult for you guys, but I'm just glad things are going so smoothly.

    Saturday and Sunday I helped DH put up drywall in Son's soon-to-be new bedroom.  We had taken down the paneling earlier in March and discovered an 8 ft long by 1 1/2 ft tall hole in the wall that has a window.  There was also zero insulation.

    So we stuffed insulation and fixed the hole.  I feel like a she-woman. :)  My mom and grandma are coming up this weekend to help us paint the room, since DH has zero patience when it comes to painting.  I feel very happy with the progress that we've made.  We may actually be ready for this baby to be here in 3 months.

    Sheetrocking is hard ( and messy) work Taw.  You're awesome.

    And LS, there is still some caffeine in decaf or the people who sold it to you were lying liars.

    Yeah, no one warned me about that.  Also, I went out and bought gloves and respirator masks for us to wear during the insulation part.  DH tried to explain to me that insulation is not as dangerous as it once was, but I figured better to be safe (me being pregnant and DH with open wounds on his finger) than sorry.

    It was a "Donut Shop Extra Bold Decaf" K-cup. I was in the mood for something warm before bed. Poor judgment on my part.

    I had a great weekend.

    Count me on the bandwagon of people who are impressed with how cordial you and your stbx still are.  That will make it a lot easier to coparent.

    Friday we hung out at the house. H asked me if I was ready to hear more bad news....his parents have decided to put his grandfather in a home. While this isn't the worst news, it is devastating to H. We cried.

    Saturday, we went to the fair. Woody did very well on the leash and loved getting all the pets from people in the park. Then we cleaned up and organized the garage. H even threw away a bunch of the beer bottles he was hoarding for brewing. HUZZAH!!!!!! While he mowed, I weeded the front yard.

    Sunday - back to the fair! When we got home we bathed the dogs, then ourselves. After that, we kind of just lounged around. We had a salad for dinner, to make up for the corn dogs, funnel cake and fried pickles.

    I reached the end of my patience with spring break. Thank God I didn't wake up this morning only to find she didn't have school today (she did; but this happened the Monday after Christmas break.). 

    It snowed last night, and H moved the giant ice scraper, so I spent 20 fcking minutes chipping away at my windshield with the stupid plastic one that doesn't reach the middle. It was fun. 

    I'm in a funk. I have some writer's block and the weather's changing and I'm just irritated by everything. Also, there's no food in the house, and that's a whole other irritation, and means I've been eating crap food for the last couple days and I'm totally feeling the ill-effects. 

    Maybe I'll take myself to the movies in a little bit.

    Mine was fine, what little I had of it. Yesterday was a much-needed day of rest for the most part. We went and visited H's Mom, who we hadn't seen in over a month, and it was really nice to see her. We also went to Target for grocery shopping and got in some good judging.

    Pretty good, but uneventful.  A little running around on Saturday, returning things at various places and getting a new file cabinet and office cart at Office Depot.  On Sunday, I started the mammoth task of organizing the office/junk room.  I only made a small dent, but at least I started.  Also, finally watched all my DVR'd episodes of "The Living Dead."

    Saturday, we slept in.  The kiddo stayed at my IL's Friday night, so it was just me, DH, and DefConn.  We got up and went to the store (DefConn's first trip out and mine too since being home).  Then we just hung out and waited for my IL's to come for dinner. 

    Yesterday, my mom came over and made us breakfast.  Then my dad and sister's showed up and hung out for the day.  It was my dad's first time meeting DefConn.  They seem to like each other.  My parents brought lasagna for dinner.  After everyone left, we just hung out until bedtime.

    Yay for civil and helpful stbxh :)

    It was a mixed bag. 
    The good: got a hike in with LO, yanked the sh!t out of the weeds in the front yard.  There's not much more satisfying than pulling up a 4 foot length of bermuda grass from the ground.

    The not so good: I wanted to get some apps for iPod, get some music off of DH's iPod, so I went in and got what I wanted, downloaded the freeware I needed for 2 way transfer, updated iTunes as well.  Upon updating my iPod with the apps, it got stuck somewhere on synchronizing and had to force quit.  Fail!  Corrupted my iPod, had to reformat my iPod.  All my music and TV shows completely gone Frown

    Then I docked up DH's iPod to get music off his.  Transfer went OK, tried to undock.  It farted on ejecting properly and reformtted his too, all his music gone Embarassed.  Fortunately he's a laptop packrat and had all his music still in iTunes, so he could put it all back.

    Oh, and LO was in paroxysms of happy this weekend.  Smiley, chatty and extra spazzy.  So cute?  Don't know what we were doing that was so amusing.

    Mine was the best weekend I've had in a long time! It was four days long, so that was amazing. On Thursday we bought that Yaris that I was talking about last week, and I loves it, and also we tried a new restaurant and it was tasty. On Friday I got the paperwork from the insurance company, and they are going to completely pay off our Prius, so i'm beyond relieved about that. Also I made cupcakes. On Saturday we went over to my moms and my brother and youngest neice came over, so we got to hang out with them. Then we went out for a friends birthday and that actually sucked, turns out they're boring. Then on Sunday we woke up super late and BIL and SIL and cute nephews came over, and then we went to champagne brunch, the DH and I laid out in the sun (yay!), took a nap, and ate a lot. It was wonderful.
    But then last night my H's alergies kicked in and he was whiny and sick all night. I was ready to smother him a pillow, but since he's sick and missed work, that meant I got to drive to work instead of taking the bus. Yay!
