How was the weekend?

Saturday we took the kids to a Lakeshore Learning store for a free craft and to scope out the gift ideas.  I'd never been before but it was really cute. Then we took them to lunch where they were awesome angels. This gives me hope we might be able to do dinner sometime.

Sunday morning there were words in our house.  Every member of my house seems to think cleaning up means shoving things places. I can accept it in a 23 month old, maybe in a 3.5 yo, possibly in a 6 yo, but in a 37 yo!  BS.  Especially because he also lets the others get away with it.

I calmed down and the rest of the day was smoking turkey, brisket, chicken drumsticks, and ham.  We did some other little house things and I WORKED an hour.

This is a busy week.  We have our huge event Thursday.  Last year it was 80 people, right now we have 144 confirmed and there could be walk ins.  OUR SPEAKER IS MIA! I've managed to log 90 minutes of work this am too.

    My weekend was good.  Saturday, DH had to work.  I left the kids home alone to go grocery shopping and make some returns.  I was 5 min from the house and the kiddo was bribed with Starbucks.  I can't believe he's going to be 14 in a month.  Saturday afternoon, we went to a friends house to visit with friends and play.  My friend's daughter was so excited about DefConn coming over.  She said, "Mommy, is DefConn my friend that's a boy, but has pretty long hair like a girl?"

    Sunday-We went to the IL's for an early Thanksgiving/bday celebration.  BIL came back from Korea on Thursday and he and SIL are going to GA this coming Thursday (that's where their new base is) and he won't be back until the move at Christmas (SIL will come back the Tues before Thanksgiving).  BIL's parents came for dinner as well and my mom just helped them sell BIL's grandma's house (she passed in Sept).  BIL's mom went on and on about how much she loved my mom.  I love hearing that from other people.

    Also, due to a situation this weekend, the drama train has left the station.  In the scheme of things, it's not a big deal...but there's high trainwreck potential and that may be amusing to watch.

    I ended up in the ER/L&D due to some tightening feelings yesterday. Everything looked good, the baby had the hiccups when we looks on the ultrasound, and the diagnosis was dehydration.

    Weekend went really well.  H and BILs nearly finished the siding on Saturday---I made my errand run before 9:30 that morning, but made lunch for them.  I helped when needed, and just stayed inside packing a few boxes and being available just in case.  That night I had dinner with a friend, it was so much fun.  I get all weepy about new friends because it's so hard to connect with people but I enjoy her company and she is such a great person to have around.

    Sunday, I actually met ANOTHER friend for breakfast in a town about 40 miles north.  I have the serious baby rabies.  My brain is on some internal "countdown" and whenever I bring it up with H, he's oddly silent.  I hate to corner him like a scared animal...but comeon now! 

    Sunday---FIL called and asked about something silly, and I helped him.  But the big doozy is when he told me that all of the kids (H and sibs) are coming to Thanksgiving at his MIL's house because of various reasons and even youngest SIL is coming.  That leaves MIL with recently deceased mother with no one.  I'm sure she'll just blow this WAYYYY into the atmosphere.  But at this point, I don't think any of her kids can be asked to give one flying *you know what*.

    The pattern has repeated itself and youngest 17 y.o. SIL is either living with her boyfriend or will be soon living with other SIL.  All but 1 of the kids moved out of MIL's house before they graduated HS.  It's crazy, but I suppose it's at least consistent.

    Good reason to put your feet up and take it easy, Dixie.  Easier said than done, but still.

    Good weekend.  Second to last soccer game, and DD was in good spirits even though it was an early one and she is so not a morning person.  My mom watched the kids while DH and I test drove cars, and we've decided what we want, so now DH is getting bids and stuff.  He loves negotiating so he is having a great time, and I love not dealing with any of it.  Tell me when we're picking up the car, and I'm good.

    Took the kids hiking yesterday and I carried DS in the backpack for most of the way.  He is such a hair-toucher now, with everyone but especially me.  He held onto my ponytail most of the time, like those baby chimps clinging to their mom's fur.  DD got to be line leader and she was in her element--she kept an eye out for trail markers, did her best to read the signs, and alerted us to tree roots, rocks, "scratchy branches," and other potential hazards. 

    I leave for my trip tomorrow and DD is breaking my heart.  She keeps telling me that she doesn't want me to go, and she's made me a pile of drawings and homemade cards to take along "so [I] won't be too lonely."  I wish I could take her with me.  It's a quick trip, and at least I get to meet up with my dad and brother for dinner tomorrow night.  Barring any weather or other flight delays, I'll be home for bedtime Wednesday.

    The weekend was good.

    We didn't do much.  Got a couple xmas presents, a friend came over Saturday.

    DH is off today.  We're planning to get our bedroom in order.  The clothes have taken over.  We have to get our summer stuff put away in tubs and up in the attic.

    This weekend was awesome. Friday night I stayed up way too late and was at a friend's house. I got up with the kid on Saturday and started working on cleaning the house. Then DH and I went out for dinner and ended up at Total Wine buying a bunch of beer. Then we went home and watched more of The Blacklist. Sunday was laid back- did some cleaning, but mostly just sat around the house. It's been so long since we've had a weekend like that it was nice to be lazy bums.
