  Boo for sleep deprivation + weak coffee.
  
  It rained all. weekend.  All of it.  It's raining now.  OTOH, we were in a drought, so it's good--I think we may be out of it now.  OTOH, I wouldn't mind a clear, sunny day now and then.  Preferably now.
  
  Wooz and I took a colossal nap while the boys played Sat.  She was wiped out after swim, I was sick, and we both just crashed.  Ordered a pizza, put in Inside Out* and called it a night.  I think we're at the point where if she continues with both swim and riding, we need to split them up into different days.  It was one thing when she was just paddling around the shallow end, but they're both pretty physically demanding now.
  
  I'm a little obsessed with our TG road trip.  I ordered a bunch of car organizers yesterday.  Damn, I love me some organizers.
  
  * I took Wooz to see Inside Out when it was at the theater this summer.  DH hadn't seen it.  When Joy is in the memory dump looking at old Riley memories and says "Remember how she used to stick her tongue out when she was coloring?...I could listen to her stories, all day" I was trying not to be weepy and then I saw him sitting there trying to act like he wasn't going to cry.  And then the Bing Bong part killed us both, I had to pass the Kleenex.

  glad you're making lemonade. 
  
  Our weekend was busy. Mom and Dad were visiting, so Wolverine had a blast playing with her grandparents. They got in on Friday (they were in south TX for a few days and stopped to see us before they went home) so we just relaxed at home that night. We spent Saturday at a bowling alley and went our for dinner. Sunday, the weather was beautiful (sunny, low 70s, not too humid) and we spent the day at a local farm. The monarchs are migrating through TX right now, and I got some (IMHO) fantastic shots.

  This weekend was great- slept in on Saturday, got my hair done, took DS to a birthday party (more on that), then did some cleaning on Sunday. Unfortunately, it's now Monday and I'm back to 100% stress and problems with work. It's been 4 unrelenting weeks like this and my manager knows but it's just leaving me drained. Mentally, my mind is in too many places and I can just see how it is impacting me. Tomorrow I am going out of town for 2 days (work related) and the COO is going to be there on Wednesday. So no pressure right?
  
  About this birthday party... DS is an awkward kid. I've noticed that while he really wants to be social he has a hard time introducing himself or getting started with other kids. So in the car ride over, I told him all he has to do is just say "Hi I'm ZZZSDA, can I play with you?" and if they say no, just move on and realize they won't know how cool he is. So we get there, he does that, and the kids do play with him. But during the day, I am talking to other parents and I find out that he is the class clown. And the girls love it. I ask DS about it in the car and he's like "oh yeah, girl 1, girl 2, and girl 3 are always asking me to chase them and play games." I asked him if he did and of course the response is "No, I don't think they really like me and I don't want them to make fun of me". So then we had to explain that they wanted to be chased by him because they did in fact like him. 100% his father's child.

  DS wants us to buy this movie, and I do want to, but I don't want to cry like that. It was fine in a dark theatre, but not at home.

  I blubbered like a fool at Inside Out.  So much in there for adults and children alike.  The depression was perfectly done and handled, IMHO.

  
  

  This week is so busy, it's making me tired already.  But after this weekend, I'll have a break and maybe I can snuggle my husband and relax some.  His semester is almost over too, so that's good.

  I want to see Inside Out so bad. 

  
  

  The weekend was good for the most part.  DH having to work Saturday morning was a buzzkill.  I love my new hair color.  The party was a blast. 

  
  

  The kiddo is still struggling with post-filling pain, so I have to take him to a specialist this afternoon.  They left me a message regarding how much it's going to cost if they have to do a root canal.  ::le sigh:: 

  
  

  FIL is being a giant baby about Thanksgiving for some reason.  We're hosting and I'm glad we are now.  MIL is in no shape to return to work next week (after surgery), much less host a holiday.  Since we're hosting, we've invited both sides of the family.  Everyone is contributing something.  We're smoking the turkeys on the giant smoker I bought DH this summer. 

  
  

  FIl was all, "That's going to be a lot of work!" (Work that he always bitches about doing...He's seriously always in a shitty mood when they host a holiday) And, "So everyone's going to be sitting separate?!" (Uhm, we all sit in 3 different rooms when everyone is around for the holidays at their house...and no table is going to have less than 4 people at it). And the kicker, "So, we're just never going to host a holiday again, huh?  Everyone's just going to come to YOUR house?" (I had to look away so I could roll my eyes so hard at this)  

  
  

  DH grew up going IL to do TG with FIL's side of the family.   So it's not like the IL's hosted TG every year or anything.  I think he's annoyed we invited my whole family (whom, when he's around them, he seems to like).  But he can suck it.  If I'm hosting, everyone is welcome.

  When Wooz and I saw it in the theater, at the Bing Bong part she looked over and asked if I was crying.  I said "A little" and she said "I'm not!"  Good for you, cyborg.
