Weekend Randoms/Chatter 11-4

It's Friday night!  Mocktails all around ladies  . What's everyone up to this weekend?

We are having a birthday cookout for my mom tomorrow afternoon.  My dad works in Alabama so he only gets to visit occasionally (my mom goes between here and there to see him) so I am excited to spend some time with him.  I also am looking forward to watching some football with him.   Sunday will be taking down indoor Halloween decor, grocery shopping, maybe grading some papers and hopefully taking the kids to a local fall jamboree.

DH booked us a hotel for tomorrow night with an amazing downtown view of Dallas. We are going to have appetizers at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant (in the big ball) get some street food for dinner, and pig out on dessert.
then probably sleep in the next day for the first time in awhile. I'm so excited!

I'm so excited to see this thread! I'm so bored! The little ones in bed and this is usually when I have a few glasses of vino on Friday night! Buuuuut... Since the line turned pink, I'm laying in bed bumping instead!!!

Plenty of football watching this weekend and one of my favorite 10K runs of the year on Sunday.  If anyone knows the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (not the Bridge Tunnel) in Maryland, the 10K goes over the bridge and it's just a beautiful run.  It looks like we'll have perfect running weather for it too! I'm so glad that the night before the race is the night we get an extra hour of sleep.  Beyond football it will just be normal weekend cleaning, grocery shopping etc.  I'm not pushing to get too much done though, because whatever doesn't get finished I'll just push off until Tuesday since I have Election Day off.

Tomorrow my son is "racing" in a Disney kids race and Sunday I'm running a half marathon there. I already want to nap thinking about all these activities.

Working all weekend... nothing exciting there. Have the worst craving for a burger from the cafe down the road but my hubby took my debit card, I have no cash and they close in 10 minutes *sob*. Lol I guess I'll have to try again tomorrow.

MrsW524

@MotherofDragons  Good luck with your half marathon! I want to do a Disney one so badly someday, but the planning makes it tough.  Mostly it's the fact that they seem to all be on Sundays and taking off a Monday is nearly impossible.  Have fun!

DD1's birthday is Sunday.  She chose to have it at a bowling alley this year.  So we're doing that and going to a Mongolian restaurant after.

Today we are cleaning, shopping, and football watching.

Yesterday I took a personal day. My son had his one year well child visit, vaccines, and blood draw. Then we went grocery shopping for the rest of his birthday party supplies. My mom helped me make the centerpieces and assembly all the decorations. In the evening my best friend from college came to spend the night as she travels back to Oklahoma with her mom and dog. We caught up on life and went out to dinner. 

This morning my son and I ran a quick errand and headed to his second swim lesson. Now he's napping and I probably will too. 

Tomorrow his first birthday party!! I'm getting nervous about making sure it all comes together properly. My mom is helping but her idea of help is controlling and side eyeing all of my ideas. Ugh. Hopefully it all goes well and everyone has fun!

Thursday was our anniversary and yesterday was DDs bday so we are on a weekend getaway to Portland.

Any must hit places for a toddler?

I completely slept in, which was needed. Going to clean and start doing some packing for our eventual move. We have a party tonight. Tomorrow I work. We bought a business a month ago and both kept our full-time jobs. So, it's been lots-o-work.

Last night I played designated driver to my DH and inlaws. My father in law retired yesterday so we went brewery hopping. It wasn't as bad as I expected it to be with not being able to partake in the adult beverages. Everyone seemed to have had a good time. I'm working today for a few hours and then we are watching the Virginia Tech game (Go Hokies!). DH has to work nightshift which means it's a girls night out...minus any wine for me. Womp womp. It will be a fun night!

I'm sick. Ridiculous. 2 weeks in a row and I am wrecked. I have a concert at 11pm tonight and I just want to stay in bed. Also, I'm suddenly super anxious about being pregnant with my second. But I think its just because I spent the last two weeks either stomach virusing or serious chest colding with no sleep. Did I mention I don't want to play tonight? 
I even failed at finding a decent gif for all of this whining. 

Anyway, anyone else suddenly anxious about this pregnancy?

Today we stood in line in the North End in Boston for 3 hours to meet Tomie de Paola.  Totally worth the wait!

@loopstation104 My anxiety comes and goes with it... My first has been a walk in the park. Of course she has her moments, but as far as breastfeeding, sleeping, temperament... She's been absolutely wonderful. I keep waiting for the tides to change, but she's seriously like an angel child. I don't think I'll get that lucky twice.

I hear ya. I don't even know specifically what I'm anxious about. But, I finished playing the concert and I'm in bed and feel better already. 

Although...

I think I'm worried I can't handle 2. I've been so short tempered these 2 weeks while being sick and working a lot with my DS. And he's been such a sweetie this week. Maybe that's it.

I spent Friday night in bed. I just had no motivation to do anything. Yesterday I took my DD to my parents house for lunch. Then I went out with my best friend for her 30th bday. We went to a Greek place and it was SO good. Today I have to finish a final paper for my master's practicum. Booo.

So I made this lovely chicken dinner for my family...

I bought the chicken pre-stuffed and seasoned ready to go in the oven, figured it would be easy. The minute I cut it up open, I said "oh no, not for me". The chicken aversion has set in. So I serve my husband and daughter the chicken, and fix myself some toast. I finish my toast, get up from the table, cough on a toast crumb, and proceed to throw up (out of nowhere, all over, like a child!). I just stood there in shock, as did my poor husband and daughter.

I think I'll be putting myself to bed now.

@mamaelle27 hope the sleep helps, feel better!

@mamaelle27, Oh dear! You poor thing. Tomorrow is a new day! 

FSUNole31

@mamaelle27 oh no!!  Hope you get some sleep and tomorrow is a better food day.

@Mother0fDragons how was it? This is my first time missing W&D since 2011. It was my absolute favorite (even though last year was a nightmare) because I love night races. So bummed they changed it this year.

Today didn't go how it was supposed to. Woke up to my three year old dog dead. And then my mom and I got in a huge fight was setting up my sons first birthday party. Ugh. I think I need a bubble bath

@kassyfry @mamaelle27 :-( 

FSUNole31

Oh @kassyfry I am so sorry about your dog.  That sucks about the fight with your mom too.  

sjohns908

@kassyfry I'm so sorry about your dog, that's awful.  I'm sorry you had a fight with your mom too. Definitely take some time to chill tonight 

Assiram42

Sorry about your day and dog, @kassyfry

silliegirlie143

@kassyfry NOOOOO!!! 

Wino0920

kfry22

Thanks everyone. Definitely not how yesterday was supposed to go for sure.
