Re: Weekend Plans?

  • This is the first weekend in I don't know how long that I don't have the whole thing mapped out!

    Today - my ILs are coming into town. I am going to meet them and L at the kids' school for their holiday performance this evening. I am sure we will all go to dinner after the show.

    Tomorrow - I think I am going to send L and her parents with the kids to swimming lessons while I get to Target early to do the holiday shopping for the family the clinic is sponsoring. No idea what we'll do once we are all done with our respective jobs.

    Sunday - No clue what we'll do. Hopefully stay out of the malls. :)

  • well, we were supposed to be celebrating Hanukkah w/ the fam up in boston this weekend but due to a death in the family, it has been cancelled leaving things up in the air.  Tonight will be the usual.  Tomorrow we'll see the family to exchange gifts at some point, but just briefly.  The rest of the weekend is TBD...I've got a groupon to a childrens museum thats expiring soon so maybe we'll do that.
  • Tonight-  Heading into Annapolis to get this Chia Pet on top of my head tamed by our hairdresser.  Finishing getting our house back in order between work DW getting her Master's, me getting set up to start my Master's, and TTC we have a LARGE pile of laundry.

    Tomorrow- Monitoring and then taking our sperm tank to our REs main office for storage.  DW started out like a freight train with her follies this month and now they wanna mover SLOWWWWW.  So weird that on 50 of clomid she sped up like 10 days but on 100 she is back to normal but with more follies.

    Sunday- Hopefully we will be insemenating...this is DWs last time and we are switching to me until summer...my sweet sweet wife got so angry with her body the other day for moving slowly I really hope this one works Huh?

     We are hosting two xmas dinners and two breakfasts that we need to shop for.  More traditional turkey/ham kinda thing for my family on xmas day and breakfast is our early serving of creamed chipped beef.  The day after we are hosting her family from MA who are coming in late xmas night.  We are going italian with chicken parm and lasagna.  Dont tell them but it is going to be healthy with lots of whole grains and low fat.  Then the RAVENS GAME.

    We had three BFN in the Fall of 2011. It is back on to some baby making come June. Swim little fellas, SWIM!!!!
  • Weekend is blissfully free of plans, which is good since we both need the rest. Jen had a long week at work and I have a terrible cold/sinus/something. We're going to Oregon on Wednesday so I don't need to grocery shop. I need to finish shopping for Jen and my brother. We might have brunch with a friend on Sunday. That's it.

  • I don't know. she's working OT both nights. I'm not feeling well (already called off once this week and may leave early today) so I might just hang out with the boy at home. hopefully I'll feel well enough to do some baking, if not maybe it'll be a movie afternoon. other than me trying to get some baking done we have no plans that I can think of. if I'm feeling decent maybe we'll try to get to the zoo on Sunday.
  • Not much.  No plans for tonight, I will probably do movie night in the afternoon, we haven't had a movie night in awhile.  Tomorrow night we are celebrating my birthday (it was last Saturday but A was with her Dad) at a teppan place then going to a ritzy neighborhood that has an amazing light display.  No plans that I know of for Sunday.
  • Too much! Smile

    Tonight we're going to a holiday party at our friends'. We don't see them as often as we would like, and the other couples who come to stuff at their house are also awesome. It's always great to see them.

    Tomorrow: Post office, Christmas shopping, and collapsing on the couch at the end of the day!

    Sunday: Maybe some more shopping if we can't get everything done tomorrow. We're SO late this year!

  • Wifey and I are chillaxin tonight, then tomorrow afternoon we're flying to Vegas until Monday night.  Woo hoo!  This is our Christmas/Hanukkah present to each other.  We're pretty excited to be going away this weekend and having fun.  I like to gamble and wifey likes to enjoy my free drinks! hahaha.  bottled water for me and a beer for the wife!

  • Tonight: We're going to Detroit to see Wicked!  We're going with a friend and stopping at one of my favorite Detroit restaurants for dinner.  I'm very excited.

    Saturday: We are finally going to put up our Christmas tree.  I will probably spend most of the day Christmas crafting - I have three or four projects to finish up that need to be mailed on Monday, including my ornament for my secret elf.  In the evening we are going to a Christmas costume ball.

    Sunday: Chores and maybe some work.  My last day is next Friday, so I am feeling a little swamped with loose ends to tie up/

  • Tonight: errands and hopefully finishing up getting E's stocking gifts, etc.

    Tomorrow: picking up the prints from E's photo shoot for family gifts, finally putting the lights on our tree so E and I can decorate it early next week. Tomorrow night I'm going to a gay-themed holiday event with some acquaintances I'm trying to get to know better.

    Sunday: In the morning I'm meeting my realtor friend to go look at a couple of houses. Am I crazy to do this at the same time my job is moving...yes! There's that saying about too many major life changes at the same time... But I came across a home that I'm quite interested in and they are anxious to sell. I don't want to miss out on the possibility. I have decided that staying in the suburb we are currently in is our best option for owning a home that I can afford and hopefully has the features we need. And now that my work is going to be closer to home I am ready to start seeing what's out there. My goal is to have us moved before E starts first grade in the fall, so I have time, but some of the deals right now are worth seeing. After that, probably some chores at home, grocery shopping, etc.

  • We took today off to get ready for the holiday party we're throwing tomorrow night, so spent most of the day shopping for food and booze.  Got the holiday cards mailed and also had our consult with the RE, which went really well.  She said she can set me up to get all the diagnostic tests (ultrasound, HSG, FSH etc) and a thyroid test when my next cycle starts and if all is well we can still do an IUI with our midwives that cycle (which is nice because I like them and they have my last vial of sperm).  If the tests come out well we may stay unmedicated for at least the next one.  She did not seem to feel Clomid was necessary at this point.  Come on January baby!

    Tomorrow is all cooking and cleaning.  We have 25 people coming and we're serving dinner so it will be a lot of work, but I'm looking forward to everyone actually getting here.  I imagine Sunday will consist of clean-up and vegging -- we'll be pretty tired.

  • Weekend: Regroup after crazy stressful week at work, ending with new owner deciding she doesn't need a manager (me) after all.  Tongue Tied  It's okay, I am actually a bit relieved--things had been so tense.  And, it's hard to be sad when I realize I'll be spending more time gazing at that sweet face!  

     L is super supportive and told me to not even LOOK for a job until after Christmas.  So, Pumpkin will stay out of daycare a little longer and I'll regroup. 

    This weekend--START wrapping presents, etc. And get into the spirit!

    Erat, I'm sorry to hear about your job but hope this opens up new opportunities for you.  And I'm glad you'll get a little more time with Pumpkin!
