Flamingemu · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? I am a consultant so I work during the week, but have weekend work every once in a while.

2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? Sleeping in for me is 7:30 or 8, I wish it was later.

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? Friday nights are usually dinner out and then relaxing. I prefer that to Saturdays out.

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? Both. One day I stay pretty idle either reading or watching movies, the other day is a rush to get things done. It's the best of both worlds for me.

5) What have you been up to this weekend? Yesterday I watched movies and painted a bunch of letters for our alphabet wall. Today is a little shopping, cleaning, and our hospital tour.

bakingkitty · July 2012

1. I work all but one weekend a month. I work in retail. 2. I try to sleep in as long as my schedule dictates I can. Although last Saturday I had to be at work at 5:30 am. 3. Weekends really don't hold significance to me. We usually call the night before my days off "Friday" 4. When I get my days off they usually are for relaxing and small chores. I try and make sure that everything is kept up with. 5. I have worked a 9 hr shift yesterday and the same today but I am off tomorrow and Tuesday!!

MeNV · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do?

Right now, yes and it's wonderful. I work for a university ant typically work summer weekends because our office runs a lot of camps and conferences. I haven't been assigned lead on anything from June 30th on because I'm a high risk pregnancy and they didn't want to chance me not being there. Yay! My DH is an archaeologist on leave for the first time in our ten years together so he is actually in town this summer. It's pretty much the best ever.

2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends?

Til seven or so. Normally I'm at work by that time so it's nice.

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays?

Saturday! Total free day without the dread of Monday hanging over the afternoon/evening.

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done?

Good mix. We do it right around here.

5) What have you been up to this weekend?

We did home and yard projects in the morning and BBQ'd up at Lake Tahoe for dinner yesterday. I want to wash, rinse and repeat but I might settle for filling up the kiddie pool tonight to save gas.

GeorgiaYankee · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? We're both off. I SAH so I'm always here, and DH is a CPA and has a traditional 9-5 M-F schedule.

2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? Not since DD was born. DH will get up with her most weekends and let me sleep a little later, but once she's up I'm awake. I won't sleep past 8:30. 9:00 is an absolute luxury. I used to sleep until 10:00 or 11:00 on Saturdays easily.

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? Right now I love Fridays. DH gets off at 1:00 or so, so we have all afternoon and evening as a family. The whole weekends still ahead of us and I feel like we don't have to do anything we don't want to do.

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? A mix of both depending what's on our to-do list.

5) What have you been up to this weekend? Nothing too exciting. Hanging with the ILs who are in town for a few days. They did take DD last night so we could have a date night. That was nice!

Good morning, y'all!
1) I use to work weekends which is one reason I am unemployed. So glad to finally be able to have my weekends free. Weekends should be about family and time spent doing the activities you love. After working two jobs (sometimes three) I deserve it. I do coach high school bowling in the winter and that takes up Saturdays. NO MORE WORKING ON FOOTBALL SUNDAY! New rule for my house.
2) No, SO is up usually by 6:30. He slept like a prince today though with the fan on, AC blasting, etc. FINALLY!
3) Football Sundays by far are the best part of the weekend.
4) Right now weekends are no different than weekdays.
5) SO had a softball tourney. It was too hot for words. I went and bought two new tires. I had a blowout on one and a nail in the other. In 30 years of my life this has never happened. I also went and bought my Chicco Key Fit 30 Travel System in Gemini.
good question linzee!

cmuslp10 · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? Right now we both have weekends off...I am a school based speech language pathologist and DH is an firefighter on the M-F shift. However, because of his job, he is ALWAYS on call day or night. Once baby arrives he will go back to 12 hour shifts and rotations, so he will work every other weekend.

2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? I do. DH doesn't really - he gets up with the dogs.

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? Fridays - that's when DH is antsy and wants to go out.

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? Lately, getting things done! But now the nursery is all done, and we're not starting the backyard fence for a few weeks, we have a break (minus a wedding next Saturday).

5) What have you been up to this weekend? Friday was date night, nothing exciting, but it was nice to have an evening with just him. Yesterday we went to the art fair and walked around. Today, hopefully, we can go to Target (closest is an hour away).

isacdimi10 · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? DH works weekends. He works at a nursing home

2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? Not usually (kids wake at 6am) but today they let me sleep in until 8. It was heaven.

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? Sunday night because DH comes home

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? mostly relaxed, not much I can do.

5) What have you been up to this weekend? Hiding in the house all day with the AC on .

KrystalsKitsch · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? Usually off weekends! I work at a nonprofit art center.

2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? Kind of. Yesterday I slept til 10am and today I was up at 8am which is typically when I wake up on a weekday anyway.

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? I'm usually exhausted by the time Friday night rolls around... so Saturday?

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? A mix of both. Lately we have had plans every weekend so this weekend was the first weekend in a while we had nothing to do. We took advantage of it by cleaning!

5) What have you been up to this weekend? I washed a million loads of laundry, we cleaned and mopped floors, I assembled some baby stuff so I could get the nursery more organized... Pretty exciting stuff, huh?

knitstrong · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? I'm a SAHM and my husband is a judicial clerk, so usually we can spend the weekends together. However, he is studying for the bar exam right now, so he doesn't really have any days "off" until three weeks from now when the exam is over.

2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? I have a fifteen month old who wakes up between 7 and 7:30 every morning.

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? Under normal (non-bar-exam-preparation) circumstances, I prefer Saturdays. We can have a lazy morning together and then go out to do errands or get stuff done around the house.

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? I generally try to get my normal housework done during the week so that the weekends can be more low-key. Since my husband works Monday through Friday, Saturday is his day to get his stuff done, so I help him with whatever he needs or wants to do. We don't do any shopping or housework on Sundays -- we go to church and then spend the rest of the day relaxing.

5) What have you been up to this weekend? Staying out of this crazy heat! I have been slacking off with my housework lately, so I got somewhat caught up yesterday during a (rare) surge of energy while the baby was napping. Nothing much on tap for today, just hanging out with my daughter while my husband is off studying. Did I mention that I cannot wait until he is done with the bar exam?

Good morning, y'all!
1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? We are off about 90%of the time.
2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? Not since DD was born.
3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? Days because that is when we do things. Evenings are spent in, either cleaning up or recuperating after the baby's in bed.
4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? Mostly getting things done. I hope we can find a better balance soon after DH finishes school-only 9 more months.
5) What have you been up to this weekend? We set up DD's new room! She loves it. We just have a tad more decorating to do then 100% done. Next weekend we'll get back into the nursery and work on revamping that for DD2.

jenguinbear · July 2012

linzeek44:
1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? MH has weekends off unless he has duty on the ship (24 hours every 6th day). I work at a gym that is open 7 days a week so I get two days off sometime between Sunday and Saturday. Those two days vary week to week. So I don't get a normal weekend and it's usually either a Saturday or a Sunday off with the other day during the week off. It sucks.
2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? I sleep in everyday when I can. I work from 2pm to 10pm during the week and 11-7 on weekends/holidays when I'm scheduled. I take H into work at 6:30 then go back home and go to sleep until I start getting ready for work.
3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? I forget what they feel like but I think I like Friday nights the best because it's the day to go out and release all the frustrations from the week.
4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? Hmm. Since I typically get one day off on the weekend, I have to try to pack in all of that in one day. Sleeping in, recovering from the week, getting things done, and preparing for the upcoming week. It sucks, like I said.
5) What have you been up to this weekend? I actually was able to take a little time off and H had an extended weekend, so we went to Korea (Busan and Seoul).

Bookelly · July 2012

1) We have most weekends off, but work on occasion. I have a second job as a substitute librarian, and work as needed; DH sells wine, so he works weekends from October-December (aka 'busy season').

2) Since I start work at 7 am, I'm up on weekdays around 5:30. On weekends, I sleep till 7:30ish, but I don't think most people would count that as sleeping in.

3) Sundays = brunch, crosswords, and (soon) Football!!!!

4) During the school year, I get stuff done. Since I'm off for the summer, I'm trying to use them to relax with DH as much as humanly possible before our world is permanently rocked .

5) DH was OOT on Friday and Saturday, so I did laundry, cleaned house, and watched WAY more Investigation Discovery than is normal.

Sarah10612 · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do?

Depends on the week...I am a 911 dispatcher and have a rotating schedule....DH is a police lieutenant so, he normally works M-F 7-3 but if something happens and he is needed, he goes to work...

2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends?

I slept til 930a today...That never happens. I guess the third trimester is really running it's course...

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays?

Mostly Saturday's. I feel like I get the most done...

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done?

Half and Half

5) What have you been up to this weekend?

We went to Cape May, NJ on Thursday and came home yesterday....Today is a lazy nap and yardwork day.

Shazzie116 · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? I have weekends off if I don't have any photo jobs. DH works one weekend day each week, depending on his rotation.

2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? It depends on what we have going on. If we don't have anything to get up and do, we will sleep until 9-ish.

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? Sundays tend to be the most relaxing.

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? I try to get stuff done on Friday nights or Saturday mornings so I can enjoy the days off that I have.

5) What have you been up to this weekend? We had a birthday party for DH yesterday, which was really fun. He is working today so I am working on some photos and I plan on starting baby girl's quilt later.

MeatballEsq · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? I typically have weekends off unless I'm super busy. DH is a firefighter so he works a lot of weekends. He rarely has an entire weekend off.

Good morning, y'all!
1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do?
We're both currently working 9-5s so weekends are free. Sometimes my husband does work on the side for a carpet cleaning company on the weekends.
2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends?
Yeah, to 7:30 or 8. Normally I get up around 6:45. FTM so I know this will all change, but I really like trying to get up at the same time each day. x_x
3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays?
Friday nights rock because a group of my friends take turns hosting an end of the week dinner so there's always something to look forward to on Fridays.
4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done?
I'd say we mix it up. Some weekends we're all about yard work or home improvement or chores and others are laid back, on the computer or watching netflix type affairs.
5) What have you been up to this weekend?
Friday we had our friends over for dinner, Saturday I started our Target registry and had lunch with a friend and played some board games in the evening. Today, we're having an encore Fourth of July BBQ but the weather is so humid that I had to cross off the chance of s'mores from the menu.

linzeek44 · July 2012

I guess I should play my own game.

1) We finally both have weekends off. In grad school, we both had meetings and homework every weekend, and before that I would spend most of Sunday grading or lesson planning. It is so nice to have time together!

2) The dog wakes us up around 7:30, which is sorta sleeping in. Recently, I've just been going back to bed to get an extra hour.

3) I love Saturdays because there is still Sunday to get stuff done.

4) I am guilty of trying to get a lot done on the weekends. I've done better now that we have moved and are sort of settled.

5) Friday night we scoped out a used bookstore and got froyo. Yesterday was so hot that we sought refuge in the free museum of natural sciences and then watched the Sox/Yankees game now that we have some tv channels. Pretty low key!

jbBeans · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do?We have a retail store and we're open Saturday and Sunday. No employees yet, so it's just us! 2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends?I'm not a big late-sleeper, so if we can sleep in, it's usually me up by 6:30 with my laptop in bed and MH asleep beside me until we have to get up

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays?With our store, Sundays. We open a little later so I can make a nice breakfast and we close early, then are closed on Monday, so it's kind of like my Friday. 4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done?Working. If we weren't working, then I'd like to mostly get things done (yard work, when we have a yard, etc). 5) What have you been up to this weekend?Last night we randomly went to a South Asian festival that we found out about during the day while looking for places to advertise. It was fun--good food, music, shopping, etc. Friday night we rented a movie.

twoitalians · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? I have weekends off but DH is a bar manager so he has to work nights on the weekends. 2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? I try to as much as I can but I get up so early during the week that sleeping in on weekends is usually only till 7:30ish3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? For what, really? I guess I like Saturdays more. It's my fun day. 4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? Lately just getting things done. Even yesterday was exhausting and I was meeting up with friends I havent seen in a very long time.5) What have you been up to this weekend? Picking out a different car seat than the original one we wanted, friend's dad's memorial funeral service, BBQ with friends, laundry, clean house, buy rest of supplies for DIY thank you cards. Whew!

senorita04 · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? Both my husband and myself have the weekends off.

2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? Sort of. My husband has to be at work at 6:30 am on the weekdays, so anything after that is sleeping in for him. Our daughter usually is up by 8, so that's when we get up.

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? I would say Saturday. It's the day that I feel most relaxed. Monday is still off my radar.

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? It depends on the weekend. There are some where we get a lot of stuff done, and some where we relax. But I would say that it's mainly a combination of both.

5) What have you been up to this weekend? We are in the process of trying to move, so everything has been focused on that.

ifwisheswerefishes · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? DH works Fridays,normal hours, and then Saturdays from about 5am-10:30/11am, depending.

2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? i do on Saturdays, but DH can't if he works. we get up about 9am to get ready for church on Sundays.

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? honestly, i just like the weekends in general. i like Friday nights because DH can normally stay up later than normal (he works at really early morning hours so he's normally in bed on the earlier side) and we can see a movie or just spend some time together.

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? it honestly depends. sometimes we have a relaxing do-nothing weekend, and sometimes, our weekends are packed. this weekend is insane, but next weekend should be a lot quieter and more of a chance to rest.

5) What have you been up to this weekend? we had a family gathering on Friday night, a family wedding that took up all day yesterday, and then today we had church (which we accidentally slept though our alarms and missed...whoops!), and then a parade and fireworks this afternoon and night.

Jams1002 · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do?

I'm a 911 operator - I only have 2 weekends off every 5 weeks. DH is Police Officer on a separate shift, so the traditional Sat/Sun is not our weekend - usually we get a Mon-Tues off to spend time together.

I sleep in most days - except when I work day shift (then I'm up at 430 )

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays?

I appreciate all my days off!!

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done?

Right now, any day off is about getting baby ready and/or enjoying time before baby comes.

I have this weekend off (yay!) so I've been catching up with friends and enjoying this beautiful weather -the heat has finally broke in Ontario!!

bonjourbelle05 · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? I'm a teacher, so I have off weekends (and summer!) and DH works in IT, so he is off weekends, but is on call for things (which rarely happens).

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? Saturdays

5) What have you been up to this weekend? When we emptied the nursery (it was the office) we basically threw everything in the guest room, since we know we are having guests in a couple of weeks we started decluttering and organizing the guest room...it looks a lot better, but I still have a long ways to go!

OSUWifey09 · July 2012

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? I have weekends off [I think I work maybe four Saturdays and one Sunday out of the entire year]. When H is stateside, he's on shifts, but he usually has to work weekends.

2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? Today was the latest I've slept in in ages - and that was 8:45am. So I guess it IS sleeping in since I typically wake up around 6:45am on weekdays, but it's not as late as I'd like to sleep in. :P

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? Saturdays - have the entire day to get things done.

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? Mostly getting things done. I tend to do laundry, dishes, grocery shopping etc. on weekends.

5) What have you been up to this weekend? Organizing and watching Wimbeldon. DS has a birthday party this evening at a local splash pad, so we'll head out for that later.

JessicaxLynn87 · July 2012

I am a teacher, so I usually spend the weekends writing lesson plans. He works every third Saturday for half a day. He is the store manager for an electrical supply company.

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? I don't really have a preference but I can say that I am not a fan of Sunday's.

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? A combination of both. I clean and shop for groceries on the weekend. Other than that, it is relaxing.

5) What have you been up to this weekend? Friday night we celebrated my husband's birthday a little early by going out for dinner with his mother and her boyfriend at Outback.

1) Do you and/or DH/FI/SO have weekends off or do you work weekends? If you work, what kind of work do you do? I'm a SAHM, but I don't ever get a day off. H works every weekend, he's in sales so it's the prime time to actually sell something, unfortunately for our family. Every 4-5 weeks on a rotating schedule he'll get a Sun-Mon off though.

2) Do you "sleep in" on weekends? My answer is that I have two toddlers.

3) Do you prefer Friday nights, Saturdays, or Sundays? They all blend together to me, but since True Blood is on I love me some Sunday nights

4) Are your weekends mostly relaxing or mostly getting things done? I use every day to relax and get things done, weekends aren't too different.

5) What have you been up to this weekend? Yesterday we went to lunch with my parents, everyone took a crappy nap, then we went out to a local bbq festival thing (which sucked) and then watched our belated fireworks since it rained on the 4th. Today I have to go grocery shopping and we're going to go swimming. And True Blood is on! haha
