What are your weekend plans?

Re: What are your weekend plans?

  • Movie night tonight, then drop A off at her dads for the weekend.

    J works tomorrow so I plan to get out for a walk with the kids and try to have as much outdoor play time as possible.

    I want to go to church on Sunday, then take the kids to the park, then have lunch with J at work.

    Monday is my 31st birthday.
  • Loading the player...
  • We're going to the mall tonight to get a couple of gifts.

    Tomorrow: in the a.m., GTG with a couple of moms on the September board. I'm excited. Meeting friends for lunch and seeing their new home for lunch. Chilling the rest of the day.

    Sunday: Church in the a.m. Not sure there's anything else happening! Looking forward to having some family time after a crazy week at work.

  • L is off writing all weekend...

     Tonight low-key night at home. Movie for the kids and I can watch Scandal after they go to bed.

    Tomorrow the guy is coming to clean the dryer vent sometime in the morning. I just text the mom of a girl in the boys' class that they asked to have over for a playdate. If that doesn't happen, I need to take the boys to get some gifts for L.

     Sunday - kids' homework and get ready for the week in the morning and then take the kids to a birthday party in the afternoon (their first drop off party - they are going to see a movie) so I get a couple of hours alone to do some errands. WHOO HOOO.

    I am off Monday too! YIPPEEEE!

  • Fri: I think my mom and I are going to the mall after work. The store I like has jeans on sale and I am in desperate need of jeans.

    Sat: Tumbling in the AM. There is a holiday festival in the downtown of my town. There is a parade and games and things so I am going to take Ky for a bit I think.

    Sun: Nothing planned yet.

  • Cleaning, budgeting, and cooking this evening.

    Then we are going to volunteer at the children's holiday party at the Toronto Gay and Lesbian Community Center (known as The 519) tomorrow morning and to have dinner with some friends in the evening.

    Not sure yet about Sunday. Maybe some quality outdoor time with the dog if the weather cooperates. :)

    We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.

    with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.

  • Friday/today: we both have the day off and we're cleaning, organizing and prepping for the weekend. C has a haircut this afternoon and we have a few errands to run. This evening more of the cleaning, organizing and prepping.

    Saturday: Picking our friends up from the airport. We'll probably do brunch and then something fun (museum?). We'll most likely hang out at home for a bit in the afternoon and then go out for dinner.

    Sunday: Getting legally married. We're having 16 friends, including one who will officiate. Ceremony at 11 followed by a light lunch and cupcakes. We're having sushi catered from the place we had our first date and some of our wedding catered, and cupcakes from the place where we had our wedding cupcakes. It will be our closest friends and should be low-key and fun - which suits us more than the big public stuff. In the evening we may go do something fun, bowling, dancing, etc.

     I need to stock up on sparkling cider since I'm not drinking champagne.

    That sounds fantastic! What a great way to celebrate your legal marriage by honoring your whole relationship and your wedding.

    Enjoy!
