Re: Happy Friday! Plans for Memorial Day weekend?

  • We have crappy weather for the whole weekend (rainy in the 50sF, yuck), so we scratched our plan for a Sunday picnic.  Instead, sis-in-law is coming over for lunch on Sunday.

    Tonight I'm going to the ballet.  I've been sick for the past few days so although I'm looking forward to the ballet, part of me just want to stay home and go to bed early.

    Sat we may go out to buy a convertible seat for M... he's going to outgrow his infant seat soon.  If we don't do it this weekend, we'll have to do it next weekend.  We'll see.

    DH doesn't get Monday off, so it's really just a regular weekend for us.  Boo.

    Our plans got changed due to DH injuring his foot. He dropped an old stove on it Wednesday night, just barely missing the steel toe in his boot and he's been on crutches since. Nothing broken, just one really big hematoma. This weekend is the 10 year anniversary of his tractor accident that nearly killed him and the death of his grandfather he was close to. He wanted to take a solo fishing trip to the place they spread his grandfather's ashes and fish with him, but he can't do that now. Instead, we are going to hang out with his brother and SIL Saturday.

    This is my last weekend before returning to work and I'm not looking forward to it. Leaving H at the daycare doesn't bother me, it's the fact that I have to go back to a place that's toxic and negative. It's only 8 days teaching and one inservice day, but I'm still dreading it.

    Well, my baby's birthday is today and we are having a huge party for him!  I'm hoping the weather is nice and warm since I have pretty much all outdoor activities planned for the other kids and some of them involve water!  Fingers crossed!  

    My parents are also going to stay the weekend and help us do some landscaping.  

    Looking forward to seeing family and friends and celebrating :)

  • Thanks for the warm welcome!

    No big plans this weekend. My mom and one of her friends are coming for a visit tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be crappy tomorrow and Sunday so we will probably lay low and maybe do a trip to BBB at some point on Sunday. We will do a little cookout with just us on Monday and maybe do some planting outside depending on how cooperative Liam is! Have a great weekend girls!

  • I am so excited to see so many new SAIFers here every day! Welcome to all the new Mamas! This weekend we don't have any big plans. I would like to spend some time together as a family before the girls come. My parents are coming into town on Sunday and staying with us for a week and a half. We will be in the hospital while they take care of DS for most of the visit though. I cannot believe this our last weekend as a family of three!!!

    Welcome, congrats, GL, and hugs to all!

    We were off today so we went to see hangover 3. It was hilarious! Tomorrow will be just typical house duties. Sunday we are going to the ILs for a BBQ. And Monday theoretically I will be meeting a friend for lunch and shopping without the LO and MH will stay here to watch her. Theoretically. It will be my first time out of the house alone to do something for me since before Christmas. Yikes, I need to work on that.
