  @BeckyP005 you just described my Saturday exactly. My husband is working, I'm sitting having my coffee (no tv though because I love the silence) have to undecrate today. I always leave mine up until the epiphany (which was Monday) but I can't undecrate with a 1 and 4 year old "helping" (they are the kids I babysit).
  I will try and get the tree down and my village put away but that's all I'm doing.
  AF showed up last night so I'm in a bitchy mood.
  So Becky I will be having a few cocktails tonight- cheers!!!!!

  @hooligans4 how often do you watch the kids? M-F?
  
  Boo for AF. First day is always with a heating pad. Funny in the drinking. I came home from work last night and MH said..what..no rum n coke for you? Your board not drinking? Lol
  
  He also said one night when I kept bothering him while he was watching a show that he thought he heard the "board" was calling me

  I have them full time. Two different families. First one gets dropped off at 7:30 and the other one comes at 9 and stays until 5:30. It's a long day. Thank goodness my kids are older but they have to be driven all over creation most days.
  I started laughing out loud when I read what your husband said about "the board calling"
  I have been trying to be good all week because of the weight gain so avoided the extra calories in my drinks but not tonight. I'm drinking and I don't care. And that Hershey special dark that I've been drooling over all week got eaten last night. Yep and that was after I had a lean cuisine for dinner. I'm a rebel!!!!

  Wow that is a long day. Stinks. That's me. 7-6 but my kids are grown and all the running around is for parents. What happens when your sick? They have a back up plan? The problem with being a nanny they count on us so my days of calling off were very rare.
  
  Did you ever see the show Treehouse Masters? I ran across it once on TV. I was just on fb and I saw that the guy from the show built one about an hour away from me. Yep I am for sure making a reservation! I think that would be so cool!! MH will need some convincing though.
  
  Lol on the rebel part

  I actually got sick the first time last year with the flu. The parents all made arrangements and were more concerned with my well being and actually told me they had the week coveted so I should rest and recover without worry. But it's the only time I've been sick in the 4 years I've had the the little boy. Both families were friends of ours before they had kids so we all are very close. I'm more like an Aunt than a babysitter.
  
  I have heard of the show but never have seen it. But I love anything crafty so I would go see one that was in my area. Make a fun day if it and have a nice meal out and go see the treehouse.

  @IFinTN I bet if you had cocktails while playing D&D it would so much more fun.
  But it's great that your husband has friends that he still gets together with since 8th grade.

  My fella worked all night last night and will work again all night tonight (he works for the police department), so aside from watching our Seahawks in the playoffs, not much happening over here. Maybe some cooking this afternoon.

  It's a rainy dreary Saturday here too.  Got to go out and do bunch of errands in it, yuck.  Then tonight we have tickets to see Seinfeld.  So a dinner and a show are what's on tap for us.
  
  Enjoy the weekend ladies, with whatever you do!

  @BeckyP005 the funny thing is I usually only drink when I have my period ( 23 day cycle so every third week) but yes I'm being pushy today cause it's the weekend.
  
  Are you making perogies from scratch. Cause if you are I'm getting in my car and I will be there for dinner.

  I almost choked on my coffee! From a box... Mrs. T's to be exact. Sorry to dissappoint you hooligans But I did make lamb shanks with orzo last weekend. I despise cooking. It's because I am usually making different meals for work and they made me hate cooking now!!

  Lol. My high school sweetheart was from a polish family and they made them from scratch. Omg it is like eating heaven in a little pouch. My favorite is with sauerkraut.
  
  I love to cook but have never made them from scratch because the box ones are soooo much easier.
  
  I'm taking this weekend off from cooking( I make breakfast, lunch and dinner for my crew every day usually).
  We are going out tonight and going to my mothers tomorrow. It's a nice treat for me.
