What's up this weekend?

KH826 · October 2014

Happy Friday Everyone!

What's going on this weekend? Any fun plans? Let us know what's shakin!

QOTW (just cuz!): If you suddenly had an unplanned long weekend, and you wanted to do something fun, what would you do (let's pretend money is no object, because that's more fun)?

We will be inseminating this evening so aside from watching a movie and relaxing nothing much else planned for tonight. Tomorrow is our one year wedding anniversary, so we will definitely make a nice dinner and have some wine. Then, our usual dog park and beach runs in between.

QOTW (just cuz!): If you suddenly had an unplanned long weekend, and you wanted to do something fun, what would you do (let's pretend money is no object, because that's more fun)? We would definitely grab the pups, rent a cabin and head up to Idyllwild!

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Edit: forgot the QOTW

No idea what we are doing tonight. L is home sick. I might pick up dinner on the way home if she isn't up to going out.

Tomorrow - The kids have a 'learn to ride your bike' class in the AM. They refuse to learn from us, so we are trying this route. If L is still miserable, I'll take them alone. We are supposed to go to a Family Dinner at church tomorrow night, but it will depend on how L feels.

Sunday - Church and then the kids' sports all afternoon. Dinner with friends and then home to get ready for the week.

ETA ; If it was a just a long weekend, I'd head to Maine to see the fall foliage,enjoy the fall weather, have a lobster roll of 2, hike Cadillac Mtn, and do a lighthouse tour (which L would flip for!) L's never been and always wanted to go. I wouldn't want to spend most of my long weekend traveling.

There are some seriously heavy conversations going on here today, and while I'm excited about those and appreciate them (and I have a lot to say on both topics) for some reason this is the thread I'm responding to. So thanks, @KH826, for starting this one!

I believe, for a real change, that we have absolutely nothing scheduled for this weekend. I'm sure that S will have to work some. And staying home all weekend just is NOT an option anymore because G just needs to move. The weather is supposed to be cold and rainy (and maybe snowy for the love of god), so we may go to the Children's Museum tomorrow morning. Other than that, I have no idea what we'll do. If it wasn't going to be so wet, I'd bundle up the kid and try to get some yardwork done. But I don't see that happening. I'm open to suggestions!

QOTW: @crazyaunt84, I totally agree that plan sounds perfect. For me. I LOOOOVE Paris. S said it "Smells like pee," and would prefer London. I suppose I could live with that. Actually, maybe Edinburgh. S has never been there, and I would love to go back. Even for just a long weekend.

KH826 · October 2014

@JGY - after responding to both of the heavy conversations, I started this thread. I felt like I needed it. Glad someone else did too. Balance!

So tomorrow my wife and I will have been together for 10 years. A decade. Woah. How are we old enough for this? Oh, we are! Anywhoo.... we have decided in lieu of gifts to go shopping and each buy a few new Fall outfits. My wife wants more "Mom clothes" -- her new SAHM uniform of yoga pants and tshirts/sweatshirts is starting to get her down a little and she wants to find some new things that are comfy, but also fun and her style. I am excited about that for her! I also need a few things because the clothes I bought when I went back to work at the end of July are too big (yay!) but I am not yet back into my pre-pregnancy stuff (booo!), so I need some in-betweeny stuff to hold me over. Maybe 2 pairs of work pants a and a couple of sweaters. I can make do with some other things I have until I am back to where I want to be. Hopefully.

Then we also have groceries and a 4-month DYI photo shoot for Mr. William tomorrow!

Sunday we are going to a local farm/pumpkin patch with my mother-in-law. It should be fun, and hopefully a good photo op!

QOTW: I added this since I recently one a bonus vaca day at work, and I would really like to do something fun for a long weekend, but I am not sure what. Obviously, Paris is out of the question, but it is fun to day dream about your ideal long weekend. In reality, we will probably plan a day trip or two and do some fun fall activity. BUT, I think my dream long weekend would be more aligned with what @CrazyAunt84 had in mind!

mwagner25 · October 2014

Ugh.... I am working now, working overnight tomorrow night, so this weekend is a bit of a wash. We are finding it harder and harder to not have family support down here especially with my crazy schedule in the ER. I haven't been posting as much bc at times we just feel like we are in survival mode. Get through one more shift, try and give each other a break, rinse and repeat.

But to take a positive spin..... There is light at the end of the tunnel. We are super excited about our trip to Minnesota to see family and look at houses in 2 weeks then family vacation to Florida a week after that.

JGY · October 2014

@mwagner25 - I actually said "Yay!" when I saw you had posted a bunch today.

YES! Get your buns up here to MN already.

ETA - I have tagging issues

StacyLH24 · October 2014

I took the day off today to relax and get stuff done around the house. It's been a great day. I think I needed it.

C has her CDL class tomorrow and Sunday for a few hours. Tomorrow I'm going to town with her and I will get groceries while she's in class. After we might head up to see our friend who recently has twin boys. Other than that, we need to get cracking on wood again. At least I can help now and not feel useless...though I would have been useless for a good reason.

QOTW: I would want to go to Maine or out west and go moose watching.

mallory4284 · October 2014

We have no plans that I'm aware of right now. I'm okay with that. We're on a tight budget right now before we get paid next Friday, so staying in and just hanging around the house will be fine!

QOTW: hm, just a long weekend, I'd probably get a super fancy hotel in Chicago and we could do the Chicago thing without having to worry about spending too much!!

ETA: forgot my sister's foster daughter was nominated for homecoming court and this week is homecoming.... So looks like I get to hit up some exciting high school football tonight!

ATXmommas · October 2014

Folks! Hey! I've been trying to read all the posts today (in this thread and the heavy ones) when I've had a few minutes to myself. The last three days this week have been super busy!

No big things on the schedule this weekend. Yay! I think we'll lay low tonight because we have date night for my birthday dinner tomorrow night. Ash's teacher at school is coming to babysit. It's not as exciting as it sounds. We usually (as in the 2 or 3 times we've gone on dates in the last 10.5 months) wait until 7:30 to leave so that I can nurse Ash and not have to worry about expressing milk while I'm out. Then, by the time it's time for dessert, I would swear to you it's around midnight, but when I look at the click, it's about 9:30. I'm old.

I hope to go on a run or two with Z and the munchkin. I think it's cooking off a bit over the weekend, so hopefully it will be decent running weather.

QOTW: A long weekend away where I can eat all the food, drink all the wine, and sleep all night on fancy sheets sounds perfect to me right now.

Have a good weekend, all!

Himee33 · October 2014

L and I have been working opposite schedules, not to mention long crazy hours this week. We have Saturday and Sunday off together!

Saturday: L said it was an "us" day. I believe we are going to get manicures and pedicures (Which is crazy this was her idea since I have been trying to get her to go with me since we met.) Then I believe we are going to dinner and I movie. I want to see Gone Girl.

Sunday: We have a 7am appointment with our RE. It was a last minute thing because our RE wants to check my lining herself. Then we are driving to Berrien Springs, Michigan to check out a wedding venue we are hoping to book. It will just be a quick trip because there is a wedding being held there Sunday so we need to view it and leave before they start setting up. Then we plan on heading back to our couch for our lazy Sunday of watching football!

QOTW: L would probably want us to fly to Ft. Lauderdale, FL to this restaurant we went to the night she proposed to me for the calamari and steak dinner. She talks about it all the time and how she wishes we could go there for a quick trip. I think I would fly to Boston for the weekend. A place I've always wanted to visit.

ATXmommas · October 2014

Happy Anniversary, @sdfonz619‌!

Happy Anniversary, @KH826‌! 10 years! What a lovely milestone!

bfonz619 · October 2014

Thanks! @atxmommas

Jazibel · October 2014

Happy Anniversary @sdfonz619 and congrats on 10years @KH826. I hope you have a great birthday date night @ATXmommas.

The kiddos are sick again (mostly Kaden and I hope it stays that way). So our weekend plans are kind of out the window.

We were going to have friends and their newborn come over for dinner, but now it'll just be us. I'm actually looking forward to catching up on homework, and cooking dinner.

Saturday we'll see how the kids feel, maybe we'll visit the park and try to get more unpacking done around the house.

Sunday we're heading over to a friends house to have dinner. Hopefully Kaden is feeling better by then.

QOTD: I like this trip to Paris idea, though a long flight in both directions with 2 kids for just a weekend... I think I'll pass unless I can get a sitter. ;-) We'd probably rent a cabin near the ocean and spend cool mornings bundled up watching the fog and waves, and afternoons hiking and exploring. Bonus if there's a hot tub!

Twochickshavinachick · October 2014

Good to hear there are happy times ahead for so many people

Our lodgers left on the 1st and we've spent the last three days bleaching mould from ceiling, walls and curtains, moving furniture and deep cleaning the carpet. It's starting to look half decent but there's still window frames and skirting boards need bleaching...A and I both have work all weekend but guess what else we'll be doing?

QOTW: We would probably just do what we usually do for fun. Spend the day happily trawling the charity shops, lunch at a multi-cultural all you can eat, maybe ice-cream on the waterfront and then either the cinema (if money was no object) or home with a nice stir fry and a selection of our favourite programmes. We both believe it's the little rituals you create as a couple that have the most meaning. Who needs Paris, when you have the other half?

Officerofthelaw · October 2014

This weekend I am working. I work everyday so that we can afford he fertility treatments. It takes a toll on me but is totally with it. My wife is a photographer and owns her own company but it has slowed down so I hold down the fort. I don't mind...I love taking care of her.
If I could do whatever this weekend and money is not an issue, I would take my wife to beach and the only reason why we would leave the beach is to shower and sleep.:)
