My mum may bring my niece and nephew over today. H is at work for a whopping hour today - thankfully it's a short drive, or I'd have thrown a fit over the waste of gas. I finally dug the dogs' toys out from under the couch, so they're having a blast. Tomorrow we have a house warming party to go to. Woo.
@izza2 A boring weekend actually sounds lovely right about now. What would you do with your niece and nephew?
I was really looking forward to having no work this weekend but alas, I need to go back to a house for the third day in a row because it wasn't finished on time. It's not my client's fault, it's their general contractor's fault but I'm hella frustrated.
Hopefully I finish quickly and will have the rest of the weekend to do boring stuff like @izza2, preferably with drinks though.
@SkilledSailor - Sorry you have to work! I'm thinking of having a drink or two tomorrow, but I also don't want to waste a test of AF hasn't shown up yet. On the flip side, if I use all my tests this month, I won't be tempted to test next cycle, lmao.
ETA: Apparently I never answered your question -- if she brought them over, we'd all just hang out at our house. They love it here. Their mum doesn't give them attention (her games and BF are more important), so they love that the constantly get attention when they're with us. And DSS has too many toys, so they love playing with them. Since they can barely get in/out of their room, let alone get to their toys.
I know I'm not the only one who stalked BMBs, especially where your favourite grads may be -- but, am I the only one who doesn't hesitate to love-tit a post if I really agree with what someone's saying, or just love what they said? I totally have found ladies on the BMBs who I wish were on TTGP while TTC.
@nimmle hope you have a good time! @SkilledSailor yuck for working on the weekends, hope it goes quickly. @izza2 have fun with your niece and nephew! @blackhottamales what are you going on a boat for? Fishing, speed boat, glamorous millionaire yacht? LOL
AFM- swimming and being lazy

@izza2 Well that breaks my heart about your niece and nephew. It's really nice that you're able to provide them a fun, safe space! As for BMBs, I lurk them somewhat but only love-tit a comment if I knew the person on TTGP.
@sandbar517 I literally want to be that sloth right now.
@izza2 that is so sad about your niece and nephew. So glad they have you and your kids to help give them some happiness. Your DSS is also the one with the terrible home life with his mom, right? So thankful for your love and kindness with them. I tend to not stalk too many other boards, mostly just for fun drama. I usually don't love tit other people, but I have a few times if I hugely agree with what they said.

Good morning ladies, on mobile so love titting and having tagging troubles, so hopefully ya figure out who I'm talking to. That's super sad about your niece/nephew. That breaks my heart to hear about. Have fun on a boat!! Do you have your "swim trunks and your flippy floppys"? Have fun at the bachelor party! Work on the weekend sucks!!! Hopefully you get to be at-home doing nothing soon. Also LOVE that sloth! ETA spelling AFM I just slept for like 12 hours (woke up to pee once) and it was ahhhmazzzinggg!! Gotta clean at some point today. And pick dsd up from g'mas. Tomorrow we drive her home. But hopefully a lazy weekend for me!

*Potential TMI* Spending my morning at the doctor's, because of course my first yeast infection in years coincides with my first fertile week since DH came home. Meh.
At least later we're going to Ikea, and I'll get meatballs and feel better.
@izza2 that's so sad, about your niece and nephew. I was playing with mine last night at Shabbat dinner. DH taught our niece to say 'fake news' when her dad (his brother) tells her to do something.

@lurvleybunchococonuts they're the woooooorst. It's been years since I've had one. The doctor looked at me for about 30 seconds- apparently it's a textbook case. While it's annoying, I'm relieved it's just that.

I quit my job on Tuesday, so I'll be on an extended weekend until Monday when I start my new job!
Today we are having a BBQ at the IL's and I'm going to try to grab a mani/pedi before we head over.
I'm definitely guilty of love-titing on BMB's and have even replied once or twice as a lurker (recipe sharing topic and I think one other thing maybe?). I'm the worst. I'm also following approximately 6434678533 about gear, registries, sales, coupons, etc.
@sandbar517 - Yup, DSS's bio mum is a douche canoe. Thankfully he only sees her every other weekend, so we can keep him normal 99% of the time! Or at least as normal as possible.
@izza2 that's sad about your niece and nephew. But really great that you can help out with your like that and that they enjoy going to your place. Your DSS bio mom sounds like the one we have to deal with on this side too. Although I definitely would use stronger words in our case!
I'm a big lurking love-titter. Sometimes I even love-tit super old posts. I like what I like
AFM: My weekend has consisted of planning for first day of school. It starts Monday and I just found out YESTERDAY what classes I am teaching. This is what happens when you're the part time permanent sub. They are getting a new database system for everything and no one is really prepared. So I'm not the only one feeling less than ready, but that isn't exactly comforting! I don't know what all classrooms I'm teaching in, I have no student lists or seating charts. I'm freaking out over here.
It sounds like most of you ladies are having a fun weekend! Holing up in my house because of the eclipse this weekend. But I did hobble around our local church picnic this evening and got a free dinner so that was nice. Just got out of the bath trying to rest my ankle.
MIL had us check out a new church with her this evening. It was sooo awkward and uncomfortable. The pastor rambled, couldn't get to a very simple point, it was in a barn, it felt like it belonged in the Hill Have Eyes and I was waiting for the banjos to start at any moment. Thanks but no thanks. I will not be attending again.

@MrsBunz What board games do you like? MH and I are big board game fans and nerds as well.
AFM - I got some work done on prepping for my classes today, so I'm feeling a bit less stressed about the school year starting. Also made a tasty dinner tonight, so I'm feeling pretty good, all in all.
I woke up before my temping time just <i>miserable</i> with cramps and AF... thankfully I got comfortable enough to fall back asleep for a bit, before getting called into work an hour early. Got some groceries after work, found the last of ny meds on the porch, and then played with my CDs mostly for the rest of the afternoon. Lol plus laundry. Lol Now we have LOTR on and DH is sleeping on the couch. We are living it up!
Bad news is the truck keeps overheating!!! :s So DH has got to go to napa tomorrow to try and get working on it... coolant leak or something. Therefore, I bring you actual footage of me driving around instead in the jeep this coming week (with no a.c.) going to my early monitoring apts before work... Lol. Should be fun!!!! *typo <img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/dh/sophh90tlioq.gif">
@lurvleybunchococonuts. Lol at the bajos. I went to a church recently that had a harmonica player. What did MIL think if the church?
@BusinessWife. Nothing like car stress. Hopefully the truck gets fixed soon. Random question : is your avatar you? (If it isn't, it is probably someone famous that I don't recognize lol)
@darkstar42. Also random, Is it you that does disc golf with YH? I can't remember:)
@lalala2004. Sorry you are feeling so unprepared. Hopefully you can wing it &it all be okay!
@JennyColada. I am right there with you on the gear, registries, etc! Were you able to get your mani/pedi? What is your manicure of choice?
AFM, as predicted, there were plenty of things to add to a "Crap My ILs Said" thread.
Possible TW & a vent
MIL asked if I was KU because MH told her we went to my friend's house for dinner, who owns a daycare. He told her when we had kids they would likely go there. THAT IS WHY YOU DON'T TELL HER EVERY DETAIL OF OUR LIVES. --stuck in box-- Then, her and FIL both made pretty offensive "jokes" about the population I work with for a living. They are not worth repeating, but for sure gasp worthy. I don't get how people can think such awful things are okay to say if they say "I'm just kidding." Overall, they're kind people. Especially FIL. However, I usually leave there feeling like crap due to MILs bluntness.
Oh! Out of the box now.
Otherwise, I had a great day. I went with MH to disc golf and on a walk. We went to TJMaxx. It was one of the best days we have had together in a while. Tomorrow, I get to go grocery shopping by myself again. Wooot! Edit: words
@jrm_14 Thanks ya, as if stimming isn't stressful enough, now I have the added worry about the vehicles, too! Lol No, the second thing you said. Lauren Conrad? Although I'd like to think we looks kinda similar, but realistically skin tone/hair colours is probably about it. <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/bb/e6p1go33ix87.gif" alt=""> Sorry about the IL. stress... :/
@darkstar42 we play a bit of everything. Normally a few easy "ice breaker" games like werewolf resistance or pit, then I'll settle in for a 3 hour round of zombiecide or Arkham Horror. We tend to like co-op games with the potential for a secret betrayal or defector (shadows over Camelot, betrayal at the house on the hill or dead of winter)

We always say our cat is naked when he pulls his collar off. He's been doing it less, which is good- we like the bell, so we know when he's coming.
Thankfully, my lady business is feeling better. We bought a couch at IKEA, but it won't be delivered for another week. I'm pretty psyched about it.
