our plans this weekend ..

today mikey is getting a spinal, some chemo & a skin biopsy. dan had to take the day off work (short notice) because my mom usually babysits and she's sick as a dog. i was going to just bring the kids with me but caroline has a cold. you can NOT bring a sick kid to a pediatric oncology floor. i asked dan if he'd like to stay home with caroline & bennett and i would bring mikey (since he's always gone to work) but he said he'd rather take mikey and get to be there for him today.

tomorrow we have my nephew's 1st birthday party. i think i'm just bringing caroline & jake. i don't want mikey exposed to that many people and if dan's staying home i might as well leave bennett home and make it easy on myself.

sunday i think dan's taking my van into his work to try to fix something on it. he would do it here but he doesn't have the right tools or something.

busy busy!

I hope all the testing is fine and uneventful.

My plans this weekend aren't too exciting. In the morning we are going over to the farmer's market. If I am lucky I will be able to do some weeding in my flower beds. Oh and there is a sweet corn festival here this weekend. I think we might go check that out.

Today E's morning preschool is have an open house for the kids so I will be taking her there. The parent meeting was last night. E is going to be in a different room this year. I am hoping that she won't mind the change, especially since all but one of her friends are in the old classroom.

I'm hoping to get some gardening done this weekend as well.

A corn festival sounds fun! And yummy.

I bet E will be perfectly happy about the change at school.

morning!

enjoying our last full day at the beach!

waiting for the big kids to get up so we can go to ihop - haven't been out for a good american breakfast yet!

Mmmmm, that sounds good.

Sorry it has to be your last day at the beach, though.

I made blueberry muffins for breakfast this morning.

Hi Robin! It really rained here last night so I am hoping it keeps the ground soft enough to make weeding easier. I hope your garden is much better shape than mine. I am a little disgusted because the puppy has really done a number on some things, including my squash. It was really growing well and yesterday I went out back to find the plant dug up and in pieces all over the backyard. evileye

Any suggestions on dog proofing plants?

omg, this is going to sound terrible but i WISH WISH WISH that today were tuesday.

b/c if it were tuesday, i would be at work and not home with my kids.

i am SO BURNED OUT. i don't even know how i'm going to make it through the day.

i'm so burned out that i don't even have it in me to take them somewhere. i just plain don't want to.

:ahh:

Ugh! Can you get your babysitter for just a couple of hours? It sounds like you need a little breathing room. It's also probably worse since Matt has been gone. I know that when Robert is gone Elizabeth is always more difficult. I hope something happens soon in your day to make things better.

she was just here yesterday while i was at work.

that makes me feel even worse.

emily is just SO SO SO high maintenance and i'm just SO over it. but how do you fix that?!?!?!

i am just going to let them watch tv all day. if it stops raining, i'll go outside and weed. maybe they'll leave me alone for a bit if i do that.

my kids were up at 5:30 again.

i just put bennett down for his nap and i put caroline back in bed too. she has a cold and has been nasty already this morning. she usually doesn't nap but she has school today and she'll just be BEAT if she doesn't rest.

it's quiet in here. i should be cleaning but i just don't want to. i'll do that later.

he's pretty easy to please.

sappy · Guru

I also am the photographer at the wedding. (Can you say budget wedding?) Anywho if anyone has some fabulous poses you loved from your pics. please let me know!

Nothing really fun planned for this weekend. But tonight I have to pick up the kids rush home so my mom can take Braxton to her house for the night. Then we will be having a girls night at my house which will include hot tubbing, playing Rock star, ect. that should be fun.

April I so feel you on being burned out. Every day DH is gone I get more and more tired. DH will be home from his 2 week shift Monday, but then he leaves Tues to go hunting for 2 week (well 10 days or so) so he may be home for 2-3 days but those will be taken up by butchering what ever they get hunting. Then he will leave for work again for 2 weeks. By the end of this I am just going to be wiped out.

Not to mention Daycare has had a bug going around so the kids have been sick and REALLY Cranky.

Here to everything going great with mikey.

We're having an employee apprication thing at work today so today shouldn't be to bad. It will be fun the theme is elementary school so it will be outside with games and food, ect. That goes from 1130-200 then I'm out of here at 330 so not to bad. aww

FoxyRoxy · Guru

April I don't think you should feel bad. I thought I was going to die once Marcos was in school. And now I just love it!!!

Sara as always I'm keeping all of your family in my prayers.

Muffy I hope you have a great day at the beach.

Dorian I hope Cole is getting used to school

Tomorrow we are going to paint (actually they are) the boy's room. They are still fighthing about the colors. We also have a birthday party in the afternoon and on Sunday we have a boy scout activity.

So much for resting...

ok, so i just spent the last hour "rehabilitating" emily.

every time she screamed for something she didn't like jake was doing (like going up the stairs :eyeroll:), she went up in her room.

as soon as she came out the first time, she started screaming about jake on the stairs again.

back in her room.

next time she came out, i told her we were going downstairs to play while i made lunch. she wanted to go outside and i told her she needed to wait until after her nap later. she said no. back in her room.

finally, she made it out and is downstairs. i've had to warn her that she will go back to her room only once.

maybe going in her room is a better punishment for her than a traditional time out in our time out chair. idk. i just have to find something to start curbing my behavior that is making me love her, but not like her very much right now.

does anyone have any input about putting her (them) in their rooms? is that bad? :help:
