rifatheroffour Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I just got back from a trip to BJ's with DS#3. Spent all day doing laundry and clearing out the attic space, but that's for another post DS#1 is out with the GF, DS#2 is at the movies with friends and DD is at a festival with a friend, I am waiting for her call to go get her. My kids have much more active social lives than I do! I will continue with laundry for the evening and getting photos gathered for tomorrow.

Virgo Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I took my daughters to Avengers Day at the Hall of Heros today. Fun day! Now we're just hanging out at home and relaxing. I cleaned my whole house yesterday, but you wouldn't be able to tell by looking around. Cleaning the house with kids at home is like shoveling the driveway while it's snowing.

Guest Questions Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 All I'm doing tonight is preparing for Mother's Day tomorrow. I was going to send my mom flowers but they're so darned expensive, I couldn't afford it so I bought a really nice bouquet at the grocery store today. I'm going to arrange them in a vase, add some ribbon, a card & take them to her tomorrow & spend the afternoon visiting. My mom & I have been on the outs for awhile so I'm hoping this'll make us both feel better. I just got off the phone with her & she seemed happy to hear from me so am looking forward to it with a sense of relief. I think it's going to be a pretty good day... It's getting warm here & I'm digging through my summer clothes. I've been working on a tan this past month. Think I can actually wear shorts in public now without being embarrassed by my pasty white legs, lol. Feeling better about myself & ready for the heat wave that's coming... (It's 100 degrees + here most days every summer) Relax & have fun tonight.. (((hugs))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelerswife Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I'm sitting here working on creating answers to 11 questions for my oral final in my communications class...and watching the weather radar. Fortunately, I'm not 45 miles west of here where one supercell has dropped at least a dozen little tornadoes tonight. Hopefully the wheat fields are the only things damaged. It's pretty rural out there. Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I'm home and in my stunning California Midwives Association t-shirt, which is so old and peppered with holes that it looks like I took a shotgun blast at some point... but I digress. Anyway, I actually had a fairly exciting Sat night for once. My sister just released her first album, and she had a party/gig to celebrate at a local theater. I wore a dress, hose, heels, makeup, the whole nine yards-- haven't done that in years and years-- and she had me come up and sing one of our old standbys with her. It was pretty awesome (video on FB, if you happen to be my friend, or want to be!), and I had a blast. I felt-- alive. For the first time in a long time. It was kind of amazing. Everyone remember that smiley right there-- I have no long how long this high will last, or when I'll feel like smiling again. But I'm enjoying it right now.

Jess Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Jen, I was blown away by the video. It was great! I LOVED seeing a genuine smile. It really made my day. You have some serious talent, lady! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Aww, thanks! My sister is the pro, I'm just an enthusiastic amateur, but I do enjoy it. I haven't done anything like that in-- well, almost a year and a half. I do community theater, the last play I was in was summer 2013-- but I'm doing another one right now. (We open Thurs!) Maybe it's progress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcoxwell Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I spent the evening in my jeans and favorite sweater, curled up by the fire, eating popcorn, and watching "The Gods Must be Crazy" with New Guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rifatheroffour Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hello everyone...saturday night again...I was hiking with the scouts this morning/afternoon then napped, and had some good text conversation with a friend. Now I'm sitting with the kids watching Nemo. I should go and change and do some sorting. Maybe even get to bed at a decent hour tonight...hahaha!

lcoxwell Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Once again, I am in bed with a migraine. Medications have me feeling a bit dopey, but it is far better than the alternative of sitting here, hurting. I am in my most comfortable pajamas, cuddled up next to my furry, four-legged critters (Boo & Vinnie), and am finding the courage to go back and finish watching a few of the shows Kenneth and I had started together, before he died. Lots of memories are floating to the surface, and I am feeling very bittersweet and maudlin, as I know my time here, in this house, with his things, and all these memories, will be coming to and end in just a couple of months. Everything is beginning to feel so unreal, and I am feeling a bit lost in my own skin, these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgo Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Tonight was my daughter's Sweet 16 party. A lot of love, laughs, dancing, and karaoke. Everyone had a great time. I have a lot of desserts left, am so I'm going to take some to the police department tomorrow for officer appreciation week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcoxwell Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 It's that time of the week to bump this thread back to the top, ladies and gentlemen. So please, tell us about your Saturday evening, which is, hopefully, far more exciting than mine, at the moment. I am spending my evening texting with New Guy, since I can't go see him. My arms are lovely shades of purples, blues, yellows, and greens, and I look like a sad, little pi?ata, from all the IVs and drawing of blood in the last few days. Since I can't go out, I am sitting at home watching Netflix; and since I am having trouble stomaching food, I am eating chicken and jello. So far, the sexiest part of my evening was posting in the real sex thread. C'mon, you guys are jealous of all the excitement in my life, aren't you? ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoVerySad Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Very exciting night here. Fell asleep on the sofa watching old episodes of Chopped. My son just woke me up to come to bed. Now I probably won't be able to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaya Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I haven't visited this new board much. Today I mowed the lawn and wrote an email out of frustration to the financial aid office where my daughter will be going to college. I think next I will surf the net for graduation announcements.

Trying Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 2 1/2 hours in ER with DS to get 4 stitches. I was in PJs and in bed already when he cut his finger with plans to turn in early, now back in PJs and no longer sleepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgo Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Trying, that doesn't sound like fun for you or your son. My daughters and I went out for lunch and did some shopping today. We had a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissingSquish Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Starting SWSN early tonight. My dog hurt her wrist yesterday and I just got back from the vet. She didn't break any bones and the vet thinks it's a soft tissue injury. We've got some pain medication for her. So I've got a nice night ahead of me hanging with my favorite creature in the world and trying to keep her comfortable. More than likely will be sharing a TV dinner with her and watch some reality TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtokam Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I am getting ready to go to my daughter's soccer game in pouring heavy rain... SWSN for sure!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rifatheroffour Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I just finished moving rocks around and rebuilt the fire pit with the kids. Going to cleanup a bit find some food and sit in front of the fire. S'mores later with the neighbors and their 3 little kids whom my kids adore.

SoVerySad Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hello everyone! Not much happening here tonight. Made barbequed ribs for the kids for dinner, then caught some Everybody Loves Raymond episodes. The show still makes me LOL, even though I miss watching it with T. It's one of those shows that my kids are too young to really relate to the humor, so I watch alone. Who am I kidding? I watch most shows alone, although we always watch Modern Family together. Now I'm settled into bed and wide awake. Sigh... Looks like RIFF wins for best night so far. Smores, mmm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donswife Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Mowed the lawn and put fertilizer down ..yup that's how I roll on a Saturday night well technically it was before dark but still now headed in to watch useless TV and hope for rain I do so miss those nights when he would be next to me on the couch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanGenie Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Just watched Silver Linings Playbook with DS. Nice movie for a Sat night...with Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. I laughed at some of the craziness in the movie and surprisingly found myself laughing out loud to their comments/references re: her DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgo Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 My daughters and I were invited to a bbq/party, but we ended up leaving early because of the rain. Wild Saturday night relaxing and doing laundry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
