I need some serious coffee this morning! I have a Core class, then spin class, then am working on the new book. Not sure that is much of an adventure. Hmmmm, I might have to come up with something adventurous! Have fun at the race…..xox
Running my kids to all their events.
This weekend is full of taking my kids to ju- jitsu, cleaning house, going over school work and cooking. On the fun side I have awesome workouts planned including going on a very long bike ride by the most beautiful scenery by myself while listening to good music and planning a special date night tonight for my hard working hubby after the kids go to bed.
My hubby are planning to take me out for fancy dinner in the downtown and walking around downtown afterward this weekend. He just wanted to take me out for making me feel so special. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
I am spending my weekend celebrating my daughters 11th birthday!!! Dinner and a party and alot of birthday cake and ice cream!
In just a few minutes I will be heading out to drive to my sister’s house. She’s about a 50 drive North of me. My brother and his wife are down from Georgia and will will all be spending the week-end together. I LOVE family get-to-gethers. I hopw you have a great weekend!!
Going to an Alumni Meeting at University of the Cumberlands and to an Auction. Have a Great Saturday!
I will be cleaning my house and playing with my 4 1/2 and 22 month old girls.
I’m sitting at the pool waiting for my daughter’s swim meet to start, the same way we do so many weekends! So proud of her! And my hubby is on the other side of the state with my son, waiting for his karate tournament to start. So proud of him too!
Today is actually my birthday. All of my family members and close friends canceled on me so I am just going to dress up really fancy, with make-up and a pretty dress. Then I will make dinner and curl up with one of my romance novels that I have been neglecting because of my school/work load. 🙂 I’m excited.
doing some onsite babysitting for our 3yr old grandaughter while her parents go tryout for a gameshow lol!
my “adventures” this weekend include finishing up my husband’s Curriculum Vitae & packing for him while he’s at work so he’s ready to leave for Narcotics Training in Phoenix for a week, combined with clearing out and organizing our guest room/office to get it ready to paint and turn into a Big Girl room for our toddler and get her room ready for Baby #2… not very exciting, but such is life for this deputy’s wife and toddler’s momma 🙂 too bad the weekend is so short, I’m already dreading having to get up for work on Monday 😉
I am taking my 7 yr old daughter to Charlestown Laanding in charleston, sc. Then we are meeting her soccer club at Blackbaud Stadium for a MLS double header. Sunday we are going to lunch at the Noisy Oyster for calamari ( he favorite) then off to the SC Aquarium before heading back to Beaufort! The perfect mother-daughter weekend. 😉
My weekends still consist of unpacking after downsizing from a bigger house omg what a nightmare.
My plans for the weekend include a movie with my niece and nephew, a walk with the dogs, a trip to the gym and the joy of studying for a certification exam. Might even go wild and throw in some laundry.
My Plans for the weekend include snuggle time with my husband, giggle time with my daughter, people watching at Starbucks and reading time with Kris Kindle aka my Kindle Touch! I hope your weekend is just as blessed as mine!
Hi there..my weekend we will be off to the Neon Cowboys..a motor bike show and maybe the Horse track…the weather here in Florida will be great at around 68 degrees I think..then maybe a walk at one of the local parks down one of the many trails with our three dogs.Happy Weekend !!! Thanks for the chance at this Gift.
I am running (in my car) down to see my mother in the nursing home. Four hours driving four hours with Mom. I love her.
Babysitting my sweet little granddaughter today and helping my niece and her family move into their new house. Sunday still helping with the moving and making a birthday dinner for my son in law.
This is the weekends I love…I have all the kids at home. We play games, run around doing errands, and have a big family supper tonight. It is like a tornado has hit the house when Sunday evening comes but it is worth it to have all the family together.
There are 6 of us in this blended family. My 3 stepkids, my son and my husband and I. I am blessed to have found my husband and his kids.
Good Weekend to All-
I’m having decluttering my house, having lunch with friends while my husband takes the boys to the museum for Engineering day, then sanding and painting a new piano table. Tomorrow, the kids are singing at church and we have a wrestling banquet to attend. It’s not very adventuresome, but it is life with 5 kids!
I have a few knitting projects to wrap up and I want to start/finish a library book. My husband and I will eat out and visit our favorite Barnes & Noble Booksellers for some wonderful coffee, reading, and relaxation.
I’m spending the weekend sick. 🙁 I was supposed to go to the gym and then to get my hair cut, but I still haven’t dragged my butt out of bed.
I work in a psych hospital and it was a TOUGH week. A coworker was found dead, at home… he was the nicest man, always up beat and positive, going to miss him a lot. I was helping out on another unit where a pt with a serious debilitating disease was needing serious medical care but refusing, lots of drama with staff and the patient. And I have a husband who is recovering from back surgery, so care-giving is 24/7 with no relief in sight.
I love special coffees as my special treat, to keep me going and somewhat sane.
My plan was to just go to my favorite bookstore and go for walk around my neighborhood. Like anything in life things change. I will also be taking my son to batting cages to practices hitting and pitching. Later today we will go see a neighboring High School baseball team scrimmage against another school.
I am so happy! I have 3 daughters. One lives at home and two lives in Austin, TX. Of those two girls one is a engineer student at UT Austin and the othere graduated from UT Austin and got a job right away in Austin. Anyway they came home late last night for a visit ..yeah… =) and we stayed up until 3:30 this morning just talking. I am going to be with my three girls doing whatever they what to do, cooking their favorite food, of course some student laundry and alot of hugging and smiling. <3
I have my 12 yr son this weekend and i am taking him to his crossover event for boy scouts. He will be promoted to a big boyscout. Then i am planning to take to the park and let him play with remote control car.
It is snowy and blowy here today and possible tomorrow so my exciting plans are to stay home, wrapped in a warm blanket, have a great endless pot of steaming coffee and divide my time with an old movie and a good book I have been eyeing.
Im taking the big dog to get his shots, then it is time to get everything ready for my husbands new job (a serious mountain of paperwork and forms)This afternoon I take the kids to get new shoes, then cleaning, after that start packing my husband and finally it will be time for dinner. After dinner its time for homework and since my little one was sick for 2 days there is alot! I will clean some more then finally collapse at around 1 am.
I am painting my kitchen, living room and 2 hallways this weekend.
I am going to be at home cleaning & cooking while my husband is working! 🙂

My weekend will be spent cleaning up our property after a fire. We have waited a few months to see if any of our pine trees will survive. We will be cutting and stacking a lot of wood this weekend.
Kids’ activities: tennis, soccer (victory, six to zero, would have been worse but for the mercy rule), baseball (thank goodness for the mercy rule – on the other end of it this time at 16 to 3), more tennis, more soccer (score to be determined this morning), baseball practice (might be a long one in light of the thrashing), friend’s house for science project, math project, and I’m sure we forgot something; ostensible adult activities – gelato (plum, chocolate-orange, and goat’s milk with cocoa nibs (sounds iffy, tastes great)), swim (Theresa), run 20 miler — bailed at 18.5 to make soccer, run some more (Theresa and Rob), swim some more (Theresa — aiming for a tri) host parents visiting from NY (roast beast! better run even more), and … coffee throughout (thank goodness for Theresa’s gift for 50th — the Jura Ena 9, a one touch espresso/cappuccino maker, the greatest invention since the coffee bean). Oh, and the dog says she has been promised a hike — better hit the coffee button again;)
staying home taking care of my sick family-stomach flu lots of fun lol
thanks
Showering this weekend… Bridal and baby showers that is. Just picked up one of your books this week and used book store and loved it. That’s how I find new authors.
