So this weekend was a little different than the usual format. On Saturday I had a special ChicagoNow blogger Group Discussion and I wasn't sure Nightingale would give me a hall pass because we had plans with Katness later in the day. She even did the Costco shopping with the kids and my mom, which had to be like the 8th circle of hell. The meeting was fun with the usual social overhead. I like to catch up with people I know but also meet new people so it's hard to talk to someone and then find a way to disengage to go talk to someone else. And there is always that one person who doesn't know when to dial back the amount of personal TMI they are sharing. Also a group that large needs some parliamentary procedures when talking. I did learn a few things so I feel like it was beneficial from both a social maintenance aspect as well as blogging.
I got home while the kids were down for their nap, in fact they had just settled down. My mom decided to leave because we were having Katness et al over, but again she takes so long to decide to leave and get her things that nap time was halfway over.
All we did was go to the nearby park and then order Thai food. Probably not what Katness had in mind but she had swim lessons for her twins earlier so it didn't make any sense to try and go to a museum that would close by 5.
On Sunday we just hung out at home and called/facetimed with the various the in-laws. While anything could change, I believe we are going to move to Tennessee by the end of 2018 if not sooner. To this end, we need to get a few things done around the house and some of those things I want to enjoy as well instead of just paying to have the next buyer have them.
My frustration is some of these things, are too big for me to do myself, but too small for a tradesmen to bother with. and apparently it is against their belief system to take credit cards.
