It's Friday!!! Yipee!!
For my question today ...
What would be your PERFECT weekend?
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Right now, my perfect weekend would be to go to the lake, bake in the sun and read. Sometimes I feel like I might have been a sun goddess in a past life - I love to be warm all over.
For my hubby to not work EITHER day.
I guess for there to be no tantrums and every one just enjoy each others company. A day when the stars align.

Brunch both days, books, comfy chair, good lighting, cuppa tea, naps.
either camping at one of our favorite lakes or music festivals.....or spending it out on our boat just cruising, fishing and lounging.
To be able to sleep for as many hours as I wanted without having to worry about the toddler because the hubby would be home and be willing to take him with him wherever he goes. Then to wake up and find out the hubby cooked dinner AND washed the dishes AND took out the trash for me. That'd be heaven
Hmmm good one. These days, any day I don't have to go to work and deal with these 'haters' is a WONDERFUL day weekend or not. But for the most part my weekends are great and they consist of me and kev relaxing and watching movies or shopping for the baby. I just thought, since you are doing this blog question thing everyday but you aren't near a computer for a week..you are going to have ALOT to read when you get back!! ack!!
I usually think my perfect weekend would be relaxing and doing nothing, but then I get bored. So I will say spend some time doing nothing and some time hanging out with friends, family, and my husband.
I would love to book a hotel for the weekend for my family and just spend time relaxing with Andrew. Laze around a pool, go shopping, and not have to worry about cleaning the house.
Dinner at an a nice pasta place with a glass of wine and my bff coming home to go to our favorite pub together and then watching the game on Sunday at my Mom's. Funds are low and I don't think BFF is making the trip but, we will do football on Sunday.
A weekend of Wii competitions, naps, swimming with the kids and not having to cook!
Just relaxing, waking up Sunday morning No sickness, full tummy, cool, clean house and hanging out with friends.
(Oh, and these 10 pounds I'm trying to lose to come off so I can work on the last 40 :) )
Waking up late on a Saturday morning, peeing in a cup, playing dip stick and getting the grand prize! Then basking in the glow of a +POAS, waking up DH and telling him, and hearing his reaction (groan for waking him up, yippee for the good news).
Sunday I'd still be so high that whatever we did that day would be perfect.
Congrats!! Your 1/2 way there (boy this is going fast)
My perfect weekend would be in Hawaii hanging out on the white beach sand eating fresh pineapple, only to go inside a beautiful condo to BD 4 or 5 times a day, but quickies cuz I have other things to do - Read my favorite book - maybe do some snorkling in the coral reefs of the blue waters - and O on Monday and have active swimers and find a BFP 2 weeks later :p
A perfect weekend at home would be....nothing to do...all the laundry would be done, all bills paid, full fridge and pantry, and cooked meals magically appearing :)
A perfect weekend away would be a FREE one..on the beach...tropical drinks...just realing without anything planned...and no meds or shots to take :) and our doggie would be with us chillin' too
Laying on the beach drinking some strawberry daquaries (sp). Or telling my husband that we are pregnant. That would be pretty awesome!
Sleep, great garage sailing, brunch with the NYT, doing something with friends in the evening...
A *really* perfect weekend?
Winning the lottery, getting knocked up, and all the above.
Waking up late to a snuggling hub, making a nice full on sunday breakfast. no nauseau so I can actually feel ready to leave the house before noon. Going to the park with the dogs so they can run around & I can enjoy the fresh air. Having enough money that I feel free to go shopping for an unneccessary new outfit & a really cute pair of shoes that I so don't need! Going out to dinner with friends & then cuddling on the couch watching movies.
I would of had a different answer before I had kids. But for now? Sleeping in perfect peace and quiet. (not the sleep I get when I hear my husband telling the kids "shhh! mommy is trying to sleep" 100 times)
Yes. Sleep. Good, quiet, cool, sleep.
That the screaming kids, were suddenly able to talk. Just one weekend without screaming. Doable? Probably not... But, you asked for a perfect weekend?
Happy ICL Week :)
