Finally a weekend off

So far this next weekend we don't have anything scheduled, no the down side DH works the whole weekend so we can't do anything. We only have 3 more weeks of soccer then it's over until next year....Yeah!

But the weather is it's usual self now cold and wet, with a promise of getting really colder and really wetter.

On the up side, we have vacation in December coming up...Can't wait!!

Vacation at the end of March..Can't wait!!

Haven't touched the bucket list due to soccer but we have high hopes for the future :-)

Wild Ride

Yesterday it poured, today it's mostly sunny.. What can I say, only in this state..

I'm on call so far today and really hoping to not get called in as I have a slight headache and would prefer to not work but I will if I have too.

We have all our Texas stuff ready to go, we just have to wait and pack and print off our boarding passes. I have never flown on United before so I hope its a decent flight.

I still have to find a house sitter and I'm not sure who that will be yet, might be time to post on FB to see if any of my friends know someone.

Rain

The Rain has come in with a passion!! It's pouring and windy and wet.. Typical weather this time of the year and until about July, although it's a tad warmer in June and July when it pours..

We have our tickets for Texas ready and now all we need it December to come.. We have plans to get some bucket list items done while we are down there, we either need to rent a car or borrow one and I'm pretty sure it won't just be our family who does anything, it will be my mother in law and brother in law also I'm sure they will go everywhere with us.. Which could make the drives very fun!!

I'm still pondering the going to Arizona with my friend in January, it will depend on when she decides to go since I don't want to take more vacation time before March when I'm scheduled off for a week and a half..

I really need to find my computer desk I have papers all over it that should be scanned and put away but I just don't have the umph to do it right now, maybe after a few more days of rain and wind I'll be cold and bored and ready to do it..

Time and half

Was on call this morning and got to sleep in.. Bonus!!! But got called back at 8am which was okay with me since I got to sleep in..

I'm off now for a few days and will be doing housework and soccer for the weekend..

Weather is going to be yucky they say but we'll see what happens..

Working

Well Both of us are in the middle of long stretches DH 6 days in a row and me 3 days in a row, going to be a rough week as we have games for soccer this weekend and then both of us back to work for long stretches again then tournaments all weekend again then work long stretches of days again but we are winding down in soccer and only have 4 games left, not including the tournament weekend..

A friend asked if I wanted to run a 5k in Phoenix or Las Vegas in January I'm seriously considering it and I'm going to try to get DH to do it also..

In First Place

Well my DS soccer team is in first place now since we beat the only other team who hadn't lost any games, now we just need to keep it up. We have three games left to go..

We also have a tournament all next weekend, which I was told expect to be there all day both days, so much for having any days off, oh and did I mention that it's supposed to rain and be cold by then, well if not consider yourself warned I hate the rain and cold.

Cold, Clear Day

It's very cold and clear today but I do see that is going to change in about a week with our return to normal rainy, cool weather, I was hoping for the rest of the month to at least get some of my bucket list done but it looks like I need to address my winter bucket list items now..

DH is working for 5 more days and we have soccer today so that leaves this weekend out for sure..

I need to buy our plane tickets for our Christmas vacation and I need to start looking into vacation plans for our trip to Hawaii in March-April for our 10 year anniversary.

I'd like to take a short trip somewhere warm in January or February but I don't want to take DS out of school more then necessary, maybe we can fit in a Friday night, Saturday, Sunday trip so I need to keep my eyes open for a quick weekend getaway..

Friday!!

I have done nothing today, Nada, Zilch... B U T, I do plan to get something done, like grocery shopping and finishing the laundry..

The weather is so much colder at night now, it's still sunny during the day but it's cool and sunny I'm not sure how much more sun we'll be getting since we usually have copious amounts of rain this time of the year..  I personally am hoping for two more weeks since we have a weekend off then and can get some hiking done.

Wish me luck on housework :-)

Life and Stuff

Yesterday I worked and boy was it busy.. Today I was put on call which I did request, I'm happy to be off and if I have to go in to work so be it since I'm off the next three days it's okay with me..

If I don't go to work I'm going to work on my to do list as laundry has piled up again and needs to be put away. I'm slowly, very slowly getting my to do list whittled down and although the weather is absolutely beautiful, meaning cool and clear days here I'm wishing I could go hiking but alas we have soccer every weekend. I'll be getting our plane tickets for our next trip soon and I'm going to try to get a hike or two in down there while we are there. Plus there are a few places I'd like to go see while I'm there and I'm hoping there will be time to fit it all in..

Day Off

We're just trying to relax after a busy day of work yesterday.

Today we have off but we have a soccer game this evening so it will be a late night.

 I work tomorrow and the next day, while DH has tomorrow off but is back to work on Thursday..

We have soccer this entire weekend so it will be a busy week end for all of us..

Zoo

It was a beautiful but cool day yesterday and we went to the Washington Park Zoo, it is such a beautiful zoo, we had alot of fun and hopefully plan to go back again one day as some of the animals were alittle shy yesterday.

Off to work today though and it's supposed to be very nice then cool way, way down for a couple of days..
