What Are You Doing Tonight?!

I've made a habit of hanging out on Mamapedia on Friday nights, when I know my hubby will be getting up with the kids at the crack of dawn and I can sleep in a bit. Right now my two youngins are in bed, and my husband went out for drinks with his brothers for a few hours--i'm in hog heaven right now all by myself! I've got TrueBlood playing on the TV, Mamapedia at my fingertips and my 3rd glass of white wine in my hand. So my question is--what are YOU ladies doing tonight? How do you "unwind" on the weekends!?

What can I do next?

My birthday is tomorrow. I got a hair trim today and I'm all dressed up with no where to go. So, I suppose I'll have a few cocktails and hang out here for a time. Hubby just made his own dinner since it appears that I am drinking mine. I am also doing laundry. So my night will be relatively BORING.

Warning.. my answers might get a little bizarre :)

Good for you.

I like when that happens too... my kids asleep, my Husband out. And my night to myself. To do what I want.
Sweet.

Its still the afternoon here.
I have several more hours.... until everyone is asleep.

Who knows what I am doing tonight.
All I know is I am not cooking dinner.
"My" treat for myself, is that on Fridays I do not cook dinner. It is left overs, or they get take out, or my Husband cooks whatever. Of course, I do make sure my kids eat.
But I don't formally cook, on Friday nights.

Sitting on the couch listening to the thunderstorm outside. It was 100 degrees here in MN today and we needed a storm to clear the air. Loving the cool breeze and the clean smell of rain coming in through the screen door.

My daughter is with her dad until Sunday, the place is a disaster from her sleepover, and I'll deal with it tomorrow!

well, typically it sounds a lot like your night, but last night my MIL's cousin and his GF came into town so we all stayed up drinking beer, sharing stories and laughing all night - we are almost all hung over this morning even MIL who did not drink!

Love it! I often hang out on Mamapedia on Friday nights (well, really, more like every night, but I feel more pathetic on Friday! haha! (not that you're pathetic by the way;)) I've also done some Facebooking on Friday too and it's not too busy there either! I also love True Blood and you sound so relaxed I'm jealous! We did just put our kiddos to bed though and are hoping for some friends to come round and have a couple glasses of wine here too...so hopefully I'm right behind you! Enjoy your weekend!

**Grandma T...another couple cocktails and it'll be far from boring!! You go, Grandma and have a happy birthday!

Tomorrow we are getting some fireworks and going to the indoor bouncy house.

Kristina M.....I love that you party with your Mother-in-law. There are so many negative posts about MILs, I wonder if you can share your secrets/tips about having a good relationship with your husband's Mother?

Hi A. and All You Mama's,

I wrote a 4th of July article, spent some time with friends this afternoon, fixed fried chicken and salad for dinner, took a nice walk when it cooled down, came home and made a martini w/lemon twist!

I'm going to a BBQ on Sunday and catering a private picnic on Monday.

I would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY Grandma T....I think you give some of the best advice and if we were in person friends, I know I would love you. I sort of do anyway.

Blessings to ALL and a very Happy and Safe holiday.

I am sitting at home watching TV. 32 weeks pregnant with my 3rd and I was diagnosed with preeclampsia so I am on bed rest until I deliver. I would love to have a night where I could walk around the house and clean!!!! My poor hubby is dealing with cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids while I sit on my butt and do nothing. Plus now I have to have additional testing done for blood clotting, which makes no sense because I was never told that I would need this. Although this is due to me being seen by a specialist now because of my condition.

So tonight my toddler is at my parents house while we take care of our 1 year old and hopefully get things done around the house. Hopefully my husband can get our toddlers new twin bed together by tomorrow so she can have a new bed tomorrow night!!!

We have all 3 kids this weekend so today we went swimming, saw Mr. Poppins Penguins and now they are getting ready for bed. They are 15, 11 and 8 and all go to bed at 8pm every night! They don't have to sleep, but they have to stay in their rooms. Then hubby and I watch tv and catch up on our shows or watch movies that the kids can't see. If there is a game on then I sit next to hubby but I will read or be on the laptop like I am now getting caught up on emails and/or mamapedia or my blog. Sometimes we go to bed early and just lay there and read our books....or do other things!

well I've been "unwinding" by cleaning out the garage with my youngest son, who probably made most of the mess. My hubby is working. I am sweating my butt off. Now we are going to skateboard. I wish I was on my 3rd glass of wine, but I prefer red. Hope your evening is great!!
