Ahh...It's Monday!
This is a discussion on Ahh...It's Monday! within the Adoption and other Options forums, part of the Trying to Conceive - Infertility category; What did everyone do this weekend?

I found out last week my favorite auntie has cancer, but that it is pretty curable. I am going to make a trip out there in a couple weeks. LA in April sounds good to me. I spent some of my weekend looking for tickets.
This weekend we finished my DH's "man cave". It is SO nice to have a normal house again that doesn't look like a business office on the main floor. I bought a room size rug for the den and that sure brightend up everything as well.
I am back working 30 hours this week, but my boss is thinking she will come back part time next week so my hours could go down to 20 a week. That will be fine with me.
For the weekend we went and stayed at the beach just to get out of the house. Well the weather was just perfect on friday and saturday so friday we took a long stroll down the beach in our barefeet picking up the trash that has washed ashore. Then saturday we did a little retail therapy shopping, i swear depression is so hard on the budget.
Sunday was just a miserable day out but we had my aunt, uncle and cousin over for breakfast which was really nice.

K-
I am so glad you were able to get down to the beach house to relax. It is very nice you have that option.
Depression is hard on the budget. However, retail therapy works! My problem is the Coach store usually beckons me in when I am at my worst. Few hundred later I am feeling MUCH better. That, and lots of beer works too.
You know Lu said to me this weekend she thinks we finally bought that home because in some unconsious way we knew we would need it to get away from home everyone once and while.
I'll be honest saturday night we drank our dinner ( I know, I know) not good but it sure did make me feel better.
Our retail therapy was done at Lowes--- we bought a washer and dryer- nothing fancy cheapest ones in the store but man it felt good to just spend some money.

This weekend we spent putting the final touches on our 4th bedroom (we converted our 2 car garage into a big bedroom)! We went out and bought Valerie a new bed and then 2 extra twin beds we can use later on for the foster kiddos.
K, ah going to the beach right around now sounds so good to me. I'm glad you got to get away for a while.
K, it is good that you and Lu have the beach house as a escape getaway ...godd for you b/c that is what both of you need right now
Me, had a baby shower on Sat...and then had the In laws over the weekend...and a little argument with MIL...I hate when she come to my house and has the guts to tell me what I need to do like I'm a child and not a grown up!...I don't remember I I mentioned before that Zoulanche is doing her First Communion at the end of the month and we are doing a small celebration....well, my hubby and me decided on what kind of food we want have and she comes and start demanding that we need to do this and that...and I was like what is wrong with you?...but instead I had to sit and listen and said nothing and kind of agree with what she was saying...anyway, after they left I had a talk with hubby and told him that we better stick to our plan at the end we are the ones that are paying for the food so is not to her to choose what to serve...is not her house!...sorry for the vent!

I am so sorry to hear about your aunt. I am glad to hear that it is at least a treatable.
I had dinner with friends down by the ocean saturday evening..had a good time. Then, We went to Carmel on sunday and walked around and had brunch. (YUM)
That was pretty much our weekend.
Thanks for the good thoughts for my auntie. She had really good news at the surgeons yesterday. They think they caught it really early and it hasn't spread so she doesn't have to go through some of the ickier treatments that they were talking about (radio active iodine, etc.) I still want to go out and see her, but it doesn't seem as pressing right now she thinks.
Still waiting for the phone to ring.......RING DARNIT RING! I am tired of waiting. It has been a month today since we have been on "the list".
Last night I went to dinner with a friend to Dead Lobster (our pet name for red lobster) and had the Asian Shrimp. OMG. Delish! It is so good, and not deep friend so kind of healthy as it is served over a side of broccoli.
Today it is work, work, work and then home to run kids around again.
We had a horrible weekend. Friday we tried to renew our I600A, which was changed to the I800A on the 1st of April, unknown to us. Then we were told our home study had to be done by a Hague Accredited agency, which ours is not, then we were told we would have to start our adoption process all over again, losing our place in line after waiting for almost 2 years. Currently things are working out okay, but we are holding our breath! Our agency had a "sister agency" approve our home study and we are going to file the I800A on Friday.

Mely, I'm sorry you had a fight with your MIL. Sometimes I am so thankful not have the whole inlaw situation, although I believe I would have like my MIL, I'm not so sure about the FIL part.
Andrea- Oh my gosh that is so insane!!! If your agency bumps you when they didn't even tell you the proper way to do the paperwork I'd be contacting the higher ups. I hope they pull their heads out of their buttocks and get to helping you out!!!
