What Weekend?
A weekend, as I recall, is supposed to be filled with laziness and fun with light sprinkles of productivity.
They are supposed to start off with a fabulous lunch with someone who flew all the way down from Iowa, followed by a tiny little birthday party at your parent’s house for your husband and son.
A weekend is also supposed to be spent possibly going to the beach or at the very least lounging around in a huge salt water pool at said parents house. Once you get home from your parent’s house, said weekend is then supposed to be spent cleaning and reorganizing your office so you can get some writing done up in here.
Then, it’s supposed to be spent casually revising your knowledge of the French language for an exam that has to be taken next Friday. It is also supposed to be spent revising the first and last chapters of your thesis which you really should have been doing aaaalll summer, but slacked on in order to expand your cultural horizons and gallivant on the other side of the world.
Do you know what weekends are NOT supposed to be spent doing?
They are NOT supposed to be spent fretting over how both of your children should be wearing a T-Shirt that says, “My mom ditched me to go to NYC and all she brought back was this lousy VIRUS.”
How was your weekend? Did everything go as planned? If so, exactly how much does your voodoo woman charge for her services and does she take American Express?
P.S. The baby is fine and barely has a temperature, and I can tell he’s fighting it off. Go nursing! N., on the other hand, is super duper sick.

Oh dear, we’re doing THAT guilt trip, are we? Poor N.
That totally blows chunks.
Poor mama. Poor bebehs.
That sucks!
My weekend was great, but the next few days are going to be punishing (since I hardly worked over the weekend).
Get well soon, little mini-Faiqas.
Awww. Hope everyone’s better as soon as possible!
But that virus could’ve been from anywhere. Seriously.
I spent Saturday at a craft beer festival on the East End of LI in gorgeous weather (remember the hot, humid weather in NYC while you were here? Not so much anymore), and Sunday taking turns trying to perfect a backflip off a rope swing into a pool at my sister’s house.
So, yeah…mission accomplished.
Sorry about the pukey tykes.
I guess that’s the price you pay for becoming famous on the Internet.
Need me to bring you guys some soup and 7up or something?
Hope the babies feel better soon!
And yeah, there was barely any weekend here, school shopping, gah!
Poor babies! You didn’t know that BlogHer would be such a germ fest, eh?
im not gonna just come right out and SAY that you probably caught something nasty from Earl…
but we both know that you probably did….
Aww..I hope the babies feel better soon. It does take a toll on us mommies when the little ones are not feeling good. I hope the rest of your week goes better.
On a seperate note..I got to see your mom again. You are so lucky to have such an amazing woman in your life. She truly has a unique loving soul. Love her love her love her:-)
I also happened to see (not meet) one of your friends. I believer that you titled her “The ODDG”). She has the most adorable son who kept her on her toes the entire night:-) Hope we will get the pleasure of seeing you in Daytona one of these days:-)
Oh no, that sounds awful. I hope you guys get to feeling better soon. Also, please stay away until you do. I don’t want anyone in my house getting sick.
Poor babies – and poor Mom! I hope everyone is feeling better soon!
My weekend was the start of a week-long staycation, so it was great! It’s amazing how much better a weekend is when you don’t have to go to work on Monday.

Blame the spammers, not BlogHer. Doof.
Sorry your weekend was hosed.
There is nothing worse than a sick summer weekend. Yuck. Hope you’re all better soon.
I hope everyone recovers soon. You idea of the weekend sounded so filled with glee (and I’m not talking about the high school based series on tv)
