Weekend 11/11...the good/bad/ugly

Forgot to write yesterday so you'll get double posts one day this week, because my goal was 30 in 30.

 

here on a rainy Monday morning, with a hopefully not too negative perspective on the weekend.

 

The Good:

• Friday night movie night was definitely a win-win. The boys watched Charlotte's Web while G and I had cocktails and conversation.
• I gave a talk at a CME program my division put on for primary care providers. It went well despite minimal preparation and I got good questions
• We went to my cousin's house for dinner and it was nice. She lives in the area yet we never see each other, because an hour drive is still a bit much. She is pretty cool and a fantastic cook and this was a good step in trying to establish a closer relationship.
• I made a big batch of Thai curry butternut squash soup for the neighborhood soup group (6 households take turns making soup and sharing). It turned out perfect, and I've got 3 servings for lunches in the fridge.
• I tried on all my new clothes/shoes and had many winners! I'm wearing my gray wedge boots today!

The Bad:

• I didn't get to exercise at all. My back hurt at baseline and I didn't feel comfortable pushing my luck with a run.
• I overate/drank all weekend
• The new pizza place was meh.
• I forgot to plant my bulbs. Its getting pretty late in the season.

The Ugly:

• The undercurrent to all of this was that the kids were in terrible form all day Saturday and most of Sunday. B just woke up grumpy and complained his way throughout the weekend. L likes to egg him on and there was lots of fighting/hitting. Ugh.
