Acting Balanced: It's Friday!

It's Friday!

Since it's Finally Friday, I'm looking forward to a really fun weekend - heading to three events at the Wine and Food Festival... so excited! I've even got a date night in there with Wayne tonight! Of course it means that I'm going to have to work my butt off to work off all the yummy treats and wine...

Luckily we have house guests coming Sunday (my parents) and more on Monday (Wayne's parents) so I will get my exercise toting laundry and cleaning up after the boys...

The boys have been tag teaming us - one sleeps or the other, but not both... but I'm hoping that tonight is the night!

I asked this on the Acting Balanced Facebook page, but since it's a fragged thought I'll ask it here too... we gave up cable a few years ago and had a full Netflix package... we downgraded to just streaming without realizing that we'd be giving up two streams... now we're at a crossroads - get a second Netflix account, add HuluPlus, add Amazon Prime or do something else... - any thoughts?

Pop back on Sunday to see some of the yummy treats that I get to eat today!

That is the end of my Friday Fragments and now to start on Fill ins...

1. Sometimes I think I am getting a good nights sleep, but I feel worse on those nights... hoping one day to get back to a normal sleep pattern...
2. When I wear makeup I feel less like Mom and more like Heather...
3. When in doubt, read the instructions...
4. The easiest way to make me happy is to make me a cup of tea....

A date night sounds great. Sleep sounds even better! LOL Good luck.

Hi Heather, nice to meet you! I remember those days when my children were little. Sigh. I hope you get some rest soon. I know what you mean about the makeup. I went for years without wearing any. My little sweethearts barely gave me time to breath, let alone do anything special for myself. But they grow up...

One day they'll be grown up and you'll get all the sleep you want then! I know it's hard though, I used to have one who was on the go all day and the other was on the go all night. Fortunately my ex-husband usually got up in the night. It's true though, they grow up so quickly. My two boys are now 20 and 21!

Oooooh! I'm a tad jealous of the Wine and Food Festival - hopefully you'll be posting about it so I can live vicariously through you! ;)

Why is it that kids can't seem to coordinate their sleep time? Little Dude is the worst offender on the 'not sleeping' mode. Maybe it's a boy thing. ;) Hope yours get on the same schedule soon so you can stay sane! :)

We've been thinking about getting rid of cable - it's gotten so expensive! We have both Amazon Prime and Hulu Plus - I haven't watched anything on Amazon Prime yet, but the hubby has. Most of my favorites happen to be on Hulu Plus. The hubby canceled Netflix because between Amazon Prim and Hulu+ we're pretty much covered - plus we like the extra benefits of Amazon Prime (being able to 'borrow' books for free for our Kindles, and free shipping when we place orders there). :)

Oh sleep, dreaming of sleep..I hope you get some good sleep soon. Doesn't it just drive you crazy to have them tag team you??

What happened with the 2 streams? We don't have cable either, nor Netflix, so I am unaware of issues with the streaming. I would suggest writing down exactly what you are missing and hoping to see. Find out which service will give them to you on demand (because I understand the life of a mother) and do cost analysis. Which one gives you exactly what you are looking for. Good luck :-)

I am reintroducing myself to make up and having a blast! I didn't realize what a hit to my self esteem I was constantly taking over the past few years.

I feel prettier in makeup. I just don't like having to look at myself so much in the mirror first thing in the morning.

Date nights are always fun! Having company is a good incentive for me to clean and clean fast.....

I'm not sure after children, the sleep pattern ever goes back to normal.....but I hope it does for you!

Have a great weekend!

I can't help you with your netflix/hula dilemma being addicted to sports and thus having the largest Dish package EVER.

sorry I'm so slow getting around to all the frags this week - - - I HOPE it's a case of better late than never.

I always tell my husband I love him because he brings me tea in the morning. I hope your company arrives safely and you all have a great time.
I need to think about giving up cable and cell phones. Between the 2 I may go bankrupt.
Enjoy your weekend.

What's the special occasion that will bring both sets of grandparents for a visit? (just curious)
That's a tough question...maybe the cheaper of the Hulu and Netflix options?
Thanks for linking up, Heather. Sorry it's been forever since I've visited; looking forward to catching up :)
