So what is everyone's plans for this weekend? </span>

<span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS">I'm working today and then my mom is going to meet me this afternoon at my house and we are going to Little Rock for the night. We are walking in the Race for the Cure tomorrow morning. We went last year and it was such a moving experience. There were over 45,000 women and men walking all for ONE cause. It is special to me because my mom found out last year that she had breast cancer at the age of 52. She ended up having to have a mastectomy and then had reconstructive surgery. She was such a fighter and soooo brave. We went together last year and it was a very special thing for both of us. But anyway. That's my plans for the weekend. I will be back late saturday to spend time with the hubby and kids.

Wow Jennifer, that is so scary. I am glad you're mom is OK, but that must have been so hard on all of you. The race sounds great. I've always thought about doing something like that, but never gotten off my butt to do it. Have a great time!
It's Connor's birthday tomorrow and Eva's due date on Sunday, so it will be a bitter sweet weekend for sure. I had been so hoping I would be pregnant before her due date, but I only gave birth to her three months ago so that wasn't entirely realistic. I just feel so conflicted. I decided not to do Connor's party this weekend because I didn't want there to be any negative emotions associated with his big day, but then I kind of feel guilty about that, too. Like I should have sucked it up for him? I don't know. It is also Thanksgiving this weekend, and I've already told everyone that I am not taking part in any festivities. I just don't feel particularly festive, if you know what I mean. I am getting mixed reactions from people about this. I think I will maybe make cupcakes and have a little birthday dinner for Connor tomorrow. Honestly, I have no concrete plans, I am just going to play it by ear.

Hun. I will be thinking about you this weekend. I am sure it will not be an easy one but i think you should do what you feel. Connor is young enough that I don't think he will really know a difference whether it's this weekend or the next. I wouldn't worry about what other people think. Until they have been where you are, I don't think they have a right to make you think you are wrong or feel bad for not participating. Wish that adorable little boy a Happy birthday and I hope that ya'll do have a great weekend considering the circumstances.

My mom is doing great. Thanks. The race is really amazing. It's a 3 mile walk and takes about 2 hours or so and it's such a wonderful experience. If you ever get the chance, it's a life changing experience.

Yep. I will be MIA at an out of town wedding. It should be fun, but I'm not really looking forward to all that time in the car.

Hugs to both of you on your emotional weekends.
I wanted to do the Light the Night walk here, but I don't know anyone with a team to join or people to join with me and it landed on a weekend we were going to be out of town. Next year I really want to and I'm going to plan ahead for it. My dad died of Lymphoma, so I know it will be hard, but it's something I need to do.

As for my weekend, I'm not sure what we'll be doing. DH and I really don't get out much together and I told him I'd like to go out together on Saturday night, but we'll see if we actually get to. I'd really like to spend some time out with him and have som fun, so I hope we can pull it off. I think I'd also like to make it to an apple orchard for some family time.

We are also doing a walk this weekend...it's to help raise money to find a cure for Juvenile diabetes. Taeleigh's little friend was diagnosed just over a year ago and she has to suffer through so much at such a young age.

Apart from that not much else...we are selling one of your cars so I'll be washing and cleaning it till it shines!!
