Tired Thursday
How was your 4th?
Ours was super low-key. FIL came and picked up DefConn in the morning. DH cleaned out the garage while I did laundry and other stuff around the house. DH's uncle stopped by for about an hour. I helped DH finish the garage and then we went out to dinner (the kiddo worked).
When we got home from dinner, we watched Arrival. Alien movies are not normally my thing, but it was really good. The story was really interesting. It also helps that I adore Amy Adams.
Tonight, we have to do more pick up and packing. DH's friend from CA is coming to stay with us next week. His son (a year older than the kiddo) lives here. I thought he was coming earlier this summer and then we never heard anything from him. I guess next week works out better for him. Thankfully, we don't really have anything going on. DH basically told him that he's on his own while we're working and whatever our other normal activities are.
I'm ready to float around the pond at the farm with a beer in my hand.
Prudie coming up.

Re: Tired Thursday
Work is pretty dead, lots of people off the rest of the week. I have tons to do but my motivation is hard to find right now. Need to power through and enjoy the quiet.
Yesterday was the neighborhood bike parade and picnic. The kids had a blast then went to a neighbors for a water balloon fight. There was awkwardness with the neighbor that was a friend, ghosted me, seems to be trying to be friends again, I don't know. I'm just not sure it's worth it. I'm starting to think I'm just not one of those people that has super close friendships and wants to be with others constantly.
DH is off the rest of the week. We're going to Kings Island tomorrow. Still undecided if we'll go tonight and stay over or just do down and back tomorrow.
I've started my vacation lists:) Two more weeks. I can't WAIT!!
@mrsconn23- Atlantic Beach. We haven't been to a beach since 6let was 9 months old. I'm STOKED.
Today after work I have a wake for a coworker's dad. He fell off a retaining wall on his riding lawn mower and the mower landed on top of him. How horrible.
I am supremely unmotivated at work all of a sudden. I don't know if it was the weird week or just the heat here, but I don't want to do anything.
getting ready for Memphis this weekend.
@6sfn, that sounds like a fun vaca!
@mrsconn23, I'll have to watch that movie. I wanted to see it in theaters, but didnt' get around to it.
Tuesday was great. We got out at 1:00. I had a 2:30 doc appt so I did go shopping. the night before i read that I shouldn't be doing the body fat loss test if you're on your menstrual cycle, and guess who was smack dab into her cycle? This girl. I did it anyway because yesterday worked so perfect for me knowing I'd get out early. It's 1/2 hour to the doc. 1 hour appt and then 1/2 hour back to work, so when I go on my "lunch" hour during a regular work week, I'm taking 2 hours for it and I hate that!
Anyway even with that no no the surgeon and nutritionist seemed very impressed with the results. Phew. So I'll plan to go to my 1 year follow up when I'm not on my cycle and we'll see how that goes.
Yesterday H and I sat around and watched crazy ex girlfriend (NOT liking Season 3 as much), cooked, and then I realized H was really low on jeans so we went to Big R to find him his carharts, which are becoming more and more hard to find and ended up with only one pair of wranglers instead. He's not big enough for the "big and tall" section and yet not thin enough for the regular section. He's like....in between the two sections. annoying! But like @shessocold said, the store was empty!
I ended up going to my parents' party, but luckily and unexpectedly, things went fine! No snide comments.
I’m glad everyone had a good fourth. Ours was good. I messed everyone up with my sangria. Lol. I’m a little irritated with FBIL’s grandparents. They made a huge stink about never being invited to events, they put me in an awkward spot asking if they could bring their dog (who they weren’t planning on bringing to their other BBQ so wtf), I prepared extra food, and they didn’t even show. The rest of us had a good time and it wasn’t too hot out that we couldn’t sit in the shade and enjoy it. Today we all have work off so it’s relaxing and cleaning up on the itinerary.
SSC - That's is horrifying and so sad.
Jen - Glad you were able to have a nice time and your mom kept her trap shut!
Pam - You might be able to find DH's size online. I just ordered H a vest and good dress shirt from DL - they are a big & tall shop. They had a wide array of sizes in big, but not tall. H is only 5'10, so doesn't really qualify for tall. But the clothes I got fit nicely and he liked them. They had all types of clothes from casual to formal.
Our 4th was nice, until I let my frustrations with DD out at H. So we had a spat for the remainder of the evening. We went to his friend's house for a BBQ and pool time, which was good. Everything went down hill afterwards. We weren't going to any fireworks shows anyway, since DD would be in bed, but it wasn't the way I wanted the day to end. We are good now.
Tonight is the Jimmy Buffett show, but I don't have anyone to go with! I love his music and can go with the all day partying to see him, unlike some who go just because its a big party! So I will be going down to the show a little after 7 by myself. Hopefully I can park in the same lot as last year to make it easier to get home again.
Pediatric dental is an Essential Health Benefit (EHB) under the ACA. But EHB's are only required for individual and small employer (under 50) plans. While many large group plans also cover EHBs they are not required to, or some will cover some EHBs but not all.
