  No big plans here.  We've invited a couple over but are waiting to hear from them.  We're planning a local road trip to the river towns one day.  Otherwise just sleeping in and hanging out.  I have some bunting I want to put out today to make the place look festive.  
  
  Work has been dragging this week and I imagine today will be really slow.  I only have  three day weeks for the next two weeks so that's a bonus.  
  
  Hope others have a chance to enjoy the weekend and relax!

  Tomorrow looks like a BUST.  It started raining last night and it will probably go on and off until Sunday.  I'm planning to keep scrubbing my floor, maybe a fun breakfast for the kids and I may see if I can do an upper body bike bootcamp now that my 10 lb weights are here.    If the time works I may scrub my shower.  Aren't you jealous? 
  
  I probably need to start organizing my office and get the trip things in a bag vs a box.  If the day turns into an "in plant holiday" then I may get on that now. 
  
  Sunday afternoon the plan is to get on the boat if the weather improves.  Then Monday BIL and SIL should be in town and the goal is to be poolside all day followed by photos at 7.  I know MIL gets her anxiety up when BIL visits so I may need some more adult beverages.

  Take all the adult bevvies you need @banana468!
  
  

  It’s been slow this week at work. I’m just killing time before I get out of here and head to the lakehouse. I was going to take either today or Tuesday off but 3 days with the P’s are more than enough for me. I’d rather use PTO for more long weekends.
  
  The 6th, when I get back, will be my last infidelity group I’ll be hosting.  It costs $180/year to keep a group, and while I do get some participants in it still, and I loved helping people even after my own divorce, I’m over it.  I have been running it since April 2017, and the guy that was lending me his zoom account isn’t renewing it either.  I feel like I talked my story to death, and I’m just over it.  I’m focusing on my travel meetup and the other ones focused on fun from now on! I know there’s a need for this group, so I hope I get a volunteer to take it over, but probably won’t because of the cost.

  Ugh, I'm so mad the weather is not cooperating. It's like a re-do of Memorial Day weekend. 
  
  We're BBQ at work today so that will be fun. 
  
  Tomorrow my parents are having a BBQ at their house in PA. Thankfully catching a ride w/ my brother and SIL. 
  
  Sunday I have a BBQ at my SIL's parent's house. Should be fun. 
  
  And that's all the BBQing I need to do..haha.

  I don't have any plans this weekend either.  I flaked and didn't complete my gas station audits yesterday, so I need to complete 3 today.  My logistical error on that is I need to pick up a huge Walmart order as soon as I get off work.  I don't think much of it is refrigerated or frozen, but it's possible I'll need to go back to work for their fridge while I do my shops and then circle back.  I did bring an insulated large bag with me, so hopefully that will get me by. 
  
  I won't feel like my weekend as truly started until I get home after all of that!  So I'm hopeful to be home by 2PM.  I am focusing on just drudging through it because the start of a 3-day weekend is at the end. 
  
  I feel like I've been burning the candle at both ends again and plan to do some serious vegging out and sleeping in for my long weekend!

  I met work friends for coffee this morning and now I’m alone in the office. I lost my badge and had to get a new one reprinted so I’m at my desk and it’s WEIRD af. 

  
  

  No real plans for the weekend. Might hit the farmers market and a family picnic. The weather is supposed to be terrible so probably not much.

  We are woefully short today at work so I’m outside screening and really sad about it. I had so much to do before I leave in my office and now I might not get to it which is going to leave me stressed and anxious before my trip. Plus it’s going to be at least 100F outside and it’s hot af. 

  
  

  So 8 more hours and then I get to start vacation. I can’t wait.

  Have a great vacation @levioosa! You've certainly earned it this year.
  
  Nothing much going on here. I had a little bit of a crisis at work yesterday. Basically, someone did something stupid that had huge financial implications the day before quarter close, and then went on vacation. So I spent most of the day yesterday and today figuring out how to fix it. I am on the last step of resolving now. I think once we're done, I'm going to log off and start the weekend. To hell with the actual work that I was supposed to be doing yesterday and today.
  
  No big weekend plans. Yard and chores tomorrow; hopefully a pedi. River tubing Sunday and grilling out. Sleeping and chilling Monday.

  Thanks everyone! I’m just feeling a little extra salty because I actually put makeup on today and now I’m going to sweat it all off. Ha. Also now I have to stare at the new ice cream place that opened in our parking lot and try to withstand walking over and getting some on a break. Lol.

  I'm dreading the weekend because of some stuff going on. But on the bright spot I'm having pool time with 2 friends on Sunday while my parents watch B so at least there will be a little bit of good sandwiches between the crap! It's the little things right?!

  Yay for your much- needed vacation @levioosa
  Sending vibes @kvruns
  
  

  The kids and i had an enjoyable first week of summer vacation. Each day follows a similar pattern- breakfast followed by homeschool (they each get 20-30min of my time individually)…that takes us to 8:30-9. We do a Costco/TJ/target type errand, then either our town pool or my parents’ pool from 11-3 or so.  It’s rainy today so took them to a local museum that has a carousel next door.  Trying to keep some distance from STBXH and so far so good.  
  

  
  

  Tomorrow despite the rainy forecast kids and I are going to my parents’ for a bbq. July 4th odd years is H’s in the visitation schedule we agreed on, so I told him he could do whatever, and he wants the kids home for the local parade, the town pool hosts a kiddie olympics, he’s going to grill. He invited me to join them and I'm planning on it.  *shrug* not planning on him being part of my holidays but if I'm welcome at his, and I’m not doing anything else, why not?

  The day draggeth on. At some point I will visit my mother in the hospital or skilled nursing facility if she has been moved there as she was supposed to be moved yesterday. Unfortunately, that didn't happen and she's still in a regular room, but my father tells me she's improved.
  
  My company had a long training session scheduled for noon. Boooooooooooring.

  That is just wrong, lol!  Especially on a Friday before a 3-day weekend.
