15 years ago today, h asked me to go out on a date. We celebrated our dating anniversary on the 4th for years. He mentioned going out for a late lunch to celebrate. We will see what today brings.
I woke up at 5:20 to check into our Southwest flight tomorrow morning and now I can't get back to sleep. I'm going to suggest DH run over to Dunkin Donuts and get us breakfast and me coffee . I still have so much to do to get ready. I haven't even packed yet, and have about 20 other things to do on top of it.
Monday is my birthday. I kinda want to get a small cake to have tonight.
I'm up and drinking coffee. Kids are at my moms. H will wake up soon and we are going off shore fishing with friends. NO KIDS! Woohoo! Then meeting up with the kids later for fireworks.
I already got too much sun yesterday. My kids had a blast though. Look how cute.
I really need to eat healthy today. Nothing makes you feel that way better than a bunch of pics taken of yourself in a bathing suit.

H has been working a lot and has this weekend off unexpectedly. We are cleaning this morning, having family over this afternoon and going on a family day trip to some caves early tomorrow. I'm so excited for family time! Not excited that I got my period the day before cave exploring.
I'm too old to stay upside late. Our block did fireworks last night, and H and I stayed up drinking with some of the neighbors. I foresee a nap for me today!
I am running a color run this morning. I an going to try to avoid the color lol. I had to control my drinking last night so I could be s athlete today. Waah waah
I cruised with a high school friend in her dad's 70 corvette. Small town USA FTW.
Lounging with coffee still. Probably take a ride in the 64 later and pick up a garage door opener. Drinks with neighbors later but I ate way more than I ever have in my life last night, so I'll drink and eat light today. Esp with this week off running, I'd like to take the opportunity to get my eating back on track. I've enjoyed treats too much with my 45-50 miler weeks. This week will get my back on track! :-) Too many Gigi cupcakes last night. I'm actually dizzy this am. Too much sugar ugh
We're watching cloudy with a chance of meatballs. DS2 has two staples in his head that are covered by band aids that I some how have to remove to check the staples twice today.
I have a crap ton to do to get ready for vacation.
I'm going to a 90 minute master class at the gym instead.
We're supposed to go to a friends for swimming and bbq this afternoon, but it's supposed to rain. I'm so burnt out on socializing that I'm kind of hoping she cancels rather than tries to host us indoors.
We are going to the farmers market this morning. Then we are going to set DS up with his sand table and I'm parking in the front yard to watch him. DH has to work on the cars. He's going to do some routine maintenance and check my brake pads. They've been really squeaky lately which happens when it rains a lot (which it has) but I want him to double check.
We are going to try and watch fireworks from our 2nd story porch tonight. I'm not sure if we will see them but we are going to try.
Also today would've been my moms74th bday. I used to love to celebrate with 4th with her and her bday. I can't believe she's been gone 5 years! My mom was the absolute the best. I miss her daily. It was always such fun. My moms bday the 4th, h's is tomorrow and my dad's is Monday. We always had huge 4th bc of it all

We are going to a party at my brother's house. It's a retirement party for my dad but my brother is using it (read: taking my mother's money for food and booze) as his own personal party. He and SIL invited their own friends. That's not the worst of it. Brother hasn't spoken to me, my husband or my daughter in 3 years. I feel so fucking uncomfortable. It's not easy to go to a home owned by people who hate you.
We are headed three hours away for my brother's wedding.
I called my sister last night to what time they were leaving and she said they were planning on being at the church at 3:00 for pictures. Brother told me 2:00. I called Brother and he said 2:30, so I asked him for the actual time he wants us all there. He said that's the time he's told all of us and told me not to call him again.
My FI is at work this morning so I am about to go to the pool. Not sure what we are doing this afternoon. I bought hotdogs to grill and watermelon and cherry pie for dinner. it is one of the only days I will have a hot dog,
We actually had fireworks in our town last night and didn't even have to leave our yard!. Which is fine with me I hate getting in all the firework traffic downtown in the 4th

All week I've had it in my head I'm going to Chicago with my son on Monday. It's not until NEXT MONDAY, IDIOT! I'm wicked disappointed because I wanna go! Meanwhile, I discovered the easiest dessert in the history of desserts: Cream cheese fruit tart. The filling is supposed to be just cream cheese and sugar, but that sounded kind of gross to me so I used homemade mixed berry jam (ETA: to sweeten the cream cheese, I mean) and it is so good. Cookie underneath, sliced fruit on top, bam.

Cream cheese and sugar sounded gross?
Get out! We don't need that negativity around here

Okay, maybe. But you have to agree that cream cheese and jam sounds better!
Ugh I slept like crap. First, I couldn't fall asleep because I started coughing all of a sudden. I guess I need to start my allergy meds again. Then I woke up in the middle of the night with a new mosquito bite itching like crazy. I also had weird dreams. Blah.
Today H is working. I think I'm going for a hike, then day drinking on my patio and reading. Tonight we are grilling out and watching the fireworks our neighbors set off.
OMG and we ended up next to a family with kids at the fireworks last night, which of course is fine. But one of the kids kept screaming "PURPLE!" so loud every time a firework went off and most of the time it wasn't even purple lol. And he would not. stop. yelling. so loud. I was regretting not smuggling in alcohol by the end of it.
A group my mom is part of is selling donuts for a fundraiser, so I went and got some of those this morning. Dh has to work today and my only real plan is to try to wear out the dog so he's sleepy and less concerned with all the fireworks tonight.
