I have two major tasks to finish up before the long weekend and I really don’t think I have it in me to be that productive today. But I also don’t really have a choice. 😕
In my ideal world, I’d spend the day prepping food and getting us ready for our camping trip, watching the semi-final game to determine whose asses we’re going to kick in the final, and watching the latest Handmaid’s Tale.

The friend watching the kids for us this summer helped them set up a little surprise birthday "party" for me yesterday, so I came home to cupcakes, streamers/balloons, and cards. It was super sweet!
I have a full work day, but my mind is already on vacation.... Brewery this evening, neighborhood pool party tomorrow, up to my parents' boat at some point over the weekend, and just generally catching up on sleep.

Headed to the shore for the 4th. My sister and I are driving DS and my nephew down; our Hs are coming down after work, and my parents are already there.
I don’t know why my parents are so excited about spending three days in a small house with 4 additional adults, 2 babies and a dog, but I’m glad. lol
Just running errands and maybe popping in to work for a bit today. I only have 1.5 weeks of maternity leave left, I'm not ready 😭 I thought I would get so much more done (I don't even know what, just... Something) and I can't believe it's already almost over!
Envious of this “long weekend” people have created. I’m working today and will easily be there past 6:00. Im working Friday and it’s my boss’ first day back from her vacation, so I would imagine it’ll be a jam packed day, as well. Thankfully, we go on our vacation next Thursday but that sounds far away and I have a lot to do before I can leave.
My husband, a major Deadhead, took me to my first Dead & Co show last night. It was amazing, but I'm dragging ass today. Also our company isn't closed on Friday and I'm super butt hurt about this.

My kid came back sick from camp on Friday. This morning I woke up with my throat on fire. Sweet. I'm glad we don't have anything planned for tomorrow. I can make it through today. My company is not closed on Friday, but if I still bad, I'm, for sure, taking a sick day. I think a lot of people will be out.
We're driving to Syracuse this afternoon to spend the long weekend with H's aunt/uncle. They're super-fun and we go up every year for the holiday. Watch fireworks tonight on the boat, get in some golfing if the storms hold off, and we're going to see Little Big Town Saturday night! I can't wait.

I agree with all of this. I also have a sore throat & not feeling well (think I overdid it on my beach vacation ); we don't have anything in particular planned for tomorrow and I am also supposed to work on Friday. But if I'm still not feeling then, we shall see! Literally everyone else in my office will be out!

Any recommendations for gluten free cookies or other sweet snacks? I'd prefer already made, packaged. We're celebrating a coworkers birthday Monday and she's GF.

Sick twins.
I hope you feel better (but also take the day off on Friday).
H only has the 4th off so we're not traveling. Just a lazy morning/early afternoon at home and then heading to a friends' house to hang out and let the kids play together.

Tate’s makes really good gluten free cookies. I usually order them online, but you may be able to find them in-store

Do you have an Aldi nearby? Their Live Gfree brand is good and their soft-baked cookies are super yummy. Trader Joes has gluten-free Jo-Jos (like Oreos) and our Meijer store carries the biggest variety of other brands. I really like the Glutino wafer cookies too.
It is painfully obvious why I have gained 15lbs since going GF.
We leave for the airport tomorrow at 5am and I still need to get laundry and packing done when I get home from work. I'm also going to stop for a pedicure on my way home. We get home Sun night but I took off mon too. I think the kids and me will go to the pool all day.
I'm sad my friend/neighbor didn't invite me over to celebrate her bday last night and apparently she invited other friends. I'm kind of surprised. Not sure if she's pissed at me about something. This is why I hate social media.

DH's cousin's fiance had their baby yesterday. She was not quite 31 weeks. Yikes. But the baby is 4 pounds(!) and he came out crying and kicking. From the sounds of it, he's doing quite well. They gave him DH's grandpa's name. It's making me teary to think about him hearing the news and learning the baby is named after him. Hopefully we'll get to meet him at Christmas time.
Last year we invited some friends to watch fireworks with us. This year we agreed to celebrate together again but now they invited other people that we don't know.
I'm sure it will be fine but I am just not in the mood. Plus we have this tradition of doing root beer floats (why? It's not convenient but now my kids have their hearts set on it) and we would need to provide this for all the 'extra' people.

I remember being so annoyed by people last year when they kept referring to the "long weekend" because July fourth was on a Wednesday. I can kind of see a long weekend with a Tuesday or Thursday July fourth but only when someone adds in vacation time. It was definitely not a holiday weekend last year and I remember not being able to get very much work done that week because people's "weekends" were the whole damn week.

How many extra people are we talking? If it's just another small family, I'd probably suck it up.
My friend’s mom passed away this morning. Another friend’s mom passed away 3 weeks ago. It’s like the shitty club we’re all in together. I combed Abbey out again this morning and found a few more lice. It’s going to be long ass month.

I have CUTCO knives and they keep texting me to sharpen my knives but really I know it’s a sales ploy to try and get me to buy new stuff. Anyway, the persons last name is “sharpe” and it’s making me giggle uncontrollably.

They invited someone else to your house? And they are strangers to boot?

Not our house, just the local beach for fireworks. There will be 13 of us total I think, not sure the sibling count on the added family.

I think we should have shortened our beach trip. My mom cries all.the.time about my sister. It makes doing anything difficult. I’m not diminishing her pain/loss, but she won’t go talk to anyone and her version of my addict sister’s history is hurtful to my dad and I. My sister tormented and abused me almost her whole life and I can’t pretend she was a saint just bc she passed away. I’ve begged my mom to go seek help bc she’s in serious denial and it’s hurting everyone. She’s going to ruin her life if she can’t move on and my sister did that enough an as addict for 16+ years.
DH is being a total ass. I’ve talked to him repeatedly about how mean he’s become in the last couple years and he doesn’t see it. This trip has been ridiculous dealing with his moods.
I’m just so over it and we’re here until Sunday. We were supposed to have a date night, but then DH didn’t want to go so I don’t even know if that will happen now.
I’m about to take myself shopping either this afternoon or Friday and say fuckit to all of them.

I've only worked 1.5 days as I was truely sick on Monday, and I can't get motivated. DH is working tonight and Saturday, although right now catching up on tv or reading sounds good.
I'm super extra, bought two floats for our make shift pool. Of course it slopes down so it's a mess, and it only goes up to my belly button, but I think I should be able to float...I hope. I could use a day of drinking and not doing much tomorrow.
I'm also a tad concerned about myself in a funny way. I just finished a book about a girl who was kidnapped. Now I just picked up a book off the shelf, also about 2 girls who were kidnapped at different times. Probably should pick something else up to not confused the stories, but weird this is what I'm into lately.
