So tomorrow I head back to work after 4 days off. Seems like the story of my life but, I didn't get everything accomplished over the past 4 days that I would have liked to. My house isn't spotless, my garden is not weeded, and I still have boxes sitting around the house waiting on that yard sale. Holly cancelled on me again--I'm pretty sure that it's time to just give the stuff away and forget the yard sale. So I'm going to give some jigsaw puzzles to my co-workers that want them, and the clothes I plan to donate to a local church--the rest is going to MUNCH, a local group that has a thrift store. Actually if you go and put your stuff on their porch after hours, it's a guarantee that it won't be there in the morning. I have actually put leftover yard sale items on their porch, went back for a second load and returned to find the first load gone. One topic down.
Topic two--Vacation. It's fast approaching and we still don't know what day we are leaving for Minnesota. Doyle's work is holding up the decision. If he has to work on the 10th, then it will be the 11th, if not, then the 10th. I hate indecision, I can't even begin to think about packing when I don't know how many days we will be gone. Then to top it off, Sunday the 18th is my Sunday to work, so we will have to be home by Saturday, but I would like to be home on Friday so that I can have a day to unpack, do laundry, and just get myself ready to go back to work. That probably won't happen, but I can hope. I hate to be that way, but I really NEED that day at home before heading back to work! This will be my only vacation this year (except for taking time off and staying home) and I hope that it's enjoyable!!
Topic three--Father's Day. It was great. Brad and Chely brought steaks for supper that Doyle grilled. I made baked potatoes, salad, cheese tray, relish tray, etc...... We had so much food, Doyle and I will be having leftovers for the rest of the week. Which works really good for me, ha ha!! Patrick broke my heart when he didn't want to go home--he just wanted to stay and climb those trees!! My nephew, Luke and his girlfriend, Chelsea joined us for supper. They have pretty much become a fixture for Sunday family dinners. Brad and Luke have so much in common, and Chely and Chelsea are pretty close, so they like to have them come join us. We enjoy it to, I love having lots of family over.
Topic four--4th of July. I want to have a blow out bbq/party this year. My sister and her family (kids and grandkids) will be in Missouri during the holiday, so I've volunteered to have a July 4th bbq here at the house. Now I'm debating on having it on July 3rd in the evening. That way more of the family can come and we can have fireworks. The Howell County fireworks will be on the 4th so this way we could have fireworks two nights. I miss Irene so much, that I want to treat her family to a good time during the holiday. Now that means that I need to get to Springfield and buy party goods--I'm thinking red/white/blue bunting on the fences, lanterns around the deck and a big pinata for the kids to bust!!! Sounds like a blast to me!!!
So, now I think that I'm caught up. Oh, except the crap that's going on at work. But, that's another story for another night. I'm all typed out for now!
