Working for the Weekend

Remember that old Loverboy song---that's what I'm doing this week. I'm down to two days left to work and then it will be a nice four day holiday weekend! My sister and niece will be coming to Missouri from Kansas so that's enough to make the weekend great. Add to that the fact that Papa gets to take Emily and Patrick fireworks shopping and then we'll all get to enjoy the show. I remember always having fireworks with my brothers and sisters as kids. We would see who's sparkler would be the last to go out (although, the sparklers today don't even compare to the ones we had), and we would all watch as my Dad set off the fountains that were saved for last.

I'm meeting my sister in Springfield on Friday and we plan to go to Branson for the day. Branson has some great outlet malls and they will be having their sidewalk sales this weekend. I would also like to check out the scrapbook store there in Branson. Maybe I'll find some bargains! Then on Saturday, we plan to do a little more shopping in Springfield. Hopefully, it won't be too late when we get back to my house on Saturday evening. As far as Sunday and Monday plans, I'm leaving that open. As long as I get to spend some of the days with my grand kids, I'm good!!!
