It’s Tuesday, but it feels like a Monday. Holiday weeks are tricky like that. It’s like you know what day it is, but it tries very hard to trip you up. Not that I’m complaining, not in the least. I love holiday weekends. They make me happy. It’s just hard to focus the rest of the week.
This weekend was nice. Weird but nice. I’ll tell you all something funny. This was the first holiday weekend spent without my kids, that I was okay with. Now, I realize Labor Day isn’t much of a holiday. But hey, I’ve gotta start somewhere right? It was their dad’s weekend, as well as his birthday, so he took them camping.
I’m not a fan of camping. I mean to say, I despise it. Ha. I found a major plus of divorce. No more camping. Ever.
I managed to do some clothes shopping for me. My mommy sent me a gift card, so literally the only money I spent all day, was two cupcakes, because a new cupcake place opened up. SCORE!!!! It was strange and a bit wrong to try on sweaters and jeans when it was 97 degrees outside, but I did it anyway. Got some cool stuff actually.
I cleaned out my closet and the girls closets and dressers. I have seven trash bags full of clothes to donate. I bagged up two bags of Harrison’s clothes to pass on to a cousin. Plus another bag of baby toys. The kid turns two later this month. He doesn’t need rattles laying around anymore.
I managed to clean most of my house. It feels nice. Lighter. Cleaner. Something.
There is a huge fire in Boulder which is say 40 miles away from my house. It’s huge and out of control and the air quality is just bad right now. I’m having trouble and Bailey has already had to have one nebulizer treatment so far today. Fun times. I just hope they manage to get it under control soon. So many houses and trees have burned, it’s just sad.
That’s about all I know. How was your weekend?



Mine included the MIL shopping for the baby, so more baby crap is sitting in my living room now. yay? And another “date night” dinner. but mine didn’t include cupcakes so you win.
Yay for clean house!

@Cherry, I don’t know, that all sounds pretty good. The cupcakes weren’t amazing. So there’s that.
I know the feeling. And also, M loves camping and I refuse to go. Married or not…this girl is NOT compromising.

@becky, Camping is evil.
I had a fun date and after was driving back over the hill into Boulder and saw the smoke. So the rest of yesterday was spent making sure no smoke got into our house so my asthmatic roommate could survive.
I hope you guys are doing ok with breathing, I see how hard it is for her.

@Dinwizzle, Luckily all that wind yesterday cleared it out. But bleh, it’s still not under control, I heard.
You mentioned your home feels “lighter” after cleaning the stuff out, but when I get those types of things (so infrequently) accomplished, I feel lighter.
Our weekend was good. Some time spent with family that went too quickly and now it’s fun times back in the office. Not.
