Time to relax!

I'm a huge fan of the mid-week 4th of July because it means my husband gets a 5 day weekend! That means I get 5 days without having this conversation with Faith:

Faith: Daddy?
Me: He's at work.
Faith: Work?
Me: Yes, he's at work.

I literally have that conversation 80 times a day. When she hears the garage door, she says "Home!" and then proceeds to ignore him as punishment for him daring to leave her for this "work" thing.

Can you believe he leaves me with this crazy woman all day?

My 4th of July plans involve an early morning group run and then a pool party in the afternoon. I'll probably pencil a nap between those two things because I'm such a party animal. In my defense, it's pretty exhausting dragging this load around.

My pelvis hates me so much

The plan for the rest of the weekend is to learn how to relax at the dog's level. She's a professional.

Sup?

Well, not really. We still have this to prevent any deep levels of relaxation:

Did someone order a crazy toddler hug??

What are your plans for the 4th?

  2. Faith looks so much more like a kid and so much less like a baby in that picture. And Peanut looks like she should be drinking tea with her pinky up.

  5. My 4th plans involve an early a.m. run and then a cookout with the in-laws. Then it's back to work on Thursday. I took vacation days Monday and Tuesday this week, so I'm on the downhill side of my 5-day weekend. I kinda wish I'd gone ahead and taken Thursday and Friday too...

    1. At least work should be quiet the rest of the week with everyone off? Haha, work is for suckers.

  6. Beach then BBQ at a friend's house. I have the same conversation with the B, but since I'm only without daddy for 4 hours, I only have the conversation 16 times. It's loads of fun. The B does cling to daddy when he gets home. It used to make me sad but recently I've been thankful for the break.

    1. I love when she's all about daddy. That means mommy gets to sit on her ass and relax. :)

  7. I have got to get my lazy butt outside for a long run this morning. Then I'm planning to sit on my couch, watch Game of Thrones and nap. Fireworks tonight, if the storms hold off.

    1. Nope, that's just a Champion top from Target, but it's stretchy and has an empire waist.

  9. I'm sweating my ass off before this race even starts, then my mom is making a huge breakfast and I'm flying back to Bmore for the fireworks. We don't understand calendars here in upstate NY and no one has fireworks on the 4th.

  11. Hope you get that nap in! I think I'm gonna try for one, too. We're relaxing this morning and then heading to a bbq this afternoon. Enjoy the 5 day daddy weekend, I'm jealous!

  12. I managed to PR a 5K, eat a huge lunch, and take a massive nap. I'd call that a successful day. :-)

  13. Uh, apparently my husband decided to get trashed with the neighbors and refuse to get out of their pool during a lightning storm. I married a genius. We are currently listening to the fireworks during a thunderstorm. The dog may never recover.

  14. I wish I had taken a 5 day week!! Do you know the baby's hair color yet??

    Faith is going to learn that ignoring a man isn't punishment - talking his ear off and asking about feelings totally is.

    She's a cutie.

  15. Enjoy the long weekend! You get major kudos in my book for carrying around the extra load in the SUMMER. And still running while carrying the extra load in the SUMMER. So pretty much I'm saying you're awesome.

  16. Good top. Gives you a nice rack. That's basically the only reason I'm jealous of pregnant women. Glad you enjoyed the 4th! British people don't seem to find it amusing when I dance around saying, "down with British tyranny! Happy 4th of July!"

  17. I heard that you're the fattest pregnant chick.



    I've seen fatter.
