As I write this from my "home office," the fence guys are installing the gate on the driveway. This is the gate we were supposed to get about a month ago. Along with the fence we were supposed to get about two months ago. But I am not bitter. I am looking forward to a weekend that does not include chasing Leo or the dog down the driveway. I am trying to muster up the courage to ask the fence company for a discount. I am not good with haggling or confrontations but this whole experience has been downright ridiculous. I feel that we are owed something. I know, doesn't everyone?
Oh and I am off work today. We get what it called "summer Fridays" two times a month from June to August. Not bad, I admit. A four day work week is so humane. I wish it would catch on in this country.
It is not yet noon and already I have shopped for groceries for the week, returned a skirt at Target that I didn't need, and cleaned out the shed (there was an unfortunate incident involving squirrels and a large bag of bird seed. Don't ask). I know that I should try to just chill for a few minutes but it's tempting to try to do a million things when I have time alone without the kids. Free time is so precious. Ellie is at daycare and Leo is at school. And no I don't feel guilty. But I do feel the need to be productive.
Thank goodness the humidity has broken. It is simply gorgeous today. Even this gray sky loving Pacific Northwest native can appreciate some sun.
Happy weekend to all.
