...and my week off comes to a close. seven days of relaxation are behind me, seven days of hard work before me. my best friend and brother-in-law spent the last 2 days with us. i saw the rest of jim's siblings today at a post-baby shower dinner (his sister is due to have her baby in about a month). it was wonderful to see family. i miss everyone so much. i think that's part of my sad feelings at work - when i want to get away from work and it's stresses - i don't have the support system here that i had in the old hometown. it makes everything harder. the week after this, i'm going back to my hometown (3.5 hours away) to see my parents and brothers. i'm looking forward to that immensely.
saturday was utterly leisurely. we went out on the lake and river on a pontoon boat belonging to my husband's little sister's in-laws. we swam in the perfect temperature water and enjoyed the gorgeous late summer day. afterwards, we played ladderball, sat around the campfire, ate weenies and s'mores, and chewed the fat. it was a lovely summer day....
tomorrow, i return to work bright and early (8am). it's a holiday, so i expect that we'll be slammed with business...*sigh* hopefully everyone will stay home, grill weenies, and drink beer in anticipation of the first football game of our season tomorrow night. i'm stoked about it. unfortunately, it starts at 8pm - and i'm scheduled to get off at 8pm. we all know what that means on a holiday night. i'll probably be leaving work around 9 or 1opm... **sniff** breaks my heart even more than the fact that i'll be working christmas day this year.
