4th of July
Share
When 4th of July arrives a few things spring to mind: crap, it's really the summer! Did I make any vacation reservations? Oh, it's too late. Hmm, what can I scramble together? Didn't get in bikini shape …again.
The next thing I think about is the day before, July 3rd. Which I reminded Mark this morning is our 5th anniversary. We had both forgotten. Then we get the "Wow, we should do something." Sigh, more planning.
That's a gig for more prosperous times, "The anniversary fairy", so neither partner has to plan. The Anniversary Fairy takes care of it for you. You know to keep the date clear and then the day of she gives you your itenarary. Dinner at such and such, hotel room, flowers. Has photos of you in your wedding dress framed and waiting in the room. Is anyone writing this down? (Oh, I am! I think it's a great idea!)
I digress.. I was about to complain about a holiday I would love to love more.. 4th of July. Happy Birthday America.
I'm terrible at planning ahead for important dates, fairies would be a fine service. We're lucky to have some extended family/friends with young adult children who always take the lead on the fireworks.
It's going to be a great holiday for us. Hope your anniversary weekend is better than you'd expect!
It's a pain in the a** in small town America as well I assure you. Embrace the backyard sparklers - they're cool and the kids don't know the difference.
I was depressed over the weekend…I was supposed to be Florida bound…then I get a 10 minute call from Afghanistan that makes me rearrange my plans b/c now R&R is rearranged, too. …Glad to be having my husband home for 2 weeks sooner rather than later…but OMG, if he had waited 2 days to call, I would have been 700 miles from Tampa already!!
I thought about going to see fireworks, but also thought there would be some on post… but there aren't any fireworks on post…cuz of all the PTSD. Oooohhkay. So I took my kids to the very deserted park…came home, went to bed, then got up & took my oldest to the ER. Pretty sucky weekend overall.
oh, that doesn't sound fun. yes, the pursuit of the fireworks! Glad you will see your husband soon. Tough time!!
Ok, wow. You need to come to Arcadia for the 4th. I know this is an old post, and the next 4th is not for seven months… but- you are all invited.
