Happy Memorial Day

Well, it’s Memorial Day and I’m working 8 to 4 p.m. What fun. I am so excited. Okay, I’m lying through my teeth. The weather outside is not frightful, it’s freakin’ beautiful. And I’m stuck inside an air conditioned building, listening to cranky Canadian callers and wishing I could be outside with my family in the warm sunshine. Then again, it’s forecasted to be 90 degrees today, so I guess being at work with A/C isn’t so bad. Yet.

Yesterday morning, I took Murphy for a walk down the path at Little Plover River. Just before we got to the bridge, we saw a huge turtle in the middle of the paved path. The poor thing had a huge gash in it’s shell and the bugs and things were working on his poor turtle flesh. I felt very bad for him because he was still alive and trying to move into the water (to die, perhaps?) but I could tell he was probably in pain.

Later in the afternoon, we went to my parent’s house for a cookout. Dawson was so happy to see his “mumma”. I was elated. I really missed him. What a little peanut he is. He sat on my lap and hugged me for a long time. That just made my day. I gave the kids 4-wheeler rides, they seemed to enjoy it. My cousins Mikayla and Elisha had fun going through the path with me. It was a good day.

I was very tired when I got home, so I went straight to bed. I feel well rested today. I think all the fresh air and sunshine really helped.

This afternoon (after work) we’re going to a bar called Bahamas on the Wisconsin River for a Memorial Day party. It should be a good time.

I hope everyone is having a safe, happy and fun holiday!
