Hello, 3-Day Weekend!

It's not even the first full day of the three-day holiday weekend and I'm already beat from all of the activity!

I actually started the day getting physically beat. On purpose. Had to see the chiropractor since I missed my appointment last week due to the funeral in Michigan. He wrenched my neck into place and my spine, too. Ahhh. I love back-crackin' Fridays!

Had a short work day today. We had to get a magazine out the door that normally would go out Monday, but since we aren't working that day, they moved up the deadline. That was fine. We got it out by noon and we were released from the asylum at 1 p.m.

Hello, 3-day weekend!

Got home early enough to get a few things put away, but did not delve into my Saturday chores from last week. Those might fall on a Saturday this time. Never mind they are a week late.

We went into town to drop off a birthday present for a friend and then headed south to Port Edwards for the regional baseball game. After last night's domination over Port, everyone was pretty upbeat. Two hours later... not so much.

I don't know if they were just pretending to be the Bad News Bears or what last night, but the team that played today beat us soundly, 5-1. So our season is officially over and they move on in the playoffs. Bummer.

Since we got done early enough, Carter and I went to the girls soccer game that started at 7 p.m. Last year, our team finished second in the state. This season is shaping up to be just as good. They've had some pretty high-scoring, one-sided victories this year so I was excited to finally have an evening free where I could see them in person. Tonight's game, however, was a defensive battle. They stopped a lot of our goal attempts but we rarely allowed their offense past the center line. We ended up winning 1-0. Not so high scoring but fun to watch.

That game is way too physical for me! Between getting hit by the ball -- very hard -- and other players... wow. And ouch!

I do hope I can see them play again when the playoffs start. I will prioritize that behind softball, though. The girls won the regional championship last night so my "daughter" Brit and her teammates are moving onto sectionals next week. Since baseball is done, I might as well keep my bleacher butt status.

When we got home from all the running around, the neighbors were having a campfire. So the 3 of us hung around there awhile and had a nice time.

A fire with friends... now it feels like a long weekend should.

Bring it!
