TGIF + Vacation-bound!

Hey hey! Today is my last day of work for a week and I am THRILLED. We head to my parents' lake home on Monday morning for our annual week at the lake... after I am on the Monday morning sales call - for the 2nd year in a row, I need to present the week of our annual lake trip! But so it goes. Besides a few shouldless days here and there, I haven't had a solid break from work since our April spring break trip to Destin so I am really overdue for some time away! I'll be taking a break from blogging/commenting next week so I can soak up time at my happy place. Here's how the week shaped up!

A book I am reading this week is ‘The Wedding People' by Alison Espach which is SO GOOD. I loved her last novel, too (Notes on Your Sudden Appearance). The topic is very heavy: a woman travels to a beautiful hotel in Newport, RI with the intent to kill herself and finds that every guest except herself is there for a wedding. And yet the book somehow the books doesn't have a "heavy book" vibe to it. 

The high of my week was *crickets* No highs come to mind. This was a bit of a ho hum week for me. It wasn't bad but it was just a little meh overall?

The low of my week was a tough parenting night on Wednesday night. Usually the boys can kind of "read the room" and not both melt down at the same time but that was not the case that night. I don't know what set this behavior off but it's probably a fools errand to try to apply logic to tantrums/emotional outbursts.

For workouts I ran 3 miles on Tuesday morning, I'll run 3 this morning, and then tomorrow I'll do another 8 mile training run. My workouts are very running-heavy these days. That will shift when this 10 mile race is behind me. Ideally I'd like to run twice/week and strength train twice/week.

A show we watched was the final episodes of season 2/first episode of season 3 of Welcome to Wrexham. I really really really miss the Olympics but at least we have the winter games to look forward to in 1.5 years (although I do not like the winter games nearly as much as the summer games...). 

The best money spent was on new glasses for Paul. It's not the most fun money to spend but it was essential. His vision prescription doubled from -1.25 to -2.50 since he last exam! It seems like he's on the path to have my vision (my rx is -4.25). Good thing he looks so cute in glasses!

We went with these frames, but in navy blue. I'm pretty sure he's wearing a shirt that we got as a hand-me-down from Kae!

My plans this weekend include laying low tonight, as usual. Tomorrow we will probably hit up a pool since it's supposed to be warm. Sunday is Phil's birthday! My gift to him was arranging some rounds of golf which I must say was HARD. I can see why he rarely golfs. Getting people pinned down for a round of golf was not easy. But I managed to plan 2 rounds of golf for him. I also plan to take Paul to get school supplies at Target. We did this last year and he wasn't as excited about buying school supplies as I was but it's a tradition I want to stick with as I have such great memories of school shopping with my mom. 

How was your week?
