People in my office keep saying "Today is my Friday!" ... it is not mine. I'm saving up time off for leave, etc. BUT, it's got me wondering what everyone is up to for the 4th this year? Or if anyone is celebrating Canada Day tomorrow?
We are doing our BabyQ on Sunday, and on Monday heading up to my parents' who live on a lake in a touristy Summer town that does a lot for the 4th - boat parade, street parade, FROG JUMPING CONTEST (can't believe this still exists), strawberry shortcakes, etc. My sister, her husband and 4 year old twins are going this year too (they alternate between families), so it should be a fun day full of sunshine and swimming!!
Re: 4th of July Plans?
We are also busy. My in-laws are having a party on Sunday. I'm a little nervous because my parents are going and I'm terrified my FIL is going to talk politics the whole time. I know my mom won't be able to keep her mouth shut and not call him out on his tin foil hat variety BS. Hoping all goes smooth there.
On the 4th, my parents are having a party and we are doing our own fireworks for about the 15th year in a row. We went balls to the walls with fireworks this year. I'm pumped for it, the fourth is my favorite holiday!
also, food.

So I guess I'm saying I don't have very exciting plans other than trying to convince my kid fireworks are pretty and cool and we get to watch daddy play soccer!
I guess for for the weekend leading up I'll try to have a few friends over to grill and swim but to be honest I totally forgot this weekend was the holiday weekend. I'm out of it these days. I thought I had more days in June left

Can't say I'm thrilled (but we couldn't really do much with the nursery anyway due to issues we're having with the people painting our house), but it feels like a first world problem to complain.
I'm just not in the mood to celebrate a holiday I don't like by going to a party (I'm not a party person) and having to put on a happy face and socialize (I have social anxiety). And sit up (I have a baby firmly wedged in my ribs that makes anything other than reclining very uncomfortable) for several hours.
I feel like such a downer. I think I'm the only person in the US who doesn't love the 4th of July.

She has an appointment this month so I can talk to her doctor about her hearing and what we can do to eliminate the anxiety. She has mentioned some sort of therapy before, but unless this therapist is coming to the game and can see for theirselves how she reacts I'm not sure how that can help. It just breaks my heart because she loves watching her dad play but once the first firework goes off she is traumatized and won't stop crying.

I was thinking the same thing. My poor cats. They have a vet appointment at 4 today because I want them up to date on shots before the baby gets here. They HATE loud noises. Today is going to be a horrible day for them For the first time in decades, my town is hosting fireworks tonight down the block from us. That being said, I do like NJ's fireworks ban. While many people just bring them in from PA, it is much quieter than other states I have lived in.
I am going to a bachelorette party tomorrow. It is exciting to see my friends. However, sobriety sounds less fun.
