Fabulous Fit Friday: Sum Sum Summertime!

Today is the last day of school for many kiddos. It is the last day of preschool 1 for mine! He moves into the next level up Preschool 2 room on Monday and we are of course oh so proud that he is transitioning rooms so quickly.

This week has been a challenge both mentally and physically. I rarely blog about work but it has really taken it's toll on me this week. There has been more drama in the workplace than I care for and I cannot even tell you how grateful I am that it is Friday. I will NEVER understand how some people can be so inept at handling conflict resolution. I know not everyone is like me and can move on quickly from issues, but acting like a petulant child is never the professional thing to do. I have been trying to act like I don't care abd blow it off, but deep down this person is causing me loads of anxiety. I keep hoping this person will just move on, but it isn't looking that way. I just don't get it. Grow up and act professional. We aren't in high school anymore. Being called out on your mistakes is part of being in a professional job. How you handle them are what makes you a professional.

Physically, while there was no way on God's green earth I was going to be able to workout twice a day, I have worked out every day. I think my body is finally feeling the wrath of it too. I'm quite sore today and physically just feeling exhausted and burnt out. The mental stress isn't helping this situation either. I'm just feeling down and defeated after this long week.

On the other hand, I'm feeling GREAT because SUMMER IS HERE. I love that I can go running at night after the kiddo goes to bed without feeling that I'm going to get run over or attacked because it is too dark out. I love driving with all the windows open and my hair blowing everywhere. I love being able to sit outside on my lounge chair while the kiddo entertains himself in his pool, sprinkler, swingset (etc.) I realized the other day for the first time in, oh, YEARS that I had no qualms about putting a pair of short shorts on. I am getting much more comfortable with having less of me covered up. It's a huge victory! 

Dinos at the Zoo?? Cool! 

This weekend is going to be a fun one. We are going to the special Dinos and Donuts day at the MN Zoo to see the dinosaur exhibit before the Zoo opens for the day. It's hella early in the morning (we want to be there by 7:30a) but there will be a small amount of people compared to seeing the exhibit with the general public. I can't wait to share our adventure! We will also be going to my 10 year old nephew's final baseball game of the year on Saturday afternoon followed by some dinner at the Galaxy Drive In where I really have no idea what I will eat to stay on plan. A Diet Coke? Ugh. What to do??

My Handsome Nephew

Sunday will be all about enjoying the summer heat and letting the kiddo relax and play in the pool while mommy works on her tan.

I received some pretty rockin' news today and my adrenaline is still coursing through my body over it. I can't share yet, but I promise I will soon!

In the words of Rihanna...
Cheers to the freaking weekend
I drink to that.
Oh let the Jameson sink in
I drink to that.
Don't let the bastards get you down
Turn it around with another round.

Have a great weekend!
