"I feel like I haven&amp;#039;t sat down once this whole weekend! The kids and I have been in such a whirlwind of activity, I think going back to school and work tomorrow is going to be a real adjustment. I have to tell you, I was worried again coming into this weekend. Just like last year, we are beyond broke this weekend. Due to the way the holiday fell, we are on fumes in the bank account (I&amp;#039;m paid on the last day of the month, which is Tuesday) and unlike last year, we don&amp;#039;t have pre-paid reservations at a campground to look forward to. I was determined to make the best of it, so away we went! First, the pool went up \u2013 sixteen feet across and three feet deep and all the fun they needed. Then we pitched the tent in the backyard, and at night we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows over the firepit on the deck. The neighbors had a big cookout yesterday that we contributed to, our house has been kid-central for the neighborhood kids all weekend, and the laughter and shouts have been echoing through the house and yard for three days. I actually feel kind of bad \u2013 we&amp;#039;ve been having so much fun, I honestly forget to have them call Peter on Saturday night to say goodnight. And that was because I don&amp;#039;t think I thought about Peter all day that day. On top of that, the pool sprang a leak and I fixed it all on my own. I also baked 24 cupcakes, a dozen brownies, 4 dozen cookies and made three appetizers for the cookout. I rock. I am exhausted. It&amp;#039;s good, though. Really good. Hope you&amp;#039;re all having a great holiday as well! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
