Some relaxation please?

As I have previously noted, I've been busting my butt at work for several months now with not really any decent time off. Maybe a day here or there, and several days for Justin's accidents or sickness or appointments. But no real time off.

I was going to take time last month, but then we found out that auditors would be here. So, I postpone it and have scheduled this Thurs & Fri off b/c the auditors were only supposed to be here for 4 weeks. Well, now they're not leaving until 10-31. so now I don't know whether to take time off this week or not. I'm going to wait until Wednesday and see where we stand before I take off on Thursday.

But even if I do take off Thurs & Fri, I have no idea what to do. Thurs will probably be house cleaning/decorating for fall followed by a hair appt at 3. That leaves Fri, Sat, and Sun. Friday I'm torn between taking Justin to the state fair or taking him to the aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. It's an aquarium on the coast here in NC that is supposed to be awesome since they re-did it a few years ago. I think going to the aquarium would be cheaper (as money is super super tight right now), but I would love to take him to the state fair. If I take him by myself to the fair though, we wouldn't be able to do anything but just walk around. I don't know if Travis would take time off to go or not. Then, I was thinking about this weekend. I'd love to go see my friend in Norfolk as she has a new baby and I haven't seen her in forever. But with her newborn and 5 year old and my rambunctious 2 year old, we wouldn't be able to "do" a whole lot. I don't know. I just need to do something with myself besides work, housework, or stare at a tv.
