I created what i thought was a simple rule that would only run on weekdays since i set the conditions to monday-friday. Yet it ran on sunday. i'm new to HE so this is the first weekend that i've had the rule running. am i not understanding how the restrictions for days of the week work?
You need to actually use that condition in an action. It existing down where you show just means it is defined, not that it is actually being used - that is the part up top. Think of the bottom part as a "bank" of conditions that can be used in actions. But if they aren't used in an action, they sit there in the bank and do nothing.
So you would likely use that condition in a conditional action, that when true runs your other actions already listed.
Example. Notice I have a similar condition on this rule at the bottom, but also notice it is used in a conditional action on the top part, too.

It needs some getting use to, but works quite well once you are use to it!
In case you are interested, another option available to you is to set the trigger so that it will only trigger on weekdays (called “Days of week trigger”). I suspect you just have it trigger at a certain time?
This would work and you could remove the if condition:
