We're back!

Pictures: not so good (my eyes hurt, the sun's too bright, the sand is itchy, the wind is blowing my hair....)

Leaving grandparents: not so good

Traveling on a plane next to a lady who kept the window shade down the whole time: not so good (lady when it feels like the plane is dropping out of the sky or is on a roller coaster I want to see out the window to see if the ground is indeed rushing up at me!)

Leaving vacation and coming back to the real world including work: not so good (missing luggage, slack workers at the airport, hauling butt to get the dogs, hauling butt back home, hauling butt to work, working until 1:00am)

Being able to sleep in my own bed, with my dogs at the end of the bed, having Andy home for another day, being able to go down to the dock in the morning: soooo good!

Time to go home

We've had so much fun on our family beach trip! It hasn't been a long trip, just a long weekend really, but still fun.

We've visited with my grandparents, played on the beach, played in the ocean, played in the pool, shopped, ate out. The only thing we haven't done is taken the obligatory family beach pictures and those are scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Let's hope the weather is good and the girls are willing. Otherwise....oh well next time!

Yes, I say that but you all know that inside I'm saying "please, please, please turn out well". ;-)

To Sleep or Not to Sleep...

That is the question. So it's 3:30am now. We leave in 4 hours to head to the airport. Which means we need to be up by 6:45. So 3 hours...what's the point?

Will I be more sleepy if I try to sleep now?

Will I be better off staying awake and toughing it out until the plane ride?

It's only a 2 hour flight though. I have to finish packing. I guess I'll decide when I'm done doing that. Whether tis nobler to be tired tomorrow and a grouch or super giddy to start the trip....

Bet Shakespeare never considered this conundrum!!

I may have a problem

I've been working my To Do list today. It's a long list and every time I make a phone call or get one thing done that leads to a couple more things being added to the list. I was getting a little frustrated.
So I added a few things......

that I had already done....

and really weren't list worthy....

just so I could cross them off.....

2 days

Until we leave for Marco Island. Thank goodness! I am so ready for a break! Some relaxation and rest. Too bad I have so many things to do to get ready to go! My list is a mile long. It would probably help if I got off the computer and got started.....I wonder how FB is doing today!! ;-)

12 years!!

After 12 years....

1 knee surgery....

and 2 kids....

I got up on water skis today!!!

*Woot Woot*

Okay, so I'm in pain now but that is not the point. The point is I got up and that, my friends, is all that matters. Well, that and some Tylenol....and Motrin.

A little hospital humor for you

Remember when I told you that my Mozzie's doctor was named Dr. Horney? Well, I also told my friend Jamie, who I work with at Nurseline, and she decided that she would have to take it one step further. See there are 2 other docs that work at our hospital. One is Dr. Butts and one is Dr. Peters. Do you see where this is going? Alright, just in case you don't let me spell it out for you. We then decided it would be great if they were all in a group together. Then the receptionist answering the phone would have to go:

Horney, Butts and Peters can I help you?

Still makes me laugh; especially when my Mom will answer the phone with that. Yeah, we're sad....but oh so funny. Don't deny it, you know you giggled too!! ;-)
