Kid Vacation
July 6, 2010
Sorry. I should have mentioned it earlier. I’m on kid vacation. Which basically means I’m on vacation from everything. Except my house. Which is slowly drowning me in paint.
Since our DC/NYC trip, I’ve been home 3 weeks now, without kids. It’s been so quiet. So peaceful. SO CLEAN.
I have only 2 weeks left of this reality, and then kiddos return and it’s back to the chaotic routine. Which, strangely, is actually less chaotic than the past 3 weeks have been. The point is, in 2 weeks, plus one more week of Mom being in town, I’ll be back to some version of normal and blogging will happen again.
In fact, MORE blogging than ever before will happen, as I’ll be launching a whole new, unrelated, spiffy blog any day now. You know, when I get the guts to actually launch. For a sneaky preview, feel free to go stalk me there and weigh in with thoughts on the project: http://www.challenge52.com.
I’m gonna be honest, the past 3 weeks have brought more surprises than expected, and it’s thrown "the plan" off center just a bit. So, I hesitate to make too many big promises. But, I will return to the telling of this story, because it’s important. And, I will launch C52. And, I will do another big thing that I can’t tell you about. And, I will get back to some sort of fitness habit (being as I’ve fallen completely off the wagon since I left town a month ago, bah!).
But, for now, here’s a quick recap of the past month-ish:
Medical drama. Again. No answers yet, but lots of super fun testing and poking and prodding and missing of work. Our friendly radiological co. seriously better send me a Christmas card this year. Just sayin’.
House drama. I always think I’m super capable of house stuff. And, then I do it. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it slowly kills the electricity in the house, one room at a time. Enter the electrician. Oh, wait. That assumes he actually shows up as scheduled. Ha! More missing of work. Boo.
Family drama. Dudes. Don’t. Even. You’d think sending the kids off for awhile would lessen my familial drama load. You’d be wrong. So, so wrong.
VACATION! It certainly wasn’t relaxing and the food poisoning right out of the gate seriously sucked the big one. But, we saw as much as 4 humans could possibly see in the time we were there. I got to see tons of friends, dating back 10+ years, and for me, that was absolutely the best part. The kids were exceptionally disappointed that they spotted not a single huge rat in the city. But, overall, I think their first real vacation ever was a success. Go me!
I’d tell you all about the crazy good times I’m having, but mostly, I’m painting and installing doorknobs and switching out outlets and obsessive compulsively checking on my garden. This is what I’ve become. Boring. Old. Lame.
Hey, but I’m getting more sleep than usual. So that’s something.
And, I think I might win an award for most pointless blog entry ever with this one, so there’s something else.
