We're Back!!






So Saturday @ 5:30am we pulled in our driveway... after a 9 hr drive. It was nice to be home!
We shared a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home with my in laws. ( My mother in law/ 2 sister in laws/ Nephew Billy ( who is 3 months younger than me) & niece Gemma)
Now the vacation started out a little rough with a few issues with the house..... door knob fell off bathroom door/ none of the out side lights worked and one tub took for ever to drain and the other would not hold the water( we tried everything) it took 3 1/2 days for some one to come fix this all. Then I get home to a message that said we left a stain on the rug.... Bull Pucky! that spot was there when we got there. and the would be talking to us about payment. Needless to say I can be a B***h... when needed. I called & of course got through to no one ..... So I left a message telling them about the issues we had that they were aware of during our stay & also about how the stain was there. And that if anyone deserved money it was us. We had to leave my mother in law behind the 1st day we were there for no one to show up..... But no call back so ... to be continued.

Other than that the house was great. In laws were not to bad. We had fun playing scattagories, cards or serades every night. I have some stories about the serades but its a little late and I am a little tired but tomorrow I will write about it... FUN TIMES!

Jacob was all about his dad on the trip. I felt like the in laws thought I beat Jacob ( never would)or something since all he wanted was his dad. But Michael works long hours so I think really he just wanted his daddy. I was a little broken hearted but at the same time happy cause now Michael got to see why sometimes its hard for me after 40 hours of work and all to get every little thing done or why I am frazzled when he gets home...... Men! If they only knew how hard it can be......

Our niece Gemma came with us. I was SO happy she decided to come. She is fighting her 2nd battle with ovarian cancer and unfortunately treatment is not working as well as they hoped. We are looking into other care and she should be starting a new experimental treatment soon. So please keep her in your prayers. Our fundraiser that I have been working on is Sunday & i hope we raise alot of money for her. She has been through alot. And being & seeing her on vacation really opened my eyes. She is having a rough time getting around and eating and sleeps alot.
It was nice on vacation to just talk to her... learn about her boyfriend, her doggy, & just her likes & dislikes. She is a very sweet girl.

I also got to know my nephew on Michael's side Billie.....
I love him... what a hoot & a half... Funny!
I am not a big drinker but we made some mixers.... Pina colodas, Mud slides, and others.
We were liquoring up the old ladies!! They were funny to.
I had a few drinks. My yearly max is normally 1 drink per year .. I have exceeded that for this year... but nothing to out there.... 2 mudslides & a pina colada & another mudslide.... ( not all on the same night)
Him & I went to the beach & pool a few times our selves. We had a blast!


But anyway I better go...
here's some pic's
