Yes, I'm back from PIB but I'm still on vacation so that's a good thing. Our week at the Bay was amazing - minus a few snafus with the golf cart and wave runner (two flats, a battery charging issue with the cart and once again, the starter on the wave runner is on the fritz...it never ends). Jim and I had Saturday - Tuesday to ourselves which was quite lovely. We spent a lot of time at the pool and just enjoyed a little down time. The weather couldn't have been more perfect as well. Every day was sunnier than the one before and we still got a nice couple of storms at night. The water level at the Bay, however, is ridiculous. The dock is consistently under water and the roads in some areas are impassable for golf carts, at least. I got my exercise on every day and I'm hoping that I didn't pack on too many pounds. (I'll weigh myself on Friday or Saturday to see where we are...after I've been back at it for at least a few days.)
One terrible part of my week away was how much I missed my boys. I'm telling you, I miss them so much it's stupid. The good part, however, was that Diane sent me lots of photos and a video showing how content they were so it eased my heart a LOT. Knowing that they are happy and getting love and attention makes it bearable. Since coming home, they've gotten LOTS of love, hugs and attention as well as walks.
When I was on the ferry coming home, I checked my email from school and saw some terrible news that breaks my heart. One of our guidance counselor's sons was killed while biking near his home. He was going to be a sophomore at Kings this year. I can't stop thinking about her and the pain she must be going through...I can't even imagine. She and I had just been talking about him on the last day of school too. The year she was hired, she was pregnant with him...ugh...just terrible.
My plans today: Well, Jim originally didn't have a job to go to today so I decided we would walk the dogs. I took Scout on his 4 mile walk and when I got back, I saw that Jim was dressed for work...which is good and Scout and Boo are all worn out. I'll get ready here in a minute and head out for errands at Aldi, Kroger and Costco. After that, I'll just come home and lay out! Gotta keep my tan going! Dinner tonight I think will be shrimp and kielbasa kabobs, a summer salad and maybe some cauliflower rice...or corn.
And that's all I've got. Happy Monday! Write at you tomorrow.
