Vacation Pics

I have been MIA now for some time-I do apologize. I have never been been very good at being good at many things. I am better at being good at few things-does that make sense. So my journal has taken a backseat to other things like outside work and vacations and such.

Which brings me to the majority of my entry tonight. Our vacation to Myrtle Beach! It was good! I don't know if we will go back to that particular hotel but maybe to North Myrtle Beach. It was still nice to get away and be together as a family. We did many things; Broadway at the Beach, Margaritaville (ofcourse), Nascar, Planet Hollywood, the beach, the pools...very busy. And that was where we went wrong, I am more into the quiet vacation type but we didn't KNOW Myrtle Beach was like that and once the kids saw all the stuff we were doomed! Oh well, they had fun and so did we don't get me wrong, but I could have stayed on the beach everyday! The weather was awesome-I can't wait for summer here! Soon, soon!
So here are some pictures!







































This past week I have been dog sitting for Jack's old kindergarten teacher and my now friend. Her dog's name is Beau and she is a 4 year old chocolate lab. SHE has wormed her way into my heart as all pets seem to these days! I have to say I have really enjoyed her company and are really wanting another dog! Am I crazy you say? Isn't a dog, cat,snake, 2 mice, 2 fish enough!? Yes it is more than enough but I have learned something about myself. I am happiest when I am "mothering". I am a mother-whether you are a human or a four legged feline or dog-I will mother you. It fills my soul. As a kid I had a few pets here and there and I was never very good at taking care of them. My Mom did most of the work (mmm sounds famliar) but now I find myself being very responsible and caring with all these pets we have aquired. I pick up dog poop and cat litter/poop and mouse poop and snake poop and I don't even complain! I think I have paid my penance for letting my rabbits cage get so gross!!! My Mom would be proud!
So here is Molly and Beau on our porch. I think Beau may have felt like she was at Fat Camp-we don't do table scraps and I walked her everyday! She definitely lost some of that "junk in the trunk"! But what a peach! She blows Molly's doors off fetching ball! Molly tends to just keep the ball and not return it! Beau is a master catcher and retreiver! I just love Labs! They are such great family dogs!

So tonight "the boys" are having a bit of a sleep over/camp out. Ben said he got invited to Brayden's to sleepover and that wasn't quite true. So John made a tent for them in the living room and they are all sleeping down there. I guess me and Molly will have the bed to ourselves! John is such a good Dad like that! I think he is feeling bad because he had to work today and tomorrow. But the boys are going with him in the morning so I can go clean the office. I am back to that again after a bit of a break. Long story but I have been very broke lately with less and less money for my weekly budget. So I shall suck it up and scrub toliets once again! Oh well-money is money!
Well, I am getting tired and my right ass cheek is hurting! I am having a bit of siactic nerve trouble this evening-it comes and goes-my walk today seemed to bother it more than usual.So good night everyone-keep checking in with me!! I'll be around here and there!
