Okay, I admit that I have been slacking on the blogging thing. However, it may comfort you to know that I am also slacking in every other area of my life except for school and work! I've had finals the last few weeks (I had to get them in early because we left for vacation the week of finals). And it was about time too. All my co-workers knew that I was at my wit's end when they asked how I was doing and I replied "I don't care... just hand me the prozac and vodka." They laughed but knew that I really needed a break. So, here I am enjoying sleep and de-stressing and spending time with family by the sea. My body usually sends me very clear messages when I need a break, my hair starts falling out (no joke, like in large chunks), I get great big dark circles under my eyes and my stomach ties itself in knots. But, just being here a day has made a difference. It must be the ocean air.
I always seem to forget how much I love the ocean. I hate swimming in it but I love being on the beach and watching the waves. It's a very nice place we've rented, enough room and games for everyone. I will be sure to post pictures as soon as we're home. I hope everyone at home is doing well.
The only regret I'm having about being here is that our baby (Hades, the dog) is at home. I miss him and worry about him constantly and keep thinking "oh, he would love this!" Oh well, someday we'll take him to the beach.
