My summer vacation

On vacation I:


- Ate my weight in potato chips. for breakfast. every day.


- Waited in vain for the sun. Or at least for the rain to stop.


- It didn't.


- Ate many several sour patch kids candies. Perhaps my weight's worth, but who can tell. Those little buggers don't weigh much... and I might. especially if I keep this up.


- Looked at my list of things to be done around the house on my vacation and by around the house I of course mean OUTSIDE the house, the part being rained on.


- Watched lots of tv. Without having to share the remote or account for why I was watching 15 straight hours of ETV.


- I still sent the boys to daycamp.


- Watched. It. Rain.


- Convinced myself that if it wasn't raining, I would of course be taking long walks, exercising and otherwise creating world peace.


- Perhaps had ice cream for lunch because when on vacation while the children are at camp, I am apparently a two year old left home alone. Speaking of which, isn't it naptime...


- Cleaned my house, the inside part not being rained on. As in CLEANED, like vacuuming the drapes and moping the floor and sweeping and other once a year activities.


- Pretended I was camping because everything feels damp and yucky, just like at the end of a camping trip. Only thing missing is the pervasive smell of campfire smoke clinging to every surface.


- Looked longingly at my backyard fireplace where I was going to have a nice fire and clean up the miscellaneous brush littering my yard. Damn you rain. You're making my yard stay messy.


- Also? I expect you, Rain, to come mow this lawn because it grows about 5 inches a day what with all this watering!


- Perhaps bitched a bit about the weather

sounds like an awesome vacay ... oh, except maybe for the 2 feet of rain and everything smelling dampish (us too, here in MA...) :-)

Ice cream for lunch sounds divine!

Apparently, I'm 2 also. And not unhappy about it one bit.
