Last weekend was my first ever family vacation. My roommate got a three day weekend so off we went to Myrtle Beach,SC.
We Had a blast, we went to 4 Ripley's (Belive it or not) attractions. My boys got to pet Stingrays at the aquarium. We saw the Atlantic Ocean for first time. Dinner was at Midieval Times, not as good as real jousts but still alot of fun. My roomie found this place called MagiQuest where you buy a wand and go on Quests and Adventures. The building is made up to look like a magical kingdom, kind of kiddy but still loads of fun. I was falling asleep by the time we got home.
I'm glad I have a bestfriend that is so good to me and my boys, We never would have been able to have our weekend without him. It was great to see my kids so happy. I'll post some pics. soon.
I'm a pet person but this is a bit much. I've had ear infections for over two weeks and now I have a killer cold. My cats all seem to know when someone in our house is sick and all of them will flock to that person. I was sitting on my couch just a little bit ago and all my cats tryed to get on my lap. My oldest, Midnight, won she is sitting here purring up a storm. It seems funny but in a way it makes me feel alot better.
I got the series "Kindred The Embraced" on DVD for my birthday. We just finished watching it so I'm a very happy camper. (I just wish they could have done more)
Today I got up early with my roommate. After he left for work I got sort of lonesome so I poked my head in to my oldest sons room. My boy was gone, but I knew just where he would be so I went to the younger sons room and there they both were. The oldest was on a pile of bedding on the floor. I stood at the door for awhile watching them sleep then came to my computer to write this.
My sons are 14 and 11 right now and while watching them I thought of all the stuff in my life that we have been through together. I was almost dead when I got pregnant with the oldest, he saved me just by being. Then I married an ASS who was great at first but ended up beating both of us. My youngest came along and I almost lost him to spinal meningitis. As soon as I could I left my ass of a husband, single mom once more.
I worked 60 hours or more a week to just make ends meet, till I got so worn down I had to leave work. In stepped my best guy friend and married me just so the boys and I would be taken care of (may sound wrong but I would have been lost without him).
Now years latter I sit and think how far we have all come. I have two happy healthy boys a great stepdaughter (that I don’t get to see enough but love dearly), my roommate who loves us all without question, my pets, my friends and family, and time to write this all down.
My oldest just woke up and got me a drink and some tissue (I was crying). He asked if I was Ok and I told him I must be the happiest person in the world. If you have kids you’ll understand just how much days like today mean.
Hannibal is my roommates parents Rottweiler, I feel in love with this 115 lb brat when we stayed with them for awhile looking for a place here. This is one of the many ways he made me laugh.
One night after dinner we were all sitting around watching TV, when the dog started going nuts. It took awhile for us to see the fly he was chasing around the livingroom. After about 10 mins he got his fly, he then spit it out, and was smelling it. Everyone was watching him at this point. He smelled his kill, then much to our amusement he droped on it and rolled all around. A fly he was senting himself with a fly. Everyone was dieing laughing, he just looked up at us with his head to the side as if to say isn't that what you do after a kill.
