This is all I've got. And yes, it is a lovely view from our front porch. And yes, I am at Pawley's Island for four days. But I am s-p-e-n-t spent. I am done. I need a cosmo cocktail drip.
Why do you say that, Miss "It's a Golden Day" Bevy? You tend to be so positive and glass half-full even in hard times.
Because I have reached my limit. Read on...
- My children, who are very well-behaved around others, have shown they are also possessed little buttheads. (Now remember, I have REACHED MY LIMIT as I am writing this post!!!)
- Sumter has a friend down here and Jackson doesn't.
- Because of previous reason, Jackson is spending every moment of his waking moments bothering his older brother and friend.
- Because of previous reason, Sumter is yelling and whining at younger brother and ME (yes, I don't handle THAT very well at all).
- One fist fight ensues at 10:00 pm. over a portable DVD player.
- DVD player is confiscated until we get back home, as well as Sumter's pre-paid only cell phone. (post about that later)
- The floor is being repaired in the kitchen and they found rotten wood underneath. The entire contents of the kitchen are on the dining table in the sunroom.
- The refridgerator is in the hall, the dishwasher and stove are on the front porch and will be until Wednesday afternoon.
- We can not cook ANYTHING.
- On the beach, Sumter is being an obnoxious 11-yr-old, not listening and showing off his skim boarding tricks.
- Jackson tells me I am a bad mom for not letting him wear $50.00 Brooks Brothers emboidered lobster seersucker shorts to go crabbing in.
- I spend one hour in a surf shop while Sumter and friend pick out shell bracelets for their girlfriends. OMW... they are only 11!
- Jackson is whining to his G-dad over the PFD (life preserver) he has to have for the planned boat ride today.
- G-dad yells he HAS HAD IT!
- After packing for planned boat ride in the river, G-dad's old Explorer will not start after boat has been packed for planned boat ride.
- More whining.
- Not one vegetable has been eaten by any child.
- My poor parents are having to deal with this.
- I miss my husband.
- I am NOT inspired today.
