vacation... just what i needed! we just got back yesterday afternoon. here's the boring blow-by blow:
wednesday:
like i mentioned, i started my period. with a vengance. i had to go home from work after being there for only 3 hours because i bled all over my clothes. happy happy joy joy. we left around 6 or so for the cabin. i sat on a towel on the ride up so i wouldn't get blood in the seats. we had the truck loaded to the top. of course it rained on the way there because we don't have a cover for the bed. the rain was light enough and we were going fast enough that nothing got wet. we got there around 9:30 or 10, unpacked, and pretty much went right to bed.
thursday:
we got up late in the morning, showered and went to the next town over to get our groceries for the week. while we were there, we went into all the cute little shops. i was feeling pretty wierd. all dizzy and pukey feeling. i have never had a period so painful or heavy. yuck. i was glad when it was time to head home. i slept the entire 40 minute ride home.
friday:
i picked up in the morning and did some cooking to get ready for our guests. they started arriving around 1. i was still feeling pretty sick. i actually had to lie down for a few hours in the afternoon. i eventually felt better (i did have to cook and clean up after everyone.) and was in the swing of things after a little while. we had s'mores at the campfire and went to bed pretty early.
saturday:
very uneventful. it was rainy so indoor activities were the order of the day. i vegged while some played scrabble. we went swimming in the rain. (i can hear my grandmother, "get out of that water. it's raining, you're going to get wet!") more campfires. "female problems" pretty much over. yea!
sunday:
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!!!
i was pretty much ready for everyone to leave. they stuck around until 6. scott spent the evening at his parent's cabin. they just bought one about 30 minutes from my parent's cabin. i worked out perfectly.
monday:
we left around noon to spend the day with the in-laws. scott and jerry fished while jan and i went to a craft store. since we were already half way there, jan and i went to my parent's cabin to get our dogs. was mabel ever mad at me! they had to ride in the bed of my in-law's truck and mabel yelled at us the whole way there. karma was sick and pooped on a rug in the truck. i'm sure they were glad not to have to sit home alone the whole time though. we had fresh fish for dinner. yum!
tuesday:
my parents came up today so we had to do a little cleaning in the morning. we had more brats for dinner (if i see another brat, i'll scream!) and we all met the in-laws to see a movie. we saw Runaway Bride. it was cute.
wednesday:
we got up early to go to the mennonite stores before we had to leave. it was neat. we left for home and were there by 4. i was so glad to be home. isn't that how it usually how it is?
that was my vacation. sorry to bore you with the play-by play.
