What I did on summer vacation ...part uno

So since I'm a haus frau and there are six of us to prepare/pack/pay for on vacation, we took advantage of our time share at mass-a-nuthin in the beautiful hills of Virginia. In other words, it was free.

We swam a lot, played cranium, ate all sorts of unhealthy junk food, went to a water park, fed mildly wild animals, skated, made clay beads and hemp jewelery, fought like families do when crammed together in one place for a week, read, shopped, rode go carts, took a ski lift ride and lots and lots of pictures. That was our funfilled week in a nutshell.

I really feel like we do so many interesting things these days that it's hard to put down our one week as a vacation. For example, Saturday was supper club at Wendy's house, Monday Jake went to see AFI with Becky, tonight we're going to see Spamalot with Tree and some other friends. Then we're going Thursday to watch Maddy be in the finals for this karaoke contest, Friday we're having some friends over to play games, Saturday we're going to Mean-Mommy-Play-Group over at Terri's. After that we're heading out to the river for 3 days. Life is a vacation. Did I mention that yesterday I got to cut Peggy's hair and drink wine in the middle of the day? We had a supah time talking about collecting big words and the good fortune we share in our final choices of mates. I'm not even bragging, just so you know. I'm still continually surprised at how good life is. I still stare at Dan and wonder how I landed that hottie and how come he stuck around (aside from my obvious knockedupness at the time) but you get the picture, right? It's frightening to feel like you're this fortunate and for what reason? and for how long? (see? I can bring anything back to a negative light when given enough time).

Summer vacation part one just rocked...let's see what we can do in the hottest month.

Conversation

Dan: (yelling into the bedroom from his shower) Baby? Do we have an international space station?

Me: (thinking he's obviously taken some hits of crack rock) If we do, it's in the basement.

Dan: Tess, your MAMA is crazy!

(I'm crazy???)
