Everything Good Must Come to an End...

Well my long awaited vacation is winding down to an end.

I enjoyed my time away from the bump and grind of the office.  Put the metallic glaze on the painted walls of the dining room, but am not as pleased with it as I thought I would be.  Decided to step away from it and let it sit for a bit to see if it grows on me... but still, not as pleased as I had hoped to be.

Thinking of putting another layer of metallic glaze on the walls but NOT do any 'techniques' to manipulate it, just let it be as it is when painted on.  


Visited with in-laws and went out for a nice leisurely lunch to catch up.  Next year we may even plan a trip to Annapolis (I have never been and have always wanted to go) together.


Had the chance to head down to the shore for a couple of days to spend time with my brother and his family.  My daughters and my Scrump-Dylly-icious were there too.


Heck, I even got a load on one night having hubby make me two doubles of the Captain and Diet Coke! Yeah, you read that right, two drinks = load on for me!

We had a blast playing a game called Apples to Apples.  The greatest thing about this game is that everyone from my 6 year old Godson to my 80 year old mother could play and have fun laughing at the different outcomes.  Heck they even make a 'Junior Jewish version' that I am sure my Jewish friend's family would find funny... I may not get that version being goy but if this version is as much fun as our everyday version... you'll have a fun evening.


As I wind down my vacation these last two days, hubby and I will head to the rehab that my son admitted himself to for a two hour class that must be attended before any visiting rights are extended.  Geesh, I have been through so many of these 'two hour sessions' over the past decade... I suppose I can do one more.


Please keep us in your prayers.  Heroin is such a hard drug to overcome and he's struggled for years with this addiction.  Heroin kills more than the addicts... it kills the people who love the addict... it kills happiness and a 'normal' life... it alters everything.  BUT... there is some success with battling it, very small amount of addicts ever overcome the addiction (3%).  BUT... this time, he knew he needed to go to rehab immediately because he knew he'd use again if he didn't and... he said he cannot continue to live his life this way.



Tomorrow we may be eligible for visitation so we may go and see him to see how he's doing.  

Then Monday, it's back to work.  Ahhh life, ain't it grand?

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N is here!

I am glad that this week finally arrived!
I needed this vacation badly.
So happy to ignore the clock and for the next
seven days do what I want, when I want.

Little Stay-cation and Va-cation combo...
Heading down to the shore for some
Fun in the sun mid-week!

Oh, I need this week away from work...
