I am back from vacation and trying to climb back up on top of the ball at work. It is not an easy task considering that no one did any of my work while I was away. Lots to do to catch up. At home it’s the same thing, I’m trying to get the laundry done and the trailer unpacked. Tonight I need to stop at the grocery store and re-stock the cupboards.
I was happily surprised to come home to a clean house and a mowed lawn. My son kept the place in good condition. However he didn’t find a job. So now I am on his case to find work and SOON. My husband and I pay his car insurance so we decided that from now until he gets a job he can only use the car from 6am to 6pm to look for work. The car must be parked in the driveway by 6pm for the night. He is not at all happy about this. We are about to see just how painful things have to be for him before he does what he is supposed to. He told us last night that he is moving out very soon. My niece lives in the city with her 5 year old son. She doesn’t like living alone and she could use the help with paying the rent. So all he has to do is get a job and she told him he can come there. I can’t wait. I really think that this is the only way he is going to grow up and learn to take care of himself. He has no idea how good he has it living with us, but he is about to find about.
We had a good time on vacation, it rained most of the first week but we made the most of it. My kids and grandkids were with us for that week. The second week we had lots of sun but not much heat. I walked a lot and picked gallons of blueberries along the road. Spent lots of time on the beach and in the water and in the evenings we played cards or sat by a fire. It was a good camping vacation. The picture is my two daughters and my granddaughter at Storyland in Conway, NH on a very rainy day.
The biggest excitement of the trip besides LOTS of rain was the pumpkin crash. Yes, you read that right. There is a giant pumpkin that you ride in up a hill to Cinderella’s castle. For some unknown reason the driver of the pumpkin drove right off the road into a ditch and the trees. We were asked to get out of the pumpkin and walk the rest of the way up to the castle where we would be interviewed about the crash. At this point we are all getting pretty silly and my two daughters were taking pictures of the pumpkin in the trees. The Storyland staff didn’t like the fact that they were taking pictures and they moved us quickly up
the hill. I will post a few pictures once I get them from one of the kids. I thought for sure they would offer us a free ticket to come back another day or at least a few food coupons but they just wanted our names for insurance purposes and were in a big hurry to get rid of us.

I am glad to be back home and I am getting back into the swing of things at work. I thought for sure I would have gained weight on vacation because I didn’t make good choices a lot of the time. However, I think all the walking I did paid off. I actually lost weight on vacation. I am down to 246 lbs. that’s 71 lbs. since April 15th. My next goal is to start working with some weights and doing some toning. It’s time for that.
