In about 5 seconds you're going to read something you probably didn't necessarily need to know about me, and that is that I'm in the shower at least twice a day. I have to shower when I get up for that crisp ready-to-go feeling. Then at night when my long day is over and I'm settling in for relaxing "me" time I need that warm, clean, comforting feeling. Now, throw in mowing or landscaping mid-day and then we're tackling shower #3. So! The thought of me going to the beach, sitting by a smoky fire, dirt floor, gooey marshmellows, wind, salt water air, dirt, more dirt, spiders (hives are beginning to develope now) ... well, you get the idea. At least I have a shower but will be slowly breaking my mold and easing into the thought of being dirty and looking at my filthy children for an extended amount of time. We'll see if we can do it without me scratching my own eyeballs out. Remember family: I love you, but please bear with me. (insert image of Bill Murray in "What About Bob?" saying in his meek voice ".... baby step get on the bus ... baby step sit in the seat")
The glimpse into the life of a momma, wife, friend, sister, daughter, nurse, chef, maid, photographer, vet, and a few other things people may call me ...

You make me laugh... You are going to do just fine. Remember I will be here to help you thru it... I will have to laugh at least once... hehehehe Love you!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget your wet ones! ;o). So, wish I was going along on this one! hee hee
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA, I'm laughing my pants off. Only because I can remember when you lived closer and in RN school and we had to take the alcohol swabs from you. I can imagine this will be a riot. You will have fun and if you question yourself just keep repeating "I love this, I love this" to yourself. I'll be in relaxing in Florida at the beach house.

Great picture by the way! I looked at your other website and I love the baby cows. Looks so peaceful out there.

Yes, yes, it's true. We nurses do all have some sort of OCD tendencies.
ReplyDeleteHappy camping! And happy showering too. I personally love camping for 3 days and having no shower. It's the only time it is socially acceptable to be dirty and smelly. I take full advantage of it!!!! So again, I say Happy showering.
