On Vacation

I'm on vacation at the beach, so this is a rare opportunity to write - I snuck onto my husband's computer. I only have a minute.

My son turned 11 years old today. It's a good thing I have to be nice to him today. Otherwise I would be strangling him because of all his bordum complaints. Next summer it's sleep away camp. Period.

My 5 yr. old learned how to swim in the ocean yesturday. We were all very excited until I got bit by a Jelly Fish. That put a bit of a damper on the moment.

As far as the sleepover goes, it was a riot (in all meanings of the word). The boys stayed up until 3:00am wrestling, pillow fighting and playing truth or dare, and them set the alarm clock for 6:00 am. Go figure. The next day my sone slept from 4:00pm untill the next day.

The only casuality of the sleepover was Jerry, one of our pet Zebra Finches. Somehow Jerry (named after the mouse from from the cartoon Tom and Jerry) ended up with an injured wing. The bad news is that our bird was hurt, the good news is that it wasn't a kid. She must have gotten hit by a sofa cushion or pillow being flug across the room by a rouge child.

Well, that's about it for now. Gotta run. Cheers.
