Okie dokie....so we are yet again on vacation!! But this time, thank the good Lord, we are stationary and not having to hop and bop from place to place. Plus, it's my parents house...you can't get much more comfortable than at your parents house, right!? I love being home. Seeing my family, having NO other responsibilities but to mind my children, it is the best of vacations!!!
There are times I feel guilty, I guess. I so often leave my husband behind, lol. But you know, though it is NOT at all the same thing, he deploys and leaves us behind, so I guess it all comes out even in the end. At least in my mind it does ;-)
We are coming up on a week here and I tell you what, I cannot believe a week has already gone by. Time sure does speed up when you are in a happy place! My parents recently moved out to the friggin' north 40 of town, but damn me, their house is beautiful! Daddy has purchased all the little, well okay, not "little", toys he has always wanted to have....quads, rangers....things that go "vroom", you get the idea. And Momma has created a haven for imagination, child or adult, lol. The boys and I have been having nothing but good old fashion fun! Racing in the ranger, flying over jumps, whopping and hollering while the wind whips our hair and dirt flies in our face . . . can anything really beat that? No. I think not!!!
We have yet to make our way out to the horseshoe pits in the corral....we'll get there, it's just so HOT standing out in the baking sun, it kind of dissuades one from doing it! It is much more inviting to hop in the pool for a game of Marco Polo or grab the keys to the ranger for a wild ride behind the house . . . but never fear, I am a mad horseshoe player and we WILL play!!! By jove, we will!
Back to vacationing from ones real life. It really is the best way to go. Staying here with my parents I don't have to worry about dinner (unless I feel like cooking), I don't have to think about when I am going to clean the house, I don't have to write up grocery lists ...... can it be any more PERFECT! A true vacation in every sense of the word. Would that all vacations could be so peaceful, ha....
You know what. I wrestle with how personal to get on this blog. I really do. Should this be a true blog about my life than I would be 100% personal, right, but I don't know that that is the correct way to go. There is such a thing as TMI and I am honest enough with myself to know that I really don't see where those lines are drawn, lol. Give me a hot second and you will know more than you ever wanted to know about me, my family, and every other aspect of my life that I can think of! Dangerous. Very dangerous.
What I am really driving at is, there are things going on, things I could and want to write about, I just don't know if it would be appropriate for me to do so. How's that for a teaser!? So, I guess I will just sit on it for awhile. Allow it to simmer in my head and heart......we'll see. Maybe before too long it'll square right in my mind, hahaha.
In other news. I have enrolled in 4 on-line classes at the college in NC. It is funny, I am much closer to being finished than I thought, lol. Which is a good thing, but it just cracks me up how very out of touch I have been with the direction and progress of my studies. I have finally decided...FINALLY, that nursing is where my heart is truly leading me. It is what I have wanted to do for as long as I can remember, so now I am buckling down and hoping that I can apply to the nursing program for next fall or spring. It is WONDERFUL to finally just know what I am going to pursue. I have spent so much time waffling, wasted time really, and to now have my direction, I can really attack the process! Yay for me, right, lol :-)
School starts two days after we get back from Cali. Nothing like hitting the ground running!!! I wrestled with taking on-line Vs. in person classes. I decided on the on-line because I could get more of the classes I wanted, not to say that the classes at the college were full, no, just that I would have been there at all hours all throughout the week. That dog just isn't gonna hunt, folks! No-can-do-skies! I have kids, dogs, house, husband (this is in no particular order of importance), myself and a myriad of other things I WANT to do (like lunches with friends!), that need to be taken care of. I can't be in class, 30 minutes away, all day, all week long. Nope, not gonna do it. So, until I absolutely MUST be in a class physically, it's on-line classes for me! I hope it goes alright. I have only ever taken one on-line course and it was so flippin' boring...read this chapter, answer these 2 questions from this section, write 2 papers on these questions from that section, turn it in by this date, make sure it is in this format....ugh. That was it. No interaction beyond checking blackboard for the assignment. It wasn't hard. No. Just boring.
Well, my little sprite has just woken up. We have a 2 mile walk ahead of us and than a day of pool time! Happy Summer days :-)
