i want to live here....

so, the weather, the sunshine, the family time, all of it, i want to stay here forever. i guess everyone feels that way on vacation. i am sleeping well, feeling well, hell even my skin is clearer. (my acne hit my on my 26th birthday this past year and i swear it won't go AWAY!)

anyway, i will step away from the way i have been doing these vacation posts to approach another, more interesting subject. i must forewarn you tho......i hope i am not offensive about what i am gonna write, but i have to get it out. i missed mama loco's pissed off post, but if i didn't i would have written about this...

kids.

yeah, i know. we all know they are sniveling, whiny, needy little they are precious gifts from God. but sometimes wheni happen to be on vacation, enjoying my family and our time together i wish there were no other children. anywhere within 50 miles of me.

why? well, let me start by saying, my child is certainly no angel. somedays he makes me want to pull my hair out and run away screaming. however.....i always make it a point to make sure other people aren't feeling that way because of him.

you see, i understand that other people don't have children and so maybe they don't want ot hear mine whining. i get it that not everyone thinks my kid syas and does the most cutest, adorable things. i realize that allowing my child to run around like a mindless idiot is not conducive to everyone enjoying themselves.

sadly, i have discovered that not many fellow parents get those facts. they allow their children to push, shove and scream to get their way. they think their child should be the only one at the front of the line at all times. they even let their 6 year old push their 2 year old in a stroller down a hill in a crowd of 150 people without a care.

when you pay $150 extra dollars for a private tour of penguins because you know they are your sons favorite animal and some spoiled rotten piece of shit 5 year old 5 year old girl is whining the whole time once she's had her turn to pet the penguin that everyone else is taking too long. her parents were disgusted. oh, but not with her. with us. for taking too long. i wanted to reach out and trip them while they walked. i also wanted to not go to jail.

trust me, i am not the parent of a perfect kid. i know it. but....as a parent i do feel it is my job to keep him from disrupting others who don't love him the way that i do.

maybe i should have said my complaint was about parents.

anyway, we did have a great last two days, yesterday we sat at the pool for hours and then today we went to seaworld, and had fun petting penguins! out to dinner, where we stuffed ourselves with mexican and now we are gonna go see the animals at night!

i got my very first award ever the other day from just a chic and i screamed in my chair! ( i love that freakin woman!) here it is...

ok, now i pass it onto 8 people......
