I always seem to bitch and complain about how boring and routine life is but when Mike suggests we do something, I'm always too tired to make the effort to do it.
On Saturday i worked the morning shift but after waking up at 5:30am (half hour late) and getting to work at 6:04am, driving about a litre of coffee, I was awake and revved up to do anything. So I get home and Mike suggests Wasaga Beach. Are you effing serious?? Yup! So we tell the kids we are going to the beach and they were so excited and just bouncing off the walls. We gathered towels and bathing suits, car keys and credit cards and off we went.
Kids were totally deflated when they realized that the beach is not next door, in fact it was just over an hour away. We get there and park the van, kids slip into bathing suits and off we go into the water.
Holy crap is it ever dirty!! The first 3-5 feet of water is in fact slugged, icky muddy water with sand floating on top. Sean was freaking out at first because he is seriously a germaphobe and Adrienne absolutely refused to get in that shit! They did get over it and as we went in deeper the water got a bit cleaner. They splashed around until Sean decided to drink the yuck stuff. Emily was digging for sludge underneath the water then running to the shore to make a castle.
We got out of the water for a bit and Mike and girls went to get some food while Sean and i cuddled in a towel and he stopped shivering. They return with food from Burger King and i swear every single seagull on that damn beach surrounded us. It reminded me of some book/story that i read of the young Russian couple that were chased by a pack of wolves and i believe the husband sacrificed his new bride to save his own skin... They completely surrounded us and watched every bite so intently. Sean took a mozzarella stick and put it on a frisby about 1 foot away didn't a damn bird swoop in and steal it!!!
So they all decide to go back in the water but i could see lightening in the distance so out we go. We figured we'd just get dressed and walk along the strips and see whats in the shops.... but the torrential downpour started so we hopped into the van. Mike got us all Dairy Queen and then we were off. We got home at 9:30pm and we had to dump the kids in the tub to clean the sludge off them. By the time we got them to bed it was after 10pm. You'd think they'd sleep....
Finally, i had a morning off but you'd think the kids would co-operate...I went to the bathroom at 2:20am, woke up to Noelle licking her stitches at 5:00am (she got the cone off!), Sean came in at 5:20, I went to his bed at 5:30, he and dog went back to his bed at 6:00, then work up girls by 6:20, I went back to my bed at that time, at 6:30 emily was in the bathroom brushing her teeth and asking what she should wear, made them all go downstairs and dozed off again til 8:30am.
We made Eggs Benedict for breakfast and i got to sew and just veg while mike went shopping around. Only problem was that i was having the contractions from hell all bloody morning! And i worked at 3pm. Can't wait til next weekend when i'm off. We're going to Centre Island!
