BearsMountain: On Vacation

July 7, 2008

On Vacation

It's been a ride and a half this week, that's for sure. After putting dear Oscar to sleep on Wednesday, I gardened all day. I got so much done, and felt so fulfilled, until I woke up Thursday AM and couldn't move. I've been in terrible pain since. I'm afraid I'm going to run out of pain pills before I get home, so I'm rationing them out to myself, but I hate this.

OK....enough. Other than the pain, so far this trip is going well. We had a great time camping in Wyoming, took the kids swimming which they adored. We made it to South Dakota yesterday. This KOA...OMG....it's like a freaking resort. There isn't much you could want to do that isn't right here on the premises. 2 kiddie pools, a water slide, a "splash water play area", a bounce pillow...chuck wagon dinners, pancake breakfasts, etc..too much fun.

I'm pretty emotional, and everytime I feel like I get my head around it, to write it down, I can't get on the computer to actually do it, so I'll try to post more later.

Peace,

OC

Hi OC:

Take it as it comes. You are strong and emotions are not a weakness. I look forward to reading whatever you can create--and if nothing while on vacation, then I will await your return. Just focus on relaxing as much as possible and having a great time!

Be well, OC.
