| Don't worry. No bears visited my family this past weekend |
As some of you may know, I was very much on my own since Thursday evening when my husband took the kids camping-sans me. Even though I knew I would miss the "family time," I just couldn't get past the whole idea of camping. I hate camping (especially roughing it in a tent), always have and always will, and I knew they would all have a better time without all my neuroses’about the dirt and bugs. As it turned out, my husband and daughter had a wonderful time despite it raining all day long on Saturday, and my son? He has mixed feelings, but he may be more like his mother than he cares to admit...
But I am so glad I survived as well. At first it was so quiet and a bit unnerving, particularly at night. Let's just say that I haven't had a decent night's sleep since they left. I was so tired, but as soon as I went to bed I was wide awake...listening. This house makes some strange noises and with my over active imagination it was always after 3 AM before I finally slept. (On the first morning I even watched the sun come up-not by choice of course.)
My husband took lots of pictures but I will share some later in the week. Thank goodness for
Succinctly Yours, another writing meme that piggy backs on the idea of
Susan of the Stony River Blog.
Grandma Goulash posts a picture and you are to write a
140 character or word story about it. You can also use the word of the day in your post if you wish. This week's word is
oblivious. Here this week's picture and my take this week:
Recent changes in the Queen's dating choices were experimental, but she didn't know a night out with Bozo involved his wearing the makeup. (138 characters)
I don't know why I'm still up, but I am (hopefull) heading off to slumberville now. Hope to stop by soon!
I guess you either love camping or hate it all together. That bear sure looks dangerous, is that from a previous trip?
ReplyDeleteI don't like being away from my family for longer than a day either.
Ha ha that made me laugh. Good interpretation of the picture Susan!
ReplyDeleteA fun micro. Enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAnother fabulous micro! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute!
ReplyDeleteHope you get some sleep!
She has my sympathy. I suppose that everyone has had a few of those date surprises.
ReplyDeleteFun micro! And I dislike camping.
ReplyDeleteMy husband hates camping so we never do it. He says it reminds him too much of army basic training. I'm not so keen on it myself any more--I like a comfy bed. I'm with you about being home all alone for a few nights--it's unnerving and hard for me to get to sleep because of all the nighttime house noises and other sounds (deer walking outside,etc,).
ReplyDeleteCute and clever and funny SY this week! Hope you catch up on your sleep!
Wonderful! I really like this one! It's difficult to be Queen!
ReplyDelete:)
You are cracking me up today. Starting with, 'Survival IF the fittest'! The succincly made me LOL : ) We used to camp but only in a well equipped RV. That became too expensive a few years ago. I miss the marshmallow roasts but my back can't handle a tent.
ReplyDeleteHaha! The Queen really took a chance dating a guy with a name like that. Funny take on the pic.
ReplyDeleteI bug out if my husband is away and I'm alone at night...I put a kitchen chair in front of the basement door because I'm such a chicken!
ReplyDeleteA man in make-up is always suspicious! LOL
ReplyDeleteToo funny about Bozo! Good job, Susan.
ReplyDeleteGlad that the camping trip went well.
