The Great Outdoors?
Just got back from a weekend of camping? So, I ask all you nature lovers. What’s so great about camping in the great outdoors?
It takes half a day to pack and load the pop up camper and then two hours to set up when we get there. Factor in the ticks we have to pluck off the dog and each other and the paranoid mother (me) who won’t let her children roll in the dirt and grass, and you’ve got maybe one day of fun before you have to spend another two hours packing up the camper to leave and more hours unpacking the camper at home. Then mom (me) has to spend the rest of the day doing laundry in hopes of killing all the stowaway ticks!
I need a vacation, preferably at the beach by myself with a good book, but since our mid-western state is land locked I guess a couple of hours at the nail salon tomorrow will have to do. If I can get an appointment.
BTW, I come home to my email and start bloglines hopping and find this!
I guess whether in the great outdoors or in the mall, there are critters lurking every where. Add clean purses to the list of chores I have to do today.
