I love going on vacation, but i love coming home, too....i just can't describe the feeling of walking into my home. It's almost like i finally exhale and feel totally at peace to be home. Of course, i get that feeling of peace when i arrive at the beach, but there is something that i love about where i call home. Tennessee is one of the most beautiful states--really, i'm just not saying that because i now call it home. Honest.
I managed to end up looking like a racoon with my sunburnt face....but i didn't care. No makeup for almost two weeks felt good-i did wear light makeup one night when we went out to eat at Hudson's. I managed to keep my face moisturized so it didn't feel like a piece of old leather and i got sun gradually instead of getting burnt my first day out. You finally learn that wisdom as you grow up, i guess.
Emma loved the beach and the pool. She had a wonderful time as she made friends with everyone she could while practicing her swimming. This kid loves water and loves to dive underwater. I'm now looking into lessons where she can get even better; but wow, those lessons don't come cheap. The biggest surprise was watching her take to seafood. One night, Robert brought us almost 4 lbs of fresh shrimp for dinner and i couldn't believe how much Emma ate. She loved shrimp! She peeled her own shrimp and ate her weight in shrimp. It was fun to watch her try new things....
Lots to do here at home....laundry and putting the house back together after the upstairs overflowed a few weeks before we went on vacation. All of the repairs are made, but carpets need to be cleaned, beds need to be moved around, sheets/comoforters bought and beds need to be made. It's been overwhelming, to say the least. Thankfully, Emma goes to camp next week during the day, so i think i can finish up then.
Back to my work....
