Bare With Me...


Now I remember why I really DO NOT care for the month of August...Vacations. Everyone takes off for their vacations here at work....and it's HOT. I mean Really hot! 111degrees in the shade, hot. Hubby and I worked 12hrs yesterday. Crystal comes in around 7am and stays 'til 3pm. Our office manager, Ken, thought he needed a vacation to Colorado...four wheeling, wind blowing in his hair...laughing....you know the MO! So, I have to take his spot on the front AND close shop with Hubby in the evenings. We went to bed at 7:30 last night...the phone rang at 8:30, and then AGAIN at 9:30pm. I just sat there, in the bed, staring at the wall. I know You know the feeling...so after tossing and turning, I Finally went to sleep at 1am....The alarm went off at 5am...here we go again. Now I'm sitting here staring at Julia Child...cooking...Something. Oh well, tomorrow's FRIDAY and Ken is suppose to be back on Monday. I've been a BAD blogger buddy and not visited much...I'm Sorry! Have Mercy on meh! Hubby and I NEED a Vacation...Badly! I told him the Alien Museum in Roswell, New Mexico was calling my name...Sedona...Grand Canyon...Hopi Indian Reservation and Las Vegas are Also on the list! I want some wind in My hair...Happy day y'all!

Phew, I'm so glad you really don't mean "BARE" with me because I'm just not ready for that ... BAAAAHAHAHA just kiddin' with ya luvvy. I ache for you because I know what it's like to be so tired you just don't know how you're going to cope, and then your sleep is interrupted, and you're just out of options and have to keep on going. I hope you get that much-needed vacay VERY SOON darling and don't worry a bit about blogging. You're missed but when you don't show up for awhile it makes it all the more special when you do! Hugs and kisses and pats on the back to you! Now go put your feet up!

You need to try my schedule. I knew it was going to be hot and rather hectic to accomadate my schedule. I got up at 5am, couldn't decide to go out for breakfast, cook or just go fishing. I grabbed a sandwich and hit the lake. Jumped in since I am camping and took my bath. Fished out 25 worms some catching 2-3 fish. Got one heck of a turtle, glad he wasn't hungry while I took my bath.I'm at Mac's using their WIFI and drinking a fruit drink. Phew, what a day, you should join me.Hope you get a chance!

Ann said...

I think you should tell Ken, the next time he wants to go on vacation he HAS to take you along or it's no deal...lol
Hope you get some rest tonight.

I hope you get that vacation soon if not I hope you at least have a restful weekend.

Gordon said...

It sounds like you need that vacation. You are so dedicated to keep blogging even when under such pressure. I am afraid I take the easy way out and let it slide; I have been busy too AND have had a holiday in Europe. Sorry to have not kept in touch.

Don't worry we all understand. I certainly understand the high temps and hope y'all will be able to take a "cool" vacation very soon!

Donna said...

As soon as you can, you need to high-tail it out of there and have some good, old-fashioned FUN for yourselves! Oh, an Arizona or New Mexico trip sound wonderful. Just wait for the fall temperatures to settle in for a bit!

This summer heat has been the pits. Going to bed when it's 98 degrees out. It all makes Marty very cranky, LOL!

My son in law is bone tired day after day this month because so many are taking off at the restaurant where he works. He was supposed to have this weekend off but they just called and he has to go out again tomorrow. Oh, well, the month is almost over. I hope you get some rest and go on a mini vacation if you can;t go on a longer one.
