I'm Done Bitching!

WOW!  My last two posts were definitely from a grumpy, frustrated, and bitter woman!  Well, I'm over it.  Jason's party turned out just fine.  Everything got done, with the help of Jason and Nick, my mom, and Scott too.  We had a great party, tons of good food, and all is right with the world!

When I first signed into my page I read the bottom part of my last post.  I was just being a bitch.  Bottom line!  I had so much to do, I was tired, and I've been feeling neglected so I just cut loose...in print.  Well, I told you right from the beginning that this is my therapy.  And, the bitching, it made me feel better.  And things are fine with Scott.  With his work schedule, I hardly see him and I slowly get pissed off about it.  What can I say?  I want the overtime, and I want to see my husband.  I want my cake, and I want to eat it too. 

It's funny because I'm sitting here at work, and I feel good today.  I don't have one single thing to bitch about today.  I woke up and the sun was shining.  The temp is going to be about 73 degrees, so it's not humid or screaming hot like it's been since the beginning of May.  It's a holiday weekend. 

Scott came up with a great idea for 4th of July.  He wants to take the kids someplace to see fireworks over the water.  So, he and Jourdan were brainstorming when I got home from work last night.  They decided we should drive up north to St. Ignace, and watch the fireworks in Mackinaw City.  Sounds like fun.  Have you ever been to St. Ignace to see the beauty of the Mackinaw Bridge?  Hold on, I'll see if I can find a picture of it.

Ok, theres night and day photo's.  Beth, it's 5 miles long....FYI.  Well, I have the best memories from my childhood in St. Ignace.  We went up camping almost every year and stayed at the Straits State Park.  If you don't know...it's right on the beach next to the Bridge. 

So, the thought of going up north is quite appealing to me.  I would totally love to go and take the kids.  I started looking at hotel prices, and it's $205 for a Suite at a nice hotel.  WOW!  Can you believe that?  For one night.  And it's a 4 hour drive, so I don't know.  The kids want to go worse than bad.  Actually, so do I because it's my favorite place to go.  After some research I found a Comfort Inn on the beach for $129 a night.  The kids are going to be so excited.  I feel bad though because Jason is going to work on Saturday so he won't be able to go.

I guess that's part of growing up, huh?  I remember my last family vacation that I took with my parents and my sisters.  It was the summer after I graduated and we went to Niagara Falls, then headed north through Canada to Sault Ste. Marie....came back into the U.S. and into St. Ignace.  I remember it was alot of driving!

Anyhow, we have our hotel now.  We'll be able to take the kids to see fireworks over Lake Huron!  That'll be cool.  I've never been up north during 4th of July.  We usually go at the end of July or beginning of August.  I'm sure the kids are going to have a blast!  I'm hoping they have the same great memories I have from my childhood taking vacations in St. Ignace.
