So I know it has been a long while since I have blogged on Xanga.  I thought I'd drop in and do some cleaning up of the page and put a little update out.  Things have been really okay in my world for the most part since I was last here.  I quit my job, which was a good thing because the hour commute was killing me.  by the time I got off work, picked the kids up from school and sitters, it was sometimes 7 or 730 before I got home.  By the time dinner was cooked and eaten and kids bathed it was time for bed.  No way...I was missing too much of my childrens lives.  So currently I am looking for a job closer to home. 

On the relationship front, things are ok there I guess.  My dreams of Chris have returned again, so needless to say the insomnia is back.  You have to love trying to take care of a 4 year old all do on only 1 hour of sleep.  Thank goodness he still takes a nap!!!  I guess I am going to have to bite the bullet and finally see a therapist.  These dreams are too much and I can't continue with no sleep. 

Other than this life is great. Aidan will be done with kindergarten as of tomorrow, and we will have an entire summer to hang out.  I have a second interview for an office manager position in a physical therapy office next week (cross your fingers).  I promise to be a better blogger too guys!!!  Untill then here are some pictures of my beautiful family!

   This weekend we packed up the kids and headed to our favorite beach- Port Aransas.  We took the precautionary measure of checking the weather.  Predicted sunshine  with some light showers.  What a joke.  We left Friday morning and drove the three hours to the coast.  Jason and I set up our tent as we decided to camp  instead of stay in a hotel.  It started out to be a gorgeous day just very windy.  After setting up camp we played in the water with the kids and were having a great time.  We barbaqued and then the kids were done so they went to sleep.  Jason and I sat out under the stars talking and just relaxing together which is something we rarely have the time to do.  At around 12 that noght it happened.  Our tent collapsed, the poles snapped and it started raining.  So poor Jason was out in the rain untill 1 am trying to fix the stupid thing.  I finally made him give it up and we packed up and took the thing back to Walmart.  We had to drive about thirty minutes to Rockport to find a Walmart and when we got there there were no other tents.  So we decided to try to find the Walmart in Aransas Pass (that's the town where you can catch the ferry to get onto Port Aransas).  We got directions and looked and looked but could not find it.  All the hotels were booked and we were too exhausted top drive home so we ended up sleeping under the stars once the rain stopped.  Not so bad right?  Well that's not even the worst.

   Saturday morning we woke up to a little sunshine and some cloudiness but all in all it seemed like it might turn out to be a nice day.  WRONG!!!!  We cooked breakfast, and then went back to try to find the Walmart.  After two more tries, we finally found it.  I went in bought another tent, got a weather report (the clouds were supposed to clear by noon)  and we went back across the ferry and set up the tent and went splashing at floating out in the waves.  About an hor later someone behind us yells waterspout!  For thse that don't know a waterspout is just a tornado over the water!   Well it is rapidly gaining speed and heading right for the beach.  So we rushed the kids into the car and were planning on just abandoning our stuff and geting out of there, but the darn thing hit land and broke up so we decided to wait and see what happened.  Well within 5 minutes it started pouring rain.  Stingingf rain and a little hail.  So we packed up and decided enough is enough.  We're heading home. We started driving up the beach to get back on the roads to the ferry, when I spotted another spou out over the water.  As we are driving away from it we spotted an area that in that apparently got hit hard as the trashcans were demolished and there wer dead gulls everywhere.    We got off that island as fast as we could!!! 

   So that was our lovely experience on our last trip to the coast for the year.  We won't be heading back again for several months.  But at least we have a story to laugh about!
