I managed to escape for 8 hours on a deep sea fishing trip yesterday. Didn't catch anything worth keeping, but a had a trip I will never forget. More on that to come once I get the pictures off my camera!

MIA
Sorry I've been MIA....been down the shore on vacation! I've been trying not to work too much (not so successful there) and have been trying to relax and enjoy quality time with the family. It's been a good week...ARL turned 9! We had a wonderful celebration filled with all her favorite foods...crab legs, shrimp, scallops and ice cream cake for dessert. I've been getting my runs in early in the morning (3 miles, 5, miles, 7 miles). We've enjoyed time at the beach, arcade, rides, etc. We went to Cape May and climbed 199 steps to the top of the lighthouse! The kids have been busy practicing for a play they performed for us last night. We were impressed with their show...they had real lines, played multiple parts, and had costume changes!

It's only the first day of summer vacation and....
I'm already threatening to send them to camp!
School went long this year due to all the snow & the strike. Today is actually the official last day of school, but I let them stay home since my Mom is here to play with them. Plus, they really have not been doing anything since last week. Who can concentrate or learn in a non-air conditioned school when it is over 90 degrees every day?
But, I digress....
They got up around 8. For those new to my blog, my kids are 8 and 6. By 8:30, I had separated them and threatened both of them with summer camp. How can they be THAT bad in a 1/2 hour? We had a fight over a DS game, my daughter (the older one who should know better) pushed my son in the head, and neither would listen to anything my Mom or I was saying.
Did I mention I work from home some days? And...I had a conference call that started at 9 am. We got them separated and I retreated to the office for some quiet. I believe they are now baking cookies (great...just what my waistline needs). At least I ran 4 miles this morning to compensate for any cookies I may eat later today. 3 pm coffee break, anyone??
How in the world am I going to survive 2 more months of this???
