I am alive...barely...

thought I would pop in for a second and let my faithful readers (ha ha ha) know I am not dead...

when I have more time I will write more but just to give you an idea of what the last 10 days have been like...

• Head to Fl for vacation
• Go to the beach on Monday and despite putting on 40 SPF sunblock turn into a giant boiled lobster
• Have a huge Tropical Storm hit while you are there
• Have said Tropical Storm basically stall out right where you are staying - dumping 24 inches of rain.
• Try to escape Tropical Storm and flood your car causing you to get out and push it in knee deep water to some strange persons house and leave car
• Wait in white couch and Tchocki hell till the rain stops to see if your car even will start up
• Take lots of pictures as water creeps closer and closer to the house
• Thank god I brought perfume and a big canister of wet ones since the sewer flooded and we can only use "minimal" water (nevermind we can't really flush the toilets...ewwww)
• Have car not start up
• Have car towed and be told that most likely the engine is ruined based on what they have seen so far
• Tell TC I have PMS
• Have first Tchocki "murder"...poor clown with monkey - TW states it is an accident...has to go up in front of a judge (aka great grandma)
• Cry as insurance company tells you if engine is damaged most likely they would total your car because it is old and has lots of miles on it
• Cry tears of joy when repair place tells us all they had to do was drain the engine and change the oil and that it was a miracle we didn't sustain full engine damage
• ESCAPE Florida
• On way home from FL find out BIL, SIL and three kids are coming to our house for a visit - ASAP...
• cry, cry, cry as it is Wed and BIL, SIL and said three kids are still at our home

Yeah our vacation was an adventure all right...one I would like not to repeat - EVER...
