…head towards the beach.
The girls & I are packing our bags & heading home for a week. Florida here I come.

I was finally starting to feel better towards the end of my dad’s visit & the day after he left & I was on my own again with the kids the symptoms came flooding right back. I need help & my wonderful husband, who’s been my Superman lately, just can’t do it all. I need family. They say it takes a village right? Destination Sunshine State. Isn’t it funny how we can be grown ass women with a family of our own but when life gets crazy we still run to mommy?
I’ll miss P & my home desperatlely but I think this is our best option. I need to be back on my feet again ASAP, it’s driving me B-A-N-A-N-A-S to have so many projects on indefinite hold. I’ve stopped running, crafting, writing & most importantly being able to spend quality time with my family. I HAVE to get myself back & right now I think a week of rest by staying with family is my best bet. Who knows, maybe resting down there & having my girls more than entertained will even allow me to bust out my mom’s glue gun & make something. Anything! We’ll see…I’m just hoping for coming back feeling like myself again. I’m on Day 17 of antibiotics & feel no better but the specialist I saw this week says to wait for Week 3. Week 3 is the supposed magic number. Say a little prayer.
In the meantime how about some sugar saturated cuteness from Halloween?
Before I got sick I was going to make Sam a Dorothy costume (I was going to use the circle skirt pattern for a nice twirly blue gingham bottom half & an apron top half would’ve been so simple, obviously red glittered shoes a la this glitter shoes tutorial would’ve been a cinch) & Soph was going to be Toto. I bought this cute doggie costume off of amazon & was going to dye the whole thing dark grey & remove the collar. Oh well. It was a nice thought. As Halloween got closer & I realized my craft studio doors were staying shut I decided to improvise. Sophie was a regular puppy with some pink ribbons around the ears so people wouldn’t call her a boy & Sam was Glenda the Good Witch. Thank goodness she has a well-rounded dress up box!
She was so funny, everyone kept calling her a princess & by the end of the night she was so miffed! Anytime someone would go “Aww, what a beautiful princess!” she’d look at me with a furrowed brow & scowl, “Tell them I’m GLENDA.”
Halloween was actually a really nice memory, the girls were adorable, the air was crisp & I had my wonderful little family to walk around the neighborhood with. In the end who’s going to remember that their costumes weren’t handmade?
Feel better and enjoy some Florida sunshine!
The girls looked adorable. I thought Sam was a butterfly princess. Maybe you should send the girls to Florida and stay home and really rest. I love when my family takes my son for a while. It makes a huge difference. Hope you have a nice trip and get feeling better in week 3. :o)
Super cute pictures, have a great time and feel better 🙂
