While on vacation, I chose to keep up with my posts with plain old pen and paper. So here is an entry from our week away from reality...
It's extremely humid here, by the ocean. The paper I'm writing on is damp and the fan is blowing the page every time I lift my hand. I think a little boredom has set in with the kids. They can't fully grasp the concept of relaxing or doing little to nothing. Between the bike rides, walks, swimming and late nights you'd think we'd be scooping them off the floor because they've oozed into some kind of gelatinous substance. As one of my dear children is peering through a broken kaleidoscope and the other is making necklaces with string and various odds and ends that she calls beads, my thoughts wander to food. What will eat? I suppose our lives revolve around eating, whether we'd like to admit it or not. If we don't eat, we don't function so whether we're planning our days around each meal time or cleaning up from the mess that is required to keep our bellies happy, there it is staring at us each and everyday, the need to eat. Ok, enough about trying to make myself not feel guilty about thinking about food or pondering about how much food we actually have to consume and how many times a day we're stuffing our faces....back to vacation....We've decided that each person will get to pick one restaurant to choose from. Today is my youngest's day to choose. Of course, like every fine 5 year old, who somehow sees every fast food window display, she has chosen Burger King but only for the happy meal toy....sigh.....We don't usually go out to eat so I suppose a trip to BK is ok....its vacation so anything goes, right??
