Frustration with Life

You would think that taking the kids to the beach is a good idea.� And you would be right.� However, feeding the kids while at the beach is another beast entirely.� My penny pinching wife, who didnt want to just get everyone a pizza or two to share on the boardwalk for all of $20, ended up spending $100 for food.� Albeit it was good food, my kids had never had good Greek food.� But still, Damn!!� If I had asked for a few extra bucks to buy ............Hell anything really the answer is NO.� I so need to set up a secondary account so I have a few buck stashed away for things that I want.� Even if it is to buy things for the kids for Xmas.�

Well, at the beach, VA beach BTW, the waves were huge.� Maybe not California huge or Hawaii huge, but huge for VA, thanks to the tropical storm off the coast.� The kids and I had a blast.� Of course I am hurting like a bear in a trap.� But somethings are worth pain.� Life is full of pain, my life especially.� So if I am going to hurt, I might as well try to have some fun.

The "Boys", my youngest nephews, were going to come with us.� We had made this trip especially so they could come with us.� Well, wen it was time to pick them up, we found out that there other uncle, the pot smoking unemployeed asshole uncle, grounded them.� Why are they grounded you ask?� Because they didnt turn off the TV when they went to bed.� What the fuck, you have got to be kidding me.� They are 7 and 5, thats what kids do, they fall asleep watching TV.� Then being a responsible adult you come along, tuck them in bed, turn off the tv and shut off the lights.� you dont ground them from going over to there favorite Uncles house when I am taking them to the beach and sacrificing my health, time, energy and money.� It was selfish of him to do that I think.� Any other opinions?
