I just got back from a beach trip w/ my mom, grandma, and best friend. I look like a lobster. My sunburn hurts SO bad! And I got stung by a jellyfish! The lifeguard said I would have a 1 in 50 chance of getting stung, so I guess I'm 1 in 50 lol. It was the first time I've experienced that and it was the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. My whole leg felt like it was burning for, like, 5 hours! And it was swollen. It even left a scar. But other than the sunburn and jellyfish sting I had a wonderful time. I can't wait to go back next year. Hopefully I won't get stung by a jellyfish or get a lobster tan haha.
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?
