See, it's harder for me. You have actual talent. I'm faking it. It's not easy!

90 degree weather. Ugh. The theatre has a pretty good air conditioner in the green room, so that's nice. But the stage is hot hot hot.

I'm thinking that maybe I should talk Ralphie into taking a vacation somewhere calmer. Not as stressful as the Big Apple. Do people still call it that? Am I dating myself?

Derail:
Last night I had a dream that they revamped the Haunted Mansion. They took out the DoomBuggy track and gave each car a steering wheel. You could drive anywhere you wanted to in the Mansion and discover rooms that you never saw before. It was like the Pooh ride in Disneyland Tokyo. I thought that was so cool. I drove down the endless hallway to see what was at the end of it. It ended in an outdoor courtyard with stone statues and a crypt with stained glass windows. The dream ended there. It was cool.

Sounds like the Walt Disney World Racing game to me. I may have to get out the Playstation later.

Rerail: There are some most excellent hammocks at the Caribbean Beach Resort (among others). I'm just sayin'.

Oh GC, I am so there. And a hammock? I almost purchased one. But, we have too many spiders in our yard and I figured working too hard on taking it out and setting it up each time defeats the purpose of relaxing, right?

I've been burnt out because A} The Hubster has been working a helluva lot. B} I've been working at Target part-time {but full time hours} and at times many many days in a row. It was getting to me how the house was being run {and I don't mean cleaned, ha, not that} and I really felt my youngest {12} needed my meddling. So, I changed hours and voila! I am barely working now.

But, that only started today. I am burnt out and want to hit the road. At the end of 'Pirates' there was something {I can't recall exactly} but the Hubster and I saw it and turned to one another and squealed 'Road trip!'.

But, alas alack, not enough time or funds. So . We are banking up for the boys break, starting in September {when will you be at the park, GC and Matterhorn Fan???}. It will be sooooo hard.

We are sneaking in over nighters here and there. I still want to go to the Queen Mary and see the Titanic.

Do you think that causes more stress/burnout, thinking about what you want to do? Or does that help by giving hope that eventually you will be doing those things? I thought this recently. Was I torturing myself looking at all of the places on line that I want to go?

My mind is totally not rested. As you can tell by this random post.

Is somebody talking about me?

I'm so confused! MouseWife, I will meet you just about anytime at any of the FL parks (are you really planning a trip out here?). I haven't been to Anaheim since last December, and that was a bit of a fiasco (partially my fault, partially circumstances). Right now I have no Anaheim plans.

Yeah, I'm talking about you! But mostly hoping that you might have plans. But, I remember your occupation and it is bad timing. Wishful thinking, bad timing.

Can I have a spot on your hammock? Let's just put it out on a tropical island somewhere, and make sure there's no phone, but plenty of nearly naked island boys to fan us with palm fronds and serve us mai tais.

This is the best idea ever.

This sounds good. We're looking into this place, a place in Portland, ME and P-Town in MA. We'll see what we can book.
I officially nixed the NYC idea this morning with the Ralphster. During our morning walk, we decided it would be better to see the city when the Christmas lights go up...

If you want to count Saturday and Sunday Aug 12 and 13 as a break, then yes. I'm looking at those being my only two days off between now and Aug 14. For four weeks I can maintain the pace, I'm sure, and the financial benefit of about 10 weeks of normal billing in a four week period will be nice.

I don't.

Too bad you couldn't get in some relaxing downtime between the two jobs. But I can understand jumping to the next thang.

Kids are a lot of work.
