Dreadful Adventure

Well we are back from our holiday and i think it would have to have been one of the worst Ive taken in a long long long time. To start the experience off, Our son screamed for about 2 hours out of the 4 hours in the car, when we got to the holiday house i was chased by a massive moth ( i hate bugs!!!!!)then had to sleep in a double bed that felt like the mattress was over 50 years old and smelt really musty, and the bed head smashed against the wall every time you moved, and i was moving alot trying to keep springs out of my back and butt -- so i woke up from my 2 hours walking like i was about 90 years old... We went to do groceries on Saturday, and went to the beach, Obie hated the ocean and screamed like a maniac when we took him in, so we spent an hour or so building sand castles and chasing sea gulls, came home and find that our dog charlie had dug his way out of the fenced back yard and was running around the very busy street -yikes! Sunday was another day of walking around for the first few hours of the day like i was 90, but we decided to go to the Dog Friendly beach so we could take Charlie, he isn't friendly so he was growling and barking at all the other dogs running around with out leashes on, Obie hated this beach as well, so after a few altercations with large dogs, we decided it was time to go home. Monday - Went out for Breakfast with my brother, pancakes!! Tuesday -- Hubby got food poisoning and was raining, so we stayed in watching DVDs Wednesday - I got food poisoning and it was raining, by this time my back was so stuffed from the mattress i could hardly walk, so no sleep and more DVDs Thursday- Still suffering from the food poisoning, hubby went fishing with my dad and caught a flathead, then we drove home. So, it was one of those holidays id like to forget that i took, I'm just starting to feel better after the food poisoning, and i will never ever be able to eat what i suspect was the culprit again!

Oh your poor old chook! LOL I admit, I was having a little chuckle reading your post today, although I wouldn’t DARE to your face HAHAHA. What a nightmare of a holiday.
I will say, I am perplexed how a kid born to such a water baby beach bum mum DOESN’T like the ocean :S you breed ‘em weird I tell ya.

So tell, tell: what was the culprit? A Kebab?

LOL, its ok to laugh, just dont make me laugh when i feel that bad... or you could end up being embellished!!! i was hoping he would love the water... as he loves his lil plastic clam at home... ohwell more beach visits will have to be had :D...

The culprit was.... a dirty quarter pounder -- im so glad it wasnt a kebab, i love those damn things
