Taking a break!

So we took some this a past week to give ourselves a break and relax. My husband's family was camping at the beach so we joined them every day after work. My kids stayed there on days they didn't have school ~ now they're all peeling from being in the sun. I enjoyed a swim in the ocean on Saturday ~ it's funny, living on an island you'd figure I'd be in the ocean at least once a month. I can't even remember when I was last in the ocean before this past Saturday. Now that my son is old enough to enjoy the water with us, we need to make it a point to get to the beach more often. Our girls certainly ask us enough to take them to the beach and I think it's about time we start filling that request. Hopefully, next summer, my husband and I can take the week off with our kids (or at least a couple of days) and stay at the beach during the day too, not only in the afternoon. We'd also be able to camp out in our tent at the beach with everyone else instead of have to go home at night because we need to get up for work in the morning. Well...it's back to the daily grind...kids are in school and I am at work. Not only am I back at work, but I have to stay late today *sigh* ~ the beach is sounding really nice right about now.
