Enough about Irene and her poor pathetic dots...she is what she is. Adieu...

Anyhoo...I'm at the beach in Delaware with my lovely daughter and the parental units. As usual, when I'm at the beach, it's raining YET AGAIN!!! Are the rain gods trying to tell me something?? Maybe along the lines of "Cover your fat self as you have no business being in a bathing suit".

Being at the beach in bad weather is not fun, especially with a six year old and two senior citizens (although these two age groups are
suprisingly similar! I am catching up on my sleep, as all of them are under their covers by 8:30 every night). My parents want to be involved with my daughter in activities, but they don't seem to grasp the idea that going to the "Club" for drinks is not Elizabeth's idea of fun. However, you've never laughed until you've seen my daughter and mother, after two strong gin and tonics, play Chutes and Ladders. I don't know how many times Elizabeth has to explain to my mother you GO UP THE LADDERS and DOWN THE SLIDES!! Not to mention, for some odd reason, my mother always insists on being the African American girl with dreadlocks...

We head home tomorrow...where I'm sure the sun will be shining!
