On vacation

I’m so happy to be on vacation! Yes, it’s only 5 days away from work, but those are 5 desperately needed days. I was *this close* to ripping someone’s head off today. But now I’m at home feeling much better after our walk.

Although we were almost attacked by two very pissed off robins. A baby robin was hopping along the sidewalk and apparently we got too close because suddenly two adult robins were chirping up a storm and flying past our heads. Even as we continued away from the baby robin they kept hopping through the trees following us and chirping loudly. I’ve never seen anything like it before. I have no doubt had we actually touched the baby robin, we’d be dead with our eyes pecked out. Those were some fiercely protective parents, let me tell you.

So back to the relaxing. The house is super clean thanks to the hubby who has all this week off. Yesterday he cleaned the bathrooms, washed the floors, did a bunch of laundry (he even washed all our linens), and went to the store. I haven’t had to lift a finger. I came home tonight to chicken with potatoes in the crock pot. It was good too. I love and appreciate my hubby every day, but he gets mega points for all that.

Tomorrow is our 4th of July BBQ, although it might be an indoor one the way the weather forecast is looking. Then Thursday we’re off to Indianapolis to visit the Indy Zoo and some other sites that are still undetermined. I am so excited to visit the zoo’s dolphin dome, you don’t even know! I also can’t wait to see all the butterflies in the gardens nearby. I better go clear my memory cards and charge some batteries while I’m thinking about it.
