I am beyond tired today. What a day of tiredness. It was even worse than yesterday!! I could hardly keep my eyes open. My younger daughter wasn’t feeling well this morning, so she stayed home from school. I flopped on the couch and we watched The Bachelorette together. It’s so old now. We’re really behind. It ended ages ago and we’re watching pvr’d episodes. I can’t believe I haven’t heard or seen any spoilers yet!!  It’s just a fun show to watch. I know it is serious to the people on it, if you’re truly looking for your potential partner for life. But I enjoy seeing all of the cool places that they travel to and the fun things they get to do. It’s very cool. They were in Sweden in today’s episode and Denmark I think. Pretty cool. Afterwards we just watched a Reno show of some sort. She was feeling a bit better, so she went to school for the afternoon. There’s a new city bus that comes out to Beaumont. My daughter and her friends wanted to try it out, since it’s free for September. A whole group of them went on it after school. They took it to century park and then took the LRT to Southgate. They stayed at Southgate for a bit, then did the whole thing in reverse to get back home. I was okay with it as long as they all stuck together as a group. That way if they got into the wrong LRT or something they’d be together. But, they were fine. They took all of the correct things and got to where they meant to go and back home again. It’s crazy how grown up they’re getting. My baby girl…

This afternoon my oldest daughter played a video game while I napped on he couch. I just couldn’t keep my eyes open. So I decided to stop fighting it and just went to sleep. It’s actually one of my favourite HGTV days, because it’s beach day! They go to the Caribbean and buy properties and tell you about the islands and it’s all so beautiful and hot and I think that I could easily live that kind of life… I really enjoy watching it. My daughter recorded all of today’s episodes for me while I slept, so that I could watch them later. Which is exactly what we did. 

Once the kids came home from school and I woke up a bit, not much I still felt very tired, we started to watch the Caribbean Life episodes that were on today. My son sat in between us. He likes answering the trivia questions that they ask before each commercial break. He played on he iPad and watched the shows a bit too. He also went downstairs for a while to be with my hubby, who was playing one of his video games downstairs. What a lazy-ass day it was!! I wish I knew why I felt/feel so darn tired!! It’s maddening feeling like you can’t keep your eyes open!! I got nothing done at all, because I was barely functioning for most of the day!! Well, tomorrow my daughter and I are pulling her bed out from the wall…again! And spraying the bug stuff all along the baseboards all around her room.  We’re washing her blankets, most of the clothes are done. She’s slept in my bed all week and my hubby has been on the couch!! Not fair to him. We really have to get her room bug-free!! So things can go back to normal! What a strange week!! A bad work week for my hubby, a buggy week for my daughter, another week of major tummy pain for my oldest daughter, and a sleepy week for me. Crazy!!  My son’s week seemed pretty normal, so that’s good I guess. Weird. Everything all at once right. That’s just Murphy’s law. Right?! Well, I’m still tired. I’ve been running my eyes all day. I’m going to head to bed. Night All💤😴‼

Today was like a repeat of yesterday…not a good day for my hubby. He’s majorly stressed out. I don’t know what is going to happen with work, but something’s gotta give… not a good situation!

I was tired again today. I didn’t sleep well again. I spent a big chunk of the night just lying here. I’ve been thinking, I wonder if the reason that I haven’t been able to sleep is that I haven’t had my Suboxone (because my hubby’s stupid new health insurance people won’t cover it! So I couldn’t get it, the pharmacy wanted $500 for it!!) it’s been about a week now that I haven’t had it and I’ve had difficulties sleeping for the last week or so. So maybe the Suboxone made me sleepy. It is a type of pain killer (for my face pain) and many pain killers make you drowsy. The problem is, I’m tired during the day, falling asleep practically, but I’m lying here at night…too frustrating! Well, if that’s the case, hopefully I get used to having it out of my system, sooner rather than later! (Rather then or rather than?? Hmmm…did I write that incorrectly??) 
Today we (my hubby and I) watched some HGTV and then, once my daughter got up, we watched Big Brother. It was the last two episodes from the summer, including the finale. And, I gotta say, I’m shocked by who won!! I mean it aired last night -spoiler alert- but the winner is a shocker. One of the best players made it to final two and he played the game well, very well, and the other player just floated along and did the bidding of others. But the jury this year, talk about bitterness and sore-losers!! Instead of rewarding the great strategic player, who pretty much called the shots all summer long, they gave it to the annoying floater, who couldn’t think for himself! Crazy ness! I mean what a stupid jury!! Get over yourselves, you got out played by a better player. He deserved to win the $500,000.00. I mean that’s half a million bucks! What is wrong with them? I was shocked. My daughter wasn’t only shocked, she was angry! Like physically boiling!! It’s one of the first juries that I have seen, that’s voted emotionally – out of anger and bitterness. Generally, the jury knows enough to vote for the far superior player. What a bunch of dumb dumbs. I just can’t get over it. How selfish. What a reason to win, just because they were angry hat part of his strategy was to get you evicted. That’s how the game’s played and he played it so well. I guess I’m a little angry too! I a, definitely ranting a little bit here. You could even tell that the host thought that it was the wrong winner. Sad…I feel bad for him. He did everything right. He just thought he was dealing with people who could think with their heads and keep their anger and bitterness out of it. It’s ridiculous! I just can’t believe that they were okay with giving the win to the doofus!! Idiots! I hope they look back and see how wrong hey were once they are more removed from it!! Well, that was a disappointing end to a good summer!! 

When the show was over, my hubby played his video game for a bit, while I read some of my Jamaica book. Then once the kids were home from school, we, my hubby and I, dropped my daughter off for dance. Then we went to the Sherwood Park Costco. I needed my Lax-a-Day and Metamucil. We needed a few other things too, while we were there. We were trying not to spend too much money, which is easy to do at Costco. We got things that we thought we absolutely needed. Whatever could wait until the next pay cheque, we didn’t buy. It’s so much fun living on a tight budget. It isn’t stressful at all…

After Costco, we went to The Local for supper. I’ve never been there. Did I get the name correct? We had supper and talked about his stupid situation at work. Not feeling a whole lot of job security right now…yikes!! Not a good thing to be feeling after booking a holiday!! Not good at all. I just want to know what the bleep ditty bleep is going on. I ordered a burger, and my hubby ordered a chicken sandwich. They were both quite good!! I was surprised by how tasty it was. 

After supper we got gas then we picked up our daughter from dance. She was starving. We talked about what to do for supper all the way home. I found some Subway coupons in the car and since my hubby and I already ate, we just needed food for the kids. We ended up grabbing Subway, then going home. It was almost 7:00 by the time we got home. I read some mor e of my Jamaica book, then put my son to bed. And I got ready for bed and am now here, writing this. My younger daughter may have a bad sore in her ear. She said it hurts, it almost feels swollen, like there’s a lump in it and when she tried to use a cue tip, there was blood on it. I may have to get a dr to look at it. I hope it’s okay.  I think I’m going to head for bed. I actually feel exhausted right now. Night All 💤😴‼

Today my hubby had a bad day at work. I hope it gets better there. Things haven’t been great there for a while…let’s just pray that things improve. Nothing like working your arse off and getting blamed for everything that goes wrong! Especially when you’re good at making things go right, but that’s never recognized or acknowledged. I just hope it gets better. I don’t like it when he’s unhappy. It affects everything and everyone. Not a good situation. I hope it gets better or something happens to change things. 

This morning I was half zombie lady. I was so tired that I was totally out of it. I was sitting with my coffee half-drinking it, half watching my hubby play a video game before work and half sleeping. I almost spilled my cup about a million times. My hubby actually got up to take it from me, which prompted me to wake up a bit more, to finish it off, then I drifted off again. Why have a been so darn tired this week?? Your guess is as good as mine! Still getting used to the new back to school schedule, still not sleeping well the past few nights, or a combination of both! It’s pretty frustrating. My daughter kept telling me that I should go lie down and have a real nap, not a half-assed one sitting up on the couch.  I’m tired now. Still. I was almost asleep singing to my son. I hope I can keep my eyes open long enough to finish this. Even if it ends up being a short post. 

I had the exciting job of…doing more laundry today!! Pretty fun eh??! What else did I do? Well, my daughter and I watched Fixer Upper again. I just love watching how they transform houses from a dump to a dream home. I really like the hosts design taste. Her vision for these huge homes that are often falling apart are crazy! Today she totally flipped one house, literally, the master and ensuite turned into the kitchen and dining room and the kitchen became the bedroom, she completely envisioned how much better things would work and flow if they were to flip things around. I wish we had the money to do a big renovation to our house. But, nope! We have what we have and that’s that!! So, I guess that I just have to live through the show vicariously!! That’s my life! Yes it is! It’s what I get to do. I wish there were more, but there’s not, I’m stuck like his boohoo…hey! (Sing to jingle bells what I just wrote, starting from that’s my life!!)

After school I watched one more episode of the show, then I made tacos for supper, they are a favourite of the kids. I tried to slip a couple stale leftover shells in there from last time we had tacos, but the girls noticed! Darn they’re growing up too fast…starting to notice things like that, sheesh!! After our early supper, my hubby drove my darling to her dance class. I had a nice shower. Then I watched some funny YouTube videos with my oldest for a while, until she had to go bed early. Then my son and I played the keep he balloon in the air game and then we played indoor basketball! We played that until it was time to start getting ready for bed. We got water and came up and got ready and I got my little ,an into bed and then myself. And here I am!!  And here I go…night all 💤😴‼

I’m sitting in the car waiting for my daughter to be finished her hip hop class. I’m a bit early. There’s about 15 more minutes of class left. Now there’s only 5 minutes to go. My oldest just texted me, I was talking to her and it helped kill time. I spent most of my day with her again!! Well, my morning was with my hubby. It was snowing out!!! Crazy stuff! We didn’t really do much. We just chilled out and watched tv together. I was tired. All day today. I felt my eyes drifting shut then I’d snap them open suddenly and then they’d gradually start to try to close again. I haven’t slept well the past couple of nights. I’m probably thinking of bugs. Yuck!

This afternoon my daughter fell asleep beside me on the couch while I was looking on the iPad at places in Jamaica. I was looking on a site that I found. It’s like airbnb and vrbo. This one has a lot of the same places. The difference is that it’s not in Canadian dollars, it’s in pounds. So I have to multiply by 1.6 to get the accurate price. I just wanted to see if there was anything different. Most of them were repeats though. The waiting to find out where we’re going to book is killing me!! I looked at this site until I had to go pick up my kiddos from school. My son ended up going to a friend’s house after school, so I just had to pick my daughter up. My daughter (the younger one) wanted to make us supper tonight. She made chicken fried rice. She did it at school in her foods class and wanted to make it at home. So I didn’t have to make supper today. After supper I sat with my son for a bit, but not long though, because I had to drive my daughter to her hip hop class. While she was dancing, I ran to Winners. I bought her some black Converse socks for her Lyrical class. They’re doing their dance in socks this year and they’re practicing in socks, so they’re used to it. She wanted some good ones. I hope they’ll work. I also got myself some socks, some hairspray, blackhead stuff and basecoat nail polish that is supposed to get rid of the ridges on your nails. My thumb nails are covered in ridges, so hopefully it works!! I guess I’ll have to wait and see once I try it. It was only $4,99. Gotta love Winners!! The only problem is that things add up. I spent $50 and it feels like I hardly bought anything!! So frustrating!! I guess I didn’t need the basecoat…but that was the cheapest thing I bought!! I guess that’s life right!?  Little things adding up!  Oh…she’s here. I’ll finish briefly once I’m home. 

Hey. I’m in bed now. We got home at about 9:35. My son wasn’t asleep yet. He was waiting for me to put him to bed. So, I did that. Then I got myself ready for bed and here I am. I don’t know if I have much to add though. My tummy hurts, I feel like I’m eating my foamy pills (gavascon) like they’re going out of style!! Oops!! I almost fell asleep while singing songs to my son. I’m super sleepy. I think I’m going to turn in for the night. So, until tomorrow…night all💤😴‼

My oldest and I were together most of today – in between loads of laundry of course. We watched tv and did the dishes and tidied the living room together. We watched Fixer Upper an HGTV show. They help people find an older house to purchase and then totally renovate the entire house for them. The transformations are incredible to watch! How they visualize, in a dump of a house, what it could be like is mind boggling!! Then they demo the house and rebuild their vision. It’s cool to watch. Very easy to get into.

After picking the kids up from school, I drove my daughter to dance. Then I went to my mom and dad’s house to drop off their BC house key that my hubby had (since he was there on the weekend.) I had a cup of tea with my mom and dad and looked at some old photos, from when I was a kid that my dad put on a data stick from his old slides. Then my dad and I went to Home Depot. I bought some bug traps and spray that is supposed to kill carpet beetles. I’m going to set traps up wherever we’ve found them and spray all the baseboards and cracks and crevices around them. Hopefully this helps. If not, I may need to get a quote from an exterminator. I’m nervous about the cost of this. We are pretty dead broke and trying to save anything we can, which is really not that much, to go to Jamaica. I should’ve known that something would come up…something always does!! It’s so frustrating! It’s hard to get ahead. We usually break even or come out behind…sigh.

After Home Depot, I drove home and made supper. Then I did more laundry (pretty exciting life I lead eh??!!) When I let out the dogs I saw one of those huge spiders with the big, fat bodies climbing up the door frame – on the outside – thank Goodness!! It was huge!!! Yuck! I’m tired of bugs. I’m tired period. I think I’m going to keep this short and sweet tonight and go to bed at a normal time for once!! Sorry for being so negative about things. I just don’t want to have a huge expense come up before our trip – because I really want to go. If too much costs come up, we won’t be able to afford it and then I’d be heartbroken…

Night All! 💤😴

I currently have the heebie jeebies!!! I’m worrying about bugs…carpet beetles actually. We think that’s what they’re called. We’ve been finding these tiny black beetles in my daughter’s room. We cleaned the crap out of it. And today we bagged up all of the clothes – to be washed in hot water. We just found a couple more on a towel that my son was using a while ago. He was sitting on it to have a snack. We haven’t found many in my room. My hubby found one, but that was after stuff from my daughter’s bed sat on ours. Stuff we thought was clear of them…I don’t really know what to do to get them all and I’m afraid of the cost to have someone come in to take care of them. Now every little black fluff I see freaks me out!! I’m sitting up in my bed, after thoroughly wiping it off before getting in, feeling super paranoid. My daughter is sleeping in my bed and my hubby is going to sleep on the couch. She’s too freaked out to sleep in her bed. She found four on top of it this morning, after she got back from the sleep-over she was at last night.

Most of my day was spent trying to clean up her room. We bagged all of the stuffies. We got all her clothes in garbage bags down in the laundry room to be washed. We’ve already once pulled her bed out and cleaned under it and pulled off the mattress and cleaned all around it, etc. I don’t know how to kill these things!! I wonder if those sticky spider traps would work for these guys??!! I think that they’re pet safe. Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! I’m grossed out! I’m worrying about if they’re in my son’s room , which is such a mess that you can barely go in there. I need to get my friends with their rubber gloves and vacuums and cleaning supplies to come over and help me do an overhaul

Of the upstairs!! Desperately. I should group text them and beg them for the favour. I’m pretty sure they’d come help me!! Guess I’m sending a group text out tomorrow!!

Not much more to say today. After cleaning her room, we went to my mom and dad’s for supper. When we first got there we played the card game Anomia. My dad took my son for a walk through the trees while my mom, the girls and I played Anomia. The reading in the game gets a little difficult for my son. After that, we played a couple rounds of five crowns. For supper we had BBQ’d burgers and potatoes. They were really good. Definitely hit the spot!!! After supper we had coffee, while visiting. Then we had to go home, because my oldest works tomorrow at 4am. So, she needed to go home and get to bed!! My hubby was home from BC when we got back from my parent’s house. We talked briefly about his weekend, then I got my son ready for bed and my younger daughter slept in my hubby’s spot in our bed. They’re both (my son and my daughter) sleeping beside me right now!! I am super tired right now. I’m going to join my kids and head for bed now. Night All! 💤😴

Oh how I missed you iPad!! My middle daughter kept “borrowing” my iPad, to the point that I haven’t actually used it in months!! I didn’t realize how much I missed writing my posts on it until I picked it up right now!  I’ve been using my phone. Which does work. I just prefer the iPad. Now that she has her new phone I noticed that she wasn’t using my iPad nearly as much as she had been. So, since it is mine after all, I went into her room (she’s sleeping over at a friend’s) and got it. I love it! 

Guess what I remembered to do or rather not to do?? I didn’t take my pills tonight! It’s getting late, not 2:00in the morning late, but midnight late. Usually I would have taken my pills when I was getting ready for bed. However, I decided that I should try to start taking them after I write my post, instead of before. It just makes sense really… I mean why take a sleeping pill if you don’t want to fall asleep yet?! I mean we all know how much I hate falling asleep while writing. I prefer to finish with time to mess around on Facebook or something before I go to sleep. Last night I looked up a couple hotels that are recommended in the new book about Jamaica that I bought. I love being able to do something like that before bed. I hate waking up with my phone (or the iPad) in my hands, sitting up with most of my post deleted having to start all over again! So, hopefully taking my pills after writing will help. 

My younger daughter got her hair done today. She got a ballyiage (okay, so that’s definitely not how you spell it!! It’s just what it sounds like!!) it’s where you lighten the bottom 2/3’rds of your hair…sort of. It’s hard to describe. It’s not dyed in a solid line though, it gets lighter gradually. It doesn’t look like it grew out and part isn’t dyed. It looks more natural. It actually looks really nice. She loves it! She is very very happy! She has wanted to dye her hair like this for some time. For her birthday she asked for money so that she could afford to get it done. And that’s what she’s done!! She was super excited and nervous this morning. But she is really happy with it. I will add a photo!! My photos of her hair are actually on my phone…hmmmm. I wonder if I can figure out hat air drop thingy. I’m going to try!! Hey!! I think I did it!! Here’s what it looks like from the back!!

There’s all that pretty light colour mixed in with her darker colour. It looks really pretty!! She sure has some long hair!!

After her hair appointment, we came home briefly, then we dropped her off at her friend’s house and went grocery shopping. We made a meal plan for the next couple of weeks and bought most of what we’ll need. I find when I plan ahead I eat better and we end up spending less money. If I’m deciding day to day what to eat, we end up spending much more money! When I have a plan I do still sometimes have to pick up some things, like fresh ingredients, but for the most part, we spend less. We went to No Frills, Sobeys and Shoppers. Then I was exhausted!! 

We came home and had supper, then my oldest had to go to bed, because she works at 4am. My hubby is still camping for a work wedding (he went to BC. They left Thursday early in the morning and stayed at my mom and dad’s BC house. Then they went to the campground on Friday and stayed there Friday and tonight. They’re driving home tomorrow.) and my middle daughter is at a friend’s, so it was just my son and I. We played for a bit. Then he played his Zelda game, while I looked at more places in Jamaica. Then we came up to bed and here I am. I think that I am going to go to bed now. Night all😴💤‼

I’m going to bed. I’ve started about five different posts! This is going to have to wait because I’m just beat! Soooo tired right now…huh, this is all I can find from last night’s post!! It was a long one too!! Did I delete it by accident?? I must have! That’s just how tired I was!! I’m so darn tired of falling asleep when I’m writing!! I can’t believe I deleted last night’s and ended up with two sentences – that I’m pretty sure I didn’t even publish!! I think I need to change my night-time routine and take my bed-time meds after I finish writing!!! Duh right!! It’s not like that is really rocket science, just habits. I brush my teeth, wash my face, take my meds, then get into bed. It’s just the order I do things in. It’s just my routine. I have to try to remember tomorrow night to not take my pills when getting ready for bed. I’m afraid of forgetting and just falling into my routine, I have to try to remember though!! So, that’s what my solution to falling asleep while writing will be. Hopefully it helps! Because I can’t function well off of little sleep, going to bed around 2-2:30am and getting up at 7:00am will just exhaust me!! Yesterday I ended up falling asleep on the couch in the morning for a couple of hours, because I just can’t function on 5 hours sleep!!

Yesterday, while my daughter was dancing, I had time to kill. Once I dropped her off, I went to the Bonnie Doon bookstore to see if they had any different Jamaica books. They didn’t have any, but found some for me at the Strathcona bookstore. Which wasn’t much farther. So I went there. They had three in addition to the one I already have. I checked them out and bought a couple more. One pocket guide, with a decent pull out map. The other a fairly decent size book, recently published so it has very up to date info in it, which appeals to me!! So, I have a lot of reading material in Jamaica. I have 5 months to go through them. Today’s the first day I didn’t check out any places to stay when we’re there!! It’s the first day since we booked the tickets. I think I’m feeling a little frustrated, not being able to book right away. I worry that the ones I like are going to be gone. Like the beautiful Palmaya Resort room.

Here’s a couple photos:

Nice right!! The room looks nice too!! I really love the look of that room. It was still there yesterday. Who knows if it’s going to be there in a month though?! That’s when my hubby wants to book!! Argh! It’s making me crazy!! I can only pray that it’s still available in October. It is a bit more removed from the hip strip than some of the others I was looking at. I don’t know if that’s a deal breaker for my hubby or not. But, oh! The beach (semi-private, it’s only for people staying at the resort!!) and that pool!! To die for!! My hubby said, “you’re saying you will be willing to pay $150 more, just for a beach?!” I said, ” yes!! Yes that’s exactly what I’m saying!!” We’ll see…fingers crossed or prayers for me that it’s still available in one months time. I found two other listings for the Palmaya, but one wanted $1,550 the other $2,000!! So, the one I found for $1,158 is a great deal with terrific reviews!! That’s only $165/night!! That’s with all your taxes and fees included. I think for the beautiful suite with the rain shower and soaker tub, modern design and decorating and the veranda with sea view, and the beach and pool, it’s definitely worth it!! Whether or not I can convince the hubby is another question. Probably not!! I guess we’ll see. It may not even be available by the time we go to book something!!

Well, I’ve sure been rambling on and on. I haven’t spoken about today, but there’s not much to tell. It was a very lazy, relaxing day. I barely did a thing!! I ran out a few times, but that’s about it!! Definitely a bla day…

Look at me! I’m ready to head to bed and I’m still awake!! It’s a miracle!!

Night All! 💤😴

The past few nights I’ve fallen asleep while writing my posts. It’s so frustrating when that happens!! I’m going to try not to do so tonight!! I think I lose whatever quality I may have in my writing when that happens. It that I’m some high quality fancy-schmancy writer, it’s just that I try to at least think before I write. When I wake up at 2:00am sitting up, holding my phone with half of what I’ve written deleted, well I’m frustrated and angry with myself and I’m still tired. So I attempt to get back on my train of thought and continue, but I’m tired and just want to sleep, so I try to write fast. It ends up disjointed and disconnected to the first half of the post and I’m usually so damn tired that I don’t remember what I wrote the next day!! Frustrating, frustrating, frustrating!!!! My hubby will be poking me and saying, “Jenn, you fell asleep again, just go to bed. You’re tired.” I’m always like, “no no, I’m fine. I have to finish.” And then a few minutes later we have the same conversation again. I really need to figure out a way to do this earlier or a way to not be so tired. Hmmm….

Today I checked some more listings, what else is new!? I’m worried about waiting until October to book. I’m afraid that my favourites will be gone and that there will be poor selection by them. The one site already has a pop up alert that there’s only 10% of the rentals left available for my dates!!! Oh dear. This trip planning is stressful stuff!!

My hubby is

I was in slow motion getting ready this morning. My son and I both were. Probably because I fell asleep in an awkward position while writing and it was late when I did get done finally!! So I didn’t actually go to bed for real until quite late. That makes 7:15come quickly!! I’m still getting used to the whole waking up early in the am., well, early for me!! When we finally got up and got moving I drove my son to school and came home and proceeded to fall asleep while drinking my coffee!!!!

I watched HGTV while fiddling on my phone. My daughter came home at 12:30. She wanted chicken soup, so I took two chicken carcasses out of the freezer and boiled the crap out of them and made some homemade soup.

It wasn’t a quick process, but it was sure good!! After school I picked up the kids, popped into Sobeys then headed home. I took the bones out of the soup, chopped up veggies added them, plus some lentils and beans and rice and spices. I just finished right when I had to leave and drive my younger daughter to dance. While she danced, I hung out at my parent’s house and visited. Mom and I looked on all of the sites at rentals for Jamaica. We have very similar taste with regards to the studio apartments, condos, etc. After we did that for a while, it was time to get my daughter and head home. Once home, we got ready for bed and here we are!!! Long day!!! Turns out, I did fall asleep!!! Damn damn damn!!!! Now it’s late!! Night All! 💤😴

I was a little less of an obsessed maniac today, when looking at the sites for staying in Jamaica. I still continued my searched and went back through ones that I love. There’s still a few on flipkey that I haven’t looked at. We really need to make some decisions about where we want to stay. We need to make a list of things we absolutely need, things we definitely want and things that would be okay, but aren’t deal breakers, we also need to have the other side of things, what we do not want. So, do we want to be in the middle of the action, right by the Busy hip-strip and Drs cave beach or would we rather be secluded in a quiet neighbourhood?? Do we want an on site store, restaurant and/or bar or would we rather not have the business that would accompany it. Do we want a bed & breakfast type place, where you usually get a room and bathroom, but have shared common areas or do we want our own space studio/apartment/condo?? Do we need a beach attached to where we’re staying or just close?? Do we need a beach/ocean view?? Does it have to have a veranda? One of my musts that my hubby doesn’t get is a pool. How can I stay in a hot, tropical paradise without a pool??? He says you have the ocean, why do you need a pool?? But if, in the evening, you want to go out and take a quick dip. Or lounge by the pool with a book. – yup, definitely need a pool. We also definitely need wifi. I need to write my thing every night. It’s also useful for planning your day and if you have to reserve stuff. If we write out our yeses and no’s and needs and wants, it will definitely help us narrow things down and get closer to figuring out what we want.

I actually did do a few other things today, that weren’t all Jamaica focused. I watched so you think you can dance with my oldest. I don’t agree with the way that America has voted, but I can’t change it!! It’s down to the final four and two of my favourites are gone!! We also watched a few home shows and talked. After school we only had one kiddo to pick up. My daughter went out with friends. My son and I made paper airplanes and had contests together. Then we had supper. My daughter has a evening dance class today n Tuesdays. My hubby took her, while I played with my son. My oldest went to bed early for work. Then we came up and here we are…Night All! 💤😴
