Camping... of sorts

I am at my in-law's cabin. I sleep in the guest cabin out back... the love shack, we joke, except my hubby is in the city and I am here with two snoring children who have opted out of sleeping in their tent in exchange for curling up with mom. Okay and here I am roughin’ it... with my laptop, high-speed(ish) wireless connection on a bucolic northern gulf island (Canada).

Life is tough. I really didn't want to sleep, I wanted to have quiet and well, aside from the chirping of crickets, and my heavy breathing kids, it is pretty quiet. I can't even hear the ocean over the fan of my computer.

I love it here. Well, I love it in town too (if Vancouver can be called a town), and as quiet as my neighbourhood is, you really just can't beat the tranquility of the island--at least for little bits of time.

My two teens are in town with their dad, (that would be my husband--to avoid confusion). I'll go home Friday, and he'll come up here. He'll entertain the little ones and I'll feed and water the big ones in town. A quiet summer all around. School is happening soon enough... time to start thinking about it.

Our kids don't go back until the 8th of Sept. this year. I am so glad. It will give me a little time to get them organized, and properly shod. ( I hate shopping, but it's one of those necessary evils that I endure for my offspring).

Okay, now I am officially procrastinating... night all!
