Busy Momma

I do believe there are roaches in this motel.  I’m afraid to go to sleep.  I’m trying to get drunk so I will pass out and this will ruin
my families time tomorrow, but there are roaches in the bathroom.  EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I’m in Washington state and we don’t have roaches, so don’t even give me attitude about it’s normal.  It’s not!  I’m in a cheap hotel and
we will never stay here again.  Believe me, I will be booking it from now on.  I will map it out every other weekend if needed, but
I will not sleep in a roach motel.  My foot is on the floor and I keep waiting to feel something.  I go to the bathroom and kill 2 little
roaches each time.

Why do I only have beer?  I need some Patron baby, knock my ass out.  The family is finally asleep, I have no internet and I have god
damned roaches in the bathroom!  Which no one will even know about unless I tell them.  lol And you wonder why Mom’s don’t sleep?

I’m writing this post from Westport, but can’t post it until Sunday.  GASP, no WIFI!

We are staying in hotel hell, so please look for our story in the next horror movie.  lol  But we are only in the room to sleep
so $50 is $50.  We haven’t found a room for this cheap for many years.  But alas we ran out of hot water after the kids took a shower
so guess it’s worth it to spend a little more.  Hubby is about ready to crash from all the fresh air we have gotten and he hasn’t
gotten a shower yet.  :(  I can stay up for hours (it’s only 9:44) and the hot water will be back I’m sure.  Not sure if he will make it
to a shower.  lol  The room is totally ghetto and smells of smoke, but it would be perfect if they’d just get some new beds and new
comforters.  It smells like my Great-grandma’s house used to.  bahahaha

We’ve totally decided we have to live closer to the ocean.  Like maybe move to Olympia so it’s only an hour away.  My best friend would
be happy about that.  No matter why they come to the ocean so much.  An hour drive is nothing.  Someday down the road we want to own
property at least here to put a camper on.  Of course we’d love to have a vacation house because then we could also rent it out.  lol  But
we’d settle for anything.

Yep, hubby just fell asleep with no shower.  I’m afraid to take a shower and run out of water before I get all the soap and shampoo off.
I think I’ll wait another hour and then take a shower.  I want to get as much of the smoke smell out of here as possible and then I’m still
sleeping with the window open.  Not safe I know, but I really don’t want to have an allergy attach in the middle of the night.

K, no hope of shower tonight.  HOLY CRAP, there are bugs in the bathroom.  I’ve killed three of them already.  Like I couldn’t figure out that there would be bugs in this hotel.  LMAO  I’m sure they will want to stay here again because it’s cheap.  So next time we stay I will be doing shots so I go to sleep before everyone else!

I’ll let you know how the sleep is tomorrow.  But hubby already told the kids they’d be going out to get coffee’s and probably breakfast
so I could sleep.  Does he love me or what?!!  Be jealous!

We have wanted to hit this oyster feed for the last few years. Finally we hit it by accident. lol This was the only weekend we were
available to runaway to the ocean and low and behold, it’s oyster feed weekend! WOOHOO, all you can eat oysters!

Not only is it all you can eat, but the $14 price went to the clean water fund. Sweet, tax deduction for food!

I have to admit that I felt slightly out of place because so many regulars were there. But they were very friendly, I think I was just
expecting a little more mingling to happen. With the way the property goes the tables have some room between them. But like I said
we didn’t feel uncomfortable, it was just our first time here and it’s always weird the first time you go somewhere.

My first trip through I got the oyster stew and plenty of steamed oysters. Plus some BBQ’d oysters. Cocktail sauce and I was
good to go. One trip through down.

So then we went inside to buy my daughters sweat pants she’s been waiting a year to buy. Last year she didn’t have her money when
we came through town and she didn’t know how much money she had at home. Unfortunately, they were double the price! WTF, not buying
them now. She and I chatted and decided we should hit them tomorrow when we buy our seafood on the way out of town. They may have
the prices jacked for the feed. I have a feeling they don’t, but it’s possible. Plus, it’s just so damm cool that we can connect like
that. LMAO

The kids were free since they are under 12 and that was awesome. But they don’t like oysters anymore, they used to, so it was only
clam chowder for them. But alas, they have hot dogs for $1. We bought little one a hot dog and he ate 2 bowls of chowder. That’s a lot
of food! oldest ate 2 bowls of chowder and some rolls as well.

My second trip was all about the clam chowder and cole slaw. It was so yummy. I’d actually love some more right now. I think I will
buy some clams and make some next week.

The cool thing is you are allowed to bring your own drinks. Including beer. So we filled hubby’s big short pockets and he had a few.
I wanted one, but thankfully I didn’t have one. I was so full from the food that would have really set me over the edge. lol

Next year they have moved it to the second weekend in Sept. I like it in Sept. We will make it a new tradition for hubby’s bday.
I’m actually smelling a trip to the ocean with just a bunch of friends for his bday/oyster feed instead. Can you just picture the fun?
There are so many condo’s out here to rent. It would be awesome to grab a house or big condo with a few other couples. I’m already
to plan it.

So join us the second week in Sept. for the Brady’s Oyster feed in 08!

Well I am literally on the road to the ocean.  I did have internet service for a few seconds when we stopped for a bathroom break.
The comfort in was across the street.  lol  But I’m just typing up drafts and then I’ll post them later.  Hopefully tonight, but I
know there is internet access at Brady’s (www.bradysoysters.com) so I can log on from there.  Course I’ll get a major bad look for
doing that.  So I think I’ll stick to waiting for a hotel tonight.  Man, what am I going to do if we can’t get a hotel with wifi?

I’m doing well so far.  If I was reading a book, I’d be getting quesy by now.  I think it is the fact that I can type and look around
at the same time.  Guess we’ll find out if I get carsick from typing.

**Update, I did not get carsick and I loved that I could do some newsletters and blog posts on the road.  This is totally addicting
and I LOVE MY LAPTOP!!!
