Day 2: Tequila,swim up bars, sun= not so good feeling

Day 2

We woke up feeling better after a 12 hour sleep and headed over to the buffet for some breakfast. I think I gained 10 lbs on this trip, the food was amazing, and I usually don't eat breakfast or lunch but there was just too much to choose from. After breakfast we had a meeting with our rep from the airlines. They inform you of things you should know info about the hotels, how much to tip, trips to take, ect. After that we decided to book a few tours. We chose the Coba Adventure and Delphinus . After we booked our tours we thought today would be a good day to just hang out at the resort and check out the pools.
Here's a shot of the pool bar, where we decided to spend the day. After a few drinks the bartender poured us tequila shots.. we met some cool people and hung out for most of the day, more tequila shots. Now I am not quite sure how much time had passed but I do remember getting out of the pool to use the washroom and the ground wouldn't stay still, which made it quite difficult to walk. It's funny how when you are submerged in cool water on a hot day drinking for hours you don't notice it. Now I'm quite sure how we made it back to our room, but we did. We woke up in our room around 5pm. Now let me tell you, I didn't feel so great then, but I thought hey! I have my hangover now. So I will be fine tomorrow for our all day adventure........ummm not so much. The hubby, who didn't do as many tequila shots as me felt fine and wanted to head off to dinner. So away we went. on our way there while walking along a jungle path everything went black. I momentarily thought it was me until I heard other people gasping, some cheering and lots of cell phones being turned on everywhere. So there we stood in complete darkness, now you can wait for your eyes to adjust and then contine walking very carefully or you can stay put until it comes back on, which I chose to do. It only lasted a few minutes then we headed off to the buffet. Now at this point in time I feel like death, so the last thing I want to do is eat, or sit in a giant room filled with hundreads of other people stuffing their faces. So I sat quietly, waiting for my husband to finish his dinner so I could go back to my room and slip into a coma until the next morning. Needless to say, there was much I was going to do that evening, so I went back to the room and passed out hoping I would feel better by 8am when our van was picking us up to go to Coba........................................


Here are a few pictures taken around the hotel



Here's me and my man on the beach

Day 1 car rides,flights,bus rides. MEXICO!!!

I'm home!! We had a wonderful time, I have so much to write so I think I will break it up into several blogs, otherwise it will be unbelievably long.

We headed off to Vancouver last Friday after spending the morning with the little ones. We hung out with the Dumbass's for awhile then the Captain drove us to the airport around 10pm. We hung out at the airport until our flight left at 1 am. We thought that we could sleep on the plane....wrong. We landed in Mexico 5 1/2 hours later. There is a 2 hour time difference so we got there around 8:45am. After making it through customs we boarded a bus to take us to our resort. After 2 hours and several cerveza's we arrived at our hotel. It was beautiful. We checked in and were told we could check into our room at 3pm, it was 10:45. We were tired but got a second wind so decided to check out the resort.
We came across this little guy right away, they and are everywhere. So after a few hours of wandering around, and several differant drinks our room was ready. One of the hotel staff loaded up our luggage onto a shuttle and headed off to our room. On the way he found a kids hat with a sheriff star on the road so he grabbed it and put it on and kept smiling and was very pround of his hat....until he read it, it said cowboy on it, then he threw it on the ground stating that it was a gayboy hat!!! Maybe he saw brokeback mountain. We settled in and then headed back to the lobby for some dinner at the buffet (awesome food). Then we jumped on another shuttle because we were bloated and beyond tired, We were fast asleep by 8pm and slept right through until 8 am.

On our way

Hey guys, we are at the airport and have about 2 hours before our flight leaves........hopefully we can sleep on the plane. We are bored!!! just wandering around before we have to sit for 6 hours, we will post again tomorrow from the hotel! Talk to you later.

HAPPY OVER COMMERCIALIZED HOLIDAY!!!!

Valentine's Day is an over commercialized holiday created by marketers to make people in relationships feel the need to spend ridiculous amounts of money on overpriced roses and chocolates. And makes the single people feel like shit! No I am not a bitter woman, I am in a healthy relationship with someone and we both don't need society to tell us when to tell each other "I love you" So I say DOWN WITH VALENTINES DAY!!!!!! I would much rather get flowers on a regular day out of nowhere where it is not prompted!!!!

Blah Blah Blah

Here's a goofy pic of my little freak!!!!

I thought I had nothing to say......I was wrong

Wow, trying to blog everyday is a chore, I mean what if nothing exciting happens? What if you don't have anything brilliant to write, then I read other blogs and think how can these people come up with all this stuff every day??? Well my brain is fried, I worked 3, 12 hour shifts this week. 7:45pm-7:45am....... I haven't stayed up all night since I was....well before I had kids, well that's a lie because when they were babies I guess there were several occasions where I had to stay up all night, where was I going with this.
Oh right, my 12 hour shifts. My first one was shitty( now if you have read my previous posts you know when I say shitty I mean it literally!!) not only that but the person I take care of had a seizure as well. So around 3am, after I had given the meds to get them out of the seizure, changed 2 diapers(not kids) I started to feel a little sick. After no sleep it was time to wake up the other person( I take care of 2 disabled adults) So while I am bathing her my stomache is doing flip flops, and I start hurling into the toilet(while still bathing the lady) I'm sure she was impressed. Sorry for the visual but you need to hear it to really feel sorry for me. I look at the clock it 7:30am, I am off in 15 minutes. My husband arrives with the kids, I have to feed them breakfast them take them to school before I head home. (more hurling) I am hoping I can make the 20 min drive........finally I arrive home and sleep all day. Had to call in and cancel my night shift, so the other girl had to work a 36 hour shift straight.
Next day (thursday) feeling much better, back to work. another seizure, more poopy diapers and no sleep....... what have I gotten myself into. Now Friday morning I am unbelievably tired, hubby drops off the kids at 7:30 again and it's time to drop the kids off at school, then my son reminds me that today is his "thing" at school. The students council(which he is in) put together a winter carnival, just like a carnival that is held every year in Quebec called "Carnival de Quebec". Anyways, my sons class was singing a french song for their opening ceremony. I had origianly told him that I was going to come and tape it.... Now after 3 days of no sleep and my stomache still not back to normal, the last freaking thing I want to do is to go sit in a gymnasium with 250 kids. I appoligize the whole way to school telling him how sorry I am but I just don't think I can make it. I look at his big blue eyes in the rearview mirror and can see his disapointment, but like the awesome kid he is he tells me that he understands. So after I drop them off to school I get home and think....suck it up woman, the boy has been practicing this song for weeks, the least I can do is show up. So I hop back in my van and head over to the school. The kids are setting up in the gym and I see my son sitting in front of the stage. The moment he sees me his whole face lights up, and he starts waving like crazy, almost brought me to tears.
Well look at that I did find something to write! I was going to post the video, but it needs editing!
