Awesome/Not Awesome

I have been at death's door the past 2 days.  Okay, okay, not really.  But it sure felt like it!!  I got some kind of flu bug and it totally whipped me.

I'm feeling better today, so I'm attempting a post. But don't have high expectations. ;-)

AWESOME: Taking a family vacation.

NOT AWESOME: Taking a family vacation and then the kids acting like spoiled rotten entitled royalty.

AWESOME: Losing weight.

NOT AWESOME: Losing weight because you've been throwing up and having diarrhea for 24 hours.

AWESOME: Disneyland.

NOT AWESOME: Wearing Disney characters on your clothing, especially if you're over the age of 4.  And most definitely if you're over 20 you should never, ever wear clothes with Disney characters on them.  Amen.

AWESOME: Having a husband who can come home and pick up the pieces when you've been sicker than a dog.

NOT AWESOME: Subjecting your husband to what you look/smell like after being sick for 24 hours.

AWESOME: Cuddling with kids.

NOT AWESOME: Being puked on while cuddling with kids.

AWESOME: Sunny weather.

NOT AWESOME: More rainy days than sunny days.  Also, sunburns.  Not awesome.

AWESOME: Finding seashells on the beach and playing in the waves on family vacation.

NOT AWESOME: Finding a dead baby dolphin (?) on the beach.  Even Not Awesomer: Find a half eaten dead baby dolphin (?) on the beach.

AWESOME: S'mores.

NOT AWESOME: Children terrified of bonfire on the beach. 

AWESOME: Flying a kite at the beach.

NOT AWESOME: Being pelted with sand and slowly freezing to death from the wind on the beach.

AWESOME: Getting notes from your 6 year old:
(In case you don't read kindergartenese, it says:

I love you Dad and Mom.  You are the bestest parents. I love you.)

NOT AWESOME: There's nothing not awesome about it.  It's just plain awesome. =)
