Beach tweets

Since I have been lifestreaming our trip via Twitter and Facebook, I didn't want to lose some of these comments...

  1. Beach storm!! So relaxing. Satellite knocked out. Painting toenails & listening to rain. #fb
  2. Nap update: Again poopie. This time Ade put her hands in it. Nice. PnP can't help this one. #fb
  3. What a fun morning of visiting. Now relaxing for the last afternoon here. Hoping A naps so I can get a bit more oceanside reading in. #fb
  4. @burckart Made the tortilla soup for dinner last night and it was YUM! Thanks for the recipe!
  5. Waves are much bigger today. Hurricane effect I guess. Ade attacked 2 dogs w/ kisses on beach already this morning.#fb
  6. Last day at the beach! :-( Getting a visit from our friends Amy and Bill later this morning, and then the repacking fun begins.
  7. @sethpackham Yea, she has always been an early sleeper. Be thankful you've got good sleepers from the sounds of it. Jealous.
  8. @kayayarai The "organized" mom on Wife Swap gave that guidance. I think it is open to interpretation. :-)
  9. Been trying to put Ade to sleep since 7:30. Chinese water torture. She will NOT stop moving! #fb
  10. Questions to ask to keep out clutter: "Do you need it? Do you love it? Does it make you money?" No to all 3 means toss it. Adore this.
  11. How am I spending my relaxation time? First, reading Loving Frank by ocean breeze. Then, Wife Swap in the AC (family lives like pirates!)
  12. PnP seems to have worked the magic today. Oh yea, and me singing Mulan "Reflections" 300 times. Peaceful sleep is like a salve. #fb
  13. Attempting PnP for nap, and there has been quiet singing, but no sleeping. And now, there is shouting about a poopie in the diapie. Hmm.
  14. Vacation is lot of hardwork, but lots of rewards in payoff. High ROI. :-) #fb
  15. Good start to the day so far - I'm awake before Ade and a great sunrise!
  16. @sethpackham What a mean thing to say! No naps?!?! :-) She def. needs one. She is a miserable beasty if she doesn't sleep.
  17. @susanpeich Was Dana miserable crank when she didn't sleep? Ade is off the hook when she doesn't nap.
  18. @kristameyer She asked if you had another present for her when we said dogs were at your house. :-)
  19. Need to even out. Front-half cappuccino, back-half steamed milk. #fb
  20. Non-cooperating toddler @nap: Leave in room to play (no sleep) or keep laying back down til she cries and sleeps? Other options/tricks? #fb
  21. Ade to Ry as he tries to get her to nap after my fail: "Get outta my grill!" #fb
  22. Pre battery last long when you play Dora and lemur YouTube videos for entire car rides. :-) Lunch = Capt'n Frank's hot dogs. Yumyum.
  23. Anyone know closest Starbucks to Kitty Hawk? #fb
  24. Ade says the aquarium absoltely will not have otters. I beg to differ. #fb
  25. Ate Chunky Monkey pancakes at Stack Em Up, and now headed to the aquarium in Manteo. Woke up at 4:30am in anxiety over work! Shake it off...
  26. Spent the morning w/ beach to ourselves near Rodanthe and saw Bodie lighthouse. Throw in outlet shopping and Kill Devil Diner. Fun ! #fb
  27. @kristameyer My wet/dry long handle vac is used daily on the hardwoods. Tumbleweeds endless esp in summer.
  28. I sometimes accidentally answer a call on my Pre when I am trying to ignore it. Like when it rings while Ade is napping, for example.
  29. It's really too sad when someone who has so much to enjoy right in front of him can only see the world in negative. Shame. #fb
  30. No more work. Only beach, sand and margaritas. Well, maybe I might just log on for an hour or so later this week... No! Bad! Ocean waves...
  31. Amazed people who know you left on vacation Friday send a "followup" to an issue they raised Thursday, as if you're late in resolving.
  32. Night 2 of 6 on vacation spent working. Not really so much fun. After tonight, though, I am not logging on again, dammit.
  33. @kristameyer Ha! My girls have anything to do with that???
  34. Went to a kite store where A fell in love w/ a stuffed lemur. Then stuffed our faces w/ crab at Captain George's in record time. Mmm! #fb
  35. When Ade was a baby, my job was far more constant & knowable: to comfort and love at costs. Parenting a toddler is bewildering.
  36. After a truly epic struggle Ade is napping and I am sunbasking looking to recharge the mommy engine. Phew!
  37. All fingers crossed that Ade naps today. Yesterday afternoon was a little too cranky hellish for us all...
  38. And why is Tweed not working for me here in the OBX? I feel like its 2007 using this web interface. Yuk
  39. If when ur 2yrold stands on her tiptoes you think "she has great turnout" are you taking SYTYCD too seriously? #fb
  40. Another lovely night of sleep and a gorgeous sunrise over eggs and sausage and mmmm coffee. Next up: seashell collecting walk on beach. #fb
  41. If I have to be working, at least I'm doing it at the beach. With my friend, chocolate peanut butter cheesecake, sitting next to me.
  42. 2yrold exhausted from beach play + refused to nap + she's TWO + long wait for dinner = meltdown! #fb
  43. A vacation beach cottage that has a partially stocked kitchen with ice cream, and a dish network hookup with DVR??? Heaven.
  44. Getting the new routine worked out: beach 9-10:45, rinse, lunch and next up are afternoon naps for all. #fb
  45. Ade slept all night on a big girl bed! Hooray beach! #fb
  46. Pure bliss. Ocean breeze, fresh shrimp cooking, Ade entertaining herself, and I am RELAXED! :-) #fb
  47. 1 movie, 2 toys, and lunch into the drive so far and still hours to go. #fb
  48. Happy 5year anniversary hubby! #fb
  49. Today is the day! OBX here we come! #fb
  50. Does anyone else's kids writhe and wriggle around so much at bedtime they can't fall asleep? Shud I velcro her still so she can relax? #fb
  51. Dog: (Licking puzzle) Ade: Get outta my grill! #fb
  52. Starting to feel like vacation. That tingle that makes everything feel like an indulgence.
