My Holiday

I have just come back from holidays today, we went to Hervey Bay and Fraser Island and it was lovely, apart from a few dramas.

Day 1 - The GPS decides to lead us astray and told us to turn into a dirt track road, Jason insisted we should follow it despite my saying otherwise, and we got stuck in mud, we ended up being splattered with mud and arrived very late at our accommodation in Hervey Bay looking tired and filthy. It was a very nice apartment block and the receptionist looked at us with absolute disgust!!!

Day 2 - Zac complains of ear ache, I give him some nurofen and ignore him. During the night he wakes up and vomits all over the lovely cream carpet in his room!!!!

Day 3 - Holly bashed her toe badly getting out of the pool and actually tore her whole nail off her big toe - yuck, off to the doctors to get it glued and bandaged up, and also some antibiotics, so no swimming for her until it heals.

Day 4 - Zac still complaining of ear ache, so back to doctors, and he has bad ear infection and actually has perforated ear drum, he honestly did not complain about it much, I guess the nurofen masked the pain, anyway he is on antibiotics for ten days and cant swim either. The problem with this is that he already has hearing loss in his right ear after having menningitis as a toddler, and this is his left good ear, so now there is big possibility he will have hearing loss in this ear. Anyway back to our own doctors tomorrow to get it checked out again.

Day 5 - I got gastro (no I am not kidding).

Day 6 - Off to Fraser Island, all of us apart from Jason feeling very under the weather, but cheered up as it is the most beautiful place I have ever been and I will definitely go back there again.

Day 7 - Nice realaxing day, went for big walk and saw some dolphins but kids moaning because they could not swim and were bored.

Day 8 - Drove home today (without the help of the GPS). House disgusting as Shane did not come on hols with us and obviously had a very good time with his friends (judging by the amount of alcohol cans and bottles in the bin), and all the beds messed up and obviously slept (or not) in!!!!

I am really mad and after relaxing a bit on hols I am stressed out the filth of the house house now and Shane is nowhere to be seen and not answering his phone.

And just checked my emails and it seems my sister in law is arriving to stay with us on 8th Feb!!!!! it would have been nice to get a phone call to ask us first, but never mind, as least the kids will be back at school.

Mel :wacko:

Anywhere on your own would be nice I would think. If you ever fancy a solo trip over to WA then let me know.

Hope everyone is better now. What has eldest had to say for himself now? You must've got hold of him by now surely?

He honestly could not care less about anything we say to him :angry:

I have just had a very wicked thought - maybe I will make a trip to WA while sister in law is staying here :whistle:

Mel, I'm so glad you had a relaxing time, pity about the kids being sick. Have you been back to the doc with Zac yet? My kids get ear infections all the time with water getting stuck in their ears, the pain must be awful.

Get yourself a No Vacancies sign to put in the window for when SIL arrives, if she asks why you couldn't call and tell her just say same reason as she couldn't pick the phone up and ask then give her a list of local accommodation she can book.

Then bugger off over here for a break!!

Zac's ear is much better now, he complained today that his new teacher shouts all the time and while I know thats not good, I was just happy that he can obviously hear her well enought to realise that she is shouting :wink:

A trip to WA is very very tempting :thumbsup:

You could always say you'd arranged the trip to Perth before she informed you of her imminent arrival, and it's a shame she didn't ASK sooner about coming ;)
