Today we came home....I left around 10:30 am and got home around 2:30 pm...uneventful. Jeff on the other hand...left by 11 am and got home around 6:30 pm!!! Here is why...
1. Jeff woke up this morning and Ranger had slept downstairs in a room (there is a heater) and somehow the door was closed so he could not get out to go to the restroom...so he went everywhere in the room...so Jeff had to clean all that up...
2. Then had our three dogs in the car with him...after leaving the beach house about 20 minutes down the road he realized that the two puppies, Finn and Darcy, had eaten chocolate covered
espresso beans (don't even ask how this happened!) Since chocolate is basically poison for dogs...he called my mom and turned around drove back through the beach and then another 30-45 minutes to Myrtle Beach to the Vet Hospital where my mom met him. Dogs had to get charcoal treatment. Now back in the car....dogs threw up 3 different times...each time Jeff had to stop and clean it up! (He had them on towels as the doctor told him this would happen...)
3. On the way home, Jeff gets pulled by three cops who had a report that a "white truck" was swerving and hit a sign and left. Needless to say, it was not Jeff but they still asked him a billion questions and checked his truck for damage to make sure. (This is hilarious to me!)
4. Jeff arrives home and Norah has a fever! This is the second time in two weeks we have gone to the beach and come home and she is sick!!! (P.S. The
Motrin is not helping...poor thing!)
So now back up a little....the trip was a little bit hectic but I guess that is to be expected with 9 adults, one kid, and 6 dogs! We had Turkey Day, then Friday I did some school work first thing in the morning...then Jeff and I took Norah to Georgetown and lunch....it rained most of Friday, then Friday night we had an oyster roast. Saturday....Jeff went fishing, I took Norah to beach briefly (it had gotten cold!), watched Toy Story 3 (most of it), football was watched and everyone kinda chilled. Jake made a huge batch of
Brunswick stew too. Sunday....well you already heard about Sunday.
Here are a few pics....

Still meat free...I did not eat any meat the whole time I was there...it was really easy....I didn't miss it at all. I do feel like I need a detox from all the stuff that I did eat though...wow...a lot of food was consumed! I got home today and had a green monster and a bowl of oatmeal then some spaghetti squash for dinner. Much better!
I also did not exercise the whole time I was there and feel like a sloth for it! My plan is to get back on track tomorrow. I feel so sorry for baby Norah being sick!! I hate when she is sick...I do not like to see her feel bad. Please let this just be a brief sickness and let her feel better tomorrow!
