• “I’LL TRY TO BE NICER, IF YOU’LL TRY TO BE SMARTER.”

  
  

  Ok, I know, I know … the idea of a blog is to type regularly…. but I am not your normal blogger!!! Muahhhaaahhha…..

  
  

  Ok ~ so here’s what’s happened. We did finally make it to the Blow hole and snorkeling at Honolu Bay. Both were awesome and the girls had a great time. Then we went to Hana — on the South road which is 23 miles paved, 8 miles rough paved and 8 miles of  …. Hope you don’t need to pee….. dirt road. Unfortunately, the pools were flooded due to rain in the mountains that night soo… no cliff jumping for the girls. Instead we hiked 5 miles round trip to see a 400 foot waterfall. We also hiked through a bamboo forest. Very cool.

  
  

  Bad part was….

  
  

  Silver_fangz was hiking in slippahs….not very conducive to hiking through mud.

  
  

  Mosquitoes — lord above!! Next time a bring a commercial sprayer with me — either that or I am wrapping myself head to toe in mosquito netting.

  
  

  Humid…. hot, sticky, muggy YECK!!!

  
  

  The really bad part was on the way home the Jeep broke down <tear>. Had to have it towed. So sad. And hubby wasn’t home to fix it. Didn’t get back till Thursday, so we were stuck in the silver BMW, the one with NO A/C!!!! Double YECK!!

  
  

  So anywho…. on Monday Silver_fangz went camping with friends. Anita, Squirt and I went to the top of Haleakala to watch the sunset and stars. Course Squirt forgot her jacket, so I ended up giving her mine and freezing to death. Sometimes being a mother sucks. You give up shoes (Silver_fangz ended up in my shoes while hiking and I in her slippahs), jackets, food and drinks. Next time… no way they freeze or hobble but it’s their problem!

  
  

  The stars were amazing.. it was like being inside a planetarium. Very cool.

  
  

  Thursday finally got here and Squirt broke her foot about an hour after her dad got home… spent 41/2 hours in ER. Boy was he happy to be home for that!!!

  
  

  Finally got my jeep fixed today. The service center was closed during the weekend……. welcome to the island! I mean honestly… Who has time to work on their car  on Mondays – Friday 9:00 5:00???  Guess where everybody is then?? AT WORK!!!!!!  Jeesh….. brilliant minds at work here. There are a few things I miss about the mainland:  Target, being able to visit friends and family, and having options on everything else!!! Ahh well….it’s a high price, but somebody has to pay it. Guess I’ll pony up…..

  
  

  Ok I’ve bored even myself by now so I’m off to find some dinner. Beside Silver_fangz is going freakin’ nuts wanting the computer!
