cabin trip etc

So day #2 of the cabin trip. Took the boat to the lake for the 1st time ever. we'd taken the canoe there a couple times, but had never brought the boat to GA. Sooo much fun riding around and seeing how huge the lake was and gazing up at the amazing cabins looming overhead. I guess the land around the lake is owned by the board of engineers or something like that, so they don't allow homes or docks built w/in 300 feet of the water, so all the homes are high overhead up on the mountains overlooking the lake. Gives the lake a natural look and such a peaceful feeling. feels untouched by society. so nice. only like 2 other boats out there today. went over and checked out the beach and swam for awhile. i'll hafta take a pic next time we go bc it's the weirdest beach i've ever seen. built straight up, prob'ly bc it's a dam released lake and when they let the water out, the water level is like 8-10 feet higher. really unique. water was much lower than in April when we went canoeing w/ Robert. Really hot out there, but w/ the boat moving it was really nice. we all had such a great time and Mom and i got some great snuggles in holding the boys. Mom had M and I had E. really trying to spend more quality time w/ E and give him my full attention that he really seems to be so needy of. he is so funny. love him so.
  Have been feeling like a hot mess on this trip though, so that's been a bummer. Aunt flow came on saturday after a taxing day at work. now i'm on day #3 and popping 800 mg's of ibu like 2x a day. just crazy. usually just one day is like that so i'm shaking my head. got extremely nauseous out on the lake right before we got to the beach. felt like i almost couldn't hold my head up. i was really hot too, so started drinking a huge cup of water and ate a sandwich. been really off on our meals/schedule and maybe my blood sugar just dropped out or something. was sorta bummed when AF came , bc that solidified that nope, not prego. was sorta "wishing" a tad;) but is okay. so thinking i'll go ahead and register for the 1/2 at the end of Nov and get it outta the way and then think about having that chit...but NOT until the spring. geeze. just not knowing why it's been so hard this month. wondering if it has to do w/ not hardly working out lately. gonna start in w/ my faux school schedule for the next week after i get home to get ourselves more organized and ready for starting on the 22nd. so that will have me at the gym 4 days a week. i just really need to get back. i feel so sluggish and funk and can't argue that not working out has been the key to that. unbelievable. anywho. rambling and it's an ungodly hour as my mom would say.
  Jabe and the boys got here right after 7 and the boys played nonstop til about 9 when we put on a generic Pinnochio (or Pin-och-ee-oh) movie, as i called it and Ty called it that thinking that was seriously the name. we were laughing so hard. Vin is sleeping w/ E in the closet tent upstairs and one twin is w/ Mom downstairs and the other sleeping w/ JB on the futon in the loft:) Me, J and Mom watched hilarious youtube videos for almost 2 hrs and laughed til our faces almost froze. will need some major MK lotion tomorrow to erase these hideous lines. haaa. we were watching Tim Hawkins videos and that guy is right up my alley. then this Asian and Jewish-looking guy duo. weird names..i'll hafta find out and post them later. but the asian guy plays the piano and the jewish guy plays the violin, and they are geniuses and also hilarious. like a comedy routine similar to the ole Victor Borge. great stuff. really made me long to start playing my piano again and getting to where i can sit down and just bust whatever i want out. really have missed my classical music, Rachmoninoff, Chopin, etc. wow. think i'll break some of those cd's out and dust them off and get them on my ipod. maybe my boys would get along better if i played that more often. lol. want them to have a love for that as much as i do.
  But i'm glad they're here. was sorta dreading the chaos a little just because i am feeling so crappy, but it has been so nice and the boys just LOVE each other and laugh nonstop. The twins, at 9, are still so sweet to my boys and love to play w/ them, so that is great. they are only a few inches shorter than me too, so that's been really weirding me out. in the 8 months since we saw them, they have changed dramatically. sorta makes me sad and alarmed, that i may be looking up to my own boys when they're 10 and TALLER than me! Vin has been calling me Aunt Shortney hhaaa. hopefully i can figure out how to get mom's pics on here from her camera bc we got some good ones tonight. just bein' silly. well, i'm out. my bod is sore from fatigue and girly pains. sucks being a girl sometimes. ugh. i don't have time for this mess!
