Me? Guilty about going on vacation and leaving my family behind?
Well, maybe for about five minutes.
Then I realized that while my friend and I were cheerfully stitching scrub caps in the upstairs bedroom, my youngest child took it upon himself to "feed" his brother's new aquatic turtles, Macaroni and Cheese.
By feed, I mean dump two full bottles of turtle food (one of pellets and one of STINKY shrimp treats) into the ten gallon aquarium.
We had to empty the tank, dump the bloated food and treats, scrub and clean the tank, gravel, and filter. Then we had to go to PetCo. Because we now had NO turtle food or water conditioner.
On the plus side, it was nice to run an errand with EJ. I don't get enough one on one time with him.
Mac and Cheese are now happily basking in their lovely clean tank.
In less than 48 hours I hope to be happily basking on the beach here.

Oh my goodness...when I first read this, I thought he fed them actual Mac and Chz! Probably because A just spilled an entire box all over my kitchen floor!
Have a great time. You deserve it. And I know it'll be relaxing.

Dear Lord. I thought at first you meant he actually fed mac and cheese to the turtles. lol

I suppose this is payback for the helicopter ride? LOL! Have a wonderful time on vacation - the family (and the pets) will be OK, and you deserve to relax!
