I too have had a crummy summer, planned for over a month to spend 10 glorious days in a condo on the beach with 2 of my sisters (hoping it would bring us closer) and then when we start off I am informed that my older sister's DD and her 3 DD's under 5 were also going (with the rest of us bearing the expense) and It was hell, I wanted so bad for peace and quiet, and of course mommy had to sleep in and the kids ran wild...they destroyed at least 500.00 in my electronics by going in my room and doing what kids do, no one took the blame and I am stuck with the fallout! It was miserable, I hid from everyone, plus most of them stayed drunk (who does that leave to keep kids from killing themselves?? If I ever get another vacation it will be me, my furbaby and my laptop! I worked so hard to save for the trip and now its over and nothing left to look forward to!
