LIfe after Vacation

Why is it that after a vacation you need another vacation to get over the vacation??? I know it sounds crazy but it's so true. I spent a week at the lake and had a blast and relaxed but now I am stuffy and I think I have a sinus infection. ARG!! I just don't get it. I thought vacations were to recharge not decharge. Any thoughts out there?????? Carleigh spent a few days with the grandparents and of course she had a blast! She is very blessed to have such great grandparents. We spent the week together at the lake and I had so much fun showing Carleigh some things from my childhood, like Queen Anne's Lace turning colors, friendship bracelets and gemp key chains. It was fun but I swear it was not easy. How did we make so many friendship bracelets when we were kids. Go figure we had more time on our hands. Well, that's my rant for now.

My First Attempt

Not really sure why I decided to do this, but here I go. This is my 1st post on this new blog and I hope to add stuff that is of value and just not be rambling on. I am currently working as a Child Development Specialist with a non profit in Birmingham. I get to go around to child care centers and help them improve their classrooms. It's sound all great and fun, but at times it can be very frustrating. Sometimes these directors think that want change but when you go in and start making suggestions they get all huffy. I work with a great group of people though. Chuck has started back to work after being out of work for a year and he loves his new job. He is working with a Korean company in the area and comes home with crazy stories everyday. It's very entertaining. Speaking of entertaining let's chat about the girls!! Chloe is at Alabama and loves her freedom and is ready for the summer to be over so she's back in T-Town and Carleigh, well she's Carleigh. The Drama Queen!!! She went to summer camp for the 1st time this year and LOVED it. She is ready to go back. I don't know why I was surprised, I loved camp, too. She is going to the YMCA this summer while we work. Now, that's been the hard part. I really wish I could be home during the summers! Guess I will have to work on that. Well, that's it for now as crazy things happen with this crazy Allen Gang I will post more. Until then.......Be Sweet!
