Your Beach Pictures are Breaking My Heart

I'm sitting here in the studio, but half my family is at the beach. I am not at the beach. Excuse me while I go cry in the bathroom.

My super-awesome Mom rented a beach house in Cape SanBlas, Florida for the week. She's there right now with my grandmother, my aunt, my cousins, my nephews, and my niece. I had planned on taking a week off to vacation with the fam but this is the real world, and life happens. I'll spare you the sob story, but the end result is this: NO BEACH FOR ME.

Every time I check my newsfeed, I see awesome pics like the one above. It's killing me. I am sooooooo jealous. It doesn't help that a solid 55% of all my other friends are vacationing and posting pictures of themselves tanning on the beach with a margarita in hand while I'm over here like, "Man, I sure am glad I got .5 hours of sleep last night because my baby's teething!"

That was sarcasm, by the way. I'm not mad at all you vacationers--live it UP, y'all--I'm just bummed that I'm not beaching it up this week.... or, like, EVER. The only saltwater I get is my tears... oh, and the saline spray I use for Dolly's stuffy nose.

I am living the life.
