the princess of puke!

Today I was all excited to go snorkeling with my six year old son along with my visiting sister her husband and my two nieces. It didn't even occur to me that this idea might be the end of me because to be honest with you I couldn't have imagined that the ocean I love so much would put me in such saucy straights.

So we climbed aboard the S.S. Sickness and headed out to a reef in Pompano to go snorkeling. Cameron was excited to see sharks and I was as happy as a mom should be. That's until the waves began to pitch the boat back and forth like a porch swing gone postal. At first I didn't notice but after a few minutes I began to get totally nauseous. I jumped off the boat into the water and felt better for a while. Then we had to get back on the boat to go to a new spot and I thought I was going to throw up in front of a bunch of strangers. As soon as the boat stopped I tried jumping back in the water, but it was to late and I puked in the ocean. I was so glad when that boat ride was over.

I learned a valuable lesson today. I am not the little mermaid.
