Because it's hard as a freelancer to balance the work load and also it's hard to say no to the money/contact, etc. Instead of packing it all in, I would maybe think about the focus of the articles that you're most interested in. There's plenty of work out there if you're good. But part of being good is being on time. So do yourself a favor and just finish this one already. In the end, it never takes as long as the block does. [ Reply | More

New Plaza is nice and may have some cabanas/lockers still available. Go to www.newplazabeachclub.com. It's not fancy at all, but the beach is great, and you'll have a place to leave all of your stuff. There's a restaurant that serves lunch and dinner (sometimes they do special dinners). The food is okay, but the service is ridiculously slow. I pack lunches for the whole family, and use the restaurant to purchase drinks, snacks, and ice-cream. The club is very quiet during the week because it does not have a camp. Catalina has a camp, so it's pretty busy all week long. I did hear that Catalina does not have any cabanas left. You can also try Westbury, Sunny Atlantic, Clearwater. There all pretty much the same and located along the same strip of beach. [ Reply | More

[ - ] ugh! I'm so OVER my dh's sickness. it's been almost 2 weeks, he's milked it to it's full potential, during which time I caught it and got over it. He's gotten out of family obligations: yesterday I went to his grandparents w/dd and today I went to my family w/dd without him again. When we get home, she melts down, he does not get off couch while I feed/change/get her to bed; then he's like, 'how is she?'. Is it wrong for me to be so mad? Like, buck up already!

np. If he so rarely gets sick your OP seems out of line. Your frustration level sounds like someone who deals with this all the time. If he really has the flu it's not surprising for him to be out of commission for 2 weeks. And antibiotics don't do jack for either the flu or a cold. [ Reply | More
