I have a few hours left before we go. I really, really hate packing - makes me cranky and makes me run late - which i never do otherwise. This makes our trips generally start not so "vacation-y"; more like "pissed off mommy."
This trip is part work (dress clothes, computer, work stuff) and part family vacation (hiking, sightseeing, museums, outdoors). It's in the 90's here - but 40's and 50's where we're going (wool and fleece being dug out), and also we need first aid kits, adaptors, outdoor gear... and we're flying - so it all has to fit in one bag each ( i got special dispensation to have two - small ones tho). [yes - mouse - no baby to pack for - so that part is easier for sure]
It's a family vacation - and i am very much looking forward to this chance - for what we will get to do and see and for the time as a family. But i still don't do the shifts from family and mom and work and travel and go go go...to submissive and slave. At least not altogether gracefully.
And maybe it's not meant to be a shifting - maybe it's meant to be all beautifully integrated - and, I really ain't got that.
I think you may have it down a lot better than you think you do. Try not to stress about it and it should fall into place. If you run into some bumps along the way, I am sure you will get some help getting to flatter ground.
ReplyDeleteAs it turns out, it did go much more smoothly than i had imagined it would. thank you.
DeleteFor me the packing and the leaving is always stressful, but once we're out the door...it's great! Have a wonderful trip. Sara
ReplyDeleteit was great - thank you.
DeleteOh, greengirl, packing is definitely not fun! And somehow whenever Joy and I go away together, we always start out with frayed tempers, likely exactly because of this fact. Hope you and your family have a lovely trip!
ReplyDeletei had thought that him pushing and prodding at me to be ready would make matters worse - in fact - it helped - who would have thought?
DeleteHave a wonderful trip!!
