I know part of it is the stress of going away for 8 days and everything that involves, and I am truely excited to be going… but at the same time I am dreading it. I hate that I have to be going alone but I don’t say so because I am being supportive of The Mr.the path he wants to be following. .. the one that we are all following with him…for him. I know in my heart that he will miss us just as terribly as we miss him and I will do my best to keep the kids occupied so that they won’t dwell on it.. but then it will get quiet and we will be drifting off to sleep and I will get sad that I am in bed alone. I will hear my BIL snoring in the next room and miss having The Mr.snoring beside me.
This trip is very important to me. Not only because I will be sharing a large piece of my childhood with my kids, but because I am doing it for me as well as them. Yes there is is I am actually doing something for me for a change. That is now always easy for me. I am not giving up on something I want because of The Mr’s path. Not that he would ever ask me to do so. He would never make me give this up again, like he had to last year. But the trip last year fell the week we passed papers for the business loan to buy the store. I will be home in time to celebrate our 1st anniversary. I made sure of that!
I am also a huge disorganized mess right now. I have stuff here there and everywhere. I refined my lists tonight and I will be working on them tomorrow… it is the only full day I will have to do so since Friday was taken away from me. I was told I didn’t need two day anyway… so I will be doing what I need to do for going away, the rest will either wait until I get back or be taken care of by the one who told me I didn’t need two days heh!
And I am trying not to freak out about being away from the store for 8 whole days. Not that The Mr.couldn’t survive without me.. but I am just a little concerned about him and his ideas without me there to say you have to wait until that deposit clears before spending that money… ugh I can’t think about all that now!
Now is for relaxing.. tomorrow is for planning and preparing. Sunday is for 2 hour and 45 minutes of driving.
Enjoy the vacation - and I think it’s great you are going somewhere that belongs to your past, I think those are the greatest vacations! My parents did it for us girls, and it was fun doing it for my kids (where we got married). ENJOY! 
We’ll be up there Sat, Mon, Tues, Wed, Sat, Sun. Do you have a boat? We are always so close to there, I should tell hubster to cruise over there, now that I know what chair to look for! LOL

Snoring is a funny thing, isn’t it? My one friend snores terribly. He could keep an entire city awake. But I don’t mind it. If anyone else snores like that around me, it makes me nuts. Go figure.
Men and money is a losing battle. Pfffft!
