So, between school trips, meds for the boys not getting filled/ picked up, and brought to the school, and #1's bizarre test schedule, and #2's stepping up ceremony, and work.... I'm tired. But all that ends today! Well, tomorrow, (for 2 months anyway).
I can't believe next year I'll have 2 High School students. *sigh*
In 31 days, we'll be off on our family trip, YAY! It has been changed and re-arranged so often, I can't believe it's finally settled. (:
Here's the deal...
The boys belong to separate chapters of a program here in town, and a charity group has taken an interest in the program, and every year sends them on some great trip, at least until they age out... Which happened 2 years into #1s group.
This year they want to take #2's group to California... Ummm, 13 years old, on a plane, on the *opposite* coast from here, with out me? No. And ever since I told them he wouldn't be going... I feel like a pariah! Everyone treats me like I'm the bad mom because I won't let him go. Sorry, due to all those reasons above, and a couple other issues I have... N. O.
So originally, to make it up to him, we were going to do the family vaca. at Universal Studios Orlando. Then I ran into a few snags. I've *never* been on a plane. Not sure I want to be on a man- made version of a bumblebee. My mom isn't too cool on the idea of planes either. I hate crowds, and I hate heat, and I hate humidity... Orlando Fl. in August? Sooooo..... (But maybe for winter break next year?)
Now we are hitting our favorite amusement park, getting (got) him a new bed, painting their room in their favorite sports teams colors, and a few other surprises. (:
So, am I bad mommy for not letting them take my 13 year old to the opposite coast, without me?
Thanks for noticing me!
ps... some of Mother Natures' awesomeness for ya! From right out of my window!
