I should be excited, but.....
So, B and I are leaving in a week to go to San Francisco. I've never been to California, so I am looking forward to getting to see it, but to tell the truth, I would rather just stay at home. I am so stressed right now, trying to make sure I have everything in order for the girls and the cats and everything else while I'm gone. B's aunt and office manager are staying here with the girls. I don't doubt that they are capable of taking care of the girls, I just don't want to overwhelm them with all the everyday things that have to be done. I'm going to pack their lunches ahead of time and label each bag with the day they will take it (their school is so small they don't serve food there, so they have to take it every day....) I'm going to lay out their clothes for each day along with any hair accessories or anything else they may need. I need to type up a routine about bedtimes and when to feed the cats and scoop the litter box and change the tadpole water- etc etc etc. It's really bearing down on me at the moment and I have to wonder if seeing San Francisco will even be worth all this stress. B is going to be at a medical conference all day and evening the first 4 days we're there. Since I can't find my way out of a paper bag, I think I'm going to hang out in the hotel and study for this next course I'll be enrolling in. Actually, sleeping in and being in a hotel room by myself with a TV, room service and peace and quiet sounds really good to me right now. Is that pathetic? I am having brunch one of those days with a good friend of mine from high school, so I'm looking forward to that. Anyway, after his 4 days of conferences, we will have 3 days to sightsee and drive around and all that, so I'm not feeling too bad about just wanting to hang out in the hotel the other days. And still- I'd just rather not go. I would rather just stay here and take care of everything myself. I told B not to ever schedule another conference trip during the school year. He doesn't understand why I'm stressed- probably because he just has to book the flights and pack a bag and he's done. Oh, well. Feels stupid to be complaining about going on a trip to California- but I have my reasons..... On to tackle more of this stuff on my giant 'to-do list'!

I understand how you feel. Just to go off for a night or weekend is often a struggle. All the packing and preparing is stressful..esp. when you are leaving the kids and pets behind. I think because we are depending on someone else to handle our responsibilities and no one can do it like us?? Who knows...but girl...you are so going to have a good time and yes probably just laying up by yourself will be the highlight of the trip! You'll be fine once you get there! Have a great time, relax, and take lots of pics. to share.
Oh..love the new look on your blog. Did you do it? I'm thinking about a new look too...maybe looking at something new will help me to be more motivated. I hate that I am not keeping up~missing good stuff!!!
Hey, Michelle! Thanks- I hope I have a good time despite all the stress... :0) The blog design was a choice on the 'dashboard' section of this thing. It had a 'template' design section and stuff and you pick the colors. So, it should be on your dashboard, too. I just noticed it the other day and played around with it some. Good to see you back on here!
