I apologize for missing a couple of days. Things have been crazy. It’s really a good thing that I didn’t travel to get my son from Korea. I would have had a nervous breakdown before I got there. My husband and I took next week off so this week I am preparing for our vacation.

There were points today where I couldn’t keep a coherent thought in my head because I was trying to do so many things at once. Even while I was trying to create a list for my co-worker who will be handling the “can’t wait” things, my brain was contemplating the twelve other things that had to get done before Friday evening. My husband called me at one point to check in and talking to him was just one thing too many. I couldn’t get the words out and I finally told him to call me back.

I’m like this every time. It’s a wonder that I ever make it to a vacation. The before vacation part is always so stressful for me that I question the merit of taking a vacation and then you add travel into the mix and I’m practically catatonic. Don’t get me wrong, once I get to the vacation I have a great time. It’s just the pre-vacation that stresses me out.

This is the first vacation that we will be taking with our son. We’re not going very far and we’re only going for two nights, but it’s still our first trip (other than to Ohio to see my parents). My husband’s parents will be coming with us so it’s not like we’re going without support, but still…
