Summer Daze

I've had a count down going on my work calender for my upcoming trip to Oklahoma and Texas. But unfortunately my husband got laid off and we've had to postpone our trip. I'm not really loving the construction business right now. I'm thankful that he has been placed with another company temporarily, but it kind of puts a damper on the whole vacation thing.

I have cried, begged and pleaded with Eric to reconsider. I'm itching for some good TexMex and I was really anxious to wear my cowgirl boots. I would go alone, but then I started to think that my vacation would not be a vacation. I think it would be called a work-cation?? Let's face it...I have a hard enough time controling the "3 Ring Circus" at church on Sunday mornings. I try to always have reinforcements with me, my mom & my sister. So imagine me trying to take my boys on a vacation all by myself.

I should also take into consideration last time I attempted to go on vacation without Eric. .......May 2007.....Disney World. I was about 6 months pregnant with Quintin. I sometimes refer to this as 7 days in hell, and I only had 2 boys to chase after. I do recall myself saying "Never Again!!" So I think I'll take my own advice.

When I tried to get my mom in on my pity party wagon..she suggested that I only go to Oklahoma and visit with my brother and his family. Why didn't I think of it....but wait...by myself?? Eric can't pass up on work...so she suggested that I ask my dad. He is retired now and has nothing but time. Plus I think she's tired of all the little projects he has her doing. Maybe she needed the vacation..?

So it's planned...Vacation is back on! Road trip with Pop! Bill, Lisa & kids here we come!!!
