Thanks for the vibes, everyone. She landed safely early this morning and is now trying to catch up on some much needed rest, although she’s called me a few times already and says she wants to come back home. lol….
They’re in California. Most of the family lives in the East Bay there, but then she’ll be traveling down south with Grandma to a timeshare she has on the beach. (Her dad has his own things to do while there so he doesn’t get in her way, so she’s at the mercy of the relatives.) She’s supposed to stay with G-ma through the first week of July, so she’ll get to see a real fireworks show for the first time in her life. ^_^ If she lasts that long.
The boy is here with me. This is why my daughter left, she can’t stand him. But I think she’s wondering if she really had to go to this extreme now.
I have plenty to do. Supposed to have the son help me clean out the house. Three bunnies, three cats and one dogglefox still need cleanings and meals and walks (respectively) at regular times during the day…but after watching the plane being tracked on the internet all night last night and not getting much sleep…I’m a little slower than usual today. zzzzzz…………
Jenna (dog) also has an ear infection I have to remember to treat each day. Mimzy continues to ruin any sleep I might get with his disapproval of goggie moving into the bedroom by throwing his litter box at all hours and messing his entire cage, so more work for me. It’s not like I’m ‘smokin’ cigarettes and watchin’ Captain Kangaroo’ …lmao.
Needless to say, I am using every method at my disposal to keep myself sane. I have terrible anxiety disorder and I thought I’d beat it until this trip came up. >.< This wasn't quite as difficult (although it was) when hub and son went to Cali last year…but I had two big dogs to walk and my daughter's company then, it was like a mini vacation for us to be away from the boys that long…this is just agony of the first degree because…well…she's my baby. *sniffle*
She puts on a brave face, but you can tell she’s scared too. Even with family around, it’s just not the same because she and I have a rather extraordinary bond. And I know that will probably change after this trip, she’ll become more independent (which is good) or I suppose it could go the other way and she could get more clingy…but overall I’m just hoping she has some fun. She desperately needs some. Watching my son get his own life has kind of made her wonder why she doesn’t have one yet. *shrugs*
Sooo…if you guys see me in here more frequently kind of making random, meaningless or garbled posts to this thread…that’ll be why. rofl…
