Five of Hearts

Apr. 27, 2008 - Stressful Vacation

Every April and May I am busy helping my dancer ready for her recital, planning summer camps/activities, purchasing next year's curriculum, selling our used books, reviewing what worked or didn't this year, and probably taking care of a few other things my jumbled brain can't remember at this wonderful hour.  I always feel as if we need a vacation after all of the chaos.  Well, maybe I'll finally get my wish.  It looks like we will be out of debt in a few months (yay!), so this year I've added the formidable task of planning our first ever real family vacation.  This puts a ton of pressure on me as I don't want to blow the one chance we may have to do this.  I don't want to come home and think "That's it?  We've waited 13 years for that?"  I will do most of the research on my own since my husband works long hours and I want to surprise him with some of the destinations.  We have a small budget, but I think it's enough to create some very special memories.  There might be a few issues to overcome for it to be a smooth trip such as our cramped car, pet care, and flying with a child that's deathly allergic to peanuts...  Okay, that's it; I need a vacation.
