Things are coming together and I am falling apart.
Well, we’ve officially gotten the half-hearted blessings of our 13 yr old daughter, who has, up till now, insisted that this trip is designed to ruin her social life.
Also, I’ve created a post on Facebook and I think I’m about to delete it- the comments after only 1/2 an hour make me feel quite positive that I don’t want to share this with everyone yet.
Mainly, I wanted to compile a list of people to visit… houses of friends where we could park overnight so the kids can play in a real yard, perhaps have a slumber party, we can share a meal with another family and explore the area with the guidance or advice of a local.
What I’m getting are people’s initial reactions to the idea of the trip and suggestions about things we should see. We have a HUGE list of things we’d like to see along the way- the kids each have tons of things they want to check out in each location and I’m happy to be able to say “Yes, add that to the list”
But posting it on Facebook for every family member and old friend to see… Not that anyone has said anything negative… yet
I wonder if I should have mentioned it to family first. We do plan on visiting them.
Ahhh- hold me up, girls. I can DO THIS.
You can totally do this! You are so close! Don’t let others bring you down. It’s YOUR dream, not theirs. To each their own PATH. You will be fine. You are fine. You can do this. You are doing this. You have my support over here for what it’s worth!
