I'm trying to be responsible.
It's summer and my husband has given me explicit instructions to, "relax and enjoy your day."
But, I am my fathers daughter. It's summer and you have to catch up on all things you've slacked on for the last nine months. That, and I can't possibly sit and watch TV while my husband works hard all day.
So I've made a schedule. It involves walking, playing ball with the dogs, working out, weeding (1-2 hours), a small amount of school work, writing, house cleaning, baking, and a few summer classes.
This week I got to dance, act, and create big scary dragon masks at ArtsExpress. It was definitely worth the weeding that did not get done.
Next week I am scheduled to take a week-long 3 credit class for my Gifted Endorsement (Yes, as a part of my career I have to pay money to take classes to assure I keep a job). This class is a crash course, it takes several months of evening classes and squishes them into one miserable week.
However, it also happens to be occuring the same week as the ladies are visiting Spokane. And when I say ladies I refer to pretty much every girl in the family who is capable of climbing in the car (and Isaac and GQ -sometimes you just get dragged along). I would love to go to Spokane. I would love to see Emily and her adorable children. I would love to visit and cackle for a 10 hour drive. (That would be 5 hours of driving, and 5 hours of potty and drink breaks).
So what to do?
There is also the issue of space, I'm not sure how much there is in the loaded vehicles.
And that whole 'being responsible' thing.
And I'm not sure how I'll feel about being away from my husband and dogs that long.
But it will be such a fun outing...
hmmm, what to do?
