In Trouble

Well, it's always funny when Mom is in trouble with her kids! Maybe not "funny", but ironic. Eric had won a gift certificate a few weeks back for up to $400 on an airline ticket. Since he has little vacation time left (and has vacation scheduled in Dec.), he said he wouldn't use it. My nephew Adam, is a senior and is in his last musical in IL. Although he doesn't have the starring role this year, I'd still like to see it. So my dear husband booked me a flight with his gift certificate. Me and me alone.....going on a trip......all by myself! It's been years since I've done this. The last time the girls weren't happy with me either! Of course this time could be because I'll see cousins, aunts, uncles and their grandparents. And, of course, the play. But seriously, I could use a break. As much as Eric travels and I am left to be a single parent, sometimes I feel totally used up. So this will be nice.....for me anyway!
