Behold! We are on our way to Oklahoma right now. My kids are hopefully this excited to be spending the next two days in the car with each other, although I took the liberty of separating them (seat wise) for this trip.
A few weeks ago I was having some anxiety about leaving our “normal” for two-ish weeks to live in a hotel in the middle of nowhere and homeschool while we were at it … but I assure you that most of my anxiety has melted away. {!!!}
I think knowing about this trip for so long and getting excited about it as I packed, baked, bought, made lists and cleaned our apartment for our return really helped that process for me. Also, lowering my all-time-famously-too-high expectations and meeting Reality at my door has brought me down to Planet Earth for this vacation/work trip/adventure.
Someone give me one of those tokens you get in AA for meeting some kind of goal. 6 Months Sober? Nope, First Time Fluid.
{This is a pre written/scheduled post to keep y’all up to date as I’m spending hours in a car with my family. Also? Please pray for sanity and laughter and plenty of Car-Bingo. Oh, and safety.}
