Sorry all -it’s been a bit…
So much going on – mostly the craptacular weather as of late.
Rain – again – and again and again.
Throw in a weeks trip to Italy (I know stop complaining) a busy busy work environment and life. – HELLO!!!!
So – my son – what a kid – one of the many great loves in my life.
The love of his life – she lives in Arkansas City Kansas.
Drove up to Canada to visit only to be denied entry to our wonderful country – which was very upsetting but shit happens and I will not comment further. (still in shock)
Full on Mama Bear mode – drive son to border – to meet up and stick him in a car with her for the grueling 22 hour drive BACK to Arkansas City Kansas. Really short explanation to a long story but meh.
ROAD TRIP….
Of course that Mama Bear in me is thinking “what have I done??” I put my son – my baby in a car to drive across the universe (not really) and was freaking out last night.
But then my fat stupid head realized – he’s not a baby anymore. Dammit!!!
He’s a grown ass human that can take care of himself and hey…road trip with his love!!
I’d have killed for that experience at his age.
Where am I going with this???
Well – life throws us curve balls – all the live long frikkin’ day.
We can sit and wallow with the poor me OR we can make shit happen!!
So that is what we did – we made shit happen!!!
They are safely right now in Cleveland – a nice spot to land for the night to soldier on tomorrow to Arkansas City.
Will I worry about them – hell ya.
Will they be ok – hell ya.
Will I sleep tonight – hell ya!! UM NOPE!!!
I will sleep when they arrive in Arkansas City.
Some people call me a “helicopter parent”. I can guarantee I have NEVER gone on job interview with my children (extreme but it does happen).
Do I hover? Hell ya!!!
It is not because I don’t trust in their ability to get by – it’s because I love.
Train of thought train of thought.
So to recap – shit happens – we fix it – and we have chicklets being raise by a duck.
What more could I ask for?
