It's been a long time since we took a vacation this long. We're leaving this Wed. for Vermont. Spending 5 days there and then 5 days in Meredith, NH by Lake Winnepesaukee. My in-laws are gonna keep the dog
in VT with them while we go to NH. I'm a bit nervous about this and may have Liv write reminders to hang on certain doors so they remember to close them so Lacey doesn't make a break for it. They love the dog but, of course, are not used to having her underfoot. We will spend the last leg of the vacation back with them. Olivia has orientation
for her new school (the high school!!!!!!) the day after we get home. She is already starting cheerleading practice this Monday so the summer, unbelievably, is already in "wrap-up" phase. As always, it is going
by crazy fast. I went for my massage and facial the other day on my birthday. Man do I love a massage.
I actually know people who feel sick after them. My sis-in-law got sick to her stomach after one, once.
They say it can release toxins in your body. I must me less toxic, 'cause they can rub me all day, I feel terrific afterwards. I wish I could bring myself to spend the cash to have them more often. They really do help with my neck(old whiplash injury) and stress level. I may FORCE myself to start going once a month. I still find it so hard not to worry about finances because of our "situation." There's just no way of knowing how long Tim will be able to work and if we'll be able to afford to live in this expensive area with less income.
I certainly don't see us moving either so somehow, we've got to make it work when that time comes. Oh well, as my sister always says, "jump off that bridge when you get to it." ;o) So off to do a little more school shopping with Olivia. Am I the only woman who HATES shopping? UGH! Most days, I'd rather stick needles in my eyes. And shopping with a 13 year old...double UGH!!!

Wow a massage sounds wonderful. I could really use one myself. My husband does a pretty good job rubbing my achy back and arms and legs, but I feel so uncomfortable about having someone else do it. I am afraid I might start crying. i do sometimes with Joe. it is from the pain and also I think it is from all those deep emotions that I have stuffed down. So the next best thing is our small hot tub. I would go out there now but my 16 yr. old son has some friends over and I don't think they would appreciate me traipsing by in my swim suit.
Sounds like you have a great trip planned. Enjoy every minute of it. You and your husband deserve it!
I'm not a big shopper either. I think that's one of the reasons I make Christmas presents or start buying them in July (well actually it was June this year), the thought of slogging round busy shops - blah! I really have to be in the mood.
Have a wonderful vacation (see I'm picking up the lingo)! :D
Enjoy your trip.....it sounds wonderful!! I would so love to see that area of the USA (especially in the fall when the colors come).
Try to relax and forget the everyday things with which you are faced.
Hugs.....
One of my daughters regularly went to a summer camp on Lake W. and I love that part of NH... blow a kiss to the Granite State from me while you are there.
Here's my intention for you, D: that you are either being given one year of monthly massages for a birthday present or that somehow there are extra funds showing up to make it possible for you to have this not-so-unimportant care for yourself... and this IS for the highest and best good of all concerned... so be it and so it is...whooooooo!
