Four days out. Trying to subtly hint to my husband that I want to do Walk in Walt's Footsteps...not sure why I'm not saying, "hey let's book this" or just booking it myself, so now I'm overanalyzing THAT.
My MIL also told us YESTERDAY that they won't be able to stay at our house the whole time because of other plans. That would have come in handy A MONTH AGO when they made those plans after confirming with us that they'd come stay with our dogs while we were gone. Luckily, she told DH and not me, so he made arrangements for one of the guys who works for him to come stay at our house for the last few days of our trip. I would have driven to her house, carried her to the roof and thrown her off if she'd told me first, so, someone somewhere was looking out for her.
We adopted a longhaired chihuahua from a rescue three weeks ago, and she's shy around anyone outside of the four of us. Took her two weeks to finally let DH pick her up (she'd lay by him and let him pet her for a few minutes, but wouldn't let him pick her up), and she prefers me to anyone else. I always get so worried about leaving my other dogs anyway, so this is making me even more anxious, because I'm afraid she'll have a setback and be scared and miserable while we're away. I know some people think it's crazy when others are so caught up in their pets (we have four rescue dogs, which sounds like a lot, but three are small and one thinks he's small), but they are literally the most important things to me outside of my husband and kids, and I get so scared that someone is going to accidentally let them out, or they'll shoot out the front door (one is an escape artist...you just have to get in the car and open the door and he comes back, but he will take off like a shot at the first opportunity. He always goes to the same house and the same bush, so he's predictable, but still, LOL!) We ask everyone who sits with them to please come and go through the garage, but it's not like I can control whether they actually do or not.
I know it's last minute vacation jitters, but I've gotten myself all worked up and worried...maybe I'll look on the bright side - the nerves could help me drop a couple pounds before the beach, LOL!
The kids and I were talking this morning on our way to our weekday morning destinations (work for me the YMCA for them) and we started talking about our airplane ride and the kids started talking about
