We leave on a week's vacation at the beach tomorrow.
I know it will be wonderful and relaxing. Really I do, but right now I'm having trouble seeing past what is going.
I'm not feeling well. My father snapped at me this morning over something I don't even get (my mom said to forget it, he's in a VERY bad mood), my husband is snapping at me (very stressful work week), but he doesn't get that he's hurting my feelings, thinks I'm trying to fight with him (yeah, because I need that now)...I've got clothes to pack, a car to clean, figure out how to keep the peace with my dh and sister and bil while we're there, so many things to keep track of...
Ugh, very whiny. We just need to stick our toes in the sand and be together. I know we're almost there...

Praying for you!
I think getting ready to go on vacation is one of the most stressful times! My DH always tells my kids "Steer clear of mom -- she always gets stressed when we're headed out of town!"
Have a wonderful vacation!

How awesome are you guys?! VERY!
Don't get me wrong, I am so very tired, but wow, things went so smoothly. One daughter very joyfully cleaned out the van for me. I actually packed my little girls in less than 10 minutes. I had a great talk with my mom about what is really going on with my father. Dh is chilling out.
And would you believe in the middle of everything, my mil dropped by out of the blue and I was able to happily invite her to sit down to dinner with us!
Awesome ladies!
I am always praying for all of you dear friends. God is good!
