The past few weeks have kept me hopping as hubby and I prepare to leave on a jet plane to Puuuuunta Caaaana this Friday. In the miriad of planning and packing I've had little time to worry about missing Zackie which I think is for the best. It's funny how before the vacation was booked, I probably didn't need a vacation but BOY do I feel like I need one now!
To start off, I've gone off an anxiety med that I sincerely felt I didn't need anymore - bad timing? Perhaps. Also, I'm not sure what came first, the stress or the migraines but they really seem to be feeding off each other. This has led to everything little thing sending me through the roof - just ask my husband! Our pool pump crapped out (on our "let's keep it cuz it's already here and it won't cost us anything" pool) and with the impending trip we had to make a snap decision to buy a new pump or drain the pool. This week. And implement said plan before Friday. And of course hubby "isn't sure" what we should do so he'd like to think about it for a month like most other decisions he makes. *SIGH* I found a friend willing to sell us one but that meant I had to find time in my very busy week to drive out to my ex-work and pick it up from her - it was AWKWARD.
Zack has been a trooper, going along on trip errands but he's also been skipping his naps. Which means Mommy is skipping her naps as well. A Mommy who isn't getting her nap isn't one you want to mess with. I guess hubby missed this memo because he nonchalantly throws out another dozen things we need to do before Friday and since he's working every minute up until we leave, these tasks have been added to my list.
And my dog either suspects we are leaving her or just hates me because she's decided to destroy something everytime I leave the house for an hour. Yesterday it was a box of crackers - note to self, always put away groceries! I left the non-refridgerated items in the bags on the floor in the kitchen and my (over-fed) dog helped herself to a box of Olive Oil and Cracked Pepper Triscuits. It didn't look like she even ate any, just ripped the box to shreds like she was a mafia member sending a message. MESSAGE RECEIVED!
Thank goodness for vacations - it's nice to have the chance to completely stressed out before I go and relax it all away!
