Hey Upside Down,

I hope your weekend is going well and that you are either doing some nice things for youself or having a good time with your kids.

I'm going to be out of town next week. Going to Vegas!!!! I'm slightly nervous about this myself since my family has a history of negative vacations. I have complaining teenagers and my husband often ends up getting angry and disgusted with all of us... saying "You guys never want to go on vacation!!!" and "All you do is complain" blah blah blah (I kind of get thrown in with the group even if I'm not complaining!!!). Oh well... this is just something he's having to learn to deal with and fortunately he has FINALLY gotten better at it. It has taken many years for him to learn how to accept that families aren't perfect and we all have ups and downs, and being part of a family is accepting that. A little bit of conflict is NORMAL!!!! Oh well... you take care.


There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
