I just bought plane ticket to Boston! Wonder if I should tell H? Hmmm idk. Eventually I guess. Kids will be touring with youth symphony and we had planned on going as a family last year. I'm going on my own now but that's okay. Looking forward to it. Not allowed to chaperone kids, but I'll be able to go to their concerts and will see the sights on my own. Feels weird, and final, and sad that this is their last tour and we're not going together to support our kids. My sitch is definitely different this year but I'd regret not going so I'm relieved to have made that decision to proceed. It puts me in the 'mom' role w/ H I guess, still not understanding exactly what IC was talking about with that. But it's important to me nonetheless.
