torture
So we're going on a family camping trip and, since the 15 year old is part of the family and still living at home, we're making her go with us. I haven't seen anyone this surly in quite a while.
One aspect of her response was to pack her bags for her upcoming trip to Georgia in two weeks. I think it's her way of reassuring herself that she'll be escaping us and Alaska soon. Another aspect of her response is to be snarly and nasty; six hours in the truck together tomorrow should be interesting.
Tonight we're all packed and ready to go. Tomorrow, the adventure begins! This will be our first camping trip with the puppy, so that should add to the chaos. The boy is as wound up as can be, so that will help the irritation factor as well. Add in the fact that the father always gets stressed out from the final packing and double checking to make sure we haven't forgotten anything, and it's a recipe for fun. Luckily for us all I know we'll forget something, that the boy and puppy will fall asleep within an hour on the road, and that all will be well.
But if we're not back by next Friday.... call the authorities. Either we're dead or more likely we've all gone crazy out in the woods together....
