Longing

I hate getting ready to go on vacation.  There's all these things to do - work, house sitter, cleaning, packing.  Do I have everything?  Did I get essential work done?  Do I have the right clothes to wear?

I love getting on the plane and thinking, "Self, if it didn't get done by now...screw it."

I'm ready to get on the plane.

School has begun and my boy is in 6th grade.  He's in his final year of elementary school, which is a little strange to think about.  Bob is in his final year of education, at least formally.  He turned in his retirement papers with his final day being February 20.  Hannah is getting married, so it's her final year of being single.  Aileen has moved into a dry cabin, so its her final year of... hmm, cleanliness?

Hmmmm, one of those days.... husband is creating a plan to move to Georgia and become an organic watermelon farmer, daughter wants to drop out of school and become an autism behavior specialist aide, son wants to drop out of school and become a Jedi or a construction site worker. Has my restlessness caught on? Funny because I went to get a massage, came home and drank a cold beer in the hot shower; I'm feeling totally content this evening. Now if I can convince the hubby to rub my feet while he outlines his farming plan it will be purt near perfect. Although I'm still contemplating the naked, green run..... might just be downright fun.
