Well, hopefully I'll have some new posts up soon. I didn't even do the Friday quotes. Man I suck. Anyway. I am going to Hawaii next week for my Grandfather's 90th birthday.
I was going back and forth on this decision because I am so slammed with the kids and their schedules right now that I thought I wouldn't be able to do it.
Fortunately I have a wonderful husband who encouraged me to do this and assured me the kids won't be roaming the streets, begging for food or waiting alone in a dark park somewhere, waiting to be picked up after soccer practice. I'm cashing in on a bunch of favors and asking a few new ones, so I better alott some time over there for "thank you gift" shopping.
If my mom were alive she would be taking this trip with her sister to see her dad and celebrate his birthday. His health is failing, his mind slipping. He now requires 24 hour care. In many ways this trip is more of a "goodbye," as I'm not sure that I will see him again before he passes away. I am also doing this for my aunt who has always done everything for me and asked nothing in return, except now. For the first time that I can ever remember, she is asking me to do something for her. She is asking me to accompany her on this trip.
The very least I can do is light up my credit card a little bit for airfare,
I'm taking off next Thursday and returning a few days later on Sunday.
Aloha.

I'm so glad you're going. And I hope it's a fabulous trip, for all concerned!
It is a good thing you are going! Just enjoy your time with your family, and dont worry about your kids. I'm sure you husband is more capable than you think.
I hope the area of Hawaii you're heading to was not affected by the recent earthquake!
Have a good trip
That is great you are able to go on that trip. Savour each moment with your family because it can slip away so quickly. Lots of warm fuzzy thoughts for your entire trip.
