Yup

More snow. I definitely know I'm getting old because there was a time I would have been jumping out of my skin in excitement over all the snow we have gotten this winter. Now...not so much. The superintendent of Big Boy's school has gotten a bit closing happy and the kids are already going to school until the end of June and I'm just waiting to see what tomorrow is going to bring.

On a happier note, my in-laws are paying for 3 round trip tickets to Florida and we are leaving in two weeks...WOOT!!! It still hasn't quite sunk in yet that we're going on vacation. We need one so badly so the timing is just perfect. I can't wait to put on a pair of shorts and hippie shirt and just bum around for a week and forget about the cold doldrums of Jersey for a few days.

I was concerned about pulling Steven from school for the week but we didn't want to go when the entire country was on Easter break and neither hubby nor myself could get that week off of work so we didn't have much of a choice. EIther way, who cares? We are going on vacation and it's going to cost us next to nothing.

Off to watch the weather and pray this storm takes a different path because rain would be so much better than snow...

Quite the Conundrum

I think I have mentioned that Big Boy has his first real field trip tomorrow at school. They are all going to Chuck E. Cheese. Since I found out about the trip I have been planning on going but, as the trip gets closer, my anxiety builds. I am terribly worried about how BB will behave it I'm there. I am so worried about him acting up because I'm going to be there and I don't want his trip to be spoiled.

On the other hand, I really don't want to miss his first field trip. I have gotten a lot of excellent advice on what to do and it's no secret that kids do tend to act out when you put school and parents in the same equation. I spoke with his teacher earlier and she completely understands my anxiety and suggested maybe I just stop by for a few minutes to say hi. Now, a normal kid may get upset when they see their parent leave. Not my kid. He'll get upset thinking I'm there to take him home which won't be the case, and I dare you to try to explain that to an already over stimulated three year old. No really, I dare you.

So, here I sit wondering what to do. I feel like if I go, I 'll be setting him up to fail. I feel like if I don't go, he'll be wondering where Mommy is? Damn.
