the day you realize that your relationship with your parents is no longer "parent /kid" but "adult/adult" is an odd one.
I actually had a conversation with my mother the other day in which we discussed her relationship with my dad. and somehow i ended up giving her advice. of course, i always caveat that type of conversation with the disclaimer of "i am single, so take this with a grain of salt"
mother or not.
still really weird.
learned some things that i never knew about. and in all fairness kids should not have to deal with or know about. it really brought home to me the fact that while they were trying to raise kids, maintain careers etc, they still had a realtionship to tend to as well.
i struggle enough with just the relationship aspect. i cannot imagine making all that other stuff work. but it does, daily for countless people i know.
i guess it provided a little insight.
don't really have much else to add at this point.
vacation was good, just not looking to go into all the details at this point. there was the usual drama and mechanical problems.
i have decided that will be my last trip with a group. it just gets too difficult to keep everyone happy and still have a good time. i have done 2 this year and both had their fair share of difficulty. from here on out, 4 people or less. that is my new limit.
having officially declared myself in a funk, i am going to go home, swiffer the floors, and assume the position on my couch.
i should do laundry.
i don't see it happening.
domestic goddess is not a moniker i strive to achieve.
