slightly frazzled…Mostly excited. August 26, 2009

It’s 11pm and I still have much to do before bed because in the early morning hours of tomorrow, the munchkin and I are headed to the northern region of the state to spend a few days with my dad at my parents’ lakeside camp.

I’m pretty sleepy at this point and still have a fair amount of packing to do, but I have to say, I’m pretty excited and looking forward to this trip. I’ve never really spent any fair amount of time alone with my dad since my brother was born…and he’s now 19…but, honestly, I’ve never done a trip like this with my dad, period.

And I’m not trying to say anything negative there. In the past, when it’s come down to spending time with a parent, I’ve always gravitated towards my mom…I think that’s normal. That girls mostly spend time with their moms, and boys with their dads. That’s how it goes.

But I’m looking forward to having these next couple of days with my dad…and sharing that with my daughter
