Well, it is FINALLY raining here in North Texas and everyone who lives here couldn't be more excited! We desperately need some Seattle-like rainy days here for about a week. So awesome! I haven't had much to blog about lately. Nothing real exciting going on, just busy getting our daughter ready to start Kindergarten. She is enjoying school. Except she was disappointed in the lunch selection last week and that her art teacher was sick on Friday which meant she didn't get to go to art and probably will not get to go this week either since it is a holiday weekend (Labor Day). And she said that P.E. (Physical Education) is boring. I always hated PE also!
On another note, I have a decision that I'm struggling with that some of you might be able to help me with. My husband wants to go on the annual ski trip with our Sunday School class in February. The only problem is that they leave the day before our oldest daughter's birthday. She will be turning 6. And we would not get home until 3 days after her birthday. I'm just having a really hard time thinking about being away from her on her birthday. I don't know if bringing her with us would be an option or not. It didn't work out real well on our River trip. Being the only couple there with a kid was hard. It meant that most of the time we were separated from the group because they were doing rides at Schlitterbaun that were too rough for our daughter. She just wanted to stay in the kiddie area and play. Which meant I stayed there too to watch her and didn't get to join our friends. Kind of a bummer for me, but I think she had a good time. I had been thinking that if I agreed to go on this trip, I felt like I was choosing my own fun over my daughter which leaves me with a MAJOR GUILT TRIP. I know my husband wants to go and it would be good to get away without the kids. We haven't done that in 2 years, and I know it's time. I just wish the trip was planned for another weekend. They took this trip over her birthday weekend last year also! At this point, we have a few months before we would have to make a decision to go or not. And I'm just going to wait it out and see if my husband decides to quit talking about it. But, seeing the video from last year each week in Sunday School makes it kind of hard to forget about it!
