My turn to write something. Kinda.

I haven't actually written anything for almost a week. This is actually good because I think my brain is broken right now and I keep thinking of potential topics to write about but then I never actually make it past the title. I have about 3 posts that I've started that are titles only; I'll probably never get around to finishing them.

So, on Thursday the 4 of us are packing up and heading up to Lake Tahoe for a few days. We're staying in a rental house with hubs' sister and her family, and his mom. I'm, um... not exactly looking forward to it. The boys will have a great time in the snow, but, um.... well... it probably won't be that much fun for me. It's a long story.

I'm actually flying back to Berkeley on Sunday, because I have to run payroll for one of my clients on Monday, but the boys will be staying behind until Tuesday. That's right, I'm going to be all alone in my house for 2 days. This is like my dream come true. I have never spent a night alone in this house for the 10+ years we've lived here, and now I get 2 in a row! You might be worried that I will be lonely, but I assure you... I will not be. I just have to make it past the 3 days in Tahoe first. I'm worried about Child 1, though, he doesn't do so well with change like this and 5 days away from home is longer than anything he's ever done. And I won't even be there for the end of it. I hope he's okay.

Anyway, I have one Dive Bar post waiting in the queue, which I will probably post tomorrow, and then I don't have any idea if there's even an internet connection where we're going. Just thinking about it makes me all cold and clammy. At least I'll have my trusty Blackberry. Assuming I get service, of course.

I'm scared.
