Family Reunions

So, my family FINALLY talked me into attending a family reunion last weekend.  I do not really enjoy camping and do not like to leave my little ones at home.  (It is amazing how you can supply cats for camping!  They had their playpen and pet stroller and were ready for anything, except dogs.)  The girls were amazing at how good they did.  Who says cats don't enjoy camping?

Today, I'm not sure if that was a good thing to do or not.

It was nice seeing all the aunts, uncles and cousins that I haven't seen for decades.  Listening to all the stories of their lives experiences, which were very enthralling.

The bad is...I thought my panic and depression was settling down.  After taking those days off for the reunion, I realize that they weren't settling down, they had just gotten so normal that I was ignoring them.  This week has been majorly trying.  I want to cry at everything and have been sleeping A LOT!

I am losing my part-time job this month and would like to only work one job for a while.  I think I'll eventually end up getting another one.  Especially now I'm think it would be nice to get a used Class C motor home!  The girls will really feel like they are at their second home then.

I guess we'll see where life takes us!

Reunion

I can't believe it, but my family has finally talked me into going to the Anderson reunion.  I haven't been camping in decades!  So making sure I have everything I need for a long weekend and camping has been quite the accomplishment.

I also have to get everything ready for the girls.  Because, if I have to go ... THEY HAVE to go also!  I got them a playpen and pet stroller.  So far they have gotten used to the playpen and I think learned to accept the stroller.  Pepin being Pepin, has decided they are hers and doesn't like Shadow to even check them out, let alone go into them.  I keep telling her the playpen and stroller are for both of them.  (I still can't get Shadow to really use the cat tree.)

I'm actually getting excited to leave and have the car half packed up since Monday night.  I want to give the girls a bath tonight, so they at least start out fresh and clean, finish packing and ready to leave tomorrow morning.

In the mean time, I made sure that any books I might want to read has been downloaded to my phone, I ordered one of those phone chargers that work off batteries (and I have lots of batteries) and it should be here today, my mp3 has any books and songs that I might want to listen to, and the girls' new littermaid is ready for tent usage (the old one is on it's last gasps and will be thrown away).  I may be camping, but I can't do without some very important things!

All I can say now is, camping....here we come!
