Bryan got pink eye yesterday, so adding his antibiotic eye drops to the packing list. Eryn's complaining of a headache and a tummy ache today, and I'm trying to discern if it's nervousness or something more.
I'm looking over my first aid kit one more time, altering the usual stuff to be more kid-centric: spray on Neosporin, chewable Tylenol, children's Pepto?
Making sure I have all their insurance cards, prescription benefit information, and...
A smart friend shared a piece of information that parents go on family trips, but don't call it a vacation. A vacation is going somewhere with less responsibility. A family trip brings on more responsibility than had you just stayed at home. I've done plenty of family trips before, and I'm really excited about this one. And I really missed my family on the previous vacations. Both are important. But now, when the kids are 8 and 5, vacationing needs to go on hold for some time, and I'll get better at thinking of all these things kids need, like extra Kleenex for those inevitable boogers... I don't think they've mastered the moving snot-rocket skill yet.
