My son and his wife are in the air on their way to Europe for an intense filled 3 weeks…several countries….my anxiety has been a bit on the high side, but seeing the plane tracker and they are finally on their way has helped…I stayed up last night until after 1am last night waiting for them to come over and bring all their electronics for us to baby-sit…LOL I tended to keep eating until they got here last night….I went over my calories by, well lets just say a lot, went to bed and beat myself up, but woke up feeling a little silly for being so hard on myself, however it was kinda stupid to overeat because your kids are going on a trip….when I thought it through it was really silly to be so anxious for them… needless to say I have counted every morsel that went into my mouth today…still under the quota…yeah….
I should explain why I am so anxious over this trip…my son is my youngest, and most headstrong child…I am so glad he married his counterpart. LOL…she also has traveled, so she is experienced with Europe….she will keep him reined in and hopefully out of danger…I should probably have more faith in my son….he has a good head on his shoulders and has, to my knowledge ever done anything to stupid….but we all know that we kept all those fun tidbits from our parents…I am wishing them a wonderful trip of a life time and can’t wait to see them upon return…I am challenging myself to stay under my calorie quota the entire time they are away….I hate to think I am a crazy mother….but perhaps if the shoe fits I must wear it.
until tomorrow
